Presently the "Herald" announced a news connection with Rouen, and with that, and the aid of "patent insides," began an era of three issues a week, appearing on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

The Plattville Brass Band serenaded the editor.
During the second month of the new regime of the "Herald," the working force of the paper received an addition.

One night the editor found some barroom loafers tormenting a patriarchal old man who had a magnificent head and a grand white beard.

He had been thrown out of a saloon, and he was drunk with the drunkenness of three weeks steady pouring.

He propped himself against a wall and reproved his tormentors in Latin.
