BEDDING.


 It was the COW of Anthony Kolosky that was killed by the cowardly mis- creants who broke into the house of An drew Peck. Though compelled to pay heavily for their drunken lark, State prison was none too good for them. An thony is hard working, sober and in- dustrious citizen, who could ill bear the loss of his COW. We understand that he received $25 for his loss. What render ed the act more aggravated was the fact that Anthony assisted them to mend their broken wagon and refused any pay.
 The unoccupied house of Mrs Jona- than Whitehead was burglarized, last week. Among other things taken was $20 gold piece.

Previous to the service, the graves of the soldiers in the different cemeteries were decorated with flowers. As far as heard from, the people of Redding are responding nobly to the demands which will be made upon their hospitality, the 17th of June. All of the committees are requested to report to J. N. Nickerson on or be- fore the 10th. Dishes and table cloths, knives, forks and spoons will not be re- quired, other provision having been made for them. It is expected that at least 800 visitors will have to be fed, but if the number should exceed that, it will be found that the ladies of Bedding are equal to the task. Should the weather be pleasant, it will be a red let ter day in Bedding history.
 The Ridge singing school will give a concert in Whiteheads hall, on the evening of June 16, exercises to com mence at o'clock, admission 10c. The proceeds will be for the benefit of the school. The ladies, who have had charge of this enterprise and have de- voted time and energies to it without one cent of compensation, deserve credit.
