Joseph Mclaughlin, two miles north
Of town, reports the loss Of 100 fine
shoats and eight or ten large fat hogs
with cholera within short time. Ills
InCighbOrs estimate the loss ut no less

The fire department Of Atlantic passed
through Audubon Monday afternoon,
en- route to Clinton, where they attend
the state tournament. They only con
cludcd to go on Monday morning when
Il subscription paper was circulated to
raise funds to defray their expenses,
and in less than an hour raised $3.50.
They were accompanied by Stones
Cow Boy Band, which favored our city
with some excellent selections. The
companies go by way Of the old and
reliable North Western railway.
Mr.. Walter r. Scott is rapidly recov-
cring from his recent illness. He takes
u little exercise daily, and Is gaining
strength accordingly. The family
moved on Thursday last from the Frick
property on Church street to James
Davis house on Leroy street, and
caused the patient little Inconvenience
or discomfort. His recovery appears
miraculous and may be attributed to
his own indomitable will, the skillful
attendance Of DIR. Denote, and watch
full care of relatives and friends.

quarters as present TO his old home,
where it will prove useful as well as
ornamental.

occupy the greater portion of the sec

Children's day was observed last Sab
bath by the NJ. Il. and Presbyterian
churches in Audubon, and the entire
day was devoted to the children as
day of concert exercises. service of song
and floral offerings by them, and short
address by the pastor to them thus
making it day OF JOY and profit to all.
Both chuches were beautifully decorat-
ed and large audiences were in attend
anCe both morning and evening to lis
ton to the children and iOin with them
in their becoming and beautiful service
Of praise. The setting apart of one
day in the year especially for the child
rem is certainly most wise and fitting
step on the part of our church authori-
ties and will certainly reap q rich re-
ward,
