Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Feb. 17, 1883 Bern. SCHMIDT's son, when crossing the South Gabouri bridge, Sunday before last, came, through the shying of his horse, too near the edge of the road and, the slope being covered with ice, like everything else, the horse slid down and fell into the gully below. The space below is rather narrow, the rail fence enclosing the field beyond coming within close proximity to the wall that forms the foundation of the road at that point. The horse luckily fell between two of the posts that support the wall and no damage was done; otherwise it might have turned out to be a sad affair. Could nothing be done to mend that bad spot? That greenhorns never die out was proven the other day by the farmer Wm. BODEAN, who lives about a mile and a half South of the Cape. Some time ago, a band of gypsies camped near his place, and BODEAN went to them for remedies against his rheumatism, which were given him and, as he says, entirely freed him of his pain. The honest farmer, after this, thought a great deal of these nature doctors and, when they told him that there was much money hidden in his farm and that in order to raise it, he must bury all his money for a time, he confidingly buried $5000 in the ground. Next morning his money was gone and so were the gypsies. DeSoto is to be made a city of the fourth class. Farmers in Scottcounty are losing hogs from cholera.

Gov. CRITTENDEN won't give up his robber colonel to the Governor of Minnesota, who wants him, on the ground that he isn't through with him.
