stole Mr.. Aug. Qninse's saddle out Of
his stable last Monday night, although
Mr.. Quinse had taken. the precaution
to tie his dog only a few feet from the
saddle.
Some days ago wager of $4,000 was
made between Carl Brauns and Rev.
Alex. Berghold, the former to swim
from the Eagle Mill in this city to
Mankato in u hours. Mr.. Brauns was
to start Monday morning atfour o.
clock, but as neither side up to that
time had put up any money Mr.. Brauns
did not make the effort.
AS will be seen by notice in another
column Mr.. r. G.. Bestor will open
an academy in this city Sept, lst, for
the purpose given ladies and gentlemen
an opportunity to prepare themselves
for higher institutions of learning.
We understand that each scholar will
be allowed to choose q course of studies
most to his liking. We hope our young
folks will encourage Mr.. Bestor in
this lalldable undertaking.
Since July 18th horse racing in our
city has become fashionable and few
evenings ago Anton Brey, Chas. Stue-
be and F. Vending tried the speed
or their respective nags, each party
putting up $40 with the understanding
that the one that came out ahead
should take the whole. Mr.. Weddings
horse, which won the prize on the
Fourth, proved to be the fleetest of the
three. We understand that Henry
Dressler made the most money out of
the race. Henry knows which side to
bet on.
No more pleasant place can be found
to spend Sunday afternoon than the
ssHunters' Rest situated about one
and half miles from the centre of the
city near Hauenstein's brewery. The
place has been considerably improved
during this season, is furnished with a
bowling alley, target for target shoot
ing, &c. Everybody is welcome, and
we understand the place is visited
every Sunday by many Of our citizens.
Rain! Rain!! Rain!!! Since our last
issue it has rained almost necessarily
and at times coming down in sheets
of water with the force of water
spout. The most serious storms visit
ed this vicinity "Wednesday night and
Sunday morning. The first was accom-
panied with but little wind but the
storm on Sunday morning was accom-
panied with both wind and hail, but so
far we have escaped more luckily than
some other parts Of the State and the
crops in this vicinity have Us yet suf-
fered but little. ~
An oriental traveller describes this
busy scene witnessed on historic
shores: "Our steamer landed on a
beach which was the port of Antioch,
where the disciples were first called
Christians. There was no town at the
waters edge, no people,. no wharf.
The passengers, and the merchandise
were put ashore in lighters, which ran.
up into the sand. A troop of camels,
with their drivers, lay on the beach,
ready to transfer the goods into the in
terror. Among the articles landed
were boxes marked 'DR. J. G. AVER
& Co., Lowell, Mass, U, S. A. show
ing that they contained medicines and
whence they came. These with other
goods were hoisted on the backs of
camels, for transportation to Antioch.
Thus the skill of the West sends back
its remedies to heal the maladies of
populations that inhabit those eastern
shores, whence our spiritual manna
came. - Windsor (Vt.) Chronicle.
