faction. Several of the male characters
in the drama got stuck once or twice
and thereby marred the smoothness of
the play somewhat, but this should not
be criticised too severely as all anna
tours are liable to become more or
less embarrassed when facing an audi
ence for the first time. The ladies act
ed their parts very well and it was
plainly to be seen that they had stud
led their lines closely. The farce was
produced in good style, and the "1mmi-
grants" by their funny sayings and do
ings kept the audience in I, continual
roar of laughter. The dance which
followed the dramatic portion of tho
entertainment was kept up until two
o'clock and was enjoyed by all present.
The Guards are truly thankful for the
splendid benefit accorded them on this
OCCASION.
Michael Lynch, q carpenter in the
employ of the Winona and ST. Peter
Railroad Co., was knocked off the Red
Stone bridge last Sunday night by a
passing locomotive to which a snow
plow was attached. He lives in Baa-
sens house at Red Stone, and was on
his way home from this city when the
accident occurred. He had proceeded
quite distance onto the bridge be-
fore he encountered the engine and
snow plow, but having met with SINH
lal occurrences daily he merely stcpp-
ed to the outer edge Of the bridge to
allow the engine to pass. just as the
snow pillow came along side of him a
lot of snow which had accumulated
on the plow fell off and swept him, off
the bridge. He fell distance of
about &c feet into a snow drift, strik-
ing several of the bridge timbers in
his descent. He lay in the SNOW drift
during the whole night and until found
by some of his comrades on Monday
morning. They conveyed him to his
house and then summoned Dr.. Berry
to attend to his injuries. Had the
weather been cold he would certainly
have frozen to death as he was unable
to move. after his fall, and when found
he lay just where he had fallen.
