! FRIEND MTLLIKAN.-Presum that
few items from this place might be
of interest, have taken the responsibility
upon myself to try to give them.
The public schools of this place and vi
cinity are closing, some have closed, and
others will close next week But fortu-
nate or unfortunate as it may be for the
Roberts settlement, they procured teach
er. who it is said, got to hugging some OF
the big girls too much to suit some of the
patrons, 1--WE do not know how this is
will leave it for his beautiful young wife
to decide so they dismissed him, and af-
ter a vacation of three weeks they have
procured the services of Prof North, of
Argos. They have yet about five weeks
OF school,
Business sbout this place seems to be
quite lively, especially in timber, lumber
and wood. From the amount of timber
and lumber in the yard OF Lee Bros &
Dickinson's, we would think they were
thorough business men, also, Mr.. Geo.
Shatcr, successor to Group & Shafer, is
alive IN the lumber business, at least we
should think so from the amount of logs
in his yard Others are bringing in an
immense amount oflumber to this place
for shipment, from the abundant forest
which surrounds our little village.
The office Lee Bros & Dicksons, was
broken open and relieved of some of its
contents, though lucky for the firm, there
was no money in the office. Also, the
saloon of c. & s. Fisher, WIS entered,
and an over coat taken which BELONGED to
one Of the proprietors: but cannot sym
pathize very much with Sam, for Lee sells
the fire water" which causes men to do
every kind of Ofmeanness conceivable, and
perhaps it was one of this kind that per-
pctrated the deed
| am Respectfully, &C.,
FEARLESS.

My best of weekly visitors
Arrived by the last post. q.
Revered, 'mongst all competitors,
Surprising all the host.
How radiant is my little guest,
Astounding with its news:
Long may its visits come, to bless
Life in its various hues.
Courteous is my friend, and gay,
Obliging every one;
Unto the right it lends its sway;
Nor hampers with what's wrong.
The best of friends it comes each week,
Youth and old age to cheer.
Restrained not by the cold or heat,
Each visit is most dear.
Proud am l of my friend, and am
Unceasing in its praise.
Blessing to all is its chief aim,
Long be its future days.
Its weekly visits reader, thou
Can no doubt help expand;
And if thou wilt this favor show,
Now give helpiug hand.

A Wonderful Haesl:n5.

The pin machine is one of the closest
approaches that mechanics have made
to the dexterity Of the human hand. A
small machine, about the height and
size Of ladies' sewing machine, only
much stronger, stands before you. On
the side at the back, a light belt de-
scenas from long shaft at the ceiling
that drives all the machines, ranged in
rows on the floor. On the left side of
our machine hangs, on a small reel of
wire, that has been Strengthened by
running through a small compound sys.
tenn Of rollers. The wire descends and
the end enters the machine.
This is the food consumed by this
snappish, voraeious little, dwarf. He

IN their places as they arr carried under
two series Of small files, three in each.
These files grow finer towards the end
OF the series. They lie at slight in
cllnation on the pins, and by series OF
cams, levers and springs, are made to
play like lightning. Thus the pins are
dropped in little shower in box.
