Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Dec. 30, 1882 HAPPY NEW YEAR! The E.C. Elliot made a trip again this week. We hear that Rev. GROSHOLZ of Lawrenceton has left. Leon HERZOG bought a fat hog of August GISI this week and paid just $25 for it. A friend want to know what we think of a man whose father was a count. If the man himself is no count, his father won't make the case any better. Next Tuesday is Ste. Genevieve's day. The fact that Ste. Genevieve is one of the oldest towns on the Mississippi is no reason why she should not celebrate the day of her Patron Saint. Our friend BABB was in a tight place last Thursday morning, having been called upon to prove the age of a young lady, we presume, for matrimonial purposes. A young lady's age is hard to prove under any circumstances, but when a modest young man like Frank is called upom to do it, it becomes almost an impossibility. A report circulated in town last Saturday that Fritz KRUSE had been shot and killed. Mr. A.C. HERTICH who had seen a letter, written by Jake KRUSE to his mother, tell us that the letter stated that Fritz had got into a difficulty with a young man at Cairo, was shot in the head and not expected to live. No news has been received since. Another of our German farmers is going to bid adieu to old Ste. Genevieve. Gotfried BASLER has sold his farm for $3700 and will move to Salisbury whither his neighbor Joe HUCK preceded him last year. A man hailing from Jefferson County and giving his name as ECKENFELS, shot at a dog in town last Saturday night. He was taken before His Honor, the Mayor, who fined him $5.00 as a loaded pistol was found on his person. Frank BABB was going to fix himself up for Christmas and for that purpose ordered a pair of extra fine boots at Frank KLEIN's shop. But man proposes and God disposes. Somebody else thought he needed a pair of boots for winter, entered the shop at night, and took them for a Christmas gift. Nobel SHAFER was arrested in St. Louis last week upon a warrant sworn out against him by Pat. CUMMINGS. Pat then came down and informed Sheriff NAUMAN who went up to the city on Saturday last to secure the bird and place him into jail here to await his trial. SHAFER is charged with having set fire to Pat CUMMINGS's house. A party of high life gentlemen is reported to have had a very merry time of it on Christmas Eve, yea so merry that, when they sought their respective domiciles towards morning, they thought the streets of Ste. Genevieve entirely too narrow and swore to sue the city for damages. Several have their faces ornamented by patches of court-plaster. Our young friend, Bern. JACOBS had helped kill hogs at A. JENTZ's Thursday last week and was engaging in trimming the meat for pickling, when his knife slipped and entered his leg just above the knee. He was so exhausted through loss of blood that by the time the doctor came, the poor man lay like one dead. It is thought that his limb will be stiff for life as several tendons are cut.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Dec. 23, 1882 H.C. READER of St. Francois county and Lucy J. PINKSTON of Ste. Genevieve county were married on the 12th, at the residence of the officiating clergyman, Rev. A. RUCKER. Our old friend and colleague, D. GEHRING, formerly of the Plank Road School, who now wields the rod at Quarrytown, left this week for DeSoto where his family resides, to attend his daughter Mary's wedding, which is to take place there during Christmas week. The bridegroom is Mr. GORHAM, employed as engineer on the Iron Mountain Rail Road. Our sincerest wishes belong to the happy couple, and we hope that their matrimonial path may be a smooth one.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Dec. 23, 1882 Rudolph KESSLER, died at his residence, in the Flatwoods, Sunday, Dec. 10. Mrs. DORLAC died of winter fever on Friday last week. The remains were taken for interment to the River aux Vases where her relations reside. Charles LAROSE, who has been living at the County Farm ever since its establishment and was well known in town, died at that public institution last Saturday morning at three o'clock. The superintendent tell us that Charles was suffering all day Friday from severe attacks of spasms, from which he has been afflicted for a long time, and was choked in one of them. As the mother required the remains be brought to her house, the superintendent had them transferred to her place on the Plank Road, from where they were interred Sunday afternoon.