JUGGED.-A rum soaked rapscullion en-
deavored to pick fuss with another
stranger, on our streets last Tuesday,
and endeavOred to give force and EN-.
phasis to his argument by drawing and
brandishing knife. Marshal Tewksbury
stopped his noise and buster and marched
him to the lock up, While enroute to the
Jail, another booty lad endeavored to in
terfere, but sudden quietus was put upon
his lawlessness by some of the bystanders,
who fired him into the cooler to give him
an opportunity to rest and recuperate, and
keep his pard company. They will serve
five days.
AccIDENT.-News was received last week
of an accident of painful nature, which
occurred to Mrs. Elizabeth Ayers, of this
place, while in the vicinity of Sank Centre.

II. Baldwin, left last week on visit to
friends and relatives at their old homes in
Stearns county and while en-route, the
wagon seat become loosened, and both
were thrown backwards to the ground
Mrs. Ayers, being upwards of eighty years
of age and quite feeble, was seriously
shocked, but at last reports was recovering
slowly, and apparently had sustained nc
internal injury. Mrs Baldwin fortunately
escaped with few bruises.
A WARNING.-Our old friend and fellow
townsman Maj. Overton, in thoughtles:
momert, ventured weather prediction, tc
the effect that we would have no more
rain for thirty days. AS he came within
only twenty eight days Of guessing cor
rectly, and going on record as weather
prophet, we. in behalf of his many friends
: congratulate him on his hairbrC a1th escape
, We pull lish this article as warning, an(
hope it will restrain other needless persons
from jeopardizing and destroying all pres

unwarrantable recklessness. Such conduc
on the part of a person of mature year
would be deemed rcprehensible.
OUTRAGEous.-By some means or other

by what means lie manages to get the liq
keeper in town who woud sell him it, no
is there man mean enough to buy it TO
him. Upon inquiry we learn that TIL

for him by Il small boy, and we would asl
the authorities to take steps to ascertain
where a minor can obtain liquor. Perhap
Mr.. A. c. Satters young son can give som
information.
