Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, June 30, 1883 Mr. Jos. BIESER of New Offenburg, while riding home from Jos. VAETH's blacksmith's shop on the Plank Road last Tuesday, fell from his horse and broke his left arm close above the wrist. Mr. S.B. DONZE took him to Dr. KRATZSCH's office where the wounded man received the necessary attention. The following change has been made on the postal route between DeSoto and Ste. Genevieve: Leave Ste. Genevieve Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 1 P.M.; arrive at DeSoto by 12 M next day; leave DeSoto Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 1 P.M.; arrive at Ste. Genevieve by 12 M next day. The storm of Thursday morning before last played havoc with William SIEBERT of Lawrenceton, taking the roofs with several rounds of logs off his barn and granary and uprooting a great deal of valuable timber. What of his wheat crop had been spared by the Hessian fly and the severe frosts of last winter was laid low by the storm. There is a movement on foot to hold a meeting of the property holders and renters of the Big Field on the 8th of July for the purpose of considering the expediency of erecting cams along the bottom lands from further inundations. This is a laudable enterprise and ought to be responded to by all who are interested in the saving of the low lands from the ravages of the water, now too frequently occurring. The 4th of July celebration and picnic in ROZIER's Grove, inaugurated by the Progressive Cornet Band, promises to be a grand success in every way as it deserves to be. The festival will begin with a grand parade through the streets in the morning and the picnic grounds will be made the scene of a match game of base ball between the Ste. Genevieve boys and a club from St. Louis, in the afternoon. The excursion boat "Chas. P. Chouteau," is expected from St. Louis. All who are desirous of enjoying the 4th to their hearts' content, shold attend this celebration. They will never regret it. Come one! Come all! Someone wants to know who is the highest officer, a sheriff acting as a deputy constable or a constable acting as a deputy sheriff. We do not claim any knowledge of the laws of etiquette but would suggest that if both act as such deputies at the same time, there can be no doubt that the right of precedency is on the side of the constable. At Harrisonville, Ill., the graveyard was caving in at a rapid rate last week. A few years ago, this graveyard was many rods distant from the river bank, but the river has made such inroad of late that it has at last reached the silent resting place of the departed. It was reported that the grave of Mr. HARLOWE, the founder of the place, was in danger of being swallowed by the hungry element in Thursday last week. The same state of affairs is to be observed all along the bottom fields of the Mo. side.
