LOCAL BREVITIES.


The celebration of the 4th by the A. o. Z
w. at Iron Mountain, was big success, W
understand financially, and otherwise.
The ladies o: the NJ. E. Church, Ironton
will give Festival at the Academy Of Must

supper will be served from 6 to 10 O'Clock.

Our thanks are hereby returned to ou
friend Aug. Rieke, ESQ.,, for several bottle
of ,ceiss bier. 1t is excellent as medicine
for those troubled with fiatuIency, and il
withal a very pleasant drink. Gus. will keel
it on hand hereafter.
Two weeks ago we were presented with
cabbage-head (no witticisms brethren of tn,
pressD by Marshal Patton. Said cabbag,
weighed twelve pounds, and was hard, SOUND
and perfectly grown. (This may put the
aforesaid witticisms ont of question: Bro

We take pride in referring to the local
correspondence contained in the REGISTER
from week to week. From the West End
from Belleview, Iron Mountain, Des Arc,
Annapolis, Hogan. the Valley, etc., are read
able, newsy contributions. Yes, ace are
proud of our correspondents--proud that we
have their goodwill. We hope to retain it
and them.
w. r. Edgar, Esq, last Sunday received
his commission as Receiver of the Land Office,
and he took charge Monday. Mr.. E. will
not altogether abandon the practice of the
law, but will take cases before the Iron
county Circuit Court. His resignation of
the office of Prosecuting Attorney is in the
hands of the Governor, and will probably be
acted upon by the time this paper is printed.
j. B. Walker, ESQ.,, is the only applicant for
the vacancy, land will no doubt be appointed.
Joe, has our best wishes.
LATER.-Mr. Walker was appointed Tues
day, and is now Iron county's Prosecuting
Attorney, de fdcto and de jure.
Judge Emerson's usually benign counte-
nance now wears a lugubrious expression.
The firm of Emerson & Edgar" is no more
the junior member having assumed the
Receivership Of the U. S. Land Office. The
sold man" says he thinks he will now tough
it-out" alone, as he seems to feel discourage
ed at what he calls the "unfortunate fatali-
ty" which has befallen each of his law part
ners in succession. First Judge Pipkin went
to the Constitutional Convention, then to the
Circuit Bench. Next Essex went to the
State Senate, then to the head of the Land
Department of the St. L., L. NJ. & S. Ry. Co.,
and now lastly, Edgar steps from the law
office into the Receivership; and the lonely
Judge doesn't seem to understand why all
his boys should go astray so.

Paul's Church, (EpiscopaD, morning, after
noon and evening. The DR.. will discourse
upon the following themes: Morning, "THE
CHILD HEART; ;" afternoon, LESSONS FROM
THE Ark" evening, DOUBTS AND DOUBT
ERs." 1t is DIR. Foy's intention to hold in
Ironton, either in September or October,
s'Mission"-which is the Episcopal equiva-
lent of protracted meeting. In this work
he has the promise of assistance from one of
the best preachers in the Diocese. The Dr.'s
church here will without doubt be greatly
strengthened and the communicates encour-
aged by work of this character. Every
movement tending to increase the intellectual
and moral forces of q community, receives
our hearty appreciation.
The Fourth Of July celebrations in this
section were not as satisfactory as they would
have been IL the weather had been favorable.
In the forenoon every promise of an ail-day
rain was given, but about noon-when most
people had given over their intended pro-
gramme-the clouds became lighter, and the
afternoon was fair. The picnic at Hey
woods grove was almost q total failure, and
that at Russell's grove, while very pleasant
to those who attended, was greatly abridged.
In the morning the band boys, in their
wagon, visited Pilot Knob and Arcadia, and
the PKG. b. also turned out and gave
some of their best selections. AT night a
ball at the Academy of Music ended the
days festivities and disappointments. Ii the
weather had permitted, the gathering at
Heywood's grove would have been one OF
the largest for years, and the speakers
Messrs. Eshbaugh and Walker-wouid have
been greeted by thousands, instead Of the
hundred faithful who, despite all untoward
circumstances, came out to glorify the day
We celebrate.
