CENTERvILLE.

George Doersch formerly of Meme,
sold his blacksmith shop in CenterviIle,
and is going north west.
AT the late ball in st. Wendell minor
ity of the boys had scrimmage. A
revolver was drawn two or three times,
but luckily no shot was fred for several
others were ready for the sanguinary
work.
W. O. Dumke's school in the Saxon
settlement closed the 21st inst.
There is more arrogance and humbug
at some of our local balls than there is
in Barnum's circus. The bully is always
well represented and never fails to make
his presence as odious and provoking as
circumstances allow.
The other day the forests echoed and
organ grinder. A young, healthy man
who resorts to organ grinding for a
LIVELIHOOD ought to be compelled to
make his tour through the country with
out reward for his labors.
The CentervilIe school under the
management of Henry Deters of Two
Rivers, will close in another week.
The 10Th of this month witnessed the
marriage of Mr.. Ferdinand Strupp,
formerly of Centerville, but now of Black
Greek Falls, Marathon county, to Miss
Mary Kestly, daughter of the chairman.
Mr.. Strupp is school teacher and holds
several minor Offices, while his bride is
one of the charming young ladies whose
manners command attention and respect.
AS usual, the charivari crowd appeared,
and on advice of Mr.. Kestly went to the
nearest saloon and drank freely, at his
expense. Three or four young fellows
had setto in which, it is alleged, one
drew his knife and quite dangerously
stabbed one of his opponents and then
skipped the country. One other was
brought before Justice Albers and his
father had to pay the neat sum of SIT
for his ransom. Thus it is that these
vile mock serenades generally end.
Oscar F. HUM is home from the
Oshkosh Normal school.
For sewing machines and organs go to
Lehmkuhl & Dicke's. They keep q
large variety of them constantly on hand
and are trying to please all their custom
ers.
BISHOP has managed to win the $1,000
from Mr.. Labouchere of London by his
success in mind reading. It will be
recollected that Labouchere offered to
put up $1,000 against Gl00 that Bishop
would be unable to give the number of
bank note known to the person whose
mind Bishop was to read. Labouchere
failed to come to time and it was deter
mined to proceed with the experiment.
A f5 note was given to DIR. Lancaster
but Bishop demurred. He found Lam
kester an unusually hard subject. Fin
ally a Colonel Stetham was chosen.
He was handed a e5 note and examined
its number. Bishop then blindfolded
himself, drew parallelogram on the
blackboard and touching Stetham the
holder of tie note, proceeded to read his
mind. During the operation he trembled
violently but proceeded to chalk down
66894 When he came to the last figure
he hesitated, grasped Stetham's hand
and few seconds after wrote4 Stetham
on being questioned afterward acknoWl
edged that he momentarily forgot what
the last figure of the number was and
that Bishops hesitation occurred at the
very time he was In doubt whether or
was the proper figure. When he de-
cided for Bishop instantly wrote that
figure. This is the same Bishop who
gave an exhibition in the Presbyterian
church il this city few years ago,
