commencing at about nine o'clock, with tn,
wind from the west. Next morning tn,
weather-vanes whipped around to the north
and regular cooler came down from tn.
cline OF snow and ice. The THERMOMETERS
dropped to 81 degrees, and all nature took :
long, satisfying, cool breath of relief. Tn.
hot spell was busted.
The steam thresher passed through towr
on its way to Belleview yesterday morning
The engineer saluted the REGISTER offict
with toot, toot-toot, and Jos. II. Whitnah's
team, near by, not being used to town ways
broke wagon tongue in consequence

and I'll come to thee, my lad, }" but they gen.
orally make spirited squirt in the opposite
direction.

Mr.. John Blemel has just got back from
the City with fine lot of fresh fruits, etc.,
destined for the picnic tomorrow (Thurs-
day. evening. John also brought few
cans of fresh oysters, which he says was
merely to put taste in the boys mouths,
but within the next thirty days he will be
prepared to dish them out in any style and
in just two minutes time, or less, during the
oyster season. Among the refreshments in
the picnic ground will be found fine lot of
cigars, for the sale of which Mr.. Blemel has
special U. S. license.
The Rheinischer Frohsinn, of St. Louis,
will give grand Excursion to and Picnic at
Pilot Knob, on the 18th of September. The
cost of a round trip ticket from st. Louis
will be $3.50, and 1t is believed that, taking
advantage of this extremely low rate, over
twelve hundred people will come down on
that day. The mines will be lighted up I'M
til nine O'Clock A. NJ. for the benefit of those
who wish to explore them. Ample arrange
ments are being made by Messrs. VIM. Stef-
fens of Pilot Knob and Aug. Rieke Of Iron
ton, to take care of and entertain the excur-
sionists, who will arrive on a special train
in the night. Full particulars next week.
About one hundred and fifty men and boys
assembled at the Arcadia House last Thurs
day night to do honor to the principals in he
wedding ceremony which took place that
evening. As soon as the tie had been duly
andtruly perfected the calathumpians broke
loose, and, assisted by the two "pushers"
and the engine of the Accommodation, raised
a din that filled the whole Valley and shook
the surrounding hills to their firm bases
For half an hour they saluted the bride and
groom, and, then att the invitation of the
latter, came over to IrOnton, where j. Grand
homme, Esq, took big hand in the con-
Guiding ceremonies. AS a charivari 1t was
the biggist success we eyer heard of in all
our extended pilgrimage.
Last Friday afternoon Robbie, an infant
son of Gen. Turner, of ST. Louis, whose
family occupies one Of the Arcadia House
cottages, was severely scalded. The family
uses gasoline stove for cooking for the
children "between meals" and on this oc-
casion pan of broth was left on the stove
instant. The little boy, who is about eighteen
months old, went to the stove and pulled the
pan off, throwing its boiling contents on his
person. One leg and foot was badly scalded,
and he suffered severely, but, with the doc
tors assistance, the pain was at length as
suaged, and the little fellow is getting on all
right. The scars from the burns will stay
with him, however, for manv day.
The citizens of Belleview gave picnic in
the grove at the Masonic hall, last Friday.
1t was well attended, several of Ironton's
folk being present. The dinner was excellent,
and we are sure the "boys" who went from
here did ample Justice to it. They are not
Of the sort who are backward in coming for
ward on such occasions. A tournament, in
which good many young men took part,
was one of the features of the day. Mr.. Mat
kin, of Bismarck, carried off the cash prize
Of seven dollars. a game Of base ball had
been put on the programme, but the sad
death two days before of Mr.. NJ. Vale, who
was a member of the club, put that out of
the question. In fact it put damper upon
the whole day, and the picnic was not nearly
so largely attended as it would have been
under more favorable circumstances.
In our "Court Notes" mention is made of
the trial and conviction of Henry Wilkerson
and Chas. Finnegan for disturbing the peace.
These gentlemen are deniZens of Graniteville,
and at various times have been giving Suu-
day matinee's at that place, the diversion
being prize-f fighting, and themselves the
stars. Unfortunately for them, their eXhi-
billions were not appreciated by the better
class Of the community, and steps were TAX
en- to check them up in their "wild career"
But it was difficult matter for the consta-
BILE to get his hands on them, their friends
giving them notice Of the officers approach
in time to secure a safe retreat. At last,
however, the constable proved too smart for
them. Last Wednesday evening he struck
out through the woods to the vicinity Of
Graniteyille, and, having ascertained the
places where she prize-ighters were quar-
tered, he and his deputy lay quiet until the
gray of morning, when the captures were
made before the alarm could be given. We
hope this will put stop to the Sunday ex-
hibitions; If it does not, the delinquents may
rest assured the next trial and conviction
will result in much seyerer punishment.
