paper the go-by for years in success
sion, it may be safely put down that
he is no good. However, such need
not congratulate themselves that
they have heard from us the last
time; their accounts win be put in
justice court and judgments entered
up as soon as possible. In this way
we hope to make it little uncom'
Portable for some.
Mr.. Gro. HEBRON, Of Mihlin,
who was IN the city Monday for the
purpose of attending tAe G. A. Il.
entertainment, met with quite a
painful accident 1t was after dark
when he embarked for the hall
where the festivities were being
held, and he mistook the stairway
leading up to DR.. Eastman's Office
for where he wanted to 60. Oppo-
site the landing of this stairway is
another leading TO the rear Of the
building, and it being dark Mr..
lIeferon could not see it 90 he
stepped off, falling TO the bottom.
He received an ugly gash on oEo
side of his head, which needed
stitching, by coming in contact -
he fell with projecting chimney
corner Bad as was the accident
Mr.. Heferon is doing nicely, and it
is hoped he will soon be in fully
recovered condition.
TnE entertainment and prominade
concert by the Geo. II. Legate post,
G. A. r., of this city on Monday, or
the last Of the old year, were highly
enjoyable holiday festivities. The
entertainment opened with neat
little address by comrade G. Spens-
ley who stated the object thereof,
together with a welcome and an
appreciation of the large turn out.
This was followed by an able and
pleasing address by Rev. b. Z.
Wheeler, presiding elder, of Platte
vile. Next came short and timely
speeches by Revs. Bond and Horton,
of this city, and Rev. Hardeastle, Of
Dodgsville. These were interspers-
ed with songs and the reading of a
poem by DR.. J. II. Vivian and a reci-
tation by Alf. Vivian. The supper
WAS next on the programme and
the grand rush was all the evi-
dencs necessary of the powerful ap-
petites of the crowd; but there was
plenty for all; thanks to the
generous doners of the city. Last
but not least of the evenings jolli-
fcation was the promenade concert
at the City Hall. This was also
largely attended, and the merry
walters tripped till night the gray
dawn Of the New Year.
WHAT seemed to interest the
greater portion of oar Populace on
New Years day, for while at least,
was the appearance Of a wild deer
within the city limits. The animal
was first seen in the western part Of
the city, in the vicinity Of J. NJ.
Smiths residence. II then took a
south easternly direction and got in
near the Irish Catholic church
thence due east down Fountain
street till about to the Jerusalem
pump, when it cut northward
through Harris livery barn yard,
across High street and through
Sims livery barn lot, and thence
north via the German Catholic
church; tbonce northeast until it
was beyond the city limits. The
animal was no doubt badly scared
aud bounded over any and all fences
within its line Of rambling. Many
of our citizens saw il in it's hurried
fight, and pronounce it grand
sight to ace it skipping along over
fences, etc, 90 gracefully and easily.
Gunners were soon out In search,
which some kept up till night and
renewed the Aext day We under
stand 1t has been tracked, tia
stated, into the Willow Springs
settlement. The time Of the deer's
appearance in this city was between
10 o'clock a. m. and noon. Whence
I a. same was bewilderiup. but Uer.
