II Tuesday afternoon, some country people were
trading at Lelands store, and their children amused
themselves by exploring the odd hooks. In their
peregrinations they found their way into the room
the end of the store, where the olasses bar
rels and such things kept and undertook to test
the working of the fauccts The result of their ex-
periments was discovered some time afterwards,
when two of the moasses barrels were found empty,
and the floor covered an inch deep with forty fifty
gallons of the finest syrup in the store. The profits
on the dry goods sold to that party hardly compen-
sated for the loss on trcacle.

~ Ora Phelps was arrested in St. Joseph, Monday
night, for assauting man for the purpose Of rob
bling him. This is but natural step in the career he
set out upon, and surprises nobody. During his
short residence here his brutal treatment of his wife
drove her to seek refuge in her fathers house, and
his confirmed rowdyism, and beastly conduct toward
his parents resulted in his getting leave Of absence,
when he went to St. Joe, where he engaged in call
ing from which the steps all lead downward.