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Dec. 23, 1882 We hear that Bern. BAUMAN has erected quite and elegant residence on his place a few miles South West of Ste. Genevieve. The case in the Madison county circuit court of the State vs. Hy. HORN for murder, was continued till the next regular term, on account of the defendant's sickness. Jack COAL's donkey is a smartie. This week he conceived a notion to take a walk by himself without even informing the "boss". Jack COAL forthwith became inconsolable, thinking his mool had run away, and offered $20 reward for the apprehension of the same. His donkeyship must have found it out, and came back of his own accord. Jack owes the rascal 40 bushels of corn. Our friend Jack HOOG had a very narrow escape of being hurt by his mule on Saturday evening last. Somehow the animal seemed to have gotten the notion into his head that it wasn't yet time to go home and in his protest plied his heels in a most vigorous manner, tearing the clothes off our friend's body, but inflicting no further injury that we could hear of. Certainly the milk of human kindness which is so characteristic of Jacob, and which he displayed so admirably in this emergency, saved him from a worse fate. GRAND BALL A Grand Ball will be given on Tuesday, Dec. 26th, at Frank KOHLMAN's (the old STOCKER place). Splendid music has been secured for the occassion, and refreshments of all kinds will be served in abundance. Everybody is invited to attend and have a good time. The entertainment on Wednesday and Thursday night next is for the benefit of the poor and it is to be hoped that the amusement-loving public will attend en masse and help a noble cause.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Dec. 23, 1882 We hear that the drove of fat hogs that came into town this week brought $6.50 per hundred. Our butchers are very busy at present, as fat hogs come to town nearly everyday in droves. There seems to be no very great scarcity of them "May I go out to skate, mamma?" "Not yet, my darling daughter; The ice is thin -- it would be a sin To freeze you in the water." KNOEPFLE, the barkeeper for HOFFMANN, proprietor of the DeSoto Hotel, who recently robbed his employer of $700, but was captured at Victoria and promptly returned the money, is believed by some to be insane. J.G. KAMMERER has made a street-lamp for William PALMER, to plant before his new store on the Plank Road, and it shines as bright as a Christmas tree whenever it is lighted. Don't forget to light it, William. A masquerade ball will be given some time after the Holidays. All those who feel and interest in the undertaking are invited to attend a meeting to be held next Tuesday night at the Union Hall, for the purpose of considering the subject. The BURLESON tragedy in Chester has assumed a very mysterious aspect. There are no witnesses except the parties involved, and the husband says the wife cut his throat and then hers, and the wife says he cut her throat and then his. It is questionable whether the true status will ever be known. Joe. JOKERST jr., was very near being killed at the Cone Mills this week. He was passing through the lower story, when a piece of joist two feet long, and a pretty heavy one at that, dropped from a height of about 40 feet, alighting on the crown of his head. His cap prevented his skull from being fractured, but a very painful wound was inflicted nevertheless. The steamer "Mattie Bell" ran on a snag near Rush Tower, Friday night, last week, and had to run up-on a sandbar. The passengers from Ste. Genevieve were taken to Brickey's Landing by the Str. Powell, and there procured a vehicle on Saturday morning to take them to their homes. Among the passengers were Henry L. ROZIER, Anthony and Constance ROZIER, Mrs. ZEISER and her daughter Katie with little Edw. BELTRAMI. If Tony ROZIER isn't a little hero, there is none. He was on the "Mattie Bell" when that steamer ran against a snag last week, and, though weighed down with two baskets and a satchel, wanted to walk the whole long way from BRICKEY's home, and would have executed his design if Mr. Hy. L. ROZIER had permitted him to do so. Plucky little man.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Dec. 16, 1882 Mrs. HOLLY, an old lady who has been living in RAABE's house for some time, died Wednesday morning at six o'clock, of consumption. She was about 50 years old. DIED: On Thursday, Dec. 14th, at 4 o'clock a.m., Caroline ECKERT, daughter of Anton and Magdalen ECKERT, aged 5 years, 1 month and 13 days, of Peudo Croup. Her remains were interred on Friday last. DIED: On Wednesday, Dec. 13, Josie SCHERER, son of John SCHERER, aged two years and one half, of croup. The funeral took place on Thursday.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Dec. 16, 1882 L.D. THURMAN is in the Christman tree line. He has 500 pine tops at the landing, waiting their shipment, which was delayed by the ice in the river. Mr. THURMAN has been out in the pinery again this week to gather more which he intends to ship by the Iron Mountain R.R. from DeLassus. A. SCHMELZLE, one of the men who helped at the new graveyard road lost one of his horses one day last week. A subscription list was made up for him, which was in a very short time covered with names of benevolent people who were willing to contribute towards indemnifying the poor man for his loss. Porkers have a hard time of it at present and butcher knives are in great demand. What is the matter with some of our street lanterns? Egyptian darkness reigns at every return of the new moon. The ice harvest was going on quite lively last week. Messrs. VORST, NAUMAN