Morris, July Is, 1854.
H. f. Peters is rebuilding his old
Tivoll Garden building and will occu-
ply it as 6 butcher shop as soon rs it
can be made ready:
Hon. G.. F. Washburn senator from
this District, and u son of the late EX-
Gov. Wasburn, died at Portland Maine,
July 18th, aged IS years. Mr.. Wash
burn has suffered for many years
with inflamatory rheumatism and dur
ing the past years has been unable to
attend to his business affairs. IN the
death of senator Washburn this dis
trict loses an energetic representative.
We learn that Hon. H. w. Stone
has disposed Of his entire drove of
cattle that he took north about a
month since, to one firm at Devils
Lake. He reports money much
scarGsr iH the much doomed Dakota
than it is at home in stevens 90. La
kota is three or four years behind this
locality and will have to go through
the same experience before they will
learn that all wheat means bankruptcy
An effort is being made to raise
money to pay the fare, Of
Henry Foss from Portland, Oregon
to Morris. Many of our readers will
remember that Mr.. Foss left Stevens
Co. about year since for tue far west
in hopes of securing greater advan-
tages than were offered here. The
hope was delusive aud Mr.. Foss is
anxious to get back and spend the
rest of bis days in Stevens Co. 1t
isn't always safe to rely on the infor-
nation obtained from migration
phamphlets.
At a regular meeting of the stock
holders of the Stevens 60. Bank held
Tuesday evening Of last week there
was all election of officers held, the
old officers being REELECTED, viz: II. II.
Wells, President, l.. E. Pearce Vice
President and w. J. Munro Cashier.
The directors and stockholders present
inclu ling the above mentioned, were
r. P. Wells, of Herman and J. w.
Foss, Jordan Mimi. The affairs of
the Bank were found to be in a very
fourishing condition, the seasons
business showing large and satisfac-
tory gains,
The many patrons of II. B. Wolft's
double store will be pleased to learn
that he has adopted the plan of de-
livering all goods sold to the city
customers free of charge. A free de-
livery of goods is great convenience
especially to business men. Orders
may be left at the store and people
ordering will in short time find the
goods at home without any further
trouble or inconvenience on their
part. Mr.. Wolff has taken an impor-
tant step in the right direction; one
that will greatly benefit his city pa
irons and materially increase his al
ready large and fourishing business.
To those who could appreciate good
or high toned fun the concert given
last night by the Alleghanians was
the most enjoyable entertainment
ever given in Morris. The audience
was small but appreciative. Every
piece was heartily applauded and
most of them encored. Never before
has troupe of such a high order of
merit visited the town and it is q sad
reflection on the culture of the place
that entertainments of this class are
so poorly patronized, when a fourth
class theatre, q vulgar minstral show
or variety troupe, will draw a crowded
house at the same price of admission
1t is rumored that some Of the
treasurers of school districts in this
country have been using school money
in their private business, and are now
"shortn and unable to replace the
funds they have thus Illegally used.
This is the old story of embezzlement
AN urgent need of moncy-the pub
lie fund at hand-the temptation to
"borrow" Il Notwithstanding to re-
place-tIe discovery. IT is to be hoped
that ting rumoEs referred TO are untrue:
but it is quite probable that there will
be some Investigations by the Grand
jury this fail, unless, before that
august body convene<, it appears that
such action is unnecessary Oh their
part.
From all quarters of the west come
reports of prospects for a most bounti-
full harvest. In view Of which it will
be we'll for farmers to make up their
minds for low price for their crops.
We hope no one will feel hurt if we
take occasion right here to denounce
the practice many have of holding
their wheat in the fall till the price
suits them and allow the merchant
who has furnished them their supplies
| IT'LL after harvest" to wait. 1t is ill.,
furious to both parties for on All aver
age, wheat is higher right after harvest
than it is later. Thus the farmer loses
