| Mr. Emmett Hinchey has finished another
oil painting of De Soto. The view is taken
| from the hill on the east side of the city,
the picture Is well done, and shows Mr.. Hin
chey's artistic taste. The shops and many
of the prominent buildings show to good
advantage. The shades and harmony of
colors are good. The picture can be seen in
MIR. Serrin's show case.-De Soto Tribune.
A paragraph in last weeks Ironton REG
lister stated that Rev. Wilbur +. Wilson of
Pennington had been offered and would
probably accept the Presidency of Bellevue
Collegiate Institute. Later information is
to the effect that Rev. Mr.. Emory, who was
appointed to the position having resigned,
the place was rendered to and accepted by
Prof. Wood, who had formerly been con-
nected with the Institute.-B0nne Ierre
Register.
The picnic and barbecue at Sabula on Sat-
urday last was well attended and proved
highly successful affair. The arrangements
and in great abundance and all passed off
in the best of order. The only unfortunate
circumstance to mar the pleasures of the day
was the falling of the "Flying Dutchman,"
wherein daughter of Mr.. Jacob Sutton re-
ceived very painful but, happily, not seri-
Gus injury. The young lady was unconscious
for some time but, before the day was over,
had sufficiently recovered to be able to re-
turn to her home.
Prosecuting Attorney Jordan had couple
of assault cases to try last Thursday. One
from Graniteville where couple of women
had had a little trouble one of the enraged
females giving the other lick on the head
with billet. The party so handy with the
club paid SIS for the assault. The other case
was brought at the instance of II. Nemnich,
the Pilot Knob baker, who had been inyoly-
ed in little alteration at Aiddlebrook with
a Young man by the name of Joos. In the
at y. The defendant was found guilty and
paid the fine and costs.
The Pacific Express Company has notified |
the agent in this place, Mr.. Adams, that,
after the list of August, they will no longer |
deliver packages and that they would have
to be called for at the office of their destna-
ton. We like to see people thrifty and |
careful, but we 'spise such hogs as at pres
ent control the Pacific Express Company.
The public will some day, in some manner
Or another, get an opportunity to even up
with this corporation for the long list of |
grievances when they have sustained and
patiently borne at its hands, and the Pacific
Express Company will come out of the melee
like the individual we so often hear of who
M onkeyed with the buzz-saw.
The following from last weeks Frederick
town Standard will be interesting to our
readers. 1.-The gentleman managing the ST.
Francois Mining Company'- interests in this
aud who has been at work sinking a
shaft on their land neaf the Einstcin mine,
has had an assay made of the quarts he has
taken from the shaft and tunnel. The
quartz assays S34 of gold and $24.7S of sill
yer to the ton. He has gone to depth of
twenty feet perpendicularly and thlrtytive

The property here referred 20, it will be re-
is just across the river from tha |
Einstein Mine and any extensive work I'm this |

Of the old mine to action. Let us hope at least,

ion which has. fQF some unaccountabe
reason, SO long been denied tAea.
We have no doubt but that our readers
are becoming sick and tired OF the chestnut
we so often inflict as the "Arcatlia House
rumor." We can assure our friends, though,
.Lst no one regrets more than we, that we
bays never been able to give them any
authentic ne~s - 70 the future of that prop
erty-if indeed il il 10 Ravs aEy future,
which, to say the least, at present apse44s
extremely doubtful. However we have just
heard a new report to the effect that the
Company have decided not to improve the
property, but have leased for a term of ten
,ears TO st. i4aqis party who will soon re-
model and repair the p,e++11Iaseg preparatory
