Having had occasion to drop in on
Louis Felkel, in his new quarters in
basement of Klesling' s block, the other
day, we were agreeably surprised
to see with what taste the room has
been arranged. Immediately upon en-
tering the room one is confronted with
a large mirror Which is tastfully placed
behind the counter. This mirror not
only answers the purpose of ornament:
but it is q very good thing to remind
one that it is about time to go home
when you get shat seas over A
splendid new billiard table. With pool
accomplishments, is placed in one end
Of the room to accommodate the lovers
OF the cue. At the other end of the room
a place has been rartitioned off for the
accommodation Of parties that wish to
have a social chat. The pictures dis
played on the walls are beautiful and
unique. In short, the arrangement Of
Of the room is complete, and is equal to
any in st. Paul OF Minneapolis.
MI. Felkel, who is Il pleasant accom-
modating gentleman, seems to be of
the right stamp to make the business
a success. See advertisement i'll anoth-

a quantity Of meat, property Of MI.

of these hellish deeds are evidently
impressed that there is no hell, ut
they should be made to suffer all the

Quite a sensation was created in town

a fatal accident, a few miles from town,
while on his way home. 1t was report
ed his horse had run away throwing
Mr.. Z. out Of the buggy against a stone
with such force, that he died instant
ly. Dr.. Berry was summoned and hap
PLY found John alive, With mo inten-
ton of dying yet for awhile. It seems
that in turning the corner at the brick
school house in Milford, the wheels on
one side of his buggy went upon {; stone
throwing him to the ground, but he
was merely stunned by the fall.
