Both the CdIedonian and the Repub-
Rcdn did a very creditable work in
their accounts of the dedication of the
Fairbanks Museum. Itwas our pleas
ure to be present, and the occasion was
one of great pleasure to the large as
sembly present. The gift is one that
should entitle Col. Fairbanks to the
erations.
The McFarlane child, wounded by
the rifle bullet, continues to improve,
and it is hoped that she will ultimately
wound, although the bullet is still
somewhere in the head. The physi-
clan thinks it passed through the head,
and may be embedded in the skull, OPP
posite the point of entrance.
Rev. DR.. Beeman was present at M.
E. church yesterday, and preached
two very excellent revival sermons.
He will preach this evening. 1t is
expected that the revivalist, Mr. Rey-
nolds will come here the last of the
week, continuing the services which
are quite successfully begun.
The school lyceum and entertain
ment came off Saturday evening, a
very large number being present. The
speaking was very quite and the ly-
ceum debate was conducted in a most
able manner, the age of those taking
part considered. The young ladies'
had a very interesting paper. The
Barton Landing schools sent a large
delegation from the two higher de-
partments, including the teachers A
cordial greeting was extended.
The grip has made its appearance
here, and promises to have pretty
thorough run. Several families are
afflicted. There are five practically
sick abed in the EDITORS family this
morning. AS some may not have the
pleasure of wrestle with the disease
we state the first attack as the prone
nading of ice cold chills all over the
body, followedin an hour by from sew
enty-four to hundred pains, all dis
tinct and peculiar, each one trying to
out-do the other in disagreeableness
and severity. A soreness and lame
ness strikes in that makes one think
he has run through fulling mill, while
the throat, head and lungs feel as
though the whole lining had been
blistered. We shall hereafter have a
very unpleasant regard for la grippe.
