STEVENS, R. S. WE had the pleasure a short time since of examining a book entitled theWihl Beasts, Birds and Reptils of the world, by P.T. Barnum, and we must say it is a very interesting work, and one that would be a valuable addition to every library. Mrs. Warhorst will be in this village this week canvassing for the same and we bespeak for her a careful examioatiipt of the wprfcwhen she eallq / IN the past week several disgraceful affairs have occurred on our streets, and we are told in some instances when sworn officers were standing by who did not at­ tempt to interfere or do their duty. If this is io, it is high time something was done. That peaceable citizens are al­ lowed to be attacked on our streets by thugs and would-be bullies, is a disgrace to our village, and if the officers of the law, town and village, are unable or un­ willing to do their duty, it is high time they step down and out and allow others to take their place who will do it. There are other violations of village ordinances which should receive immediate atten­ tion. If our village is to be run by thugs and their acts upheld by those to whom we should look for better things, tlg^ quicker we learn that fact the better. ' a>"- Richmond Driving Park.

R'y was overcome by the heat at Elgia Xofcday of last week. He sank into a coaisSpBBe state from which it was very difficult to arouse him. The doctors give up all hopes of his recovery. SAYS the Arizona Howkr: "Business men in this community who do not ad­ vertise in the Howler, frequently try to work us for a free "ad" by getting us to publish a description of the snakes they see when they have the delirium tremens. But we are on to the dodge. We tell them right here and now that we will puff nothing except a good cigar without cash down." THfe new law, making it illegal for any city or village to employ men for any work not citizens of the United States, or who have npt talten out first papers, went into effect-July 1. It behooves all interested to remember this, as men employed contrary to the law cannot be paid from public money and any money so paid can be recovered from thf offi­ cial who* pays itb on complaint of any citizen. ' • WE learn that it Is contemplated get­ ting up a Free-for-All Stallion Race on the McHenry" Driving Park, in which "George O.," "Star Hambletonian," "Sprague Pilot," "Umber," and "Brill­ iant," will take part. Should these noted horses come together it would make a race worth coming'a hundred miles to aee. We hope they may be suc­ cessful in making this arrangement. WE have it from good authority that the common house fly lays over one hundred eggs, and the time from the egg laying to maturity is only about two weeks. We give this item for the en­ couragement of dealers in fly paper, mosquito netting and wire screens, and let the fool who has more time than we have, go on calculating how many flies each individual tfy will raise to the square inch during the summer. FOR the benefit of the young people in this locality, and to stimulate the growth of that fragrant fruit, the onion, we give a description of a new game very popular out west, called the Onion Party. 'The ladies are divided in squads of six, and one of them takes a bite out of an onion, A young man is then led is ar.d told to guess the young lady taking the bite. If he guesses right he kisseH the other five; if he guesses wrong, he pays the forfeit by kissing the one who ate the onion. AN exchange says that recently a man secreted a jug of some liquid in a bin of oats. This man owns horse, which for 20 years has been remarkable for ite quiet and modest demeanor, Somehow that horse secured an entrance to the bin, pulled the eork^ with ife teeth. tipj>ed it over and ate the saturated oats. The animal then began to act silly, staggered around the barn, chewed a carriage top to pieces, kicked the bara door down and was found in a stupid condition under a /As the "little bare-foot" "season ap­ proaches, says an exchange, we are reminded that during the season we often hear of one who has stuck a rusty nail into his foot and lockjaw has resulted therefrom. All such wounds can be healed without any fatal consequences following them. The remedy is simple. It is only necessary to smoke the wound, or bruise that is inflamed, with burning wool, or woolen cloth. Twenty minutes in the smoke of WoOl will take the pain out of the' worst case of inflammation arising from a wound. AN exchange says that these are the days when it behooves every one to exer­ cise temperance in all things. Eat less, drink less, both of ice water and intoxi­ cants, for the former is about as bad as the latter, and don't allow yourself to become excited when you possibly can hfelp it. Prudence is the best safeguard against the dangers that threaten man's vitality in sweltering summer days. Im­ prudences which may seemingly be of little moment quickly turn into danger­ ous and often fatal ones. Each person should restrain himself in the matter of drink, even though he is compelled to mortify the flesh more than usual. I&r Mason's Monthly, for July, 1889: The following letter was set up from a photographic copy of the original which comes from one of the largest manufac­ turers of builders' mill work, moulding brackets, stair work, etc., in New Jersey.

