WALDEN-After quoting list OF press
extracts relative to Hon. NJ. NJ. WALDEN,
the Toledo Republican says: These tes-
timonials from so many of Mr.. Walden's
constituents, being so hearty, frank and
gratifying, are well deserved. MIR. W. has
made laborious, though unassumlng and
modest Member of Congress. His con-
stituents in the new District will do well
to retain his services, as we hear they are
likely to do"
r. r. ELECTIoN.-Elsew where wilrbe

Our friends in Cedar should carefully con-
slider this matter, weigh all the chances,
and If satisfied that the road has good back
ing, land if backed by the Pa. Central it
certainly has) they should vote the aid, as
the probability is that years will elapse
ere they will have another chance to get
line through their TIP.

CHEEsE.-The new cheese factory of
Lewis Nordyke is now in operation, and
turning out about 200 TBS of cheese daily
Other work is interfering, and they run
but part of their capacity, but they expect
to milk 100 cows soon, and give this bust

good cheese as any country can turn out
Our merchants have been supplied with
the cheese, and 1t is as good as any we ever

WORMS AND BUGs.-Our farmer friends
southeast of town are complaining great

the army worm on their meadows. We
have been destroyed, cleaned up, by the
pests. The only consolation is that they
are short-lived and are already dying off.
The chinch-bugs have made their appear
ance in all directions, and threaten to sweep
things, though the cheering news come up
from some sections that they are already
emigrating. We hope they IL go, and offer
our coincidence tc the community with
which they relocate.

LOAN AND BUILDING AssoCIATIoN.-A
number of our citizens are organizing a
Loan and Building Association, for the
purpose OF furnishing funds on long time
to such as desire to secure homes of their

such that person renting, may build a
house and In few years pay tor it with
the very money that would otherwise have
been paid out for rent. The articles of the
Association and such parts of the Bylaws
as are explanatory of its workings will be
published in time, when full information
may be derived. We think it good thing,
and that by awaiting themselves of its
