Jos. Pfeiffer has been placed under
the care of DR.. Atwood and he de-
parted for St. Paul last Saturday morn
ing. 1t is now thought he will lose

St. Paul, Mimi, April Goth. 1879.
DR.. C. Berry.
Dear Sir:
Mr.. Jos. Pfeiffer came up this NOR.
ming. Your treatment has been all
that could be done by medicine. The
eye looks badly, as you say. am not
sure but that small piece of the wood
is still inside. At any rate nothing
but an operation will do him any good
and it may be necessary to enucliate.

We had occasion to visit Shells
brewery last Thursday and found Papa
Schell and his assistant Jos. Gag busy
at work finishing up some handsome
new signs, one of which each saloon
keeper handling schell's beer will be
presented with in few days. The
signs are got up somewhat after the
style of Blatz's signs and will be quite
an ornament. We also noticed that
workmen were engaged in excavating
for an aquarium which when completed,
Mr.. Schell will stock with various
kinds of fish. Mr.. Schel] has one of the
most beautiful and romantic places in
this vicinity and strangers visiting our
CITY should not fail to see it. They
will always be sure of hospitable re-
ception
Tom Cummings, who caused the de.
struction by fire of so much limb er
opposite Fort Ridgely ten days ago,
was arrested by sheriff Manderfeld and
fined SIS 100 and costs. We also learn
that Mr.. Cummings is perfectly will
ling to settle the damages with the
property owners as far it lays in his
power. He had waited long for a Ia
vorable wind before he set fire to his
grass, but as bad luck would have il
just as he got the fire fairly started
that wind storm of a week ago last
Friday swept down on him and scatter
ed the fire in all directions, causing thu
disastrous results.
Quite an excitement was created II
the lower part of the city last Frida!
by a gentleman unearthing a small
coffin.shaped box while at work in hi
garden. The news spread like wild
! fire and soon an eager crowd had con
gregated, all intent upon seeing tn
contents of the box. Numerous wer
the conjectures and some limited tina
it contained the clue to a dark mystery
but when the lid was removed nothin
more nor less than tbs skeleton OF
poodle dog was disclosed, to the grea
disgust of all present, and our hope
for material upon which tc base tw
column article vanished into thin air
The poodle no doubt had been the pc
of some young lady and when it passe
in it's checks had received decen
burial.
