He was cooled off in the trough by the spring. J. Ed. WALKER was cleaning some poison ivy out of his garden, one day last week, and had his face and hands severely poisoned. He has been laid up ever since. The shortness of J.J. WILSON's ramble, this week, may be properly laid to the sudden appearance at his house of a little miss, who claims his undivided attention for the present. LICENSED TO MARRY - Joseph GAUS and Maria A. GOLDSTER, John RAINS and Emily MEDLEY, George D. WILLIAMS and Olive BELEW, William PINSON and Clara RYAN, John W. WIDEMAN and Emma GAMBLE. George W.

His death was reported by Dr. PRITCHARD of Valle Mines. >From two sources we have detailed information of a terrible rain storm which visited Rock Township on the 19th ultimo., Rock Creek and a branch, called Blackwater, were higher than ever known before, sweeping away fences and crops, and in many places washing off the ground as deep as it had been plowed. Mrs. GEIB, Judge SECKMANN and Messrs. NEFF, EDINGER, BAUM, HALL, BURGHARD, RASCH, PFIEL, BECKER, RUSS, HUNT, MILLER and others losing heavily in fences, crops and ground. The county bridges across Prairie Hollow and at Joseph ZIEGELIMEYER's were washed completely away. A wind storm on the evening of the 15th, did great damage to fruit and other trees, near Maxville, and blew down Mr. TENBROOK's large barn; also a haybarn of George KRAEMER's and a stable for Fred WAGNER. The losses by the rain storm are severely felt by the victims, some of whom are almost completely discouraged from farming. There was a quiet wedding in our neighborhood on the 28th of May, the contracting parties being Levi W. LUCAS and Miss Lucy DAVIS, Rev. S. MEDLEY performing the ceremony. The pair has our kindest wishes for their future success and happiness. T.M. Dr. WILLIAMS has gone to Ohio on a visit to relatives, and Dr. GUIBOR is in St.Louis under medical treatment; therefore, our town is destitute of a physician for the time being. Alf. STEWART's daughter and daughter-in-law from Texas are here on a visit. DEATHS and BIRTHS - The following deaths were filed with the County Clerk the past week: Date Name Age May 15 Rosa L.
