Married, at Richmond, ILL.,, June Sd
by the Rev. Mr.. Frazer, of the Congrega-
tional church, Mr.. John G. Nethercut
3 and Miss Sarah r. SHIRLEY. Mr.. Neither
, cut is editor and proprietor of the Rich
mond Gazette. The wedding was pleas
ant one. About sixty or seventy guests
were present, and enjoyed the occasion.
The presents were numerous, useful and
beautiful. Their many friends wish
them much happiness in their new re-
lation. Miss Cynthia Mcclellan, a
cousin of the bride, and Miss Lizzie
!, Stanbridge, of this city, were among the
guests.
i While Mr.. Charles Kohler, of Randall,
was at Grant & Sons lumber yard last
Friday, his team of colts took fright and
ran away4> They had three or four large
sticks of timber on the wagon, and col
lided with sewing machine wagon be-
longing to Mr.. Yeoman, of Waukegan,
which was standing at the Northwestern
Wire Mattress Company's factory, badly
damaging it and smashing two sewing
machines. A young man named Ferry
who was in the wagon narrowly escaped
being killed.
The residence of Mr. W. s. Seymour,
known as the Tetard house, on West
street, in this city, was entered by burg
lars on Monday night last. The people
| were all out in the afternoon, and it is
supposed that the burglars came in dur
ing that time, as the doors have the APP
pearance of being opened on the inside,
and that they waited in some concealed
place until some time in the night
They succeeded in purloining nineteen
dollars in money and gold watch for
which Mr.. Seymour paid $119. No clue
to the burglars has yet been obtained.
The following extract from letter re-
ceived from Mr.. Charles A. Bullamore,
formerly of this county, who is now re-
siding at Buffalo, Dakota, will be of in
terest to those who have friends in that
section:
Everything is looking very nice at
the present time. Wheat 10 inches high
and promises fine crop. Had beau
tiful spring and so far delightful summer,
with just rain enough to keep the grain |
growing nicely; Gardens are up nice
and doing well. There is quite an
amount of stock raised in Dakota now,
and will be more in the future, I think,
as it seems such good business"
We regret to learn that Miss Eldridge, |
the able and efficient first assistant in |
the High School of this city, declines to
make re-engagement for the next year
The close confinement which her duties |
have imposed for several years have SO
far impaired her strength that she feels
the necessity OF rest for period at least
in her old home. Miss Eldridge has
been distinguished during her stay for
her conscientious devotion to her pro-
fession, her exact scholarship in the
studies she has charge of, and for the
remarkable power she possesses in in
spring her scholars with the love of
study She will bear with her the best
wishes of the many friends whom she
has made in this community, and they
hope that with recruited health she will
by and by return to them.
A quiet wedding took place on Wed
nesday, the 10th inst, at st. James
church, the contracting parties being
Mr.. James Bennett, promising young
merchant of Kansasville, Racine county,
and Miss Maggie Mathews, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. Mathews, of this city.
Miss Katie Kelaugher acted as brides
maid, and Mr.. A. Bennett, brother of
the groom, as best man. The bride was
richly dressed in handsome brown silk,
and all who know her know how little
need be added to her many personal
charms to make her all that might be
called a lovely bride. After bountiful
repast at the residence of the brides
parents, the happy couple took the
evening train for wedding trip. The
many friends of the bride in this city
and vicinity wish them every joy their
new life may bring.
Mr.. Theodore Mazanti, one of our
citizens, deserves no little credit for the |
manner in which he has worked up a |
criminal case and brought the guilty |
party to speedy justice. A fellow who |
is q newspaper agent on the railway |
between Chicago and Milwaukee under
took to swindle passenger who is
Dane and new conner to this country. |
He came up to the passenger and left |
book in his seat in the usual way and |
passed on. Then the same fellow came |
around with fruit and nic-nacs. The |
passenger took ten cents worth, and
gave dollar to the peddler He then
took up the book he had left, and, not
withstanding the passengers refusal to
pay him fifty cents for it, threw the book
on his lap and left with the dollar, giving
the passenger to understand he would
soon return and give the change. He
departed and did not show up again un-
til they reached KenOsha station. The
young man went for the swindler, and
still he refused to return the money.
During the performance, and as the
train was pulling out, the passenger was
forced off the train and left at the mercy
of whom he ight find to befriend him.
He happened to know Mr.. Mazanti, and
went Immediately to him, and the latter,
with true spirit of patriotism and feel
ing for his fellow-countryman, immedi-
ately instituted an investigation, and
succeeded in bringing the culprit to bay.
He solicited the service of officer Har-
kins, and requested him to go to the
train and let the fellow go if he returned
the money taken. This programme was
pursued. and when seen at the train on
Sunday, he made an elaborate apology,
but did not return the money, though
he promised to do SO on his way back
on the two o'clock train. On Monday
morning, Mr.. Mazanti took time by the
forelock and secured warrant for him
