Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Aug. 11, 1883 Next Wednesday the Catholic Church celebrates the feast of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin. 200 Bushels of Potatoes wanted by John L. BOVERIE. The deck hand that was spoken of in our last as hurt by the stage plank at this place, died before the boat reached Chester. The new livery stable on the corner of 2nd and Jefferson streets has sprung up like magic and the proprietors are ready for business. Last Wednesday night four or five fellows were observed in MENARD's garden making free with the plums. A pop from August's gun converted the company into a circus. They tumbled over the fence. Those of our citizens who may have occassion to go to St. Louis on the Sunday packets, will do best by taking the "Ste. Genevieve," as on last Monday she got to St. Louis about five hours ahead of the "Elliott." The excursion last Sunday was both a success and a failure: a success as far as the enjoyment of the participants and theit entertainment by the evansville people is concerned; a failure with regard of the number of exursionists. We haven't heard a single one of those who were of the party who did not express his admiration of the cordial and hospitable manner in which the people of Evansville received and treated their guests. At the celebration of "colored holiday," last Saturday the barkeeper got into an altercation about a quarter and a 20 cent piece with another "cult'd gemm'n," in the course of which the former had to defend himself with a hatchet. His assailant went and borrowed a pistol, with shich he returned to the charge. The sheriff, hearing of the rumpus, went down with the city marshal and each one brought up his man. They were put into the calaboose for want of a $100 bond and release Monday upon payment of $36 a piece.
