Dangerous Sport, - Several boys
were playing near John Vogtman's
house, west Main street. Tuesday af-
ternocn. Their manner excited the
wonderment of a young lady member
of Mr.. VS. family, who said she be-
lievcd they We're playing with powder.
Going to the window to observe more
arly-whish came a missile
through the pane within three inches
of her head. The Young lady fell back
so badly frightened that Mr.. Vogtman,
who was eating his supper. thought
she had been killed. As will be sup
posed, the household was much shock
ed. investigation proved the young
lady's surmise correct. A cartridge
shell, several inches long, was found
on the other side of the room, and the
boys subsequently admitted playing
with powder, and told where they had
bought it. The incident furnishes the

long to erect depot up in town which
will be at once Il thing Of usefulness,
as well as of beauty and a joy forever
AT its present location it will be, as here
tofore perpetual inconvenience, and
can never be either an attraction or
an object of town pride.
The JOURNAL saw nice looking

That veteran explorer, Thomas H.,
Paul, is at home from an extensive
tour of the wild and woolly West. He
approves the boulevard expenditure,
and hopes to be spared the necessity of
