Our Small Change.

Much produce is coming in, all of
which finds ready sale.
R. G. Worthington's store is now
heated by hot air furnace. Ralph says
it is just the thing.
-Noah's ark on hobs passed
through our city last Tuesday. TWAS
not heavy storm either.
Another rumor is flying. 1t is
reported that the Portage 4. Il. Will
be crowded through in the early
spring.
Meetings are being held at the
Methodist Church nightly with excel
lent results An earnest enthusiasm
is manifest.
A lodge of Odd Fellows will be
organized here within the next 365
DAYS. The rumor has been SO long in
circulation that it is getting little
old, nevertheless it is true.
The express is now running regu-
larly. We noticed big iron box pass
ing from the depot to MIR. Neeves'
office last Friday supposed to be full
of greenbacks and OF her trash.
In all probability there will be a
thaw within the 4ext ninety days !!
As February wanes let's all sing,
"March on March on !" to April
showers and dust.
Our "pard'' rejoiceth in more dog
flesh. This time its x between an
Esqui maux and Siberian crab very
pretty, with a paw big enough to keep
the frost off cucumber hill. Wen
see in the spring.
Notwithstanding money is SO tight
we occasionally see a chap who seems
to have succeeded in getting tighter
than the money market can ever hope
to become. Such sights are seldom
witnessed in our city which speaks well
for progress.
L. P. Powers, John Edwards,
and Seth Reeves had a narrow escape
on their return home, last Thursday
week. Owing to broken rail the cars
were thrown from the track, and a gen
eral confederation for time threatened
by the upsetting Of the stoves. For
tunatcly no one was injured.
We learn that the action Of the
r. r. Commissioners for the Tomah
Road at a meeting held last Tuesday
evening, was to the effect, that an ex-
tention be granted the company for
the building Of the road, Of ninety
DAYS, and that the bonds be deposited
at Chicago.
1t will Of course be matter Of en-
quiry whether or not the. Commission
ers have the authority to make such
extention, and order the deposit of
the bonds other than as directed by
the contract. This is legal question
which we don't propose to answer.

last Sunday, the u inst, was
the date specified by old weather proph-
cts for brain to come out OF his hole
and look for his shadow-if he should
see it he crawls back for a month, II
not, he counts it a good thing and at
once sets about whetting his claws and
getting ready for the summer business.
We predict bruins disappointment and
discontinue, for last Sabbath was as
clear and beautiful day as was ever
begotten by an almanac. Bruin re-
quired no mirror to behold his ugly
corpus From his snout to his extreme
narrative his photograph was distinctly
visible to the naked eye; therefore we
know that foul weather is bruin, for
the old weather seers wouldn t lie, and
they couldn't be mistaken. Look out
for another thirty days Of cold wealth
re, and try to bear up under it man
fully.

Terrible Fight with Dogs.

A peddler named Norton Freeman ar
rived in Detroit on Thursday to procure
medical assistance for some fearful wounds
he had received In q fight with three
force dogs q week prevlously. The en-
counter Is thus described: While driving
his wagon through the country few
miles north Of Ovid, Clinton county, Free
man stopped and got down to drink at a
creek crossing the highway. As he rose
he was bitten in the leg by q large dog,
which had come quietly up behind him
and he saw two other goOd-sized dogs
near the wagon. Freeman sprang for his
vehicle, when the three dogs made at him
together, and his shouts and their yells
started the horse Uf on trot. He was
bitten seven or eight times before he found
anything with which he could defend
himself, anil then got hold OF n stick
about five feet long which could be easily
handled. The dogs retreated as he picked
up the stick, but when Freeman sought TO
gain the road they all spraug for him.
He says that hestruck 10 kill, and knock
ed each brute down in turn, but as fast as
knocked down they spraug up and attack
ed him again. Five minutes alter the battle
opened his hands were red with blood,
and blood was. running down into his
boots, but by q fortunate blow he SO disa-
bled ono OF the smaller dogs that the
brute had to draw out Of tho fight, There
was rest again OF four or five minutes,
and freeman walked slowly back into o
fence corner and exchanged his club Tor a
better one. Without movement on his
part, the two dogs attacked him again,
one biting at his legs, and the other leap.
ing at his throat. The latter animal
caught its teeth in his shoulder and tore
away oil that side Of the coat, and madea
wound in the flesh which will be, wOelSs IN
healing. Freeman was dragged down anu
both Of the dogs were on his back at once,
but lie managed 10 shake them of and re-
gain his feet. A blow from his club
dashed out the larger dogs eye, and the
brute ran round and round in circle,
bowling 30 iCHrfully that the other dog
ran away. Watching his chance he hit
tho crippled dog blow which killed it,
and then he Crawled down to the creek
and tainted. Some men came along in a
wagon and discovered him, and he was
taken to u farmhouse and cared for. On
his lett leg there are nine wounds from the
teeth OF the dogs. On the right, GlCVeni
on the right arm, five; on the lett arm,
three; on the back, three; on the shoulder,
two; on the fucc, two; on the right foot,

EFFECTS OF CuALYBEATE WATER
When Murphy first bought his farm in
Lancaster county, he was not aware that
all the water on the premises was i'm
pregnated with iron. But when he drank
that chalybeste water for five or six
months his system was so thoroughly
charged with iron that when he would
wake up In the morning he would find
that the bedstead had gradually shifted
around during the night until the head
pointed north. And the children's beds
all performed the same maneuver. With.
out taking warning by this occurrence,
the family CONTINUED u drink the water
until, one fatal evening. Mrs. Murphy
had been house.cleaning, and that night
she and Murphy and the children lay
down In the same room. No sooner were
they in q horizontal position than all their
heads swung around suddenly 10 the
northern end ofthe chamber where the
stove stood, and the next instant the
whole five Of them were drawn violently
against the hot stove, and held there by
magnetic attraction. Murphy suffered
worst because he was bald, but Mrs. Muir
ply and the children lost every hair or
their heads, and when the family sold ou
and moved away, every member of It wa
balder than all the other Murphys tina
ever wore q seal p.-IMdE AdeIer.
