The williams Dramatic COMPANY aeai
passed down the road last Sunday, boun
for Arkansas. They had originally intende
going down there the week after ieavin
here, but high water barred further progress
than Poplar Bluff, and they consequent
went up the road to Montgomery City. Ate
. week there the company returned to D.
Soto and gave two entertainments, Saturda,
afternoon and evening. Thence south.
/ The work at Marquand has not stopped, n
| has been stated, but is still going on in tn,
way Of sinking shafts. Plenty Of good hem
attic ore has been developed, but rs it con
tains more or less PHOSPHORUS, it is not de
sirable for the special brand OF iron the Com
pany is making just now at Pilot Knob. Fol
this reason the amount being raised is moi
large. In the future full advantage will
probably he taken of the extensive develop
ments made in the last few months.
Last saturday afternoon We were surpris'
ed-most pleasantly-by present of bas'
ket Of doughnuts, from the fair hands Of
Mrs. Kate Scoville, Doughnuts Of her OWL
making and baking, too; needless, therefore
1t il to asseverate that they were ne plus ultra
We ate them and enjoyed them, nor did they
develop any dispeptic symptoms in the donee
positive proof of their being all that dough
nuts should. Mrs. Kate, our best regards
but for goodness sake don't tell Frank we
told you so!
We learn that the estate Of G. W. Gibson,
who was killed at Arcadia on the 18th OF
January has been placed in the hands OF the
public administrator of this county. 1t ap-
pears, after all, that the deceased was not
the son of Judge Miller, of Lexington, KY,
and his identity has never been proven. The
only effects turned over to the administrator
were certificate of deposit in the De Soto
City Bank for five dollars, and = "keep sake"
The latter article consisted of the profile of a
child's hand cut in paper. On one side is
sewed or "tacked" q small plait Of light yell
low hair; on the reverse Is written, "Rosa' g
hand and hair"

Prof. Address will give four entertain
ments in the ACADEMY of Music, begin
ming next Monday evening. Here is what
the Netcs, Marshall county, Mo-, says OF
him: "Prof. Address gave exhibitions, at
Waterson's Hall, Wednesday and Thurs
day evenings of this week, to crowded au-
diences, who were highly pleased with the
entertainments. The Professor is re-
markedly fine ventriloquist and sleight-Of-
hand performer, while his educated birds
are really wonderful. No better show has
ever visited our city, and we hope he will
again favor us, at no distant day, with u
visit"
W. II. DeIano, Esq, at present employed
pany store in Crystal City, came down on the
Accommodation last Saturday evening. A
bridal party accompanied him as far rs De
Soto, In quest Of the proper officer to per-
form the marriage ceremony. The groom
was Frenchman, and could not speak q
word Of English. The bride could speak no
French. An interpreter was therefore
brought along, and was the medium for their
conversation as they sped over track and tie
to the place where the knot was tied-greatly
to the edification of the other passengers.
Whether the counting was done by mutual
proxy, our informant does not state, and
probably doesn't know.
Ed. Heffers aud Andrew Grosshoff, charg-
ed with petit larceny, were arrested by Con-
stable Patton on the Goth Of February, and
lodged in Jail. Their trial was continued
from time to time, until the morning of the
Sd inst, when a full hearing resulted in their
conviction. Heffers was committed in de-
fault of payment Of costs and fine amounting
to $42.65. Grosshoff's fine of $40 was reduc-
ed to -, owing to ameliorating circumstances,
making his mulcture amount to $27 So, which
he paid and was released. The offence con-
sisted of stealing n shotgun from the dwell
ing Of Henry Ellsman, of Pilot Knob. A
third party-said to be the principal in the
arair-Otto Heffers, slid out before he could
be apprehended, and we presume is still
sliding. May he slide on.
Elsewhere we publish note Of complaint
against a gentleman in this community, by
whom we have stood, through thick and
thin, for many a day; but in this instance he
will have to stand up for himself. There are
lengths to which we may not 60, even to
serve q friend of twenty five years. standing.
Neither will the editor ''express his mind
about it," even at the requesrof SO justly in
censed correspondent; he has too many
kind remembrances Of consistently friendly
past, to immediately, and upon a sudden, as
il were, lay the cudgel on the delinauent's
back as the case seems to call for. We SIM
ply let go all hold, and leave Judge Emerson
to defend himself,-if defense is possible.
