Ice BOUND.-When driving to town
last Monday morning, Mr.. John Oliver
found the Botna outside its banks and
running over the road east of the Wilde
bridge in Willow Lane, and the water
covered with seeming thin crust Of
ice. He was driving his team of sorrel
colts, but concluded to venture in and
if possible make the bridge. No trouble
was experienced until he came to where
the water was breast deep to the horses
and they were unable to break the ice
with their feet, when they refused to go
farther. They remained in this place
for nearly three quarters of an hour,
during which time Mr.. Jack OBrien
came from the opposite direction on
horse back, and with a long pole broke
TIE crust TO where Mr.. Oliver and his
team were ice-bound. The team was
thoroughly chilled, but We're driven
rapidly to this place, where they were
we'll cared for.

The business men are considering the

The business men are considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of petitioning for the re-
versal Of trains Oh the Rock Island
branch, that is running from Atlantic
in the morning. The upperm0st objec-
ton is that it would remove several es-
teemed families from our midst. AS a
business venture it would prove advant-
ageouS, as it would bring trade naturally
tributary to Audubon that now goes to
Atlantic. Farmers in the south part of
the county cannot trade here an hour
unless they remain over night. The
faces of many who would gladly trade
here regularly are seldom seen for this
very obvious reason. They transact
business with county officials by mail
and trade where railroad accommodate
tons take them. The preponderance
Of business advantage appears to be In
favor of the change. BY such reversal
the mail service would be greatly i'm
proved, as the Chicago mail and Des
Moines papers could be brought here at
about 9 or $50 o'clock in the morning.
Trainmastcr Lawrence, of Atlantic, is
agreeable to the change, and if really
desired it can be effected with little
trouble,

The Jefferson Souvenir referring to
the frequent substitution of the word
except for accept reminds us of the di-
lemma in which one of our young men
was recently placed by the error. The
gentleman had indited a note to a
young lady of short acquaintance, ask
ing the pleasure of her company to n
certain entertainment, and was not a
little mystiGed to receive missive in
reply wherein the young lady said she
gladly accepted the invitation. Imag-
inc the mental wrestling OF our friend
with that ambiguous note whether she
had INDUCED in satiricaI humor and
gladly excepted his invitation or
if in well meaning inadvertence his
company WAS accepted, were questions
with which the young man tussed from
noon till night fall until utter distrac,
ton seemed to threaten him. 4 mis-,
construction of the note was fatal, fol
either horn of the dilemma, if mis-
take, would reflect upon the intelligence
of his lady friend. He unfOlded his
trouble to an intimate friend who was
unable to make the desired discovery
At late hour he resolved upon heroic
treatment Of the case, went to fulfil the
engagement, and was received with O
cordiality that set all doubt at rest and
proved a good reward TO Il brave heart

1NrAL AnSIINENCE.

REv, JOSEPH Cook, in the North
American Review Tor September, writes:
"1f total abstinence from intoxicating
drinks were not wise policy for the indi.
vidual it would be impossible TO show
that prohibition OF the liquor traffic is II
wise policy for the State. The life in
surance societies, however, have demon
straied that the total abstainer has at least
third better chance for long life than
| the moderate drinker. The question as
to the advisability Of total abstinence IL
closed issue. 1t is no longer in debate
among enlightened men. For nearly hall
q century Lille assurance societies in Great
Britain, Australia, Canada, and the United
States have many OF them been accustomed
10 insure total abstainers IN one section
and moderate drinkers in another. The
result has been that Of bonus, premium
oil 10, 20, and sometimes 23 nnd 25 pei
cent has been paid 10 the iotal-absl inencS
class in contrast with the other. Recen,
laws in u majority Of the States of the Re-
public require that instruction in the Ia.
test inculcations OF science IN regard tC
temperance shall be gwen in the common
schools on penalty o! II withdrawal of th,
public funds All the approved Textbooks
for this instruction inculcate total abstin-
ence."
The MODERATE DRINKER, according
10 this, is the one especially interested tc
pray-"Rid me out of the hands of tn,
wicked, The poison which IL sold to him
according to Life assurance tables, u
likely to shorten his life one hird."
