Oeblrh & IIISSKB. Last Monday evening a stranger registered at the St. Charles hotel as I. Smith of and under ordinary circumstances would have passed un noticed but Constable Taylor had re ceived information that evening from Milbank to the effect that about one hundred dollars had been feloniously abstmeied from the possesion of Ska hen & Uaird. Bob, therefore, "spot ted" the individual called Smith who soon became uneasy under surveillance and began to fumble suspiciously about tlu- upper extremity of his pan taloons. Finally, to elude observa tion. he went into the washroom where Bob followed and caught him in the act of disposing of his ill-gotten gain. The money was found intact in his possession and tlx ft '1 iw who then gave his name a.s has. Jacobson was turned over, with the wealth, to the Milbank authoritus Father HeimimgY, holidays are en livened by frequent calls to perform the marriage ceremony. Last Satur day he united in single blessedness Mr. Matt Fink and Miss Ella Wy man. both #f this place and on Christ mas Day a party of five from Appleton were awaiting, at the St, Charles, his return from Milbank. Next day the weldii,? process took place, and not withstanding the hymeneal concentra tion which ]»ad taken place »t the church, the parly were forced by the rigor of the day, on their return the hotel, to seek the warmth of the Hkk ali oflice. Being the liist time we had seen a bride since we were there ourself, the scene quite up-set us, bat be it said to our credit that we scram 'tied around among our three-legged chairs, broken-backed stools and old boxes until we got seats enough to nujee them all welcome and were grat til *d to know that I hey went away feeli.u£ more comtortnble than when they te&me. The contracting parties were Mr. Murray E. Philley and Miss (. eeiiia Maria ii iirlev, both of Minne sota. »ni»»iH'r. The literary part of the Mo"CVi- Sin'-""S Uv consisted of prayer '-y th« m. B.

There was a considerable crowd at the Christmas tree.'and for the uceess of it much credit is due to a lew, es pecially to Sheriff Meadows and Ins estimable wife. The infant daughter of Mr. Kyse of this place died on the 23rd inst, fol lowing its mother, within a few days.
