    3. Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, 30 Sept 1882 I will stand my stallion on my farm from Oct. 1 to Nov. 31. Jos. FLIEG John SCHMIEDERER has sold his place North of Maxvell's Hill to Anton SCHLATTMAN for $900. Charles BURGERT was badly bruised upon Thursday last, while trying to shoe the horse of Louis COTOIS. Geo. KUHN, who has heretofore lived on the old STOKER place, has bought Corn. ARNOLD's place, we hear, for about $1700. There is a good prospect of copper on Wendlin NAGER's place in New Offenburg. Mr. CHAMBERLAIN has sunk a shaft there, 100 ft. deep. Fine specimens have also been found at Nich. GRIESHABER's, at Phil. STAAB's and at John WEILER's. Monsieur BASILE was doubtful how to find vent for his exuberant spirits on Sunday evening and, having an opportunity to show his proficiency in wrestling, did it so well that he fell on his knee, hurting it severely. He ought to fall on his heel the next time. On the 9th of October our old town will witness quite an exodus as the trial F. BABB vs. C. ROY will come off at Perryville on that day. The sheriff, several lawyers, witnesses, etc., summonded to appear at Perryville, will leave the town to the mercy of the ladies. Last Saturday some young men amused themselves at the copper mines with acting "William Tell shooting at the apple". Apples being considered somewhat too small a hat substituted, not exactly on the head of a boy, but in the hand of a young man. The marksman not being a Tell, hit the finger of the young man that held up the hat. Mr. CREMORE is said to have purchased a cow of Capt. THOMSON, which is quite a curiosity. Five legs, 3 horns, 2 mouths, and 2 tails should be attractive enough for BARNUM himself. (Rest of the article is missing.) JAMESISM IN PERRY COUNTY On Saturday evening, Sept. 16th, four ment entered the house of Abel SWAN, a farmer residing about 1 mile frm Wittemberg, with the intent of getting his money for this year's wheat crop. As Mr. SWAN recognized some of them and addressed them quite familiarly, telling them that they could take his life but not his money, they became frightened and left without accomplishing their purpose. One of the gang, Jno. McDOWAL has been arrested and is now in jail. PICNIC AND BALL On Monday, October 2, 1882, F. SCHIRMANN will arrange a Grand Picnic near the River aux Vases bridge. The picnic will conclude with a dance at the Quarry House in the evening. Good music, excellent beer, and other refreshments, also entertainments of various kinds will be provided. Candidates, this will perhaps be the last chance of seeing your friends before the election. Everyone is cordially invited to attend.
