lRw-When we say that there was
more rejoicing over the falling of the
mercury on Saturday morning, than
there was on Friday, over the 4th.
The weather had been intensely hot
during the week, for harvesting, but
the change brought about in the
early morning Of Saturday, was hailed
with great satisfaction. But we were
not altogether unmindful Of the 4th.
On some headers and wagons flags
were displayed during the day. At
night firing was heard at Gypsum
City, on the anvil Of the village black
smith. Mr.. Bates had q display of
fireworks, also Mr.. Chapman at the
mill, and J. w. Adams at his resi-
denee above town.
We could not attend the primary
on Saturday. and have not heard the
result, but assume that the few boys
who may have been there are for
John A. Martin. and can stand with
him on his platform on the enforce
ment Of the law,-thOugh like him
some Of them may be opposed to pro-
hi6itiOn as a principle.

Up to the beginning Of the present
century divorces were but few, and
about the middle Of this period they
began to increase alArmingly. In
the New England States daring the
year 1849 there were only "a d.
vorces the next year there were 129.
In 1854 the number reached 299,
and increased until in 1866 We find
436 divorces granted. During the
past fifteen years there has Eesn one
divorce to every fifteen marriages in
the state of Massachusetts, one to
every thlrtesn iR Vermont; one to
nine in Rhode Island, and one to less
than eight in Connecticut. In 1880
there were $40 divorces granted in
the state Of Maine. Population has
increased fifty per cent. divorces has
increased $50 per cent. Ohio, with
one divorce to every seven mar
riages, stand worst upon the list,
while Chicago grants one to every
twelve.

A Mr.. RIoUA, of Nevada, Mo. i.
objected to his sixteen-year-old
daughters slandestine buggy riding
with young Westfall of that place.
In defiance Of her fathers wishes
Miss Riqua met young WestfalI one
night last week, got into buggy
with him, and remained out until 3
o'clock In the morning. Her father
went in search Of his disobedient
daughter, and during his absence she
returned was informed by her moth
er that her father was very indig-
nant because of her disobedienoe,
and there would likely be trouble
over her recklessness. Her father
soon arrived, and started in pursuit
of the young man who had defied his
commands. He was soon overtaken,
when RiQua levelsd . shotgun at him
and fired. About one hundred shot
took effect in his face and neck and
one Of his shoulders. It is thought
that he will recover. This affair
will probably prevent any OF our
boys from moving to Southwest Mis-
souri,. 1t was q close call for West
fall.

of Mr.. Blaine while in Congress,
Gen. Hawley, of Connecticut, an
other Of his supporters, said: "Now,

large as a walnut fell in great guam

q number of chickens were killed.
The roof of James Aliens house was
damaged 80 badly by the hail stones
that the rain leaked through. The
rain was very severe after the hail.
