I asst Thursday at about noon Mrs
G. Achtenberg. living on 9th street, Isl
ward, was Frustrated with sun'stroke
while making hay near her residence
She was so overcome as to render it neces-
sarv to carry her home. Although still
suffering from the effects Of the stroke
her final recovery is deemed probable.
We are duly appraised that w. w.
Coles circus, combining nine new shows
consolidated, and organized on magifi-
cent scale for the season 1882, will posi-
lively appear in this city at IN early date.
Among the attractions of Coles colossal
shows is the mammoth elephant "Sam-
son." the largest Asiatic elephant ever
captured.
The Theodore Thomas Concerts still
hold sway in the Exposition Building,
Milwaukee, and will continue during the
week, the last entertainment to be given
on Saturday evening. The management
is not satisfied with the patronage the
concerts have received thus far, falling
considerably short of what was expected.
Of course nothing can be heard IN the
musical line anywhere that is superior
to the Thomas Orchestra.
The Fourth of July is still to come
yet accidents all over the country are al
ready reported from the fatal toy pistol.
One morning last week son of Mr..
Reimann, of Racine, died of lock7jaw
the result of the bursting of toy pistol
two weeks before, the charge taking eff
feet in the lads hands, and tearing the
flesh somewhat. The boy is said to have
suffered untold agony before death re-
lieved him. We hope this will be warn
ing both to Watertown boys and dealers
in toy pistols If there are any here.

the company for damages in not stop
ping for him to alight, he might have col

hold the railroad responsible for broken
legs caused by the passengers own act.
