pride the Judge carried for several days gave
one the impression that such an occurrence
was rarity.
The ladies of the NJ. E. Church gave a
festival last Friday evening for the benefit of
their pastor, Rev. Mr.. Neff. The evening
was a success socially as well as financially.
The net proceeds were $25.
To Messrs. Weltner & Muenchinger, bak-

couple of loaves of Vienna Bread, sent as "a

anywhere else.
Harry johnson, the Reynolds county safe
burglar, was taken to st. Louis for safer
keeping last week. A lynching by the peo-
ple he had robbed was feared, and greatly
to his own satisfaction, the prisoner was
taken to the metropolis and imprisoned
there.
A sleigh runaway occurred on Main street,
Monday. The horse started in the north END
of town while the driver was in store, and
ran down ne lrly to the courthouse before 1t
was stopped. 1t was the -quietest runaway
we ever knew, and nobody and nothing was
injured.
1t is said by the citizens of Bismarck that
local option does but little good there, as

let the people enforce it, as we'll with drug
stores as saloons.
A very serious accident occurred last
Wednesday afternoon to Mary Jenkins,
young girl of a, while out coasting. Not
knowing how to guide, she prevailed upon
one of the boys to take her down. About
half way the boy fell, and the sled with ter.
rifle force ran into a bridge, throwing the
girl forward, breaking her leg, besides hurt
ing her internally. She is now, we are told,
in quite a critical condition.
For ten DAYS the snow has remained, and
the sleighing has been splendid all the time.
The ice-houses have been filled with eight
inch ice, and winter is not yet over. The

for Its unusual severity. At this writing a
clear sky and warm sun give promise of
milder weather, but who knows? A bliz-

COlOred Society Notes.

"Jim" Who is he? Where hid he come
from? And where is he? "Jim" (James
French) is a ten year old tramp, who came
here several weeks ago from Potosi. Jim
says that his mother is dead and his father
is some where in st. Louis. Hence, he is no.
body's darling, and is thrown upon the cold
and uncharitable world to make out the
best that he can. Jim, am sorry to say,
has started the wrong way to make good
citizen of himself. Jim is now in the county
Jail. having been put In there, am inform-
ed, more a. a charitable act than any thing
else, for the greater part Of his time he has
been sleeping wherever he could find
shelter-in the sand house, and elsewhere.
The best thing that could be done for Jim
would be to send him to the House Of Ref
fuge. It's my opinion that he will not stay
at any place long at time, unless he is con-
fined.
Nelson Creath was considerably bruised
by horse kick, recently, but, as it was a
glancing lick, he is not seriously hurt.
Mrs. Brown, Dady Whitener, and Uncle
Jack Armstrong, are among the sick this
week.
Silas Vaughn has received two song books,
presented to the "Colored Glee Club" by
Judge Emerson. One of the books contains
jubilee songs, and the other, songs suited to
the knights of the burnt cork.
The festival given for the benefit of Rev.
Abanata on the 18th inst. was, both socially
and financially, success. The winter king
has full possession on ZiOn'S Hill; yet the
sanctuary is not wholly abandoned, espec-
tally by the young and fair.
There is considerable sickness reported
this week. Prominent among the invalids
are Mrs. Sweezie, Mrs. Brennan, George
Carter, Jas. Bishop and Jack Armstrong.

We cannot conscientiously do otherwise
than acknowledge that we were little prev.

sumo the attitude we presumed they would.
Mr.. "Wet," who referred to the ''Boom

Fires have been plentiful in the tunnel

was formerly furnished from the creek

The game between the Lambertville
club and the club calling themselves the
Atlantics, of Trenton. was played on the
Association Grounds, in this city, last
Thursday afternoon, aud was won by the
former. Hurley pitched a good game,
but was somewhat interfered with on ac-
count of the ball being wet. L. Thorne
caught him in good style. Callan having
sore finger played Sd base. s. Thorne
batted we'll; benson caught q nice line
hit in centre field; Schenck run the bases
good; Hurley made nice double play in
the ninth inning. The game was stopped
twice by rain, the ball aud grounds being
so wet that 1t was impossible to play
good ball. The managers Of the Lam.

no fault of theirs that the club from Tren-
ton was not the Atlantic B. B Club, las
they represented themselves to BEL, but
promise that no more second-clas clubs

Mr.. Geo. Prall Wilson, of Delaware
township, picked few baskets of peach
es on Monday, the 10th inst, of an extra
early variety. The fruit was not forced,
but regularly ripened to perfection. Mr..
Wilson has an eye to business and such
an early crop brings an extra price and
lengthens out the season of this delicious
fruit. The early and late varieties usu-
ally pay the grower best and the consum-
ers ought not to object, when the peach
season is extended from the middle of
July to the middle of October, and Mr..
Wilson is deserving of many thanks for
doing his part in this enterprise.

peaches shipped at California for New
