It is seldom that our people are treat- ed to the sight of a “ Wild-man ” chas- , ing a train through our streets, yet such was the case last Saturday even- ing, when a “ Wild-man,” who is em- ployed at the N orwalk Iron works,_de- layed so long to implore the forgive- ness of a certain employee at the office that he missed his train, and tore up the street in a mad endeavor to catch a ride on the switch engine which was passing at the time.

The prize of $5 for the handsomest gentleman’s costume was captured by Gus Fields, and Meyer Farrington won the $5 prize for the most comical cos- tume.

Pretty boxes and odors are used to sell such soaps as no one would touch if he saw them un- disguised. Beware of a ' soap that depends on something outside of it. Pears’, the finest soap in the world is scented or not, as you wish; and the money is in the merchan- dise, not in the box. All sorts of stores sell it, especially druggists; all sorts of people are " using it. ' JAMES 11:1ng}, Auctioneer Adjourned AUCTION SALE!

Come, good people, come, and list’ to the butcher’s 'song! We’er told that men have lived, who could’nt possibly do wrong, And that in this town are butchers who never sold tough meat, Who never told a lie, and whose voice and smiles are sweet. There are some so tender hearted, that for fear you’ll choke with thirst, They’ll direct you to a beer saloon, now isn’t that the very worst? Beer makes folks tired, I’m told, let’s hope the butchers aren’t so; Just ask them, if you will, if they think that we are snow; We’ve been there many a time, and though sad the tale, WE sum, _ And of butchers either up, down, (or across the street) dear friends we’re not afraid.
