The young ladies of the NJ. E. church
gave an oyster supper. with ice cream
appended, at the Grand Army Hall, on
Tuesday evening. 1t was a great sue
cess socially and financially. All in

instrumental music. The receipts were
about $50.
The business of the Worthington
Post Office during the month of Janu-
ary, 1889, was the heaviest of any

Our predecessor in the ADVANCE,
A. P. Miller, Esq, made Minneapolis a
visit last week. Part of his errand was
to transact business with Capt. Grina-
ger, whose death occurred day or two
after his arrival. Another illustration
of life's disappointments and uncer-
tainties. Mr.. Miller is still under the
spell of certain attractive opportuni-
ties for investment in that city. When
he has rambled abont 8 while for re-
crea tion, we are inclined to prcphesy
that he will make some point in Min
nesota the scene of his next twenty
five years of toll.

There was a narrow escape, last Sat.

Of the Mitchell Brothers, from a serious
conflagration. A new, large and ele.
giant lamp had just been put in place
and filled. On putting the match to
the lamp it was not observed that the
oil had overrun the sides of the lamp
filling the cup set underneath to catch
any dripping or overflow. The result
was a startling illumination, as full of
danger as it was of fiery splendor. One
of the proprietors caught up quilt
constructed by the ladies of the Episco..
pal Church for benevolent uses, and
threw it over the blazing lamp, and
smothering the fame. This was not
exactly the mission for which the quilt
was designed. but it was saving one,
all the same, We congratulate our en-.
terprising friends on their escape from
