took watch out of vest hanging in the
cabcose and put it in the pocket of another
The chap who lost the watch, about the
time he discovered who had it, was in such
a frenzy that it took six men to hold him
while explanations were made, but nj
though he cooled off, he dent believe up to
this time that the chap who had his watch
did not steal it.
One of Mr.. NJ. Diedrich's youngest chill,
dren, six months babe, who has been
sorely afflicted with weakness of the eyes,
and threatened with partial loss of sight,
has been so successfully treated by DIR.
Atwood, of St. Paul, that it has been
brought home entirely cured. The parents
are naturally greatly relieved to find that
their babe is likely, thanks to DR.. Atwoods
skill, to recover from the dreadful danger
which threatened total loss of sight.
Painters are busily putting the finishing
touches on the interior of the Episcopal
church, and when they have completed
their work the congregation will have one
of the neatest and cosiest places of worship
in the village. The colors chosen are soft
and cheerful, ard while the seats are ut
present rather too dark to harmonic we'll,
yet when they are upholstered they will
afford pleasing contrast. The exterior of
the edifice has been finished and the body
color and trimmings are such as to give it
very attractive appearance.
A young lad about fifteen years of age,
who lives Fear Donnelly, stole pocket
knife from Larson & Wilson's store yester-
day, and started up street to Croonquist's
where tried to trade it off for tire.crackers.
Failing in this, he went to Morris drug
store, but was overhauled by Mr. Larson,
who made him return the property, allow
ing him, in consideration of his youth, to
escape without punishment From all &C.
counts this boy is a fair specimen of NATL
raj depravity and narrowly escaped being
sent to the Reform School short time ago
1t may be superfluous to mention it, but
that south east wind of yesterday was q
pretty tough old blow Somehow the ele-
ments manage to make things interesting
this year, all over the country, the snow,
wind, rain and hail storms being the most
severe of any season on record We amt
posted on the moons apogce or perigee
business, and don't care 10 be, but as far as
experience goes. we should judge that the
moon, stars, planets and other bodies
which are blamed for all of this foolish
ness of the elements, are not 'sheavenly"
by a jug full.
Several enquiries have been made about
the proposed excursion to Browns Valley,
Ortonville and intermediate points, but at
the present writing nothing has been done
in the matter. The only difficulty in con-
nection with the trip is the fact that the
steamboat does not connect with the trains,
and it is doubtful if a change could be
made unless either special train was
hired, or the boat chartered for a special
trip. This would be expensive, and but
few could spare the time, three days and
two nights, which would be occupied by
the trip under the present running arrange
ments.
New DEAL.-Our young and popular fel.
low townsman, Charley Rohne, has pur-
chased from Messrs. Merriman, Burrows
Il Co., of Minneapolis, their branch yard
at this place, which he has so successfully
conducted since it was established three
years ago. Mr.. Rohne will of course be
permanent resident of our village for all
time to come, and that he will meet with
the very best success is the wish of numer-
GUS friends, and we venture the prediction
that he will, for Charley possesses the es-
sential qualifications of successful bust
ness man, namely: strict integrity, enter
prise, caution, and the faculty of attending
faithfully to his own business.
LEcTURE.-hirs. Anderson, of Mime
apolis, delivered very interesting temper
ance lecture at the Congregational church
last evening. A fair number of our towns
people were in attendance, but the audi
ence. was much smaller than it would have
been had it been more generally known
that she was to have spoken. Mrs. Ander-
son will, we are informed, visit Hancock
tonight and return here tomorrow after
noon. She will meet the ladies of Morris
at the Congregational church Immediately
on the arrival of the train, where an effort
will be made to establish branch of the
Women's Christian Temperance Union at
this place. A second lecture will be given
in the evening at O'clock
FAIR AND FEsTIvAL.-The ladies of the
Methodist society have arranged for fair
and festival, to be held in their new church,
on Eighth street, ON Tuesday evening of
next week. Extensive preparations are
being made to insure pleasant evening,
and as the ladies have always made graft
flying successes of previous undertakings,
we are warranted in the assertion that they
will provide both literally and handsomely
for the entertainment of their guests
Among the attractions will be an elaborate
ly wrought bed quilt, the handi -work of
piic. L. W 1sOhuC. Ills HuilL COuIdluS
the names of all who subscribed towards
it, the names and initials being worked in
with needle and thread; it is an elegant
piece of needle work and well worth ex-
aiming. Of course the tables arc to be,
as they always have been, generously
spread and supplied with Strawberries, ice-
cream, cake, fruits and other scasonable
delicacies. A cordial invitation is extend
ed to all to be present, and as the object is
II worthy one there will undoubtedly be
large attendance.
SHooT.-On Friday evening last our To-
cal sportsmen organized a match, selected
teams and bad shoot at wild balls on the
grounds near the race track The sides
were evenly matched as the appending
scores will show, but owing to the lateness
Of the hour, darkness prevented the whole
number, ten balls, being shota Some of
