The Festival.

The festivallast Thursday evening
at the Court House Hall for the
Mozart Silver Band, was great
success in every particular and net
ted about seventy dollars for the
band. AS nearly every thing was
donated and prepared gratis by the
parties who had it in charge, there
was OF course, but little expense.
The REFRESHMENTS were elegant in
deed and were all serevd out and
the cakes left, were auctioned off at
a handsome sum. There was a very
amusing side-show that at a nickle
a head for admittance netted sever
al dollars and the grabbing also
made lots Of fun and helped to
swell the proceeds. The band was
there and furnished lots Of excel
lent music and altogether the affair
was a very pleasant and profitable
one and too much cannot be said in
praise of the parties who had charge
Of it and the ladies in particular.

Wore Trouble With A Mule.

Wednesday evening Of last week
Howard Liston, who lives out near
Pleasant Dale. rode his mule out to
water and returning to the stable in
a hurry, as it was cold, and the door
being open the mule charged on IN
to the stable, without waiting for
his rider to dismount and the re-
suit was a collision between the
upper sill of the entrance and How
RAIDS head. The log being hewed
one and having sharp corner, it
cut severe cash almost to the bone
and peeled back the scalp several
inches, almost scalping him, DR..
Pratt was sent for and dressed the
wound, sewing the scalp back on.
The Doctor now recommends him
for full membership in the Red Men
lodge as he has already been soalped.

1890, about 2 p. M, Mrs. Barlow,

at 1880 a. m. The deceased died
very suddenly. She had been going
about her work that day and eaten
a hearty breakfast that morning and
was taken sick at eleven O'Clock
and only lived three hours. 1t
seems that she had been a sufferer
from heart disease and had the la
grippe, which aggravated it and
probably caused her sudden demise.
