Boscobel Items.

The home Of Hon. Geo. c. HazeI.on was
the scene Of music, mirlh and enjoyment on
"Wednesday evening last, the Boscobel Light
Guard Band being the persons who managed
the affair By very pleasant Sc ,enade. Mr..
H., in his usual eloquent maune-, showed his
appreciation Of their efforts in a very nice
little speech, which brought out three rouslng
cheers for the speaker. A few friends were
quietly notified by the leader of the band to
be present and all enjoyed in the highest de-
gree, the welcome and entertainment ex>
tended by both Mr.. and Mrs Hazelton. The
muscular effort necessary to render those
lengthy pieces on sulsry summer evening
did not tend to diminish in the least the
hearty appreciation OF cigars, cake, and cool,
ing refreshments so hastily and yet 80 bounti-
fully brought together by the parties so pleas,
antly surprised.

ing, but still continue to improve. The en-.
terprise, pride and we may say devotion of
these gentlemen to their chosen pleasure
could be rewarded with nothing less than a
decided success. Many of the members own
very handsome and valuable instruments and
all ofthem are good as shown by the SMOOTH
ness and purity OF the tone. At the serenade
above mentioned, the stiffness of the summer
evening was in amoment broken by the lively
strains of Montrose Quickstep which beauti.
full piece was certainly rendered in an excel
lent manner and considering the extremely
limited time spent in learning it, we remark
that the city may well be justly proud of the
Boscobel Band
We are panied to learn of a very sad ac-
cident that happened Sunday afternoon. The
section men" eleven in all, were returning
to their homes in Wauzeka, having been en-.
gagged in removing the iron rails in the track
and replacing them with steel rails, in that
portion of the Mil & st. Paul road between
this place and Blue River The men we're
using two hand cars and were running very
rapidly when as they neared the Boscobel
depot one OF the wheels of the hindmost car
suddenly gave away and the six men were
thrown with great violence together with the
broken car quite distance from the track,
resulting in injuries to all and serious ones TO
some Of them. One fellow is suffering from
fracture of the skull and DR.. Carley who was
called Immediately to attend them, thinks it
very doubtful if he can recover Another is
reported as having had tn, clavicle broken
besides receiving some serious internal mi
ries, while cuts, sprains and bruises seem to
have been visited pretty freely upon all of
them 10 a greater or less extent.
1T is extremely sad TO look upon an in
sane person but the necessity of taking such
people In charge and seeing that they are
taken to the place most suitable for them is
apparent. A Mr.. Jacob Burkholder, of Ma
rion, was taken on board the train in charge
of Messrs. James Bailey and Isaac Woodward
this Tuesday morning en- route for the Insane
Hospital at Madison. He has been home
some little time on furlough but it was
though! best to have him returned

Jerry Dodge, so well and favorably
known in Lancaster, was drowned near the
celebrated Custer massacre, in The territorie,
last week. He, few years ago, was the
most promising young man in our city, and
many predictions were made that he would
some day make shining mark for youthful
aspirations TO emulate. He was engaged
with railroad surveying party. The follow
ing notice is from the 81. Paul Pioneer

Paul, received the melancholy iufor-
nation yesterday, that his brother in- law,
Mr.. j. E. Dodge, attached to a Northern
Pacific surveying party, was drowned in the
Yellowstone river, near the mouth of the Big
Horn, On the 2S.h Of June. No particulars
Of the accident have been received, though
at last accounts the body had not been re-
covered. Mr. Dodge was a young man of
only nineteen years, of fne education and
bright promise. having been fitted for uni
versity course, upon which he was about to
enter. He leaves a mother and sister in st.
Paul, who are heart broken at their terrib le
calamity"

the citizens Of Lancaster and vicinity to the
rare intellectual treat which " i'll be afforded
them by Prot. Cunning who will deliver q

Notwithstanding the intense heat of las.

Bloomington, and it would be pleasure to
review each lecture were my pen adequate

Prof Cunning brings with him the magic
key of science with which he unlocks Dame
Natures doors long fastened by the hand of
Time, then swinging them back on their
hinges BY the power of his own thought he
unfo!ds the wonders Of the ages and brings
yeu face TO face with the mysterious changes
wrought out by the forces Of nature.

pants for expression. How we long to speak

thoughts that fill our souls with their strange

with the changing forms of vegetation from
