two sons, Messrs. G. and F. Bobsin.
Rev. E. j. A. Hoyer, of Van Dyn,
Wisconsin, accompanied by his daugh-
ter, arrived in the city last Sunday
morning. The reverend gentleman is
the father of Rev. @. Hoyer and sue
ceeds Rev. Henry Dagefoerde, who has

Mrs. j. Stoekert was surprised by
serenade, tended her by the New Ulm
CityBand on Monday evening, the oc-
cassion being her birthday.
A telegraphic despatch notified Mrs.

her daughter, Mrs. Hanke, at St. Paul,

parted for st. Paul on Monday.
The second number of the Western
Tree Planter, a monthly journal devot-
ed to the comparatively neglected field
of arboriculture, has come to hand.
The journal, which will prove interest
ing to all tree plante rs,is published at
St. Paul.
Some reckless and mischievous boys
made use of the otherwise harmless
jack o-lantern to scare old Mrs. Buder,
who lives in the lower first ward. The
old lady was frightened considerably,
and has ever since been affected by
spells of cramps. The youngsters
should be severely censured for their
conduct and prevented from such fur.
ther doings.
Rev. Alexander Berghold, who, as
we are sorry to report, has of late ex-
perienced renewed trouble on account
of an unwell leg, found it necessary to
seek another climate for the winter,
and departed yesterday. The reverend
gentleman will visit Europe, Africa and
the Holy Land and we trust that after
this tour, interesting as well as benef-
cial for his health, we may see Rev.
Berghold again in our midst.
j. j. Reilly, who had ever since last
Spring hung around the city and especi-
ally its saloons, and who had several
weeks ago been committed to the jail,
on a charge of drunkenness, was exam
ined last Friday before the Judge of
Probate aud pronounced to be fit
subject for the inebriate asylum. He
was therefore sent from the hospital,
where he had lately been taken, to the
asylum at Rochester.
Once more the wheel has turned, and
we again leave behind the anniversary
of the Indian outbreak. 1t was not OBJ
served in this city last Saturday week
ago, but a party of New Ulm hunters,
to be out on the prairie south
west of Springfield on the 18th of Aug
ust, observed a lone tree by the road
side, and recognized the burial place OF
some. who were massacred in 1862.
For a brief moment they recalled the
dreary days and paid silent homage to
the dead who slept here miles away
from human habltatlOnS.
w. j. Current. of Home township,
was the recipient of an odd christmas
present two years ago, receiving from
q friend in Henry county, Ind, an OPP
possum. He kept the same as pet,
but in the spring of last year the ami
NAL broke its fastenings and made good
it's escape. Last November an oppos-
sum was killed by a hunter at Lake
Ltasca. Now the question is, was Cur
rents oppossum the one killed at the
lake? Since there are no such animals
wild in this state, we may presume it
was.
Captain Jacob Nix, our old friend
has been appointed General Agitator
for the Turner Mutual Insurance Asso-.
citation Of the Northwest, which has the
seat of the directory in Milwaukee. Mr..
