DTOlUneG in a. CiSter1a,

The family of William Forsyth, who Tive
at $50 Summer street, were visited by sud-
den and sad afliction yesterday afternoon,
by the drowning of an infant son in the els
tern. The little one, only seven months old,
was playing around the door, and creeping
outside, was last seen alive by
its mother abont O'Clock lying
on the grass. She having her
the child, and hearing no noise from it sup
posed it had gone to sleep. About O'Clock
she looked and could not find it. Mr.. Al
bert Holland, a neighbor, who was passing,
was asked if he had seen the child, ..and ut
the mothers request started for a neighbors
to see if it had gone there. AS he passed the
cistern, which is near the door, he noticed
the cover of the cistern, which is level with
the ground, showed aside, and said,
"perhaps it is in the cistern.'' He had not
reached the next house when he heard a loud
shrek and saw Mrs. Forsythe fall to the
ground. He ran back, and looking in the
cistern he saw one of the child's feet. He
Immediately jumped in and brought the
child out and did all he could to resuscitate
it, but it was too late, the body having prob
ably been in the water half an hour before
its absence was discovered. The mother and
Oldest daughter, who has always taken care
of the child, are nearly crazy with grief.
The coroner was notified, and granted q
certificate Of burial.

W1NNEBAao CRY, June 24.-Anticipating
the rush consequent upon the completion of
the North & South road, Mr.. Delong, of
st. James, has opened s'tony'' billiard
room and saloon.
Weather fine. Crops almost bound for
ward. Nice shower to-day.
Numerous strangers are daily arriving,
looking for land, business occupations,
homes, etc.
The steam mill has closed until the fall
crop, owing to the scarcity of wheat, and
Delavan buyers paying higher price. Good
reasons.
This being an age of changes, Mr.. Collins,
of the firm of Collins & Quiggle, has sold his
interest In their popular drug house to Mr..
Chapman, late of Connecticut. Mr.. G. will
not long remain idle, but soon embark in
other business.
One of the landed men of town, with an
eye to business, donated the depot grounds
to the new road and tue land extend
ing the streets to the depot, to the village,
which will thus enhance the value of his ad-
joining property.
Many improvements are going on in the
village, among others p. McKinstry & Co.
are putting an extension on. the rear of their
brick store nearly as large as the original,
which will make it the roomiest and most de-
sirable store in the place.
In speaking of the new road the
Press says: s'Workmen are putting
in the ~ that is to unite our North and
South with our East and West railroad, and
it is reported that tracklaying on the for mer
road will be commenced at this point and
extended northward to connect at Garden
City by the time the heavy work there is
done.''
There is to be live celebration here the
4th of July. Ample arrangements have been
made Hon. T. II. Evarta, of Rushford, has
been secured to deliver the usual address.
Mr. b. E. Mayhem, the wide-awake granger
and wheat buyer, is to read the declaration Of
independence. I. O. Conklln mar
halls the affair, A. G. Dunn,
president, with Mr.. 81. G. Bilbie
chaplain. A grand street parade is an
nouced, including two hundred Calathump-
ians, also the usual base ball match, sack,
foot and wheelbarrow races and glass bali
shooting, which it is hoped will leave Dr..
Carver and Bogardus in the background.
ssGreased Pig and q bowry dance are not
the least among the attractions. Hurrah for
Winnebago.

Charles B. Wake, who has made about
fifty complaints against the various saloon
keepers of this city for keeping open after
II o'clock at night, says that he will be
made ''catspaw of no longer'' and will
not press any more of the comp plants that
he has made. It appears that Wake was
secretary of a temperance organization, and
it was through the inducements and per-
suasions of the members of tho lodge, many
of whom are ladies, that he made any of the
complaints.

The fair for St. Michaels parish opens in
Opera hall to-day, and will continue ten

ladies composing the city and rural clubs,
which tends to make things lively. Many
very valuable gifts have been presented to
the fair by individuals and clubs; among
these are two fine heating stoves costing
$5O each, and an elegant parlor set. These
gifts will be disposed of in various ways, one
of them to be voted to the most popular
married lady. The members of the parish
have been busy during the past two months
making extensive preparations for this un-
dertaking.
Considerable excitement was created on
the lake shore, at the lower depot, yesterday.
Chief Shortall happening at the depot Just
previous to the departure of the 2:25 tram,
recognized Sullivan, one of the party who
made the disturbance in Schulenbergss addi-
tion on Sunday. The recognition was mu>
tual, and Sullivan Immediately started for
the water with the officer in pursuit. The
fugitive swan out in the lake some distance
to some logs, and removing hat and boots
ran back and forth upon the logs meditating,
apparently, whether he had better strike out
for the Wisconsin shore. This purpose,
however, was frustrated by the chief, who
had procured boat and approached his
man, and the latter concluded to make the
best of poor case and started for the shore.
