Emanuel Schnobrich, who has been
engaged in the saloon business for some
time at Jos. Vogel's old stand, has
lately purchased Mr.. Zieher's house,
lot and saloon fixtures, on the corner
Of Minnesota and Third North streets,

The Empire mill has been shut down
since Saturday evening, owing to the
noll-arrival OF sacks, slaves, hoop-poles
wood, etc, which have been detained
on the road for some time ON account

terprising managers Of this mill, as
every thing is now in fine running Or
der. The Hour which is being turned
out has ready sales wherever it has
been tried.
The next masquerade ball will be
held at Turner Hall week from next

on a splendid programme which will be
made public in due time See an

The Turner and Maennerchor mas.
querade balls were both quite largely
attended with merry maskers and
spectators. The ball of the former ex-
| celled in the number of beautiful and
rich costumes, while that Of the latter
had better sprinkiing of gentlemen s
character masks. The lady maskers
| prcuominated largely in both instances.
The tableauX arranged by Julius
Berndt in Turner Hall were very beau
tiful and elected the applause OF all
| present. In Union Hall the comic
| opperetta ''Die Drei Lebens!nuedcn'
was rendered by Iessrs. Stohlmann,
Petry and kudOlphi, of the Macnnar-
| Choir, in a very good manner. The
tableau was also heartily applauded.
The practice Of turning their coats in
side out rs WAS the case in Union Hall
should not have been tolerated by the
Maennerchor or any other society.
The railroad has been blockadod al
| most continually $ ince Tuesday Of last
week. On Wednesday no work could

continued during the remainder Of the
week. The road from the west was
opened on Saturday anda train came
through on that evening bringing por-
ton of the mail that had accumulated
for some time. The first train from
the east arrived about one o'clock on
Sunday afternoon, bringing nearly a
whole weeks mail. The road was
again closed on Sunday night when a
heavy fall Of snow took place, and con-
tinuing during the greater part of
Monday. Although the last snow has
not drifted very badly up to this time,
it has undoubtedly filled up portion,
at least, of most Of the deep cuts Oh the
road, enough to cause considerable de.
lay to the trains.
Two sad cases of freezing are report
ed by the Lyon County Meas. Mr.. Ole
