A. J. ANGELL shipped several car loads of lumber to Nebraska yesterday. There are only twenty candidates for the office of city marshal at present. Judge MORTON of Topeka was in the city yesterday, and left for Oskaloosa, where he will open court this morning. Keno, faro, poker and monte are among the things that "used to was" in this city for the present. Wonder if the coming election had anything to do with it? The alarm of fire at 3:30 o'clock yesterday morning was occasioned by the burning of a stable belonging to Geo. P. ELBERT, in the alley on Olive street, between Fourth and Fifth streets. Mad Anthony, the hook-nosed blackmailer of the Leavenworth "Times" has withdrawn his libel suit against MARKSON. No wonder, as no jury of twelve men could be found in the county who would believe him under oath. Miss Carrie VALLIANT, an interesting young lady, daughter of Joseph VALLIANT, Esq., of the Central hotel, died on Monday, in the twenty-third year of her age. The family of Mr. VALLIANT have the sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement. Mad Anthony is trying his best to burlesque the action of the legislature with reference to the action taken by them in expelling the correspondent of the Kansas City "Times." Liars, blackmailers and blackguards invariably stick together. The street commissioner is having all the ruts and break-neck excavations on Pottawatomie street filled up, a job very much needed. A look at Ottawa street between Fifth and Sixth, we think, would convince him that a little spare rock and dirt would not be at all wasted there. We had a new moon yesterday, which may in some way account for the periodical fit of lunacy of Mad Anthony, the hook-nosed man of destiny of the "Times." People, we presume, will be charitable enough not to notice him for a few weeks, or else give him actions the charity of their silence. (I have no connection with these families; but, if you found this to be of value, please let me know.) neirbo
