off in the blatf of the mine, and he was
cautioned not to get too near the wall,

The Denaocrat-Register of Bonne
Terre of last week contained the fol-
lowing paragraph relative to an old
time friend of the REGISTER. DIR.
Dunklin is an able physician and an
estimable man, we hope to yet see him
fully restored to health:
DIR. D. Dunklin was taken to St.
Louis yesterday afternoon and convey
ed to hospital for careful examina-
tion. Should the physicians think il
advisable he will. after few days
rest depart for San Antonio, Texas, in
the hope of being benefited by
change of climate. The Doctor has
the sympathy of our community and
their sincere wishes for the rapid i'm
provement OF his health. His condi-
tion, however, is pronounced very
critical.

The Hartville Press, after copying
an item from the Lebanon Sentinel to
the effect that a champion egg-eater
in that town had eaten seventeen raw
and seventeen cooked eggs, washing
them down with two gallons of lager
beer, very properly says: .'And then
he ought to have been shot in the neck
with a quart of Lebanon whiskey to
stop the propagation of his hogine
species"
We make greatful acknowledgment
of the compliment contained in the
following suggestion made by the
Houston Herald:
Two editors from this district would
make very suitable timber for dele
