Chkl?T5ias Ball. The seventh annual
ball of Albany Engine Co. No. 1, will be
givee at the Pacific Opera House on Fri
day evening, December 24, 1373. Onestcr's
always give elegant ball's, and the coming
will be no exception to the general rule.
The hall will be elegantly decorated this
evening, good music will be in attendance,
and the goose will be elevated, generally.
We bow our acknowledgments to the Sec
retary of the Co., Sig. Fox, for a couipli
mentaryr The Le-wis Brothers Gave two en
tertainments at the Opera House in 'this
city, the last being on Monday night. The
show on Saturday night was well attended
ball crowded. The entertainment was
rather miscellaneous, but very interesting,
and the audience enjoyed it hugely. Chas.
Weeks, Robt. Foster and Wm. Queener
were duly mesmerized, and afforded much
fun for the audience. We believe our folks
generally pronounce the show the best ever
in tbe city. ' .
Aid Society Election. At the election
for officers of the Ladies' Aid Society, held
at Mrs. Jas. H. Foster's a few day3 ago.
Mrs. Backensto was re-elected President ;
Mrs. L. Houck, Vice President : Mrs. M.
V.Brown, Secretary; Mrs. Walter Mon
teith. Treasurer. The next meeting of the
society will fce held at Mrs. G. W. Gray's
on the first Thursday in January, 1876,
which will be the Cth. The Society has
been ably managed in the past, and has
done a noble work. God prosper the ladies
in their charitable endeavors to ameliorate
the condition of tho poor and needy among
us.
Honorably Acquitted. Last week we
announced the arrest ot Mr. Frank Jack,
accused of maliciously destroying the lences
otE. Ridemour, near Brownsville. The
trial came off before Justice Hannon, in
this ciiy, on Saturday, last. . It seems Mr,
Jack is the, mail carrier between Browns
ville and Halsey. The road passing Mr.
R's farm was so bad tliat Mr. Jack found it
almost impossible to get through with the
stage, and ho simply let down the fences
and passed through Mr. R's fields. The
jury found no difficulty in bringing in a
verdict of, acquittal. s ' ; .
Died. Mr. Demas Beach, who has been
confined to his bouse so many long, weary
mouths with cancer of the lip, was freed
from his sufferings about 7 o'clock on Tues
day morning last. Mr. Beach was an old
and much esteemed resident of this city,
and leaves a wife and large family to mourn
the loss of aJiithful husband and .an effec
tionate fatUa. ..The family have the sincere
sympathy of the entire community. The
Odd Fellow,' of which Mr. Beach was a
worthy member, both of the Encampment
and subordinate lodge, will take charge of
the funeral ceremonies. 4
The erowd'at'tlie Opera House Monday
night to see and hear the Lewis Bros. Cul
mination was simply immense. The music
was the very best, the tricks were performed
n tho highest style bfthe 'black art," and
the "mesmerism was way up. The per
formances should be seen to be appreciated.
A Grand Union Sunday School Meet

Schools of tlie city are invited to join in a
grand reunion meeting at tho M. E. Church
South, at 9 o'clock a. m. on Sunday next.

of the city, it Ls hoped there will be a large
attendance, V1 "- " ' ' J"

tne town ciock st rue k 6i.v. 1 it was
time for supper. All the men threw
down their tools, and ran and put on
their outer clothing.
"Be back in half an hour, sharp!"
cried the forgemaster. We shall make
the cast at a quarter to seven."
"All right, sir I" cried the men in
response.
"I hear some of the town folks are
coming down to see the work." said
one.
'.'Yes," said another, "and it'll be
something to open -their eyes. There
was never such a bell cast in the whole
btate as this one will be."
In a moment more only one workman
and the master wereleft in the foundry.

"blast." lie had brought a double al
lowance ot dinner, and he would make
a supper of what remained.
"Perhaps we cau get the 'inventor'
to stay with you, George," said the
master, laughing, as he prepared to go.
"Yes, where' is he?" returned the
man in the same jesting tone.
"He's been around the works a long
time, long enough to know when any
thing goes wrong. Hello! hello! I
ay ! Where's the inventor ? Come
here. Ah, there he is." And in silent
answer to tlie summons a shock-haired
fe low, with large gray eyes, and a pale
vacant face, appeared liom behind a
pile of castings. He had on his baek
a gray shirt, much soiled with dust, and
he wore a pair of huge pantaloons, held
up by a single suspendtir.
" ell, Moons." quoth the man
George, slapping him rather roughly on
the shoulder; "suppose you've yot wit
enough to help yell if any thing's the
matter?"
The young fellow looked stupidly
around and nodded his head.

was a remnant ot a once bright mind

unusual way he would always notice it,
ana say what ought to be done, tho-ich
he could not tell, perhaps, why it ought
to ue done. i
Two years before he had been an in
telligent, promising lad. He was the
son of a designer connected with the
touudry company, and had always been
allowed iree access to the shops, and to
mingle with the men and watch their
work. lint one day a great lifting chain

Ine peculiar trait in the Younc fellow

"Inventor.'' All the men felt ; a sreat

harsh and impatient. : , , ; ;
feuch was the person left to helD
watch the great blast for tlie castiner of

Faithfully he kept his place before ; the

at a little distance and began to eat his

The lynching of two brothers! Amos-!
and Isaiah Courtwright, near Milwau-ii
Ree, was an unusual ; horrible revent of .
its kind. They were old men, and had !,
been arrested for the wanton murder of ;'
woman. Expecting a visit by-a mob. 1-
they bad through friends armed them-1
selves with knives and pistol, and bar- j
leaded their cell door ,Qnly one slept i
at a time, the , otlicr .remaining on tli''
alert. . , The masked lynchers were so
sudden in their attack, however, that
the plan of defense could not be execut- "
Isaiah, . who was: on the watch.
tried to shoot, but was knocked down. :
pounded, and stamped until he was in- .
sensible. ' Amos realized the futility oC
resistance then, and tried ' to soften hiV -
captors witl) prayers for mercy. They;
were tied behind a wagon when Isaiahv,
ad revived sufficiently to be able to-
walk, and the party started for the place
selected for .the, banging. ..On the way
Isaiah suddenly drew a knife, cut the
rope that bound him, stabbed one of tho
mob fatally and desperately endeavored'
to get awayj but he was. soon : over-. ...
powered, beaten until be was covered
with blood; and theil barbarously tor
tured' to death. 5 A ! rope " was noosed
around his. neck and ; fastened to the-,
waS9n and bis body dragged along the
stony road. ' He was dead before the
place for the : banging - was reached

protestations of innocence' until the roixv