and others gathering with all their might, for fear of being left in the lurch by the mild winter predicted by Gen. HAZEN. The Perryville Sun says it wasn't Mr. JAEGER who was robbed on the Perryville and St. Mary road as was stated in the Herald two weeks ago, but Mr. James MUNSON claims to have been robbed of that sum near St. Mary's Seminary, Perry Co. Louis MOSER while sawing ice for Mr. Nauman last Saturday, near BANTZ's place, broke through the rather thin crust and took and unwilling bath in the chilly water. A kind neighbor having furnished him dry clothes to go home in, he wended his way home rejoicing that no further harm was done. Will ABERNATHY, the young fellow who is so handy with the harmonica and no less so with taking and selling other people's horses, was caught in Claryville, Mo., opposite Chester, last Monday night, brought to town, and lodged in jail. His music sounds better than ever and his wily tongue runs smoother than ever to the judge by the pity with which the boys supplied him with dainties, through the bars and took in the stories he invented for them. Jerome CULVER was riding down Main Street Monday night, when his horse shied at the light shining from Chas. BIEL's store. Unaware of the circumstance that one of his bridle reins was broken, he tried to check the horse and pulled the animal rather abruptly to one side, bringing it down on the body of Lewis SKEWES, who was passing near, hurting him severely. As far as we could hear, Mr. CULVER is not to blame for the accident. Last Friday week, when Joseph BUEHLER was playing with his big watchdog around the back porch of the house, the animal ran at him with such force as to knock him down. Unfortunately, he fell with his leg under him and broke it near the knee. When the doctor set the fractured limb and secured it in splints, Joe bore it like a little hero, never muttering a groan. The grand-jury of St. Francois county has pronounced the county's rickety old court house unfit and unsafe to hold court in. Each Co. in South-east Missouri that intends soon to build a new court-house should come and take a look at old Girardeau's splendid and imposing capitol building - the finest south of St. Louis. It cost thousands of dollars to build. -- Cash Book. Won't our County Court go down to Jackson, Cape Girardeau co. some time and take a look at that capitol, or, if they must be saving, get a photograph of it?

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Dec. 9, 1882 Old man LINDERER, a well known German farmer of the "Settlement", died last Sunday afternoon at the age about 76 years. The funeral took place on Tuesday morning. Chas. KRIBS, a well-to-do German farmer of Prairie DuRocher, was out picking pecans the other day, accompanied by his wife and several children. He sent his wife and the boys to one side while he himself selected another. When the children had filled their sacks, the mother told one of the boys to get the sack which his father had gathered so that they could go home. The boy walked up to the place where he had left his father a short time ago and found him lying by the side of the filled sack stark and dead. The doctor pronounced it a case of heart disease. DIED: Saturday, Dec. 2nd, at 4 o'clock A.M., John GOSS, of Ottawa, Kansas, aged 84 years. The deceased had been living in Kansas for the last five years but, feeling that his end was near, came to Ste. Genevieve to die among his relations.

Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Dec. 9, 1882 Mrs. John G. RUDOLPH sells all her personal effects to-day, preparatory to moving to Cincinnati. A dog that has to be carried to the chase will catch no rabbits, and the man that must be taught the holiness of the Sabbath by a policeman, will never be a christian. The city bonds for the new rock road were sold last week to the following purchasers: Lou. SCHOETTLER - 1 H. GROBE - 2 Michael KNAMM - 5 Henry L. ROZIER - 5 Zor BOZIER - 12 They netted $2523. Valentine ROTTLER's first beer of this season made it's appearance last week, and was hailed with delight by many connoisseurs. Valentine can brew as good beer as any one, and the new brewery, with its splendid facilities for making first-class malt is a guarantee that he will be able to manufacture a splendid quality of lager. About two weeks ago, there died at Chicago a Negro woman named Louise C. ANDREWS at the unusual high age of 103 years. She was born at Potorloo(?) on the island of Haiti, came to the United States when she was 12 years old, was married at Ste. Genevieve, Mo., and became mother of 12 children. Her first husband, JACKSON sold her for $200 to a St. Louis lawyer who gave her her liberty three years after. In 1852 she came to Chicago and was married to John ANDREWS who died seven years later. All her children were born as slaves. Mrs. Andrews was always enjoying the best of health. The death is announced from the western coast of Africa of King OMORA. He leaves seven hundred widows. Of his ninety-five children, seventy-five are still alive. His oldest son has four hundred wives.
