Robin was singing Erin most
3weetly last Saturday morning.

Every few days we pick up an ex-
change telling how some enterprising
aen has cegs-alted herself, and then
comes the diameter, the longitude, the
circumference--but never the egg
Now, we've got hen story. Last week
hen residing on the Four Mile Creek
erected an egg,---pever mind the inch
es,--but after she had put on the Man
sard roof, she pecked hole in it, and
moved in and started housekeeping, and
she would undoubtedly have been doing
the domestic" still, only an enterpris-
ing Teuton mistook it for porcelain
potash kettle, and thought it would
weigh about teu-ton, and SO dumped it
into his cart for old iron. We don t
ask anybody to behave this story, but
that hen is still alive, and the foundry
is just crowded with work.
The changeable weather the past
two weeks has been conducive to colds,
and noses don't articulate worth cent.
We met an old friend the other day,
and this is our dialogue

Our Small Change.

We don't hear our city council
say FIRE ENGINE, yet.
We must have rain, the ground
is as dry as powder magazine.
Our streets were full of teams
and people last Saturday and Mon
day.
Last Sunday was Easter, strange
to say the wind was nor wester, no,
heavy however.
There are 9,3S6 children in La
Fayette county between four and TWEEN
ty years of age.
Hens feel more encouraged since
Easter They feel as though they had
been pretty hard drove and will lay to-.
Boys are generally brought up in
a roundabout away, and it is a pity so
many put on tight jacket when they
! become men.
The rapids are at good running
stage. Rats are coming over RAPIDLY.
For pieces that never came over before,
they do it bravely.
The black birds are showing caws
why they should not be molested in
their humane work Of picking bugs off
the coming strawberry vines.
An exchange says one robin done
make a spring, whereupon another er-
change says, put a bug before it and
see if it don t make a spring
The Sunday school lesson last
Sunday conveys the impression that
Joseph diln' consider himself so bad

The Cushrnan Troupe.-Don't
forget the Concert at the Congrega-
tional Church tonight. 1t will be a
treat we can all enjoy. The Stevens
Point Pinery says of the Troupe:
The Cushman Concerts were fully at
tended and appreciated by our best cit
liens We never heard a voice so
softly rounded as Prof. Cushman' s.
So sensitive to the changing sentiment
and so we'll adapted to every variety of
passion and feeling, charged with
laughter or tears in recitation or song,
carrying the audience through every
shade Of life and character
Clarence Burke is doubtless the best
organist in the west. Much may be
due to the organ he plays, (made in
Cleveland, we believe.) Good players
on any instrument choose the best in
strument they can find !; SO We don't
know in this case which is best, the
player or the organ.
Montgomery excells all the bass
singers on our list. We do not know
how low he sings. The depth of tone

mand. We rive it up. We were

Examination Of Veachcrs.-The
annual examination Of teachers as adj
vertised by supt. Emery was held at
the School House on the 18th inst.
A goodly number Of aspirants for ed
vocational honors presented themselves :
and the examination on the whole was
satisfactory. Lists of ten questions
each in nearly as many branches of
study, were submitted to the class for
solution, all of whom did remarkably,
well in their expositions.

choose to look IN upon US, by the mid
die Of May or first of June. SO we
hope.
Noney.-When we were burnt out
we had some fifty dollars in currency
in our safe which was about as safe as
powder in a match factory. 1t was all
burned to a crisp and as black as ''col-
ored gemmans" photograph. We
thought however that we would send
it to the comptroller % the currency at
Washington, which we did, and 10 on
~ day or two ago back came So 90
in Greenbacks, with the three other
bills on national banks, which we could
not make ont, identIied. We have sent
the same on, and expect the stamps for
them shortly. Great is the comptroll-
crs office but greater are the girls who
can look crisp oh Ja'ch-of consum-
ed bank bills right in the face and tell
what they are and the denomination Of
each. How did they know that this
was not a SO, Presbyterian, and this a
$500 Methodist or this a $500 Con-
gregationalist We give it up. Those
girls are too n,aay for US, but We hope
they will always have place in Uncle
Samueis biz money box. Let the fine
haired and porfumed young men just
step out and each take up his cross, in
the shape Of saHbuck and walk, and
give the girls chance. Wen bet the
way those girls knew the denominations
Of those bills was because each one had
SOP inacrs name on it, and all had
been in the IRE and wern't safed.
Carrying E'ist0Is.-If we were to
assert that fifty per cent. Of our boys
between the ages Of twelve and twenty
years were il the habit Of carrying
Notwithstanding business OF it, we
would be accounted crazy. Well, we
are willing to be called crazy. and we
reitearte the statement, and don't de-

upon the practice as absolutely neces-
