THE FASHION.
-McGivern has pledged himself to
raise the crossing on Prairie Avenue, near
the Congregational church. We pointed
out to him that the crossing was too low,
and that we did not like to think that
people were running their chances for i'm
mortal happiness by using profane Ian

MIR. John Osborn, of Park street,
came in just now and told us that a lovely
ight-blooming Cereus had opened at his
house last night. This plant belonging
to the cactus tribe is rare in northern re-
gionS but blooms wild in the South. The
stem and blow of this flower was fourteen
inches long, and the blow was nine inches
in diameter Mr.. Osborn says that over
fifty people came in last night to see the
flower. He has cordially invited us to

Frederick Erwin was before Justice
Slater on Tuesday charged with stealing
eleven dollars from John Maybe and a
suit of clothes from another man. They
boarded at the American House, and on
Saturday Erwin started out to fill up with
Bourbon whisky. His money gave out
before his thirst was satisfied. 1t needed
about twenty dollars more to finish his
drunk, so he purlolned the clothes and
the money of his fellow boarders. The
Justice could not appreciate the demands
of such thirst, and bound him over to
await the Circuit Court in September.
S-A big Olden-time wedding occurred
last Sunday afternoon at the Danish Luth-
eran church in this city, the happy couple
being Mr. Fred Jensen, of Truesdell,
Wis, and Miss Marie Thornsen, of this
city. Rev. p. HI. Miller performed the
ceremony. The participants gathered at
the house OF the grOOm'S parents in TrueS-
dell and formed quite procession. First
came four young men on horseback, then
the bridal carriage, followed by at least a
dozen more. After they were pronounced
husband and wife they drove back again
to Truesdell in the same manner, where
nearly one hundred guests gathered,
bringing with them valuable presents.
Who says that girls have not pluck and
nerve. Last Saturday afternoon there
was a young lady in a buggy waiting for
friend who was expected by the $50
train The horse which she was driving
became frightened at the engine and made
plunge, pulling her almost over the
dash-iron. She recovered herself, braced
her feet against the front Of the buggy,
and wrapping the reins around her hands,
forced the horse, which had started to run
towards the Maple House, back on its
launches, thus checking his flight. We
do not mention the name of the young
lady, as we do not wish to provoke jeal-
Ousy in her companions.
