some time, but was not considered dangerously sick till late Thursday
evening. She was buried at the Kimmswick graveyard on Sunday morning.
The funeral procession was very large. The late Mrs. BULLIS was a very

After the ceremony the guests rode off to the residence of the
bride's father, Mr. Thomas BUCKLEY, where a sumptuous dinner awaited
them. The guests numbered nearly two hundred, including all ages and
sexes, as the invitations, were not sent to only the young people. The
ladies are enthusiastic in their praise of the bride's costume, and some
of the gentlemen have volunteered to inform us that the groom looked
well and also dressed well. They have our best wishes for their future
prosperity and happiness. A FRIEND.

CHAPPELLE, a teacher in the Caledonia high school.

Henry POST was committed to jail last Friday by Esq. WARNE, in default
of $300 bail. the charge against Henry is maliciously killing a horse
belonging to R.H. NEWBERRY. He will probably furnish bail soon.

The friends of Mr. and Mrs. Adam HAESSEL met last Thursday evening and
assisted them in celebrating their Crystal wedding, carrying along many
presents, useful as well as ornamental. It was a surprise to Mr. and
Mrs. H., but their visitors were thoughtful enough to bring along a good
stock of refreshments, and the evening was spent in a pleasant manner.

youthful resident of this place but now of Pekin, Ills., is, accompanied
by his lady, visiting his relatives in this vicinity.

Mrs. BECKER, of New York, who was also a resident of this place in her
girlhood days, is visiting friends in and around town.

are there from this place.

While at Hillsboro we met Chas. PARKER, who has just returned from
Colorado. He is stopping for the present at VOLLMAR's, where his
friends can find him.

FRIDAY, 2 JULY 1880.

Old Mrs. HARLEY died last week, in St. Louis county. Her remains were
brought to this county, near her old home, and buried.

Mr. Joseph WEBBLES and Miss Hannah HAMILTON, both of Sandy, were married
on the 23d of June. We were not informed as to whom officiated.

Augusta May Caroline BENDER, infant daughter of William and Augusta
BENDER, of Maxville, died June 28, of summer complaint, ages six months.

Mr. Samuel MEDLEY, of Belew's Creek has nearly lost the use of his left
arm and leg, from rheumatism. He has been suffering with it for some
months, but he is still able to get around.

P.T. HUNT, Esq., for twenty-one years a resident of Jefferson county,
died at his residence in Big River township on the 1st of June, aged
69. He leaves a widow and eight children. Mr. HUNT was a natural
mechanic -- his genius for manufacturing articles of wood or metal,
often attracted attention.

J.T. McMULLIN, Sr., our paternal relative met with a painful accident
last week. He was riding along when a dizziness or fainting spell came
over him and he fell, pulling the horse over onto him. One arm,
shoulder and side were badly bruised, and one ankle badly sprained, but
he managed to crawl to a house, where he got assistance.

Mr. STEERMAN, near House's Springs, was run over the other day by a
reaper, and had one leg broken in two places and his hand badly mashed.
He was still living at last accounts, but thought to be dangerously wounded.

Since the above was in type we hear that Mr. STEERMAN is dead, he having
only survived his injuries a day or two.

De Soto will probably pass 1880 without John SMITH's boy, which arrived
one day too late.

John TOOLE, formerly in charge of the gravel train at this place, now
roadmaster of the Cairo division, had his little son die at Charleston.
It was brought here for burial.
