We are requested by Mr.. Geo.
j. Anderson to say that the part in
"The Octoroon," to which Mr.. II. j.
Parr was cast, and which he will be
unable to take on account OF sick
ness, has been provided for, so that
the cast is still complete and COM
bines the best talent of the city.
j. l.. Lewis, the Singer Sewing
Machine agent, has moved his head
quarters to A j. Arnold's jewelry
store, one door south of the old
stand, where he will be glad to see

The "friskiness" OF the weather
this winter renders the newspaper
man who attempts to comment in a
general way on this subject ex-
tremely liable to the charge of being
ridiculously facetious or An unfaith-
full chronicler, especially if the COM
ment is made few hours in advance
of publication.
Loans will be made without
Price, insurance policies furnished
without Price, and all other business
of the Old reliable agency of Becher
& Price will be done without Price.
All of which means that Mr.. Becher
will manage the agency business
while Mr.. Price is engaged in the
lumber aud grain trade.

mentions the fact of a wedding post
poned in that vicinity on account of
a storm. Ii any one of the many old

take something more terrible than a
blizzard to induce a pOstpOnement.

1t is generally conceded by those
claiming wisdom in such matters,
that the winter is favorable for good !
crops next season. Well, we are
glad that some consolation can be
offered, and the condition that the
ground will be placed in from the
tha wing Of the snow, will, no doubt, |
conduce to a rich growth of vegeta-
ton.
- The programmes announcing
ing the "Octoroon" for Thursday
and Friday nights are out. This
will be an entertainment by home
talent under the direction and man
agement of Mr.. Geo. j. Anderson, of |
whom we have spoken before. We |
doubt not the entertainment will be |
4 good one, as our amateur talent |
by itself is way up in the dramatic
business.
The Kendall Comedy CJmbin-
alton filed an engagement of three
nights last week at the Opera House
in this city, commencing Thursday.
Their entertainment was greeted
each night with large audience,
Ihe last night witnessing the largest
house during their stay. This |
troupe combines the best talent in |
heir line that have ever visited the
city, and may be denominated Co.
umbns's favOrites.
To aid in making q report of
The amount of crime committed in |
The country and the disposition of

that they will promptly lend their
