MISS X. MCLAUGHLIN. Teacher
The Comic Opera Troupe.

The Liliputians are creating quite a
furore in Eureka, judging from the
uniformly good houses that greet their
performances. The matinee yesterday
afternoon brought out all the little
ones in town, besides a great number
of ladies. Last evening the usual jam
prevailed. and every seat in the hall
was occupied long before the curtain
rose. The entertainment was as en-
joyable as usual, and the little AMI big
folks were at their best. "Toodlss," is
a laughter provoking piece, aud the
drunken act is inimitable. The fair
Jennie divided the honors with the
Commodore, aud Colonel Goshen, as
Farmer Acorn, was literally i'm

night to spare. have concluded to lis.

citizens, and will give an extra per-

the last opportunity afforded our good
people to witness the troupe in theii
performances, and every n ought to
attend.

From the " Reflex" OF yesterday
On Monday last we interviewed A.
Prairie regarding the killing Of Ben
Tsscol aud a man named Taylor, at his
ranch on the 4th instant. He says the
report is without truth in any particu-
lar, no one had been killed nor had
there been anything that looked like
a shooting scrape.
A strike has been made southeast of
Osceola, that created quite a stir among
a few who were let into the secret, sew
eral days ago. All we have been able
to learn is that the discovery il gold
quartz. Several of the favored few
awaited themselves of the first oppor-
tunity to visit the new find.
A report has reached here to the eff
feet that the Ward Consolidated Com
rany has paid off a part Of its indebt
edness-that portion that was liable to
give the company trouble.
Those who visited Carnahan's Lake
last Sunday, pronounce the skating ex'
cellent. The ice Is from five TO seven
inches thick, and as smooth as glass.
An assessment Of ten cents per share
has been levied upon the stock of tn,
Alameda Mining Company. which be
comes delinquent on January 23d.

What they Found.

There was a group of three or four
gentlemen Standing in front of the
Court House yesterday afternoon, en-
gagged in cursorily examining an ar
ticle which n of them had Just
picked up on the sidewalk. We sol
emily promised no to reveal their
names, but they all do business within
the county building. and two OF them
are married men, who ought to have
been ashamed TO make such remarks
about the article in question. 1t was
nothing more thar q dainty bit Of silk
elastic ribbon, some twelve inches
long, with an einblamatic bit of gilt
work on each end. fashioned into the
shape of two joined hearts, the metal
forming a clasp. In fact, il WAS a gar
ter. and three wicked men were specu
lating on the size of the limb from
whence 1t had dropped, wondering
who the fair owner could have been,
and making all sorts of naughty com
ments On the subject. So busily were
they engaged b a none of them no
ticed the approach OF q dark coiored
buxcm wencb. She had her y on
tho man who WAS exhibiting tie hand
some girdie, and she reached out for it
with the exclamation, ''hsnd dat over,
boss; dat 'ar's my garter, shuah as
yer bawn; clar to goodness, my stock
ing am down on my heel" He handed
It ove and the crowd adjourned to
the nearest saloon, where they swore
each other to secresy, took something
on the strength of the joke. and then
tn tell the first one they met
what a good thing they had Oh each

Evansville Courier.l
From q reliable citizen of Stew
art county, Tenn, we learn the fol-
lowing wonderful story:
Mr.. William Todd was fishing
with a trot-line in Tennessee river.
After catching several fish he went
leaving his line out. The
same evening he went back to take
it up, but it was nowhere to be seen,
and he supposed it lost forever. A
few days after Mr.. Elkins was going
the river and discovered the
float Of q line about q mile below
where Mr.. Todd was fishing. lie
and some friends who were in the
boat started to take up the line, but
on reaching the hook they found on
it instead of a supposed log, a
hideous monster, which so fright
ened them that they dropped it,
but concluded to tow it down to
Pine Bluff. They pulled it out on
reaching there, and found it to be a
nondescript fish or alligator. 1t
was dead, but had not bitten at the
bait. The hook had caught in its
body in several places, and in strug-
Cling to get free it had gotten the
line around its head and drowned.
In trying to get away it had dragged
a forty pound sinker over q mile.
The creature weighed about $50
pounds and was six feet seven
inches in length, and had a nose
like a hog and a forked tongue. 1t
is supposed to be either a species Of
sea shark, alligator, or alligator gar,
and had probably strayed from the
over Mississippi waters.
