DIR. John Rabe, of Oakland, CAL, was
in the city last week. Our old friend
brings a good report of California. He
has purchased home in Oakland worth
five or six thousand, and his dental bust
ness is f1ourishing, as it ought to be with
a good dentist like himself. He has three
children. We saw beautiful photograph
of his home. the magnolia, pepper and
almond trees about his door over and 20
varieties Of roses twining and clustering
| in their beauty and fragrance on lattice
and porch, until we fancied it must indeed
seem like one of the bowers Of Eden.
And we almost longed ourselves for a
home in that sunny land, where summer
lasts all the year.

Last Saturday, James Barry of Full
da, left new violin in the care of the
station agent at Ramsey. A few minutes
after, a gentleman stepped in hastily, and
with great assurance, said he would take
his violin. The agent, without rejecting
that this might not be the rightful owner,
passed the violin over to him. Not long
after, Mr. Barry appeared on the spot,
and the next thing to be done was to find
the thief. kilograms were sent to sew
eral points, and soon Marshal Riley, hav-
ing seen man coming into Austin with
a violin under his arm, had him under ar
rest. Monday he was brought before Esq
Griffith, plead guilty, was fined $50, or 80
days in Jail. In default of payment, he
was committed. He gave his name as
"Pat Devine," but then names are some
times deceiving.
DEATH FROM ALCoHoL1sM.-We re-
instance of the fatal effects of the drink
custom. Last Wednesday evening, at
half-past nine o'clock, Peter Zeller, a res
ident of Austin for the past fifteen
years, died suddenly at his home on Main
street. The immediate cause of his death
was heart disease, undoubtedly induced
and finally consummated by the excessive
use of alcoholic drinks. Mr.. Zeller was
formerly a merchant tailor in Austin, and
held in high repute as workman. lie
was kind-hearted man and a good citi-
zen, and but for this unfortunate habit
might have been living to-day, an honor
ableland usefullife. Mr.. Zeller was 30 years
of age, and has only one known relative
living, his son who when last heard from
was at Hot Springs, Arkansas. Rev.
Lathrep attended the funeral services.
"A letter from Mrs. j. L. Clark, of
Chicago, dated Oct. 18th, informs US of
the death by consumption of her last
daughter, Fannie NJ. Clark, in the TWEEN
tieth year of her age. Fannie was born
in Austin, and many friends of herself and
family will sorrow to learn of her early
death. She was buried, by her own re-
quest, at Geneva Lake, Wisconsin, where
she spent part of last summer. We
clip the following from slip sent in the
letter Miss Fannie died calmly trusting
in that Redeemer to whom believing pa
rents had consecrated her. Her funeral
was attended at the Episcopal Church,
A0hV NVASVO, " 49, Auu uCA 1CultluS WcIt
buried in the new cemetery in that place,
in sight of the beautiful lake, on the
banks of which she had spent so many
happy days. When she last came to
Geneva Lake, the glory of July was upon
lake and forest. Nature was triumphant
and joyous. But she, how changed
Pale, feeble and wasted, she slowly as
cended the sunny bank flecked with shad-
ows. Yet she never seemed so lovely as
in her decay. The sweetness of Christian
patience, the radiance of Christian hope
threw halo above her. She was clothed
with the pathetic sanctity of those whom,
in the bloom of youth, death has marked
for his own. With full realization of
her condition she was calm, uncomplain-
ing, happy, and to her there seemed to be
nothing dreadful in death, yet life was
sweet and friends were dear.
