Drysdale and family went out to Virginia the latter part of last week to attend the 80th anniversary of Mr Drysdale’s father. The old gentleman is still hale and hearty and active for a man of his age. A communication from Pleasant Gap consigned te the waste basket because not accompanied by the writer’s name. This we insist upon, the name of the writer at all times, not for publication, but as an evi- dence of good faith. About twenty-five couples had a nice time at the lake Friday evening picnicing. They went down about 6 o'clock and remained until 10:30. One of the pleasant features of the occasion was a magnificent spread by the young ladies. A prospect hole at Merwin is being drilled. At 200 feet the drill passed through a vein of coal three feet thick. It is said a deposit of gas and oil has also been tapped, and the company are quite jubilant over their find. To extend the new proposed rail- road line from Eldorado Springs to Nevada Col. McPherson only asked the Nevada people for $20,000 and the right of way.

It will be one of the neatest homes in Butler. 1 Newt Boyce a 17-year old boy liv- ing near Nevada dislocated his jaw the other day while in a fit of laugh- ter. He was away from home at the time his mouth locked wide open. His father attempted to relieye him but failed and the young man hadto ride te Neyada fora physician before getting relief. Gee. M. Canterbury informs us that the Rebert Shannon, wanted in Kansas City for deserting his young wife, an account of which was pub- nen whe formerly boys, Frank and Bob, while the police were locking fer the other Stannens. The government gauge reported it to be the hardest rain ever witnessed in At Rich Hill Saturday no contest for delegates to the county convea- tien toek place. But one set of names were presented and they were elected without epposition. The report of the conventien in the Review docs net state how they stocd, but from the names of the delegates selected we judge the delegation is solid for free silver. The rain sterm which passed over Butler Saturday night, was a regu- lar down pour—a gully washer. The rain was accompanied by hail, or | throwing stones against them. We jbave it from several persons that after the hail had ceased to fall they went into their yards and picked up stones as large as hen eggs.

Jesse Lukenbill, holding a position in the tailoring department at the penitentiary, is spending the week in this city visiting his parents and many friends. He reports every- thing moving along smoothly at the penitentiary. Col. Pace is kept busy looking after the new build- ings being erected at the peniten- tiary and repairs made. By an advertisement in another column, County Clerk Crawford gives notice that there will be a com- petative examination for free scholar- ship in any department of the State University, held at the Court House on Monday, August 5th, next. This applies te persons whose parents are unable, financially, to pay tuition board, ete. The law enacted was by the last Legislature. J. Bowman Fiecklin, of Columbia, o., and Mies Belle McClement were united in marriage at the home and D. A. Colyer placed in nomina- tion T. D. Rafter as champion of the “sound money” cause.
