nose and cheek were badly cut, and some
of the bones splintcred. The wound is
painful, and likely to cause Mr.. W. to re-
main in doors for few weeks.
The Episcopal sociable at the residence
of Mrs. ii. B. Wolff last evening was we'll
attended. Music, readings, recitations,
charades and a very nice supper contrib
utcd towards making the evening very
pleasant and highly enjoyable. Lack of
space prohibits US from giving more OK
tended notice The next sociabe will be
held at Goods Hall, on Friday, Nov. 14th,
When in the course of human events it
becomes necessary for man to steal an
others good name to hide his lost or fail
ing reputation, the thief is so near hell that
there is no fun in it. A coat of tar and
feathers would look like snow on his black
carcass, at least we think so, and would
like to try the experiment to see if We are
not correct-it would sustain our opinion
and not hurt the rhinoceros hide of the
| baCk-biter.
Communicable carpenters who have
been at work foa some time past on the
Davidson elevator, have about finished
their improvements. An additional eleva-
tor, car load scale, new cupola and other
improvements, will make this one of the
most convenient elevators ON the line. The
facilities for receiving, cleaning and ship
ping grain have been doubled, and if the
railroad company will furnish cars, this
elevator will never be blockaded.
Some of our brother editors take occa
sion to make unkind remarks on the fact
of our losing our pocket book. The editor
of the Scott County Advocate considers it
served US right. and that we were an Zee
jot" for carrying such plincely estate in
our vest pocket. We don't know about
that, as We have not yet received the book
or papers, We of course conclude that the
finder has taken our offer and is busy pay
ing the dunning bills-a hcrculian task
and one which, judging from our expert
ence, will keep him busy till spring.

Association held meeting last Monday

Clouds" "Everybody's Friend" my
Brothers Keeper" 1.-TWO Puddifoots,
Duchess of Dublin" Boston Dip" anG
oax,oro1 ofb -,
cluded in the repertoire. 1t is probabl,
that play will be presentedln about three
weeks, and the dramatic club will spare NJ
efforts to sustain their reputation, and ell
5 deavor to excel all previous efforts. 1t i
probable that the play above the Clouds
r and 1.-TWO Puddifoots' will he presented
r first, and we can assure our Tcaders that
c most enjoyable entertainment is in stor
for them.
