Editor Republican The Sunshine and
| showers OF the past two weeks have
greatly improved the appearance ofwheat,
which was not SO badly damaged as was
supposed.
The prospects for an abundant harvest
are now very tiattering.
There is considerable discussion on our
street corners, which sometimes grows
animated, as to the relative merits OF our
past, and present, board of corporation of
ficers the latter claiming that the former
di little else than issue orders on the
! town treasury for their own especial ben
eft, and threaten to repudiate all that are
yet unpaid. As to the justice Of this
course, we leave people to draw their own
conclusions. The act however would be
very natural, the entire beard being mem
bers of the great national repudiating pa r
ty. 1t is but truth TO say, that although
the ex officers did but little; the present
incumbents have done less The old
board planned and perfected some work
while the present, have perfected nothing
| Under the supervision of the old board
there was a considerable amount of side
walk cOnstructed-a few sewers sunk
some street crossings put dcwn-and a
ratlG5O0Se built: W hch we believe has not
been occupied since the memorable occa-
sion on which, a lady, having something
OF the Molly Aturk spirit in her compost
! ton, marched, hatchet in hand. to the
lookup, smashed the locks, stove in the
doors, and released her husband from ''dn-
rance vile, who had been incarcerated
for occupying little too much space on
the side walks. A commendable spirit of
devotion to her Gege lord, certainly.
Excuse the digression, and we will
shortly have done with this subject.
One more council and our honorable
board, will retire from the field Of their
| dTd&0uS labors, to prieate life, there to
enjoy the happy reflections consequent
upon we'll spent stewardship And
where gentlemen, is the fruit Of your la
bors echo answe. s-W here"
The Argos correspondent Of the Bour-
bon Mirror attempts to get of a driCe on
some OF the ArgOsites relative to an un-
successful pigeon hunt &c.
Ii Frank sundown was never more un-
lucky than they; in some Of his night er-
carstons, then we are mistaken in the
man that's all
Some of the boys propose next time to
hire frank to 90 along and carry a h,,qs
trunk, with supplies &c, and thus save
the expense OF IL team. Some fun loving
individual perpetrated a rather laughable
joke on DR. r. b. Eaton, the other day.
/ Dy privately Slipping into his pill bags
large roll OF Bologna sausage The DIR.
shortly after picked up his pill bags, got
into his buggy, and drove for the coun-
/ try fetching up at Fred Stairs; where,
after examining his patient, he proceeded
10 open his pill bags, when out rolled the
bologna, TO the great discontinue of the
! doctor and the intense amusenent of the
company present The doetae although
red man, cot the improved }order') is
sad TO have become few shades reader.
Mr. Stair cOolly observed, that the DR..
need not bring his dinner when visiting
his house, as they always had plenty to
eat. The language of the DR.. on the oc-
caslon, IS said to have been considerably
mixed with eXpletives which were not al
together ornamental, but served in ptrt to
give emphasis to his feelings. The DR..
did not ''set up the cigars on his return,
else we should have said nothing about
it.
A number of citizens of Green ard
Walnut Fps, met in Lesley & mil.

ing the necessity for, and the advantages
to be derived from, such an organization.
