first Street variety believes in changing
his methods occasionally. He has given
up the thunderous way of making his

This seventy-frst Street spook had not

the last few nights. when in an ancient
dwelling at No 222 alleged mysterious
flashes of light have been seen.
The neighborhood has lost its temper.
and it is said reward OF $50 awaits

Blackbirds there are in plenty. and many

Moonlight Picnic.

About twenty five of the young
people of the city participated in
a hay ride last night. They drove
out to Ben Leibenheim's, about
three miles from town. returning
home about two O'Clock this
morning. An unusually good
time is reported, with nothing to
mar the pleasure of the occasion
excepting a runaway, which
caused considerable excitement
but no damage. These pleasant
moonlight nights are sufficiently
beautiful to cause one to forget
the dissagreeable wind and dust
during the day.

times this morning, and then had
to beat it to death. We would
respectfully suggest that when
such work is to be done, the ami
