One of the briefs lately printed in this
office was fiery and full of zeal. We make
the following extract from the testimony of
one Of the witnesses: 81 am foaled in hell;
raised in Texas; can whip my weight in
wild cats; am hornets nest; am walk
ing horse and tornado on wheels; and can
whip any ID man on Black River who
turned my horses into the woods ~ The
subject matter was prepared by Mr.. w. l..
Beyersdorff and he presents very logical
and scholarly argument, backed up by a
seemingly irrepressible array Of citations.
The residents of the North End were
treated to somewhat of sensation Tuesday
morning last on learning that Mr.. Ike Wool
EN- and Miss Laura Rasor had been quietly
married the night before and boarded the
train for Texas, where the newly MAIDS twain
will make their future home. The parties
principal had long been keeping company,
but no one seemed to have an idea that the
"stepping off" was near. The mother of
the brI,ie did not know that the event had
taken place until Tuesday when she received
note from her daughter informing her of
what had TRANSFERRED, and begging maternal
forgiveness and blessing. The mother is
now said to be very wroth, but the proba-
bilities are that in due time her anger Will
subslde and the erring one be fully and free
" forgiven.

ests the public. The work is called "The

subjects of anatomy and physiology as
required by the new section of the school
law of Missouri. 1t consists of several
beautiful charts and mankins eff the human
anatomy, exhibiting the several organs Of
the system by means of finely engraved
plates so constructed and arranged as to
give even little child very complete
knowledge Of his physical organi
The plates are so arranged that they pre-
sent the organs as they are in nature, both
in health and in disease, giving very accu-
rate and pleasing contrast to the same, and
presenting the subjects to be
taught in the most attractive and impressive
The school board at this place has
purchased a set, and we are sure the money
paid therefor is well expended.
