Mayor Dorr received "black eye"
last week Tuesday, which will stand by
him for several days. He was returning
from fishing excursion with W. II.
Merrick, riding after the latter's nag.
One ofthe lines gave way, at time when
the aforesaid horse was going at a lively
gait. Result-collision with tree, and
cut behind the ear and bruise over one
eye for DIR. Dorr, which might have been
very serious accident. As it is, he will
soon be as good as new.
Mr. Luxinger, the young man who
was crushed in this city by the cars last
week, had an accident policy for $1,000.
This insurance will not only pay all ex.
penses arising from the accident, but will
provide a nice little SUM for his worthy
parents. Surely, such an instance as this
ought to convince any reasonable man of
the advlsability of being we'll insured.
Life and property are too precarious on
whict to risk the prosperity Of ourself
and friends, when insurance is so cheap
and reliable.

kindest wishes for a life brim.full Of
happiness. s.

friends, to attend social dancing party
at jones' hall in this city, Friday evening,

cannot take advantage of the invitation,
but we have no objections to the hard
working printer and his girl enjoying
themselves in this way. Printers are the
noblest, the honestest, the bravest people
On the globe. We know this is true,
