nRIruARY-

AGNES B. MEAD, wife of Hon. J. r. Mead
died at Towanda, Kansas, Saturday, 18th
inst, aged % years.
Mrs. Mead was n woman of indomitable en-
orgy and enterprise. She went out on the very
border of civilization about five years ago. She
possessed unusual business qualifications and
tact, and was often called upon to manage her
husbands large business interests during his
absence, which sometimes lasted for months.
While Mr.. Mead was in attendance upon the
State Senate last winter Mrs. Mead carried on
his mercantile establishment at TOwanda, and
did it as correctly and as satisfactorily ms the
Senator himself could do.
She stood the trials and privations of pioneer
lite with that cheerfulness seldom equaled by
those of her sex. She was a firm believer in
the Christian religion, but for several years
had necessarily been deprived of church priv
ileges.
Mrs. Mead was highly esteemed by all her
neighbors and acquaintance. Her untimely
death will be an irreparable loss to the COM
munity in which she lived. She leaves a hus-
band and four children to mourn fer her, but
they mourn not as those who are without hope
of i happy meeting on the golden shores of the
eternal world.
In this his great affiiction Dir. Mead will have
the sympathies of his many friends throughout
the State.

Robert Richardson is building nice fence
around his lots
p. B. Campbell finds his factory room too
small for his business this summer and Is build
ing work room, 12x22, which viii be compIet-
ed this week. This improvement made it nee
essary to postpone cheese making till next
Monday.
Mr.. Campbell has also made considerable
Improvement on his farm mile east Of town
new fences, trees, etc, etc. He evidently in
tends to make handsome place oft.
Vim. Tague has his new house nearly enelos-
ed, and We see it is going to be one of the finest
in the country. Between his house and his
sheep, didn't know which to admire most
yesterday. The latter, 2s1 in number, had sub
sisted almost entirely upon the prairie all win
ter, still friend who with me. aud had
just come from sheep growing section in
Pennsylvania. said he had never seen a flock of
sheep in that State looking well ut this time
of the year. To-day we went out to Allen creek
and saw Joseph Ernst's fi0cks Of 200 head
when Were looking equally as WELL Mr.. Ernst
stated that his sheep had not cost him, in
actual money. five cents head the past
winter. nv pennsylvania companion said he
had never seen a like number of sheep in any
part Of the East that would anywhere near
compare with these in size and quality of
wool.
In travelling past the farms that have fruit
trees upon them one cannot help noticing how
completely they all are covered with blossoms
save the peach trees, which contain but very
few. Little apple trees, that are yet but mere
bushes, are rosy with clusters of blossoms,
while the cherry, plum, grape, etc., and also
the strawberry vines, are more promising than
ever seen here before.
THE oak leaves have grown as large as
squirrels ears" the ''sign'' for rn-planting
time, and that work is going on lively among
the farmers.
Several new corners have located among us
since my last-smong whom are Mr.. Wheeler
and family, from Ohio. who have bought the
Rose farm three miles east of town; Mr.. James,
teacher from New York, Mr.. F. NJ. Taylor
(earpenter) and wife. from Huntington coun-
ty, Pennsylvania, and Mr.. VIM. c. Miller and
wife, from Mt. jackson, Pennsylvania-the
three latter gentlemen, with their families, To-

IMPROVEMENTS. - - Improvement and
growth" are the watchwoTds of our town au-
thorities as well of our people. Besides the
sidewalks, guttering and cross-walks already
ordered and now being constructed, CONNER
cial street is to be macadamized from the park
to the court house, distance of five squares.
This will be the first macadamized street
in the State outside of Leavenworth Other
streets are to be repaired as fast and as thor
Oughly as possible. We are also to have thu
bridge over the Cottonwood this summer-at
least we know nothing IT, the contrary, the cit
liens very generally having aequieseed in the
proposition to levy a tax sufficient to pay the
interest ON the county bonds one year, to secure
that improvement. The bottom over south OF
the Cottonwood is also to be fixed, and good
road made before bad weather next year. We
very much mistake the metal of our Welsh
friends if that work is neglected till another
season.

A gentleman from Wisconsin, who came
down from Topeka the otner day, informs us
that he had to lay over there one day before
he could get passage ON the hack. The agent
told him there were five passengers ahead of
him, and he would have to wait until the next
trip. He reluctantly remained over till the
next day. What was his Indignation after
waiting a day, on being crowded into a little
two-seated bumper with seven other pass
engers. That's enterprise for you. This hack
line is doing US great injury, and we should have
something better TO accommodate the rush of
immigrants TO this section, even if we have to
pay heavily for it.
