fered no permanent injury.
1t is historical fact that towel was
made to serve flag of truce at the sur
render of Gen. Lees army. No, my son, it
was not printing office towel
Judge Clarkson's family was made happy
last Saturday by the advent of hearty,
bouncing boy. 1t gives us pleasure to. state
the mother is doing well, while the Judge is
not greatly frustrated nor unduly elevated.
Jos. \. Hughes, postmaster, we are happy
to state, is on his feet again. He seems des-
tined to disappoint the doctors-this being
about the tenth instance of his recovery from
sickness after his attendant physician had
''given him up"
A runaway Oh Main street last Saturday.
Although lady and baby were in the wag
on, and the mules ran at pretty brisk pace,
no damage was done. Cause: according to
our esteemed fellow citizen, q. s., Esq. TIA
d-n green Dutchman'' was in charge of the
team.
Elsewhere we publish an article elative to
to the st. Louis Ore and Steel Company. If
the petitioner gains permission to sell under
the mortgage, it will probably end in speedy
wiping out of Old scores, and the beginning
of new era. just ut this time we regret to
see Tatters pushed to a crisis, since it is evil
dent that the Company is doing well under
the receivership, and would in reasonable
time release itself from financial embarrass-
ment. Take away the Vulcan and other out
side clogs, and we know the Pilot Knob Mine
would enter on a prosperous career.
According to late paper, some parties at
or near Moberly, Mo-, have discovered
mense walls, rooms and halls, which must
have been built thousand of years ago. This,
we believe, to be a lie; but when we assure
you that ut j. n. Bishops you can buy Gro
Quet Sets from S1p0 UP, and more bric-a-
brac than can be found anywhere else in the
city, it is a solemn truth and can be substan-
tiated by a call at his store. "A proof of the
pudding is chawing the bag" Let them
bring on their city and they will find Bishop
on the corner just south of the court house,
where goods are marked down too low to
steal or lie about.
j. n. Bishop, Esq, is little tout" with
the city police. He claims that the marshal
docs not preserve order and peace at all times
and that person and property are not so Sc
cure as thev ought to be under the Constitu-
ton, the Bill of Rights, the Statutes, and the
Ordinances made in conformity thereto. For
example, last Thursday evening, while quiet
ly pursuing his way toward the post office,
and dreaming of no evil hap, he was assault
ed, stricken on the side of his head, and his
hat knocked into the gutter. The police, as
usual, was toasting his shins at Il comforta-
BILE fire indoors, and of course the offender
was not arrested. The incident occurred
near Blemel's Bakery, and Nobe, in the
event that the truth of this statement is
questioned, refers TO John as witness.
The following Grand and Petit Jurors
