Rev. Father Bereffi, pastor of St. Isl
doris Catholic church, died on Sunday.
He was i'll but few days and his death
was wholly unexpected. Father Berefi
was born in Switzerland but came to this
country many years ago officiating as
priest three years in Brooklyn and snb-
sequently acting as professor III the col
iege at Mount Calvary in this state. He
was likewise pastor for four years in
Osceola and entered upon his duties as
pastor here in November last. He was
ripe scholar and an accomplished lin
guist, speaking with case and fuency
many modern languages. He will be
buried to-day with appropriate ceremo-
MES.
Michael Taugher, James Taugher, NJ
Gallaher and 4. Taugher left for Milwau-
kee on Saturday to be present at the or
dination OF Michael Taugher, Jr., which
event took place yesterday. They are
expected back TO morrow. The young
priest will be accompanied By two other
Reverend gentlemen from the Seminary
and grand religious teto will be given
on Sunday.
Thomas Gallogly disposed of his
household furniture at auction on Satur-
day. On Monday next he starts for
Traer, Ia, where he will Immediately
engage in the grocery business. Tom
will bring a fair share of tact and energy
to his new vocation and ought TO be sue
cessful. His many friends here wish
him hearty God-speed.
The men from this town who served
as petit jurors during the last term of
Court returned completely "spoiled.
They turn up their noses at manual la
Dor and sigh fer the life of juror or even
that of a lawyer Alas, alas, man never
knows when he is happy!
A team belonging to Fl. S. Schneider,
ran away on Sunday. Mr.. S. and two
ladies who were in the wagon at tho time
were thrown ont with much violence and
one of the ladies severely hurt. The
frightened team collided with buggy
owned by MIR. Doersch and damaged it
considerably. Law suits are apt to
originate out of the affair
The board of review are in session and
equalizing the assessment roll to the best
of their ability. Every one goes away
perfectly charmed at the gentlemanly
treatment they receive at the hands of
the board and the very obliging manner
in which their respective assessments are
reduced. Notwithstanding this, there
is much talk of running st. Peter for
assessor at the next annual meeting. He,
probably, will give entire satisfaction,
but then it may be nip and tuck"
l.. J. Nash of Manitowoc will deliver
an Grafton in temperance hall on July 4,
at 2 P. NJ. 1t is needless to pass any
encomiums on Mr.. Nash-he is known
far aDd near as a perfect gentleman and
finished orator. His name in connection
with the celebration will insure success.
The society have adopted a very inter
esting programme and expect "big
time" on the great anniversary.
Fears are entertained that Dan O'Con-
nor will dispose of his property here and
leave us. This would be public cal
amity inasmuch as his place as farrier
and horse sheer could never be filed.
1t is to be hoped that the man who con,
templates buying Dan out will fall vic
tim to the measles or chicken-pox ere he
deprives us of such famous black smith
and upright citizen.
