The above accounts for the delay
in issuing this number of the TRlB-
UNE but Ben promises sit shall not
occur again" and with this under
standing we must pardon him, aud
ask our readers to do the same. The
wedding party consisted OF only
relatives and a few intimate friends.
Ben's friends in the band contributed
much to the pleasure of the eve-
ming by a pleasant screnade,
which honor he aud his fair bride
fully appreciate. The lads who con-
Quoted the charivari acquitted
themselves creditably, except in
their efforts at ''house decorating"
of which we are sure they are not
proud, and from which they should
be warned in future lest they bring
dishonor upon themselves aAd their
calling.

SHEEP kILLED,-Last Saturday
night dogs got into the the sheep
fold of L. II. Shepard, lessee of the
Mining Company Farm in this city,
and killed outright seven and in
jured eight other sheep so that they
have since died-making a total loss
of fifteen. Several of the sheep
killed were very valuable, among
thom five recently purchased at
cost Of $50. We shall not express
our sentiments in regard to the dog
keeping practice, which is account
able for this misfortune to Mr..
Shepard, because we could not do
the subject justice.
THE last Grant county Herald an
nounces the retirement from that
paper of Capt. John Cover, who sue
ceeded bis father, Hon. j. {. Cover,
as its editor and proprietor, nearly
ten years ago, and has been connect
ed with it continuously since. Capt.
c. is good writer, a No. | printer,
and gentleman calculated to honor
his calling and do valuable service to
his country We hope the profession
will uot long be deprived of his SER
vices. Mr.. Edward Pollock becomes
sole editor and publisher of the Uer-
ald, and under his management, there
is every reason TO believe it will re-
tain its elevated position and power
among the leading papers ottheState.
BUSTED.-The Grant County .fd-
rocate, after brief yet brilliant
eXis' ence, expired with its issue of
last week. The editor, in somewhat
"sarcustical,' yet unequivocal Ian
guage explains that, being unable to
satisfy a mortgage TO the amount OF
| $500, and unsecured claims 10 the
amount of $4,000 more, he is
compelled to surrender his position
Internationally. The 1drocate's
demise viii be regretted by all It's
| exchanges, among whom it was
priced for its editorial ability and
vigor, as well as for its political idio-
Syncrasies. 4 rumor to the effect
that the Id0ocote establishment IS
t. be purchased by John Cover &
Co, and used in publishing IIaz-
elton organ, we have authority for
saying is wholly without foundation.
