John WILCOX, This, April 13, 1885. Henry EULER of De Soto, will leave to a visit to Germany in about four weeks. Mr. REID, of Sandy was called to Illinois last week to visit a sick brother, but got there too late to see him alive. We learn that Rev. George STEEL's father died on the 21st ult. He was 80 years old and lived at Scarborough, in England. On the 6th inst., Julia Anna, wife of Lewis HALL of Rock Creek, died, aged 58 years. She was an excellent lady, highly respected by her neighbors and friends. George DODSON of Dry Creek went, last Saturday, to visit his farm east of Hillsboro, when he had such a severe attack of rheumatism, that he was unable to walk and had to be hauled home on a bed. A.L. KELLOG, formerly a bootmaker at Hillsboro, is now living at AMSTERDAM, N.Y. he seems to have gotten over the election of CLEVELAND and HENDRICKS better than he expected to, as he has married again and commenced life anew.

The prizes for next Saturday evening, are two week's free admission to the rink, the prizes to be awarded by vote. A RAMBLE - Last Saturday morning our fat man, in company with Attorney THOMAS, went to Kimmswick, to witness a big law suit, set for that day before 'Squire WATERS, with J.T. FOSTER as plaintiff and one Mr. HINKE as defendant. The suit grew out of the removal of a fence by HINKE, which FOSTER claimed. A jury had been summoned the day previous, and many witnesses had put in an appearance; but as Mr. GREEN attorney for Plaintiff, was in Potosi and could not come, a continuance was taken for next Saturday. An hour or two later, the matter was compromised by defendant agreeing to move said fence back and paying the "Schmiet" - some $20- besides his lawyer's fee. While in Kimmswick we learned that Judge BOWEN had been stricken with paralysis, and was in critical condition. We also formed the acquaintance of Mr. BOWMAN, who is not only the best grocer in that town, but the boss fisherman of the county, who promised us all the sport and fish we wanted if we should ever accompany him to Murdock Lake, which offer we may accept ere long. We also met the midget stone mason of De Soto, Wm. WALTER, who is improving the dull times down hereby working in the city for $4.25 per day. George KUMMER, formerly of MEYER's hotel in De Soto, smiled upon us when we stopped into G. GUCKE's restaurant, opposite the courthouse on Market Street. At this place we met one of our schoolmates, Wm. GUNDLACH, together with three of his colaborers, all of whom are employed in the Assessor's office. In going to the northern portion of the city to see a friend, we noticed the name, George SCHIERBERG & Son, over the door of a large grocery store, on St. Louis avenue and Ninth street, and as he is an old Jefferson county man and one of our subscribers, we thought it but right to step in and squander a dime for chewing gum - that brown stuff, with a star on it. Before parting young SCHIERBERG handed us some money, with the request to keep him posted in Jefferson county news. From Kimmswick to St. Louis we rode on the local freight, not because passengers trains refuse to carry so much bulk, but because it got to St. Louis earlier in the day. The first man we saw in the caboose was George STAAT, who was on his way to see his young wife, who is in St. Louis. The next individual was Mr. FORMAN of Callaway county, who told us that Mr. NEVILLE, his partner in the stump-yanking business, was riding on top of the boxcars in order to inhale fresh air. In this he was disappointed, for when he came down into the caboose he was nearly chocked and his face was so black from the smoke of the engine that his mother would have not recognized him. In future he will leave the top of a freight to the brakeman. </HTML>
