The children of the Methodist church as
sembled in the parlor of the church on
Thursday to meet their pastor, and a goodly
| number accepted his invitation. They had
a good time, as the Rev. Mr.. NJ. Clary re-
| membered that he was at one time just such
| as they are now. He gave them much sound
| advice, which it is hoped they will remember
| through coming years. There was an abuud-
| ance of refreshments, and afterwards decla-
nation and singing.
Those who suffered so much from the
cyclone couple of weeks ago are getting
things in shape again. Pat Whelan has his
barn fully repaired, and what grain he could
save housed. He has the frame of his house
up and they are pushing the work to compile
ton as rapidly as possible. The other par
ties in the same neighborhood who had their
barns and grain partly destroyed are at work
repairing the loss. All will be in good order
before cold weather comes.
The offices of the warden will in day or
two be removed to the old renewed offices,
where every thing is getting in apple pie
order. Architect Ridcliff who was over
couple of days ago, was pressing for larger
force of men so as to get the works finished
as rapidly as possible. The work is of the
very best, and when the state has to pay for
it, it should be so. When once well done
there will be no exper ses for repairs every
year or two, and is the cheapest in the end.
Aid. Chas. j. Burns, the newly elected
alderman in the Second ward, was on Thurs
day evening made the recipient Of big ova-

number of the voters, accompanied by the
saltwater brass band, proceeded to his resi-
dence, where they had good time. The
alderman invited them all in, and a choice
collation. was served. He made a speech,
which was heartily cheered The band
played number of lively airs, and all went
away highly pleased with the choice they had
made in electing Mr.. Burns as their repre-
sentative.
There was one drunk before Judge Nethe-
way yesterday. He is one Of the young
gamins, and most incorrigible one. This
was his second appearance, and he got $750
or eight days. He was locked In the cells.
Leniency is Of no use in his case, as he was
formerly let go, and he is back already. The
party who gave him liquor in the first in
stance had to pay a heavy fine, and no doubt
the one who gave it to him this time will be
similarly dealt with, and it will serve him
right. That boy will get those in trouble
who give him liquor, so they had better shut
down on him.
Yesterday goodlv number of the ladies
of the city met at the rooms of the Young
Mems Christian association. The meeting
was called by the ladies' auxiliary to take
into consideration the best means Of aiding
the association, as well as getting persons
interested in the work. The ladies decided
to defray the expenses of the literary depart
ment, for which purpose they invite the la
ules oA Tic CITY " pay " NIB 1ISdSj hDIdIidH;
the sum of fifty cents, which viii make them

aid in keeping the Young Mems Christian
association on an efficient footing.
