We met him on the street, he rush ed up
to US frantically, broad smile overspread
his countenance, his eyes sparkled with in
telligence and his whole manner indicated
that his inmost soul was bursting with
desire TO impart important information, as
he breathlessly exclaimed, g Is this hot e.?
He never finished the sentence, and the cor
oner as he gathered up the few mangled re-
mains, gloomily and sorrowfully remarked,
"Not enough TO set on"

The Criterion Spring Co. has received from
the photographer, proof of the new label
il has had designed for it's bottled water Ii
is very beautiful design and was procured
at cost of nearly 5000. We understand
that the waters are becoming very popular
and that orders for it are continually inoreas-
ing. The company will spare no trouble or
expense to introduce it to the public. A
man has been employed expressly to keep
the spring house open from $3.50 p. IN. TO
$3.50 p. M, so as to afford our citizens al Op-
portunity to partake of the water without
money and without price.
The celebration at Pugsley's Lake was a
grand success. The programme. as adger
tised, was substantially carried out. II was
estimated that full $500 people were III at
tendance. The walk between Mary Jones
and Charley Bakers horse attracted good
deal of attention and occasioned much mer-
riment. 1t was close contest but, owing to
the manner in which she ''hugged' the pole

new fence has been erected around the
Jail, making it impracticable for outsiders to
communicate with the inmates of that insti
tuition without the knowledge of the sheriff.
Some of our exchanges have been making
themselves exceedingly merry over the ease
and facility with which, according to their in
depreciation, prisoners can escape from the Jail.
The real facts of the care are that the jail IL
exceedingly strong and it is a very difficult
matter indeed for parties confined therein TO
get out without outside help, and no one has
ever escaped from the new part of the jail
without such help. Now that friends OF the
prisoners are fenced out, as they should have
been long since, there is little danger of a
''jail delivery"
The celebration at Four Mile Lake on
Monday last was very pleasant affair and
called out large concourse of people, many
more than the proprietor of that popu.af
resort expected to see. In consequence of
the great number seeking refreshments at
the Peninsular its resources were taxed quite
hnf
equal to the emergency and all their guests
we're entertained in fine style. DR.. Hunt
ing's theme was John Brown" and was very
interesting and entertaining Rides on the
lake, games, dancing, fireworks, etc., occu-
pied the time until late hour at night.
The railroad did a thriving business, but
transported all who desired and did it in
good shape. AS place of popular resort,
Four Mile Lake is becoming widely and ia
vorably known.
The 'song service" at the Disciple Church
last Sunday evening was very pleasant af-
fair indeed and was enjoyed by as many as
the capacious church would hold. All the
churches united in it. The chorus, consist
ing of about sixty voices, conducted by Prof.
Harrington, aided by the other members of
his troupe, did some very fine singing. Miss
Eta Hopping presided at the organ, and it is
needless to say that her part was well per-
formed. Such meetings are not only inter
esting, but very useful, and should be held
more frequently. There is no reason why
the singers of our town should not occasion
ally unite in just such service, as there is
no lack of capable conductors. We hope
to see the practice of union praise meetings
inaugurated and continued. Nothing would
have a stronger tendency to promote the
good of church work in our village.
The musical convention recently held in
our village by Prof Harrington and his corps
of able assistants was decided success and
can but prove of great advantage to the cul-
ture of vocal music in our village. The class
consisted of more than fifty pupils and in
struction was given not only in the elements
of music but to the more advanced students.
Both Mr.. Harrington and Mr.. Munsell are
thorough and competent instructors and
pleasant gentlemen. Miss Davenport is a
wonderfully fine soprano, and an intelligent,
refined lady. OF Miss Hopping as an alto
singer and an organist il is useless TO make
any remarks. She is so well known to all our
people that any words of commendation
would be entirely superfluous. The conven-
ton was closed with grand concert on Tues
