On Sunday morning, Nov. Olta. at 11ms r-ldenee of the bride' father, t-y lt-. A. KlU-t, Mr.

Abram Goeru to ifu Sumii Abrsm ft 'eniiMu young man. He built him a houe, fuinll It, and got married Fuuday morning, took hi wife to churi li morning and evening, Just a though nothing hail hnppentd. We call the atu-ntlnn of our old fid iid Nherpy, foreman of the Bun-log (Ka) Tklm'Hnk. to the fact that Mr. I).

of Newton, Kao-bit been in town for a day or two Ant Courier of ihe Bianulcll's 81 Bell Hinerr. Ainsworth I a good one, and if bherpy's lot is cant among sm-h, n.iiv he live a thousand year lo enloy their society JAckley (Iowa), Enterprise. Wo are unacquainted with the aliove mentioned gentleman, but we can awure our friend Barnard, of the Enterprise, that we live In a good a community as the sun ever thone upon. A Dki.ibios. The spirit of prophecy that has leen goading us on to do good deeds and sjM-ak good words, has proved a delusion and a cheat.

It held out as an Inducement, a vision of heutv such as Is seldom seen. Ladies adorned by all the perfections of naturo and art gentle-nicaw itk Ihe melii of princes, reup lend ant in diamonds and broadcloth, and last but not least, (in our estimation) came the banquet hall, sparkling with silver and glass 'mid-an atmosphere laden with the rich aroma of Mast turkey and ruby wine, and In the centre of all ealable delicacies, towered an immense wedding cake, terrace upon tcrruce like steps to heaven, and as our being was filled with de light at the thought of getting a good, square meal, we beheld, (in our mind) groups of newly married angels, floating around snd promenading up and down that pyramid of delicious pastry. But 'tis gone I The vision was but as the tn huge in Ihe desert, paiuted upon the Imagination of a suffering way furer. The wedding is over. 'Twas done in such a hurry that the ground section of the cak'te pyramid was most all dough.

We did not go, and we're glad of it now, because, the anticipation was better than the reality. Shameful. We are aware of the deli, caey with which such subjects as the one about to be mentioned, are spoken of. People are ashamed to speak of them, and we are ashamed that sucu things are permitted to exist In a community where chris. tlunity and morality are recognized as virtues.

From time lo time, we hear of seme tent or shanty being put np close by the town, In which crimes against God, humanity, law, order and decency, are perpetrated and yet our citizens let such things exist, when they must know that that some of the young men of the place, with whom they and their wives and duughters associate and perhaps their own sons, are patronizing those dens of iniquity, and coming again with their degraded morula and sin stained characters, to be recognized again as respectable and received again into the society of the pure and virtuous, when they have done that which should brand tiiem as bensts, not men. Can any one tell why it should be peimittcd It is something that modesty often prevents from being exposed. But it should he so loathsome that every decent man ana woman should cry out against it, and every man who should so far forget the respect that he owes to him self, as a member of society and a nian, as to humble himself into this mire of shame, should be forever barred from all respect ability. Let us see that such things are not permitted in our community. And let us show to those who help them that morality and such conduct, are not friends A Caution.

To those boys that blow cows horns, we wish to give a wordof caution. We like the sound of them very much. There is a pathetic sweetness about the sound of a cows-born that takes the starch ull out of one's limbs, till he sin ks resignedly to the earth to wait for mountains lo fall upon him. We said we liked it, and we guess the little boys like it too, and hope that noue ot thein will quit tho Innocent amusement for anything. But we can't help but tell them about a little boy that blew one, one time, (don't get scared boys, may be you won't die, if be did).

He was a stout, hesllhy boy. He "could outrun, whip, or throw down any boy in town, but he traded martles to another boy for a hoin, and commenced! to blow it. For awhile it worked al right, sounded nice, until nil the neighbors wore "poor man's plasters" over their ears. But one morning he began to blow it, and ho found be couldn't let go of it with his mouth. He had got the draft started up the born, and It drew like a chimney.

His eyes stuck out till he Beo the back of his head, He couldn't breathe, yell, whistle, play marbles, or put his hands in his pockets and till that horn ke pt blowing. He began so get thin he wanted to see his ma, but ho hadn't time. The bom wanted him, and so he had to stay. Finally the wind all left him and he came together like a balloon with the gas all out. Then strip after strip of his clothing went through tho horn, like straws out of a threshing machine.

Next day a man round the horn and one of the boy's boots, and that was Ui "The Old andReliaTble'' General Merchandise Store of QBE A II GOERTZ for your GROCERIES, DRY GOODS Clothing, Boots Shoes, Eto Wooden ware of all kinds, Choice Tobacco and Cigars, and in fact everything usually kept in a first class Western Mercandisiog Establishment.

J. Blanchard re lates one of the strangest freaks of electricity that we have ever heard. During the thunder storm Tuesday a flash of lightning struck one of hiBCOws, lifted one of his hogs from one pen and put it In another pen some distance away, and shocked one of his wife's feet while she was buildine a fire In the stove. The cow was killed, the hog slightly, stunned, but his wife, however, received no injury. She said she tlioucut somclliing leu on her foot but couldn't see anytnine there, so concluded that it was lightning.

Next I Local Papers. A large proportion of people do nothing to support their local papers, and yet reap the benefit every dav of the editor's work. A man will say, advertising docs not pay in my busi ness I have to keep men on tue roaa, and cat mv customers by coins after them and yet the fact is that the town In which he does business would be unknown, the railroad over which he ships his goods would be unbuilt, and he him self would bo unheard-of, if it were not for tho newspaper, which he says does no good. The local paper is of advantage to every man in the community, and when a man refuses to contribute to the support of the paper on the ground that it "does him no eood he might just as well refuse to pay bis taxes for the support of the courts and the police force, on the ground that ho never breakes the laws and does not need any officers. There are men who belieye themselves to be Honest ana pious, who are doing business in every community, and every day appropriating to their own use the fruits of olher men's labors, by reaping the benefit of the newspaper without contributing a cent to its support, and yet they would he terribly shocked if they should bo charged with stealing wood from their neighbors.

But the principle is just the same, the only diflerence being tliat in one case the law can reach them, and in the other it cannot but. morally, it is just as) dis. honest to steal the fruits of your neighbor's enterprise, as to steal his fuel or his chickens. Too much credit cannot be given tho weekly pnper tor the work it has done and is still doing for the benefit of this country. Ex.
