    3. Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Jan. 20, 1883 Ste. Genevieve can boast of a miracle doctor at present who does business on an entirely new plan, keeping no apothecary, but merely prescribing and sending his patients to the Magnetic Springs. He is a peculiar empirie, inasmuch as he cures none but married men who are not blessed with families. F. SHEIBLE is a fond of eating as ever, he went to a silver wedding the other day in Jefferson county, and during the repast, ate nothing but "big fat" pies and cakes and then filled his pockets with what he did not at. -- Independent. Mr. SHEIBLE must either have the pockets of Sir Hudibras, or there must have been very little left. The following persons have donated the annexed sums towards relieving the poor suffers in Europe by the late inundations: Mary RINGWALD - $3.00 Jos. A. ERNST - $2.00 Bertholemew BURGERT - $2.00 Christian BAUM - $1.00 Charles SCHOETTLER - $1.00 Henry KNAMM - $1.00 Mr. Jules BOYER, proprietor of the lime kiln on the Plank Road, killed fourteen partridges with one shot on Friday of last week. He had observed the gang for several days previous and, seeing them alight in his Field on Friday morning, he fired at them with the above result. Only four of the flock escaped. Mr. PATTERSON, our thoroughbred Representative, is on the following committees: on accounts, on engrossed bills, and on retrenchment and reform; but we are surprised not finding his name as the chairman of any of the committees. This was otherwise when such "scrubs" as the Hon. Wm. F. COX represented our county. At a dancing party given on Jan. 7., at Mr. ROOTS house 4 miles East of DeSoto and altercation ensued, when a man by the name of FITZGERALD drew a revolver, pointing it at one of the guests, who seized his arm, pushed him back and escaped through the door. FITZGERALD rushed after him and shot at everybody in his way mortally wounding a certain McMANNUS. A short time ago, Mr. McLEAN of the Valley Mines near Avon in this county, lost two horses which ran away in company with a neighbor's mule. He searched for the missing animals, high and low, at Ste. Genevieve, at Jones Island below Chester, where he had bought one of the horses, all over Saline country and at Ste. Genevieve again, where he at last found the animals on last Sunday, and wended his way home rejoicing, on Monday. Wendelin NAEGER, a well known citizen of this county, living about 8 miles West of Ste. Genevieve, when coming from his new place - a part of the Joe. COFFMAN farm - where he had been at work, slipped on the ice and was so badly injured that he was unable to rise. Two miners, passing by, saw him and reported the mishap to his son Fred., who lives close by. Fred. took his wounded father home on a wagon. It is believed that the thigh is broken about midway between the knee and the hip.
