LIQUOR CASES.
Decision in Favor Of the Village.

The Supreme Court has decided the
wholesale liquor case taken by Kauf-
man, of this city, from the Circuit Court,
against Kaufman and in favor of tho
village. This settles the law in Ohio
that every sale of liquor to a consumer,
no matter in what quantity, is retail
sale.
Tho prescription case remains without
decision on its merits, as the Court re-
fused Mr.. Morrow, for the village, leave
to file bill of exceptions. He will now
apply for leave to 1ile petition in error.

John A. Collins, Of Pueblo. At the table

conversation was the better half of truly
delicious home meals. We learned to
love this young couple, who loved each

separable. Their life was a continued
pleasure, and an evening in their rooms
reminded us more of "playing" than
keeping house. 1t was for the benefit OF
his health that they came to Colorado,
and while the husband improved in our
young State-the wife is dead. She was
beautiful, kind, indulgent, a perfect
type of the good, true Christian woman,
with all the graces given by gentle birth
and perfect training. The deceased was
one Of the sweetest characters we have
ever known, and mere words to her
credit seem like mockery. Our corres-
pondent asks that we forward a letter
of coincidence to the grief stricken hus-
band, who has taken all that remains of
a loving, talented and beautiful wife for
burial under her native sod. How can
we tell the sorrow we feel under such
circumstances? How cold and unfeeling
will come mere words from Colorado to
a broken-hearted man and husband in
Ohio. What is there to say but empty
words while the heart is heavy with a
dismal sadness, those words cannot
describe? He is Christian and we
hope the God of love will intercede and
soften the pain and suffering of to-day,
until memory of her pure life will
sweeten, rather than embitter, earthly
existence.
Handsome notices also appear in Dem
yer, Pueblo and other Colorado papers.

LEEsBURa, May 20, 'ss.
A very pleasant surprise was given
Rev. Joel T. Wright and wife Saturday
evening, the 26th.
According to previous arrangements,
the singing class composed OF a few young

In the afternoon Mr.. Jonathan Barrett
and daughter, of Marshall, brother of
Mrs. Wright came, but as she thought
on visit.
Night drew her curtains down and no
one else had come but Joseph H. Wright
and family. OF course this was thought
nothing of. as they belonged to the sing
ing class. About eight o'clock Mr.. and
Mrs. Wright were heard to say that
they thought the rest of the class had
decided not to come, all unconscious of
the great procession that was being
formed between the church and their
home ON one side, and the blacksmith
shop ON the other. The procession
proceeded slowfyodGp q the pike,
buggies and carriages were relieved of
their heavy burdens and two abreast,
with Hannah Barrett as leader, marched
into the house where Mr.. and Mrs.
Wright sat not thinking or dreaming
of such, . thing, and for some
time could not imagine what it meant.
The presents were placed on the table,
and short address by benson Barrett,
saying they had taken this way to show
Mr.. and Mrs. Wright how highly they
had appreciated their services in the
church at this place. After the presents
were presented response was made by
Mr.. Wright in . few words acknowledge
ing that for once In his life he was com.
pletely surprised. He intended to have
been about thirty miles from home that
night, but on account Of q funeral
was detained at home.
The rest Of the evening was spent in Q
social way. About eleven O'Clock, when
the tones Of the organ had ceased to re-
spond 70 the song, "God Be with Us till
We Meet Again." they all retired to
'thsif bones, feeling that the surprise
had bean grasd SUCCESS. The presents
were nnmatous ind valuable; and also
aity de'lAu b leasy ms psassptsd..
