getting scarce and wild, and are not being
captured in such large numbers rs in the
early part of the season. The duck season
commenced yesterday but it will be some
time yet before there is good pass shooting.
The new engine and boiler for Messrs.
Cogel s. Delays elevator arrived last
week and are being placed in position.
About the last of the week the elevator
will be ready to receive grain, and with
the extensive improvements made this sea-
son, the facilities will enable the proprie-
tors to compete successfully, for an equal
share of the wheat.
ANoTHER.-Ere long Morris will be
noted for the many handsome residences
which adorn the suburbs. There are now
three large elegant and commodious private
dwellings in course of erection, the frame
of the last one, MIR. S. Iarson's, having
just been raised. None of these buildings
will! cost less than three thousand, and five
thousand will not be an overestimate of the
cost of one of them.
One would think that, after being hauled
up, fined or imprisoned, or both, that some
of the roughs would stop their carousing
and rowdyism, and learn that their law
lessness will not be tolerated in this COM
munity Apparently there is liberal
streak of pure cussedness in the human
race, and whisky appears to be the best
medium for bringing it to the surface; it
promotes suppuration as it were.
TRAMP OR BURGIAR.-Late last night
Mrs j House, was awakened by hearing
a noise in the house. Mr.. Ii. was called,
and on Investigation, found man In the
kitchen. The fellow could not give an ac-
count of himself and appeared half drunk,
his only excuse for being on the premises
was that ''he thought no one lived there.
Unfortunately. owing to the lateness of the
hour, the rascal was not arrested.
RE-oRGANIZE.-Someo of our young folks
who remember the many pleasant gather
ings held under the auspices of the NJ. @.
c. are making anxious inquiry as to when
the club will be re-organized. There has
not been any steps taken as yet, but we
understand the intention is to have a meet
ing of the ex members at an early day, and
make arrangements for renewing the or
ganization and having series of dances
during the coming season.
ART-FIsTIC.-A couple of our artists in
dulged in a tisticuff alteration last week.
| The case was ventilated in the Justice
court, Monday, and the assault and batter.
er Was sailed $500 and costs. These pet,
ty troubles and differences could be settled
in some less disgraceful way, and ii is
singular that respectable and intelligent
people will debase themselves in the eyes
of the public, by condescendirg to such
low means 10 settle disputes
TO ORGANIZE. Republicans of
Stevens county are making preparations to
organize Il Garfield and Arthur club some
time this month, and there is no doubt but
the organization will be numerically large,
as the suggestion, that such club be form
| ed, has been well received A mass meet.
ing will be called sometime next week or
the week following, and date, time and
place will be announced in these columns.
Every republican IN this county is expected
to send in his name.
A rural rooster got i good lesson the
other day, when he tried to lie and sneak
out of paying for meal. The +. r. went
into Waterston's restaurant and after re.
calling himself with crackers and sardines,
told the clerk he had paid for the meal;
when cornered in the lie, he tried the dead
beat game of no money, and when told he
must pay, calmly replied, you can't get
blood out of Il turnip" After Jimmie had
moppcd the floor with him, the fellow
forked oyer, and went his way a saddel
and Il wiser man.
SAD ACCIDEST.-Last week the house oil
Mr.. Lighthcart, who resides near the ives
line of. the county, Was destroyed by fire
IA young child perishing in the flames
The facts as near as we can obtain them
are, that the parents were out in the flel(
at work, and two children were left alon,
in the house. By some means the building
took fire, and before the parents coult
reach it, it was enveloped in flames, th,
youngest child an infant being burned II
death, the other one having had sens
enough to appreciate the danger and make
its escape.
| NABBED.-For some time past two O
three young men, strangers, have KEEP
themselves full of tanglef foot bulge, ant
as consequence are rather noisy and dis
orderly, but managed to keep off the stree
and SO saved be0g deposited in the cit
J refractory. Finally, however. one of tn
party got obstroperous, was landed in til
cooler and got off cheap on payment O
$500 and costs. We would ask what ha
become of the ordinance requiring thes
loafers to work on the streets, q few day
with pick and shovel would cure these lad
and stop their spreeing in this town at least
New SToCK.-Mr. Fl. I'll. Wells returne

brought one of the largest stocks of genel
al merchandise, ever shipped to this point
