The monthly cattle fair yesterday
had a comparatively small attendance,
and the fair consisted principally of
horses, for which sales were not num-
erous The weather was fine, bat farm

on the fair.
Here is an ineligible piece of in
formation in the Cody case published in
Monday evenings Wisconsin:

of Watertown, who was brought here
on charge of assault with intent to
murder his father, was taken before
Justice Bennett. He waived eXam1n-
alton and was held for trail.
The Cambrian club party Monday
evening at Concordia Opera house was
a successful opening Of the dancing
season and proved to be most enjoy
able affair to all the participants. Some
forty couples were in attendance. The
music by Smith, Of GAINESVILLE, was ex-
onisite: it is seldom that as good dance
music is given here. The party was IN
every way credit to its projectors and
fully sustained the fine reputation the
clubs dances had acquired last season.

nearly thirtyfve acres OF land In New
York City, which is now occupied by
Trinity church and part Of Wall Street,

for heir. has been going On for some
wears. bat will now be pushed with
vieor.
The NilwsuteesJ ournalin its Sstur-
dav issue characterizes the proceedings
against VIM. G. Cody AZ malicious
persecution. This is an insult to such
citizens as DR.. Ed. Johnson, DR.. F. c.
Werner, Dr.. ". T. Whyte. DR.. c. r.
Field, T. 3. futile and hundreds Of
Others, whose only motive in the course
| they pursued WAS in humane effort to
provide DR.. Cody with the comforts of
| life and make his latter days pleasant
and worth living out. And for taking
part in cause like this these gentlemen
are slandered as malicious persecu-
! tors"
Enquiries from Milwaukee were
made yesterday AS to whether our
| former townsman, Hon. VIM. Livsey,
ex-state treasurer of Pennsylvania aud
the present cashier Of the treasury Of
that state. was here and if it could be
ascertained why be refused to return
+, to PENNSYLVANIA and testify in the
Beardsley case. Mr. Livsey could not
be found nor could any light be thrown
or the subject. It was supposed IN
Milwaukee that MIR. Liysey was, per-
haps, here at the residence of his daugh-
ter Mrs. Chas. W. Jones, WHO'S in Mil
waukee by the bedside of her sister
Mrs. Eugene Jones, who is in poor

made Of half an hour, when the home
ward Journey began. The cyclers were
given until Z clock in the evening to

waukee at precisely 6:57, giving them
8 minutes to spare, and breaking the
