Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Feb. 10, 1883 Rev. F.X. WEISS has been confined to his room for several days by sickness. He was unable to hold service last Sunday and Father HETTLER of Bloomsdale acted as substitute at the burial of Mrs. BARISIEN, who died lately, last Monday. Mr. W.M. FELTUS, agent for Story & Camp, St. Louis, was made the victim, Saturday last, of a sneak thief. His overcoat was stolen from the coat rack of the Madison House office. The coat was nearly new and worth about $25.00. -- Fredericktown Plaindealer. On Sunday before last the Kimmswick House, a saloon and the house of Michael ZIEGLER, at Kimmswick, on the Iron Mountain Roads burned to the ground. All the property destroyed was owned by the Heirs of Capt. ZIEGLER. Loss about $3,000, insurance about $2,200. Jacob HOOG says God Almighty is the best road overseer that ever was; whenever he takes a job he does his work thoroughly. His thunder and lightening of last week put all the roads in the county into excellent condition for sleighs and sharp shod horses, and there isn't a bit of mud to be seen. Ground-hog-day ushered in very bad weather, commencing with thunder and lightening and torrents of rain concluding with more thunder and lightening and plenty of sleet, in consequence of which the streets were in excellent condition for sleighing and skating on Sunday. Miles FARRAR, the postmaster of Marquand, Mo., who so mysteriously disappeared last fall with a considerable sum of money not his own, has been caught at Galveston, Texas. Wm. MATHIS of Madison county, who became his successor as postmaster, caused his arrest. Messrs. Albert A. TUCKER, Ken. CISSELL, Ferd. CISSELL, Vine. CISSELL, Dor. BREWER, and Misses Francis CISSELL, Louisa BREWER, and Alice BREWER, all of Brewersville, Perry Co., came to town on a sleighing expedition, took their dinner at the Southern, and departed again the same afternoon in high glee. Ignatius LINDERER's boy came to town last Tuesday with several rabbits which he wanted to dispose of. When out in the woods he saw a catlike animal, long of body, short of legs, having a long tail and black and gray spotted hide, coming toward him. The young man believes it to have been a panther, but is not certain, never having seen such an animal before. He made his way to town in double quick time. On Sunday night Jan. 28., the post office at Ironton, this state, was burglarized, and fourty dollars worth of property was carried off. THE GIRL WHO WEARS BANGS An exchange truthfully says: "Bangs on a girl give her an unruly look, like a cow with a board over her face. You take the gentlest cow in the world and put a board over her face and turn her out in the pasture, and she will get the reputation of being unruly, and one would swear she would jump fences and raise merry hades, and she couldn't be sold for $10, only for beef. It is so with a girl. If she wears her hair up high on her forehead, or brushes, or frizzes and has a good look, you will go your bottom dollar on her, and you feel that she is as good as gold, and that when she tells you that she loves you there is no discount on it or danger of looking back. But you take the same girl with her front hair banged, and when she looks at you, you feel as if she would hook, and you are afraid to trust her. She has a fence jumping look that makes a young man feel as though he wouldn't be safe unless she was tied hand and foot so she couldn't get out of the pasture. A girl with bangs may try to be good and true, but it's awful hard work.
