Valentine Orth, of Milford, had a
grand house warming last Saturday
evening. About 8 o'clock the neigh
bors gathered in, soon after the musi.
clans arrived, and the young folks COM
menced the dizzy dance while the older
ones discussed self-binder, politics,
Hauenstein's best, &c. A few minutes
afte midnight the lady of the house an.

all else for the time being in the en-.
joyment of the many good things which
had been prepared for the occasion. It
was one of those friendly gatherings
of neighbors which one always remem-
bers with pleasure.

The arrest of #. J. Templer, promi-
nent grain merchant, who lately failed
for $75,0 900, charged with issuing frau.
dulent warehouse receipts, has created
a sensation in business circles. The
complaint was made by A. w. Armour,
president of Armour Bros. bank, to
whom Templer is largely indebted. On
the preliminary examination Templer
gave bonds for his future appearance.
Templer expresses entire confidence in
his vindication. He has had large con-
nections with the Chicago grain men
in extensive business speculations.
