PLAYING Cards for n Limb.

Col Wright, who had a regiment at Bull
Run and got a bullet into his leg there, went
to st. Luke's hospital several weeks ago To
have something done for the old wound,
which had at last become disabling. He was
advised that he must choose between nmputa-
ton and strong probability Of losing the
limb more slowly and painfully. There was
just enough doubt in the case to make i. a
proper one for the patient to decide for him
self, and he said that he would come to a
conclusion within three days. He disiked to
part with his leg, and yet he wished to get
rid Of the wound At the last hour Of the
third day, he was against apputat!op; but
Just then a fellow vesefan called on him and
strenuously urged him to submit to the
surgery.
STell you what I'll do,n said the colonel;
"rn play you three games Of euchre. II !
win two, the leg is mine, and I'll keep it on;
but If lose, then the leg.is yours, and Ill
let it be cut off WITHOUT adon
The leg was accordingly laid on the table,
while its owner played the best euchre he
knew to save it, and the friend as carefully
handled the cards to win the curious stake.
Each got a game, and then the third became
exciting Point by point it proceeded, until
the colonel had four and his opponent three.
Then the colonel took up a trump, got eu-
chred, and next day allowed the surgeons to
cut off the stake.-Chicago Journal

The county officers duly elected
by the people Al the last election,
have entered upon their duties with
the New Year. All are good men
and true, and we doubt not will
serve the people faithfully. MIR.
Stotts' election to the Office Of treas
urer after fourteen years service
in the various offices within the gift
of the county, is a mark Of apprecia-
ton seldom vouchsafed, as is also
the promotion OF Mr.. Rendleman
from deputy to the full emolumcnts
Of the Auditors office. Tshe public
is hard master, and servant may
labor never SO faithfully, yet fault
finders will whimsically prefer
charges Of negligence and inability.
Continued reelection is unmistaka-
BILE evidence Of extraordinary fitness
and efficiency. We hope they may
all prove as satisfactory to the people
as have their predecessors, and only
regret that the complement have
not the righteous political faith OF
Messrs. Mccain and Willcutt.

The Board of Supervisors con-
vened on Tuesday, T. J. Essington

who had the hardihood to make an
appearance through the wind and
snow Of Monday. Geo. Mccain

upon its routine business. Nothing

examination and approval of the
bonds Of new officials. There is a
promise of a lively days business for
them tomorrow, when the county
printing will be awarded, and other
matters Of equal interest will be
brought up for their consideration.
A scene OF perjury and fraud on the
part of applicants for the printing,
and an unjust award by the Board,
has been promised by truculent prog
nosticators, in such good faith, that
we fear they will be obliged to fill
the bill even il the enacting role has
to be perfor ned by the SAID prognos-
ticators. 4. report Of the Boards
proceedings will be published in

The doors Of the Wonder Store
were closed to customers yesterday
afternoon and the business transferred
to the hands of +. ]. Freeman,
assignee. The stock on hand is
valued at about So, 700, but as to the
credits and liabilities no information
has at this time been given to the
public. The failure is in a great
measure attributable to the light
trade in winter goods, for so much
stock as has been sold has passed at
a disastrously low figure. Mr..
Grafton and his son Frank are men
whom we very much regret to see
retiring from Audubon's business
circle and we hope that the embar-
rassment may prove only temporary.

A storm of snow and wind ragged
over Audubon county during Satur-
day, Sunday and Monday, causing
much suffering to stock that was
exposed to its ravages. Its only
saving quality was that it was not
intensely cold, and has again cleared
away and we are enjoying beautiful
winter weather. The snow was
drifted into fantastic shapes and
mammoth mounds, and individuals
are vying with each other in stating
the highth to which the beautiful
snow was heaped about their prcmis-
es. The business manager of this
paper takes the prize in this matter
but in consideration Of his reputation
we will not quote the figures he has
named. Farmers coming in from
the country have experienced great
difficulty in breaking the roads, and
some are not ret'eent in stating that
II was the heaviest snow ever
known in this section. The North.
western train from Carroll has not
at this writing, Wednesday after
noon, made an appearance, although
il was reported ms having left Man
ming about II o'clock. John Gray
has pulled the Rock Island to
Atlantic as usual but has ploughed
the drifts with a good deal Of diff.
iiculty. We shall be glad to hear
that the Northwestern train is not
submerged and dead on the track.
