Mr. WILKE has sold his residence property on the south side of town. We believe consideration was $1,000. The purchaser was a German farmer who purposes moving to town. Mr. WILKE and family have moved on to their farm again.

BIRTH. Miss LEITHOLD, a very pretty young lady of rather delicate constitution but attractive voice, arrived at the residence of Sheriff LEITHOLD, a few days ago, which accounts for the happy countenance Chris is wearing. Mother and baby getting along nicely.

Mrs. Levi HUBBELL had the misfortune to slip down on the icy sidewalk near Dr. CRAWFORD's office, last Thursday evening, striking heavily onthe back of her head causing her to become insensible. She was taken into Dr. CRAWFORD's office and restoratives applied which brought her partially back to her senses and was afterward taken home and has been confined to the house ever since and has suffered a great deal of pain in her head.

The first wheeled vehicles from the country this year were on our streets Tuesday. Goodbye runners.

Bro. M.V. BURDICK caled to see us, on his way to Cresco, this week. He is in very feeble health.

Frank ROBERTS is painting and otherwise improving his store on the inside, preparatory to receiving his spring stock.

Mrs. Reuben DOUGLASS and little girls, of Postville, are guests of Dr. HAMILTON for a few days --clipped from the Dubuque Sunday Herald.

Our thanks are due Mrs. Mary LAIRD for a copy of a Scotland paper. Mrs. LAIRD is one of our most prompt paying subscribers, never letting the advance payment run out.

Mr. A. ABEL, father of Charley, has bought of I.A. COLE, the place known as the "Chase" house in the southwest part of town. Consideration, $1,150 cash.

Charley BLANCHAINE informs us that the report that he withdrew from the postoffice fight in favor of his competitor was incorrect. He simply grew tired of the fight and withdrew.

Our old friend of a quarter of a century standing, Geo. COMBS, of Cresco, made us glad by a visit Tuesday evening. It almost made us young again to have a chat with him.

Miss Carrie ORR was on Monday evening elected to succeed Miss Jennie COWLES as teacher of the grammer department of our school for the ensuing term. There were several applicants we believe.

We are pleased to announce that Mr. and Mrs. Wm. MOTT have returned and will take up their residence in Postville. We believe every person in Postville will welcome them back with sincere pleasure, as we know our household will. We believe Mr. MOTT will take the place in the lumber yard to be vacated by Wm. McADAM.

John FLYNN, the new postmaster of Decorah was indicted by the grand jury of Winneshiek co, for illegal voting. He expects to be able to show that he was naturalized in 1885, but the outward indications are that it is doubtful.
