Cassv1lle Notes.

July IS, $780,
FRIEND POLLOCK Harvesting is progress
sing finely but last nights rain, sort of SUI
abian fog, has put dampeT on it, and it is
feared has damaged the oats materially. All
fall wheat, rye and barley herea bouts is cut
and in shock and are good in quality, though
light in quantity.
Excursions are the order Of the day and
the mania has taken hold Of cur ferryman.
These moonlit evenings he gets Up company
of the young folks Of both sexes and accom-,
panied by Ship toms string band they exourse
up Turkey river to the station, and those OF
the excursioaists that do not stray off in
Iowa float back willis thsy keep time with
Symptoms violin. The boy with the bones is
dispensed with, his place is supplied by the
rafting of the horse power, which is grand.
"A large number of our young folks went
to Dubuque last week, TO buy an interest in
Barnum's show, and il seems some at least
succeeded. No. "a in the Jefferson seems to
be the mystic number, while in the Dennis
ton House at Cassvills No. Is was said to
possess the charm.
Friend Bartlett wears a smiling counte-
nance these days. 1t is the advent Of ten
pounds of female humanity that makes him so
happy. About month sooner would have
been small source of happiness 10 the Emu
merator likewise.
Yankee ingenuity Ia far famed, but here
we have something which is likely to beat
the Yankee. A Cassyille Frenchman has
killed his calf and has put artificial legs into
the skin and otherwise stuffed the skin of
tho calf with straw and has tied it up to
tree and thus is successful in making the old
COW come up regularly to get MIXED. Anoth-
er, though net q Frenchman nsr a Yankee
either, claims tia. cew can be threshed TO
give milk, and, if properly doas, will give
pure, unadulterased butter without the
drudgery of milking-why not? The orig
inator has an IDEA that he eau get up ma
chine for the purpose of thrsshins COWS. He
occupies tbs premises lately vacated by the
ingenious Greybill, of Patent r. R. gate
fame, and probably the genius Of Grsybill is
lowering around the premises yet.
We had call this msrning from Major
Meigs, of the U. S. Army. Mr.. Meigs, in
company with Capt. Allen, U. 8. Engineer, is
looking up some Of Uncle Sans property,
and they are making arrangements for some
more river improvement about Cassville {.
However at present time the river is full
high aud on the rise again. II the water gets
low enough there will be at least two or three
months of good work put aud We rather
like it.
Our saw and planning mill is NOW again
running at its full capacity. Stevens & Bart
lett are fast filing up their dsplsted lumber
yards. They got large raft Of pine logs
some tims in the spring, on which the high
waters rather hindered shsm in saving.
Presently Mr.. Stevens will 60 up in the pine
country for another raft.
The Baptist congregation, G. D. Stevens
pastor, are about to erect fine church ed
| iGce it is understood, for the use Of all Pro-
testant denominations. The building is 10 be
S2x50 feet, frame, vensered with brick.
Remy Brothers are at work excavating for
the foundation. The building will be an or
namsnt to the place, and fill want long

--Schmitz Is Grimm, a. eur brewery, have
finally dissolved partnership. B. S. says
partnership is poor ship to sail in aud pros,
per. Mr.. Grimm has bought out Sehmitz
and will. ii is understood, run the thing on
bis own hook He is q naa OF business ca.
paeisy enough to know that, 80 make good
beer, it requires good barley and hops, and
he has also the means 10 procure these arti'
