1.-THE Peep of Day" If the practices
Of the animals which have fanaticicod
Utah arc correctly reported we think the
peep Of night would DO better for such
bestial habits as they dignity by tho

Mrs. Lincoln is insane. A gentleman
now residing at Winona Nv. c. H. for
merly citizen of Iowa, and more formerly
resident Of Springfield, Illinois, for six
years, told us years ago that she was then

The calico ball on Friday evening didn't
pay large dividend. There was small,
tasty, nice company Of young bachelors
spiced somewhat with married gents whose

of ladies was quite large in numbers and
much larger in value. They looked beau
tiful in calico! Some of the calico was
worth 81. a yard; it was called French
prints. In ci les it is common on such OF.
casions to close the exercises by prcsen-
tation Of the humble ~ dresses to the
poor fund, but this time the rule was not
observed.

we were to hear that he had almost re-
covered instead of being foolish enough to
die, nobody but u friend can imagine
lie sends US word he is good for 40 years
yet and that he will soon come and see US.
May the Lord keep him coming !......"Go
bare-headed if you want to re-hair a bald
head" Who will dare to start the fash
ion. II Nate Munger, now Of Oswego, n.
Y, was here we would request him to test
the question. lis doubtless fact that
the closeness Of mems head-g gear and the
lightness Of women's top-dressing is the
cause of badness in men so much earlier
in lie than in women. Ladies all observe
the injunction. "keep your head COOL"
