ATTENTION EVERYBODY
"The person having the large Flag belonging to this office, will confer a favor by returning the same immediately While the red, white and blue were displayed from so many buildings on Main Street last evening, it was a source of mortification to us not to be able to hang out the bunting from our office."

LARCENY
"Mr. SKINNER, agent of the Illinois Central Road at this place, has for the last few weeks been almost daily missing small packages of freight from the company's freight house Last Tuesday he discovered that a package of grained leather, had disappeared He determined to find it if possible and put a stop to that kind of thieving As suspicion rested upon a shoemaker in that neighborhood by the name of STRICKLAND, Mr SKINNER went to STRICKLAND's shop and asked him to make him a pair of boots from fine grained leather STRICKLAND brought forward the identical leather that was missing, and asked Mr. SKINNER if that would answer Of course that was "good enough" for SKINNER and he took it along home STRICKLAND was arrested and taken before Squire FARRAR, who required him to give bonds for his appearance at the next term of the Circuit Court In default of bail he was committed to jail."
AFFRAY IN ELIZABETH
"A returned soldier by the name of BURNS, while walking along the street at Elizabeth, last Saturday evening, was met by a gang of rebel sympatherisers when one of them named SCOTT, sung out to him in an insulting manner, "Well Burns I see that Uncle Sam has given a suit of clothes." BURNS asid that he didn't know as that was any of his business, as the clothes were paid for SCOTT said he would let him know whether it was any of his business or not, and at the same time struck at him Both parties clinched and fell to the ground When SCOTT's friends saw that BURNS was getting the better of him one of their number named BOWDEN, having on a heavy pair of boots, gave BURNS two severe kicks in the face, inflicting two dreadful wounds and knocking him senseless On Monday SCOTT and BOWDEN were arrested and tried for breaking the peace SCOTT was fined $30 and BOWDEN $35 They will be brought before a grand jury at the next session of the Circuit Court for inflicting bodily injury We give the facts as they were given to us If soldiers cannot walk the streets in the State of Illinois without being attacked by a gang of rebels, it is time the people should know it."
GOOD QUARTERS
"The facts show that Sheriff HOPKIN's stone boarding house is getting to be quite popular He had an acquisition of one new boarder last Monday and another Wednesday, entirely unsolicited on his part This is one of the best regulated boarding houses in the city The cooking is all done in a seperate building, so that guests shall not be annoyed with the savors of the kitchen The interest of their health is carefully looked to, and they are not even required to step out upon the damp ground The sun is not allowed to dart his direct rays upon their delicate eyes with imputity, but is made to shed his mellow and subdued lite into their apartments through elaborate screens or grates made expressly for their benefit These grates also serve to protect them from thieves and robbers, so that they can "lie down to pleasant dreams" at night with feelings of the most perfect security, knowing that the morning light will find them there unharmed by the wickedness of the outside world Here untroubled with the anxious cares of life, and secluded from the bustle of the busy world, they can while away the passing hours of life's eventful day without ever taking thought of the morrow
Superintendent HOPKINS, while looking after the comforts of the boarders the other day, found in one of the apartments a saw, several files and some keys, which some kind friend had handed them through the windows Mr. HOPKINS politely informed them that, as he did not wish them to soil their hands with menial labor, they would have no use for such tools We can recommend this house to the attention of parents as being a fit place to send their unruly boys who stay out late, at night, spreeing about town and getting into fights, as here they will be kept in evenings, and their habits will thereby be improved."
ACCIDENT
"We learn that one day last week, a young man by the name of TEAL, living some three miles south of Warren met with an accident under the following circumstances He had lately enlisted into the army, and had procured a pistol, which he had loaded and was carrying about with him In the act of stooping, to pick up something, the pistol fell out of his pocket, and upon striking the ground discharged, the ball entering his breast The wound is not thought dangerous, but will disable him for some time.-----WARREN INDEPENDENT"
