A LEAP YEAR WEpDINe.-A marriage was
recently solemnized in this vicinity which was
brought about by the Bissextle privileges allowed
to the fair sex. The young lady had been visiting
in the neighborhood of her present liege lord and
being prepossessed in his favor at several casual
meetings, addressed him a letter on the important
subject nearest her heart. Of course, as she is
sensible woman and told her love in sensible Ian
guage to sensible man, it met with the right kind
of reception. The bashful lover was only too glad
to act upon the hint, and ere two months of the
year had passed the twain were made one flesh.
Ladies with timid swains, 60 and do likewise.
"Barks is willin'."
~ At visit the past week to Columbus
City, we had the pleasure of an examination Of the
Register upon the climate at that place, prepared
by Col W. W. Garner. since 1s45, and We find
from observation that the ground this spring was
in suitable order for blowing ten days earlier than
at any former period during the last fifteen years
The next earliest was 1916 and the latest 1856.
We further notice at this place and vicinity as
much energy and industry as any place we visit.
We learn they have no vacant buildings for renting
purpose. We noticed the new steam saw mill of
Aessrs Reiner l. Gamble, in full blast and the
fine hay PRESS of Messrs. Berry Phillips. who
are engaged in baleing hay. They are buying all
the hay they can get from the farmers at IS per
ton. They will bale large amount for the market.
This is a new move in this portion of the State.
The town is surrounded by the best country in the
State.
PATENT FOR AN IMPROVED PLow.-We are
gratifed to learn that Mr.. G. w. Hunt Of this
county, has obtained patent for his vehicle pillow,
which he exhibited at the County Fair last Fall.
This is 4 very important invention, and will doubt
less come into general use among agricuturaliss 1t
will be recollected that the distinctive principle Of
Mr.. Hunts invention is that the pillow rests on
wheels, thus saving q loss of power on account of
dragging on the ground. A boy can manage it as
easily as man, and remain seated all the while in
box provided for that purpose: The inventor
claims that with one of these implements he can
pillow more ground in day than with the ordinary
pillow, and with less WEAKNESS to the horses There
is no trouble in turning it around, and it can be
turned as short as any other pillow. The cost of
construction is but little more than the ordinary
pillow. T
Mr.. Hunt is now manufacturing some of these
plows at the foundry of Messrs. Kleinfelder Il Co.
We wish him success in the enterprise.
