Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Jan. 13, 1883 Mr. Clay ZIEGLER left for St. Louis yesterday with a large drove of cattle. The proposed rockroad from Perryville to Claryville, opposite Chester, requires $13,000 Stock subscription before the company can be incorporated. Mr. Felix H. JANIS has been appointed as County Commissioner of Public Schools to fill the unexpired term of Mr. C.C. KERLAGON, the new County Clerk. The river road must be in a terrible condition. On the 5th the Chester mail was carried into town on the forehalf of a wagon and last Monday there was no mail at all. We call the attention of our readers to the sale of the BASLER property on third street, North of North Gabouri Creek, which will occur on Saturday, Jan. 27th. The Burks School House in the Western part of this county, about 6 miles from Farmington burned down Tuesday the 2nd inst. A defective flue is said to have been the cause of the fire. The building was insured for $300. A party of young nimrods were converted into fisher-men one day this week, without any witchcraft. Crossing the slough, they saw the water crowded with fish & concluded to lay down their shooting irons, beat the ice open with their heels and their labors were rewarded with a plentiful catch. We refer our readers to the advertisment of A.C. HERTICH in another column, who has opened an office in the GUIGNON building adjoining Dr. CARSSOW's drugstore on the west side. He will be assisted in all Circuit and Supreme Court cases by J. Perry JOHNSON, of Fredericktown, Mo. On Wednesday, Jan. 3, Peter SCHWARTZ sent his son and the hired man, Adolph BAUMAN, to New Tennessee to get a horse-power. On their way home, BAUMAN lost his balance and fell head foremost from the horse-power, the hind wheel of the wagon passing over both his legs and breaking the right one below the knee. Dr. CARSSOW dressed the wound ahd the patient is doing well. Mr. Jos. FLYNN lectured at Union Hall last Thursday night on the Prohibition question. We are sorry that we were unable to attend but we understand that there was a good audience which might have been expected. Next Thursday night Dr. BERNAYS will give a lecture on Chemistry of Common things, which the learned gentleman will certainly make an interesting one. The hall will be comfortably heated. Ladies are specially invited to attend. Admission, 10 cents. We hear that one of our young aquaintances had quite a slide last Wednesday.. He had gone out on the slough to help cut ice, when the wind which blew rather a cutting blast at the time, threw him down, carried him a long distance on the smooth ice, and landed him at the Big Field. A slide on the ice is sport, especially when it can be done in a sitting position, but Jerome must have not felt very comfortable at any rate, for he remarked that for his next ride he would first have some rough shoeing done. GRAND BALL On Monday, Jan. 29, at Andrew WIPFLER"S. Everybody is respectfully invited. Admission, 50 cts.
