Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Mar. 17, 1883 Mrs. E. KERN has just returned from St. Louis with a large and carefully selected spring stock of Millinery Goods, Flowers, Ribbons, Hats, Laces, Trimmings, Ladies' Neck wear &c., all of the latest styles. Call and examine goods and prices. Mr. HARRIS of Libertyville passed through town last week with a splendid young stallion, 4 years old, of the Norman breed, and a blooded calf, which he purchased somewhere in northern Ill. Mr. HARRIS is one of the most successful stock-breeders in Southeast Missouri. Valentine ROTTLER lost a valuable horse last Monday morning. It is reported that the animal had got loose in the night and had strayed to the feed box which was full of oats, and filled himself. Nobody thought that there was anyting wrong with him, until the driver came up to town, when the horse took sick and died soon after in Frank BABB's Stable yard. Willie ABERNATHY evidently makes the best of a bad bargain; we hear him render the night air thick with music, probably to scare the ghosts away that have, of late, made the streets of Ste. Genevieve dreadful to small boys and credulous women. GRAND BALL! A Grand Ball will be given at the residence of Frank KOHM, on the Fredericktown Road, on Monday, April 3d, 1883 Good cheer provided for the guests; wine, beer, &c., and the best of music. Everybody is cordially invited. Admission, 50 cents. Franz HERZOG, of the German Settlement, has opened his place to prospectors and miners. And so the developement of the Ste. Genevieve Co. Copper interests is steadily going on. There is no doubt that there is plenty of copper hidden under the soil of this county from River aux Vases to the Establishment. George SEXAUER has a wonderful lot of chickens. The cocks are always astonishing people by the ferocity with which they fight for the supremacy in the yard, and the hens create no less wonder by laying the most wonderful eggs. The other day one of the cacklers laid a double egg which however was broken before it could be secured. George is confident that the egg would have produced another kind of marvel, perhaps a pair of twins, a kind of Siamese like twins. We learn with regret that our old friend John BAUMGARTNER of the German Settlement had a lamentable accident at the Cone Mills last Tuesday. He was standing on the platform in front of the mill, and near the steps, when, his attention having been called to something, he turned quickly around, missed his footing on the steps and fell down on his right leg breaking it between the ankle and the knee. The wounded man was speedily taken to the residence of Mr. George WILL and medical assistance rendered. A burglar entered the store of the Peckham Iron Co. at Kimmswick one night lately, abstracted a wagon load of goods, and then tried to set the store on fire by putting fire into a wooden box filled with paper and rubbish. The man seems to have had bad luck; the fire wouldn't burn, and, when he passed Paul HOOG's farm the next day he misunderstood that gentleman who remarked upon a question about the state of the road: "you won't get there with your load," thinking the man threatened him. The thief drove out of the road, abandoned the team and load and escaped.
