Some miscreant burglarized the post-office last Saturday night, taking therefrom $5 in cash, a revolver and some other articles. The thief or thieves may rest assured that the revolver will eventually bring the culprit to justice.

The Presbyterian ladies, with their usual vim and push, are getting up a nice fair and entertainment for next Tuesday afternoon and evening. A splendid opportunity will be given to buy oysters served in elegant style and a handsome Christmas present for your wife or sister.

G. B. Chappell met with a mishap last Saturday, which had in it all the elements of a first class accident, but happily, beyond some severe bruises and a general shaking up.no serious harm was done. His foot slipped and he fell from the hay loft to the barn floor beneath, with a pitchfork in one hand and a lantern in the other. Some of the horses in this vicinity seem to be on the rampage. A team belonging to parties unknown to our correspondent ran away on Saturday evening, scattering dry goods and groceries about in a promiscuous manner on either side of the road. They came to a standstill and were captured near R. R. street. On Sunday evening a team belonging to Mr. James, living near Wolcott rushed down the same street colliding with a large stone on the way and”breaking the buggy into several different parts. One of the horses was not found until the next morning, when*, it was found in M. F. French’s pasture with harness and blanket still on. Beyond the damage to the buggy there was no other material loss in either case.
