airy. Boys, there's Cholera Morbus in
their affectionate grip(e). Let the
frosts have wrestle with them first,
then "gather them i'm ''gather them

The editor Of sanitary exchange
enquiries docs one woman in fifty
fill the lower half Of her lungs with
air 2" We can't speak for the other
} forty-nine, but when We spilled the
hair oil into the mornings milk the
others day we concluded there wasn't
much room to let in the basement of
them lung at our home.
At Penn Yam, N Y. they catch
trout by letting little boy lean over
the side of the boat, when the fish goes
for the nasal protuberance the boy
jerks back, and the fish falls in to the
skiff. Then the boy bats the nose
, with little court-plaster and is ready
for another bite.
The Publishers of the Interior,
Chicago, offer to send that valuable pa
per to any subscriber from now to Jan'y
LIST. for the sum Of fifty cents. Here is
a good opportunity to get more than
your money worth in taking first
class religious paper, full of excellent
wisdom.
We clip this from the Interior: -
Doctor Talmage is not orthodox on
the doctrine Of original coddling. He
says: "Nobody ever embroidered slip
pers for the big foot of Simon Peter"
Maybe not. But We venture to affirm
that Mrs. Peter petted him. If Paul
had possessed as good wife as Peter,
he would not have found it necessary
to send for that "old cloak at Troas, !"
to cover his shivering limbs. Mrs
Paul would have seen that he took it
; with him when he started.
-Ye editors COW very suddenly dis
appeared from fve-board fence pasture
the other night, and not mark to show
how she got out into society, except a
small knot hole in one of the boards
with hair around, whereby hangs a
tail '--probably. We want her returned
to the fold,. and if some lively boy will
find her-she must be very long and of
extremely small calibre,-he shall be
amply rewarded. In our absence let
down the bars and drive her in; don t
drive her in the way she got out.
The Epidemic is undoubtedly abat-
ing, and assuming less virulent form.
Several are very sick however. We
learn that Mrs. John Miller is sick, al
so young lady at Harry Compton's.
Mr.. Demarais lost little one last week.
Mr.. Bassillion has been terribly afflict-
ed in his family. Edmund Rossier in
Centralla is recovering. Hattie and
Dean Philleo are very sick, but are
thought to be better. We hope in our
next issue to be able to state the almost
entire abatement OF the scourge.
THE Green Bay Road is doing an
immense business in transporting whea I
from Minnesota to the Bay. One train
last week carried 80 cars laden with
the little kernals, and every day long
trains may be seen crossing the bridge,
bearing the precious treasure eastward.
Vast quantities of coal and other freight
is passing west also, daily. When the
the road shall have been completed to
the Mississippi its carrying business
must be enormous. Only about ten
miles now remain to be spanned by the
iron rails.
--Plover is to have another Hotel
0. IL. ?. Biglow, has commenced the
erection of large and commodious
building, between the two buildings he
owns, which will, when finished, con-
meet the two buildings together, and be
as one. The new building he is putting
up, is 45x24 feet, with IS feet posts,
and the whole length of the entire
E building will be 110x2S feet besides a
kitchen in the rear
| Workmen are already at work putting
it up, and it is the intention of Mr.. B.
to have it finished and to commence
doing business sometime this fall. This
new hotel, will have the tendency to
start some business houses in the north
part of our village.
The saw mills at Grand Rapids
have all been shut down, for the want
Of logs. If those fellows down there
would pay less attention to our booms,
and more to finding some means to hold
logs for themselves, it would perhaps
be just as well for them.-Stereas Point
