The members of Company C. were to have a grand dance on the evening of the 22nd of this month, but it has been decided to postpone it, because it is impossible to secure music. Captain Lohr informed a reporter for this paper, this morning, that the company intended to have the dance in about two months from now, and that it will be a bang-up affair. The Governor has been written to again, and the affair will come off on the he signifies his intention to be here. The officers of ttie Third Regiment will be invited, as will also military men of Chicago, and Adjutant General Chapman, of the Wisconsin State militia, and who is a resident of Madison.

Kings ey, on Whistler Street, and while the lad was coasting, his sled encountered a tree at the lower part of the hill. Captain Lohr said further that it was the intention to keep the company in as good condition as possible, and that there would be drills regularly on Monday and Thursday evenings. The hall would be papered handsomely as soon as possible, and made much more attractive. CAPT. BARTLETT.

In its militia column, the Rockford Gazette says: II. N. Starr is at present Major of the Third Regiment. His terra of service will expire in May, when it will devolve upon the line officers to elect his successor, as Major Starr has decided to retire. It is very well understood that Adjutant J.

W. Bartlett, of this city, is a candidate for this office, and it is also as well known that his candidacy is considered with favor by a majority of the officers. Captain Bartlett has always taken a great interest in the Third Regiment, and it is well known that Capt. Smailes, of Elgin, is a candidate for the Lieut. Col, onelcy, now held by W.

W. Wharry, of. Sycamore. It is therefore quite proper that the other officer, the Major, should be a resident of this city, so that in the absence of the Colonel the command could be turned over to his subordinate. At the late encampment at Lake Geneva, the Adjutant was the only field officer present, and it can readily be imagined that his labors were slightly arduous to say the least.

He discharged his duties to the entire satisfaction of all present, and won the respect of the entire Regiment. His election would be but a deserved promotion. Rev. Thomas Allen, pastor at Preston, Minn, will preach in the First Presbyterian Church Sunday morning, and the pastor in the evening. Young people's prayer meeting at 6:15 p.

Another railroad accident occurred on the Illinois Central railroad yesterday morning, which delayed the passenger train eight hours. A reporter learned that the cause of the delay was an accident to a freight train which wag coming north. The hind trucks of one of the cam broke loose, and rolling from the track, allowed the box to fall upon the road.

The box was dragged a distance of four miles in that condition before it was discovered. The track for that distance was torn to pieces, and the rails had to be relaid before the passenger train could pass. The accident happened between Shab- benoa and Lee. No person was hurt, but the narrative end of the freight car was considerably demoralized. The City Council of Galena, 111., lias adopted an ordinance granting the Freeport and Mississippi River Railway Company, on the petition of Albert Keep, the right of way over certain streets and highways within its control, and also to bridge the Galena river below the Illinois Central Railway Bridge, with such restrictions as will protect the interest of the people.
