The volume OF our doube-sheet issue has
steadily grown, until, as heretofore stated in
this column, on Saturday week it had reached
the largest regular single edition ever printed
in the twenty-eight years OF the existence of
the paper. This seemed to be the eliminating
point,-the largest possible sale that could be
made for a paperin Westinghouse the edition
OF last Saturday was slightly in excess, even, OF
the enormous, and up to that time, exceptional
issue OF the preceding Saturday. The orders
already received for copies of the next double
sheet Indicate that the edition on Saturday will
be even larger than any previously printed.
Advertisers and news dealers will please send in
their orders early for the fifty-six column paper
of Saturday.

This company Of youthful militia,
under the command Of Capt. Henry
McHenry, rs announced last week,
gave public drill at the Fair grounds
Thursday and Saturday evenings.
Although these little fellows had only a
few weeks drill, they obeyed orders
like veterans, and their youthful cap
tain commanded like "a hero Of many
engagements. These performances
was the most entertaining feature of
Fair. Great credit is due Capt. Henry
McHenry and the Hartford Cadets.
On Saturday evening Capt. McHenry
gave the cadets social hop at court
hall, to which many Of the grown up
people We're invited. The little soldiers
each had a fair partner and proved
themselves as gallant and polite to the
ladies and AS experts in dancing rs in
military affairs.
The Hartford herald., 1880-10-13

The hop at Court Hall Friday night,
given under the auspices of the Hart.
ford Social Club, was largely attended
by the baux and bellies of our embryo
city, as well as those of neighboring
towns.
Prof. Ludwig's string band was
promptly ON hand, and bright eyes,
young hearts and nervous feet, looked,
beat and danced time to music's breath
ings.
The large number of young lady
visitors present added great enjoyment
to the occasion, among whom we men-
ton the names of Miss Fannie Broth
ertOn, of Owensboro, Misses Florence
Fleming and Fannie Cate, of Rumsey,
Misses Nellie Gates and Josie Landrum,
of CalhoOn, Miss Lila Thomson, of
Madisonville, and Miss Irene Eaves, of
Sacramento.
The festivities of the evening We're
protracted until about 2 o'clock, when
the happy thrOng returned home, each
to dream of pleasures past.

Hunt-Humter.

Our readers will remember an account
of difficulty occurring at McHenry
about two week ago, between James
Hunt and Monroe Hunter, i'm which the
former was seriously cut with a knife.
1t was thought at the time that Hunt
could not recover, but he is getting well
rapidly all the same. Mr.. Hunter had
an examining trial Monday, and was
acquitted, upon the idea OF self defense.
The evidence disclosed that he and a
brother of Hunt were having some un-
pleasant words about u slanderOus re-
port Hunt had started on Hunter, when
James Hunt ran up behind Hunter,
striking him and catching him by the
whiskers, pulling out lot of hair. Some
say that Hunter had his knife in hand
whiting at the time, IL not, he got II
out quite quickly, and, striking round
behind him, cut Hunt badly i'm three Or
four places. When Hunt began to feel
cold steel he got away and armed him.

ped from further fighting by the by.

Your yourself, your wife, your family,
your community, to have 1t insured ut
once. You can pay the little sums an
nually that it requires to keepit insured
and scarcely miss it, but II, by some ac-
cident, it catches fire and burns up all
your eartly possessions without any in
surance, it leaves you and your family
In deplorable condition, but II you
have an insurance policy. in the event
of such loss, you feel, to some extent,
independent, and can secure you anoth-
er. Delays are dangerous, and fires are
happening around us almost daily. Do
not neglect this matter any longer.
