We have never heard the Alba Haywood
Combination, advertised at Longwell's Opera
House on Friday and Saturday evenings of
this week, but have often heard of it,
Everywhere il has been it has elected favor
able comments from the press and we have
the best of reasons for believing that it's
members give a very interesting and in
structive entertainment
A slight error was made in our last weeks
notice of the marriage of Mr. Michael Felten
of Bonneville, Mo-, TO Miss Mary Brummell,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Brummell of
Waverly. The marriage was solemnized at
the Catholic Church in this place on We'd
nesday of last week. The happy couple will
take up their residence at Bonneville where
Mr. Felten is engaged in farming and where
the NoETHERNER will visit them each week,
bearing its best wishes for their happiness
and success.
One of our Lawrence friends dropped in
the other day To pay for his NoRTHERNER.
Said he, "If all would pay mp as prompt az
do, you would have more money, wouldn't
your We cheerfully acknowledged that he
was right. We didn't know his politics but,
as he went out, he said, Just make a note
that greenbacllers pay up the most promptly

they are all as prompt as you are, we are
perfectly willing to acknowledge that you
aSc about correct.
Last Monday was the Goth anniversary of
the marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Spicer.
Knowing this fact some forty or fifty of
their many friends made raid on them in
the early evening of that day, armed with
we'll filled baskets of provisions. The worthy
couple were taken completely by surprise and
made no resistance. The evening was
| passed most pleasantly, the company leaving
behind them an elegant set OF china ware, al
a reminder that the recipients had passed
the goth milestone in their joint journey Of
| life.

Charley Stevens ia afflicted with erysipelas
and at times his face looks red aud blotchy
He was trying to sell an overcoat 10 an old
gentleman who. noticing his face asked him
what was the matter! Charley, ready for a
joke, replied, 1.-The doctor says il IS only
black measles, but i think IL is the small
pox.' The old man broke for the door at a
2:40 gait and Charley after him, seizing
him by the coat tail The customer drew
back his fist and it was only by the livelest
kind of an explanation that Charley escaped
being knocked down. He won't tell the next
inquirer that he has contagious disease

Stevens, late cashier of the First National
Bank of Paw Paw, was arrested by Deputy
u. D. Marshal Whitbeck. From an inter
view with some of the bank officers. we learn
tnat the charges against Mr.. Stevens are en-
bezzlement, making false returns 10 the
department at Washington and making false
entries OH the books or the bank. Mr.
Stevens gave bail in the sum of $4,000, with
Mr.. w. j. Sellick as bondsman, and his ex-
animation was set down for Wednesday
December 1st, in this place, before the
United States commissioner. We wore fur
ther informed by officers of the bank that
the total shortage in Mr. Stevens accounts
with the bank was about $4,000, and that
after the settlements and compromises that
have been made the bank will lose about
$4,000.
