was committed. A darkey had been
to party, and returned home v ith his
wife about 8 O'Clock A. II. He told his
wife to fix up the fire while went out
t. get something to warm up on"
He went out, and in the alley police
man in citizens clothes called on him
to stop. The man kept on, when the
officer called again and fred, killing
him. The officer was not held respon-
sible and was permitted to go unpun-
ished. Who knows whether the dar-
key heard him call: Or who would
have halted? 1t might have been a
robber that was calling for all he
knew. Nearly every day we read of
some one being killed, robbed or foully
dealt with; but the above tragedies
have caused an excitement which is
yet unabated.
: New Years day was duly celebrated
on Monday; many of the ladies kept
open house, and the streets were alive
up to the small hours of the Sd.
Church fairs are common, and usual
ly successful. Mr. O'Connor, the Irish
wi. p. and agitator, visited US and set
the wrongs of Ireland SO plainly before
the citizens that, at the collection.
'ceariy $4,000 was raised for ireland.
The Merchants Exchange was crowd
ed to overlooking, and many could not
gain admittance. At the Catholic fair
a fine pipe was voted for, to be given
to.Parnel in jail. The contest was be-
tween the two Land Leagues, and,
after very spititei contest, it resulted
in victory for the League of West
Kansas City. DR.. Hennessy was dep
ulized to present it to Mr.. O'Connor,
who In turn is to present it to Mr.. Par
nell. That worthy gentleman will no
doubt have many happy hour with
it.
The Guiteau trial causes considera-
bic comment, and great diversity of
opinion exists as to what the verdict
will be.
Smallpox is in the neigh borhood,
and fears are entertained that the city
will be visited. At present, however,
no cases are reported within the city
limits.
! The, ,pany friends of DR.. Hennessy
"a ils 0ss % sl,ppy q, iIear os his or .spsrfty
and present good health. He has thus
far been able, we think, to successfully
meet the foe, or rather the army of fe-
male admirers, who have come before
him. But his lady friends Of the Val
ley had better have care, or some day
they will hear that their prize has
f1Jwn (if it is posi- ble for two hundr red
and some odd pounds to fly, and en-
tered that partn> rship which admits of
no dissolving. 1t is we'll known fact
that the girls of Kansas City possess
the beauty of the Chicago girls without
their big feet, and not even DR.. II. can
resist for all time their winsome man.
Ders; as a consequence the matrimonial
market is very brisk. DR.. H. is fire.

as all know, is envied by many, and
the witer has been told, by one of the
fairer sex, that he is the finest singer
In the choir. 'Tis also said that he
carries gum-drops (not chewing gum)
in his Goa t-tail pockets, and that the
objects of his favor are not children,
but young ladies. From all appear
ances he is "gently gliding down the
to matrimony.
The writer is happy to see from the
the Improvements going on
IN Ironton, and WAS sorry he could not
be prese t at the opening ball of the
of Music. Bachelor life,
however, agrees with him, and since
be has given up al! hope of ever wiz
ming bride, he has increased in
weight: proving that bachelor life is
the life. Married men have no right
10 speak on this subject. Still, the ed
tor of the REGISTER must be congrat-
ulated on the choice he made years
ago. and that the REGISTER Is what it
g. It is a model paper, and every
is long one it the REGIS
TER is delayed till Friday. We there
ore wish it and all friends happy and
prosperous New Year.
Yours, &C., Non INCoGNITo.
