 years h West Cornwall, has arrived at his
 new home in Negaunee, Marquette county,
 Michigan and is nearly ready to sue and be
 sued, being nearly settled and ready for
 business. His promise to send us an item

 Those Lots Agaia. Last Tuesday Sur
 veyor Pettee of Lakeville run out two roads through Mir. Peets and Mir. Bush-
 nell's lands east of this village, and in his
 work went as far as he could till the rail- road will designate the amount of land
 about their depots and road, which they
 are informed by Mir. Peet that the com
 pany have blocked the wheels of progress
 in the laying out of roads and building lots
 on his land, by their delay in attending to
 what is their part to do, &c., &c. He
 says he has written to them collectively
 and Individually, scolded at them, coaxed,
 begged. flattered and abused them, and all
 without avail. He can get no satisfaction
 out of them and wants us to pitch into
 them about it. The company can consider
 itself pitched into, and of course, like
 Crockett's coon, will come down before we
 shoot. We can assure Mir. Peet that the
 railroad company will attend to his wishes forthwith. '''

 This Remarkable !SrSng The old say
 ing, that ''DIarch is very trying month
 for consumptives and old people, seems
 to have been literally fulfilled this year
 not only in the death record but more especially in the extreme changes which
 keep coming upon us, for, unless one has
 an overplus of stamina, they will surely
 succumb to a degree: either by colds and
 coughs, or else catarrh and fevers Colds
 just now are very fashionable, and very few are they who can say-I do not follow the fashion. Rheumatism is also very
 intimate associate, these damp, chilly days informing us of it's presence, by sharr
 thrust in the joints, or terrible clinch in
 the back ; making what we boys used tc term back-hold 'clcnches, with the wors end always in our favor, or else with ons fell swoop; seizes the whole body with its iron grip, and lays it prosirate., Some oi the veterans say that about thirty. six years ago we had winter of which the present one seems to be the counterpart. The trees were loaded with ice nearly all the time, and the cattle on coming out of the
 stables mornings would be heavy witl frost; but little snow fell at a.time, yet il was good sleighing nearly all winter, and
 the air, owing to the ice on the trees, had 6 sharp, crispy sensation, and yet was con ducive to health. The present week ir April has been more like December, Janu
 srY or February weather than any sapproxl mating spring. It has been very cold with high winds, snow and hail, and in every sense of the word, tedious. TIE ,"

As yet we have experienced but little of the , trouble and heart rending sorrow that nee essarily attends the use of 8 good sidewalk Our reasons are manitoba In the first place we are of such a temperament as to shun anything that pertaineth to labor. In the second place it has been said and truly said, that variety is the spice of life, and now if you will show us how there will be the desired amount ot spice to make ''hoof , ing it" endurable, provided we change oul present style of walk for one which will bs the same old story of dry and hard side walk, we will consider ourselves under obligations, but lastly and by no means leastly, in fact the principal reason is;' that we have no walk. At the present time we can point with pride at some of oul
 neighbors who have walked as far as Dodge
 hill and broken but one leg. or lost but ont
