THE MAIL

Paper

The twenty-seventh wedding anni versary of A. M. Farnbam and wife was celebrated last Saturday evening, a large number of friends gathering at their residence for that purpose.

Judge Carlton delivered an address at the reunion of the veterans of the Mexican war, at Indianapolis, Wednesday evening. There are about two hundred survivors in the State, and the associa tion numbers one hundred and fifty Members.

Capt. E. B. Allen has no immediate intention of resigning the position of local agent of the E. fe T. H. R. R., aa reported.' He contemplates removing from this city—but of this is not certain. At any rate no change in the agency of the road will be be made until the first of April next.

J. E. Saxton, formerly of this city, now of Champaign, Ills., called upon us, on Monday, and we are glad to know that be is prospering as sr pap9r dealer and job printer. He has associated with him Lieut. George R. Bacon, late of the regular army, the husband of our former Mi3S Eugenie McKenzie.

Harry Owens, we are sorry to learn, starts this evening for Waterville, Kansas, where, with George Meredith, who has gone before, he will join a concert company and travel the rest of the season. We are sorry to lose both these excellent musicians, even though it may be only for a few months.

Jacob Muller, who took such an active part in Mrs. Russell's temperance work, attempted suicide last Sunday morning, with laudanum, at his home on north Fifth street. He was greatly depressed, and his mental faculties not in prooer condition at the time. He has of late been in the employ ot Townley Bros, and has charge of the furnace at the Second Presbyterian church.

Ed Friend came back home Monday afternoon, after a few weeks of service on Mr. Dooley's paper, at Columbus He sent word to the boys to meet him at the depot with a carriage and brass band. So the boys went out with a dray. There's nothing mean or stuck up about Ed., and so he mounted the chair upon the dray acd to the music of a bass drum was escorted down town. Ed says he has "come to stay."

Tbe cause of Mr. Ike Fecheimer's fre quent visits to St. Louis was found out this week, and bis acquaintances astonished te learn that he had been married to Miss Mollie Sherrill, of that city. The bride was a former resident of |bis city, a pupil of the school at §t. Mary's, and is said to be handsome and accomplished. She will remain with her parents at St. Louis until Mr. F. gets, ready for housekeeping.

Eugene Stimson, son of Rev. S. M. i^SiSfc^l^^ince he went west seems to be up." As has been mentioned, he elected Auditor of State of Colorado. We hear that he and the other State officers have just been installed in elegant suites of roonas, and with much ceremony, under the auspices of the military organizations of the city of Denver. The old and new State officers were escorted from tbe State building to the Legislative Hall by the Governor's Guards, tbe Mitchell Guards, and tbe Chaffee Light Artillery.

Fisbeck Bros., successors, to F„ G. Froeb, 212 Main street, between Second and Third, would be pleased to have anybody in want of anything in the Harness line to call and look at their now acd complete stock of Saddles, Harness, Collars, Whip», etc. Bargains lo he had which can't be beat anywhere in the city. Call and be satisfied.

Besides keeping the famed Chickering !plano» and the Mason it Hamlin organs, W. H. Paige A Co. hare pianos and organs from other good inannfac. turers at lower prices, together with a large stock of smaller tnns'.cai instruments of every variety. They have a full line of sheet music, and any pleoe called for not In their large collection •will be furnished in a few days.

One of the saddest and most vexatious trials tbat comes to a girl when she marries, is that she has to discharge her mother and depend upon a hired girl, but the housekeeping ru«s all right if she directs her husband to leave orders for table supplies at the popular grocery honse of Wright A King, corner of Main and Seventh streets, whereat the lowest market pricea can always be found tbe best groceries and table supplies, with courteous attention and prompt delivery. A few lines in big black ty In another column tells of some of the good things they have to-day.

There was a pathetic Scene at the burial of the wile of ex Governor Smith ol Virginia, the other day. Mrs. Smith was eighty years old, her husband eighty-two, and they had been married fifty-nine years. The veuerable man was s® prostrated by his grief that he fell on his way from the house to the carriage that took him to the grave, and there his cries for his dead wife were most pitiful to hear.

A clerk in a Denver grocery stole provisions to send to the workmen in mine tbat he partly owned. He had recently married, and bore an excellent reputation, so the exposure of his crime was a stunning blow. He begged the officer who made the arrest to let him stay at home until morning. The officer complied, staying on guard in tbe house. In tbe night the prisoner and his wife commited suicide with laudanum.

In Florida the tramps ot the North who went South to enjoy the delicious winter weather paddle along the subtropical rivers, with the odors of orange and lemon trees in the air and wh6n they are hungry they go ashore and compel lone women to cook dinners for them. Wrhen tbe summer comes they will leave tbe glades of Florida and come to tbe cool North for green corn and succotash and musk melons. A select few may be expected here (Providence permitting) as early as strawberry time.

A most remarkable story comes from Utica, New York. It is set going by reason of tbe death of Hayes Hinman, who lived two miles from that city, and died on the 20th, at the age of 66 years. Fifty years ago Hayes Hinman heard his father swear at a member of the family, and the occurrence produced such an impression on the young man's mind tbat he made a vow never to speak again. Seven years later be bruised the fingers of his left band, and the pain drew from him the ejaculation "Ob!" Subsequently, on one occasion, be saw a snake crawl over a sleeping child, and called out "See!" With these two exceptions he never spoke a word for fifty years, resorting to many ingenious devices to evade tbe necessity for talking. Despite his ecoentriclty he was well liked by all. He left a fortune of |24,000 to a nephew, with the injunction "Keep yotfr mouth shnt." "Aged about 45, hair brown, eyes blue, height medium, dark blue mark nnder right eye, scar on left cheek, nose large, mouth rather small, speaks fluently, preaohes, so far as known, for Baptist and Cumberland Presbyterians. Is cal culated to deceive." Such is the description given by the Sedalia, Mo., Bazoo of an unmitigated scamp, whose name, varying with circnmstaaces, is Gordon, Turner, La Verne, Mofflt, or anything else, and who has married, any number of women. He is a fit companion for the "Rev Williams, who was released from our jail this week. He has been principal of a seminary at Long wood, Mo., and abandoned a wife there then visited, as a leotarer and Baptist preacher, Connellsvllle, Pa., and picked up a4 respectable lady of means. He took her, in Jnly last, to Baltimore, went on a drunk, and after robbing her of 1,600, levanted. Her

Sir: At the beginning of our great Executor's Sale, to close up the estate of the late John Gray Foster, of New York, we urged on the community to do their trading, as far as possible, in the morning, and thus avoid the larger crowd of the afternoon. At present we can see no difference between the size of the crowd in tbe morning and in the afternoon. When our doors are opened at half-past seven, a. m., tbe crowd commences to surge, and continues till night. Many customers go away without being waited on, and however much we regret it, we see no way to have it otherwise. During next week we will keep the store open till 10 p. m., in order tbat those crowded out during the day may get a chance to buy their goods. '*v•*
