The leaves and flowers are coming
out in spring styles. We noticed a
Siberian Crab the other day, sporting
a Dolly Warden suit, whith threw the
shrubs around it entirely in the shade
and one gooseberry bush was turned
quite green with envy.
Some very cold weather for May,

holds high rank among public men
Should the southeastern portion of the
district generally favor the nomination
} of Colonel Curtis, it would insure tina

"A suit was tried last week which
is likely to cause a good deal of litiga
ton. We believe the following arr
the facts in the case: Some eigh
years ago, woman gave Daniel Noble
a little boy aged two years, she being
a widow and not able to support him