Youra Reip^rtfully, WK H . WILKDII AOo* THERE was an expression of innocence at once "both childlike and bland" upon his manly countenance as he entered our sanctum early Monday morning. Drop­ ping into a chair he sadly and reflectively wiped the moisture from his face and then gently asked: "What is the most popular State since the Fourth?" We said we did not know, when he at once and with malioe aforethought, as we are prepared to prove, hurled the fol­ lowing with terrific force at our defence­ less head: "A state of inebriation, you fool!" And. with a fiendish laugh h* vanished down the sta rs just in advance of our heaviest volley of pet cuss words which we flung after him as soon as we recovered Ladies' mons & Hi - W i - i (1-silk mitts 19c at Fitiflim- >n's. solid black* <*ay 8c a « •irt-'t- ->"/* JTrowonrReg WA(jitlfi;;<.i». mmm The Pr&ident left this afternoon for Deer Park to join his family.

Walker Blaine has returned to Wash­ ington, Mid say s he will remain during the entire summer. He does not say-so in so many words but he intimates that his father, the Secretary, will not return before September unless something very important shall occur to make his pres­ ence here necessary. The sensation-loving newspaj^r cor­ respondents had a bad attack of summer madness this week, just because Commis­ sioner of Pensions Tanuer, the day after his retum from the West, ha<l a confer­ ence with Secretary Noble and Assistant Secretary Buseey, of the Interior Depart­ ment. It was announced in all the glory of double-leaded type and ware heads that Tanner had been "bounced." The only foundation in the world for the an­ nouncement i>eing the conference l>etweeu the three gentlemen named. Commis­ sioner Tanner and Assistant Secretary Bussey both assured your correspondent that there was not, nor had there been at any time .the slightest trouble between the Commissioner and the Seeretary^rimd that the conference mentioned was held at Mr. Tanner's request, in order to con­ sider certain departmental matters con­ nected with the opening of the fiscal year upon which there is a slight difference of opinion. The correspondents that sent the sensational matter Were doubtless envious of the notoriety Of the Sullivan- Kilraiu prize fight. Public Printer Palmer has appointed A. A. Collins, of the Distract of Columbia, chief clerk of the Government printing office. Mr. Collins has been an employe of the office from boyhood, and will, it is generally conceded, male a first-class chief clerk. Secretary Rusk wishes^ distinctly un­ derstood that he did not accept a blood- ed horse from a prominent citizen of Maryland, as was* reported. Of course this denial was entirely unnecessary as far as the people of Wisconsin and the other Northwestern States are con­ cerned. Those who know "Uncle Jerry" best, say they wo\ild jiot like to stand in the shoes of H man who attempted to make him a present while he was holding an official position. Mr. How.ird A. Taylor, editor and pro- proprietor of the Hudson, Wis., Star and 1 hnfis, has been appointed Commissioner of Railroads to succeed General Joseph E. Johnson, whose resignation has been accepted to take effect the 10th. Mr. Taylor was strongly backed for the place by Senators Spodjstcfl and L&wyer and Secretary Rusk. ?

To say that the piece is a success would be simply a reiteration. It is undoubtedly the most successful theat­ rical production of the kind ever wit­ nessed in any country, and bid% fair to play to crowded houses until it is with­ drawn to make way for other attractions already contracted for. On Thursday evening, the 18th, the 60th performance of the piece was given. The owuision was marked by a distribution of artis­ tic portfolio souvftnirs, and considerable demonstration on the part of the large audience present who greeted all the features with the most hearty applause. Some changes have been made in the piece lately, and in conformity with the policy of the management of the Chicago Opera House, others will follow in rapid succession. The characters of Orta Ga- zonda, and Orta Gazoof, which haxe at­ tained considerable popularity on ac­ count of their Hebrew eccentricities, will retire from die cast and these characters will be succeeded by a couple of police­ men of the Milesian persuasion. Some other changes are contemplated in the cast, notwithstanding its excellence, but simply to keep alive the spirit of interest which has been aroused. For the 3d edi­ tion, which will be witi^essed at the be­ ginning of the 9tli week, a very elaborate and costly,novelty is in preparation. It involves a heavy expenditure and much labor in its production. The matinees continue to be well patronized by the ladies and children, and at the evening performances the capacity of the house is tested. FOR SALE. Full Blood Greyhound Pups. Inquire of C.

Traveling men can always be accom­ modated in our village, for if the livery men all happen to be absent, one of our business men takes it upon himself to go to the barn and harness a team and another drives the man to his destina­ tion. • We live for each other. The lawsuit trial before justice Chan­ dler on Saturday, between pathmaster Nelson Gates and a man working for G. B. Stone, was decided. in favor of the latter and the town pays the costs. There has been considerable trouble iu that district this year over working out the rood tax and all arising from a little petty spite. It should not be the duty of the commissioners to appoint paymas­ ters for the several districts but each district should elect their own by vote as in former years. A Sullivan and Kilrain contest took place in town on Saturday and Kilrain fell beneath his opponent in about the seventy-fifth round and came ^orth with a badly brused limb. Instead of resin on their hands the article used was starch.
