CoLD BATH.-On Tuesday morning as
man intending to take the Crow Wing
stage was crossing the river at the upper
levee, the ice gave way and as conse-.
quence he went through. He found it a
long ways to the bottom, further, indeed,
than the extreme tips Of his toes could
reach, so he spread out his arms and sup.
ported himself oh. the ice until he could
scramble from his damp. cool position.
/ Loss OF SHEEP.-During the latter part
Of the winter many farmers in this portion
of the State lost numbers of their sheep
from disease called ''the scab.'' The ia
tality has lately been on the decrease, and
seems to have almost ceased.
A COOP Cow.-Henry Wesley, Esq, Of
Sank Centre, has COW that he has made
two. hundred and ninety four pounds ~of
butter from the past season. The price of
butter has ranged from twenty to thirty.,
five cents per pound, averaging thirty;
thus making the snug little sum of eighty
eight dollars and twenty cents as the in
come of one cow for one season. Glib.
UNION M1LLs.-By notice in our ad-
vertisi hg columns it will be seen that Bur-
bank Bros. have purchased an interest in
the Union FIGURING Mills, on Sank River,
two miles from this city. These mills
have already an extensive reputation, and
they represent sufficient capital to make
any additions to or improvements in mn.
chinery that may be required by their in
creasing trade. .......... ..~. ..
WEATHER.-Where two weeks aso the
sleighlng was good, and one week there
was mud as deep as it ever gets in this
country, here are now dry, hard and al
NEST dusty roads. The frost will in a few
days be sufficiently out of the ground in
the country to admit of blowing.
P. S.-A mixture of snow and rain this
morning renders it necessary that we
should recall as much of the above written
yesterday as relates to 'dusty..'7 streets.
S1DEwALKs.-On Monday morning, Mr..
John Clark commenced the construction Of
substantial plank sidewalk along the west
side of Washington, avenue. lie has
pushed the work vigorously ahead, and has
now most of the Avenue finished, with all
the south side of St. German street, from
Washington avenue to Jefferson avenue.
The sidewalks on Washinton avenue will
extend from the Post Office to St. German
street. The street crossings have, also,
sidewalks constructed on the ..beveled''
principle.
YOUR HOME PAPER.-An exchange gives
the following sensible advice "Stick to
your home paper, no matter if you are
poor, none are SO poor as the ignorant. ex-
eept it be the depraved, and they too often
60 together. Keep your home paper
Remember that if not so large and impos-
ing as some, it is the advertiser of your
neighborhood and daily business, and tells !
you what is going on around you instead of
. thousand miles away" e.--.n...sf.
The Rhode Island papers are poklng
fun at Gov. Smith, .of that State, on &C.
count Of a speech which he recently made !
in his seat in the Rhode Island Senate.
wherein he accused the editor of the Prov
idence Journal of "casting aspirations
upon him.-Exchange
The above reminds us of some remarks |
recently made BY a speaker, who had
"more than realized his most sanquinarv
expectations" 4
