EDITOR REpUBLICAN-As the faithful
correspondent OF an enterprising publi-
cation, we have always endeavored to
be found ut our post. But, alas, for the
weakness OF the genus homo" we find
when put to tho test, that, in common
with all mankind, we are possessed of
an inherent laZiness; or, rs Ruby might
express the idea, 1--WE never do to-day
what we can possibly put of until to-mor-
row." Hence our delinqucncics and
shortcomings. We profess penitence
and ask forgiveness.
We yesterday noticed Doc. Ga"er
upon the streets with bandage about
his classic brow, and we ct once arrived
at the conclusion that he had sought and

plished and agreeable gentleman.
"Web" sported new suit of store
clothes, and looked as bright and smil--
ng rs new ten-cent shin-plaster. If
you want to get good treat out of the
gentleman, just ask him if he has heard
OF the circumstances connected with
the drowning" II that won't do, lust
say ''stumps" to him. He will apprec;-
ate and shell out accordingly.
The Dorchester Cheese Factory" is
now in operation. Mr.. Keller, the SUI
perintendent, is now receiving about
twenty-five hundred pounds OF milk and.
is making between two and three hun
pounds OF cheese per day. He expects,
by the close ofthi5 month to receive ), coo,
pounds of milk, and make six hundred,
pounds Of cheese daily. The first DAYS
manufacturing will be cut on'the Fourth
of July, on which occasion the stock
holders, together with the Board of Di-
rectors and 4 few chosen companions,
propose to eat beer and drink cheese,
and have good time generally. IL is

and like him very much. We have a
very fine church, St. Marks Hospital,
that every man pays one dollar per
month to keep it up, and graded
school. Aman gets paid for what he
does, here; from two to three dollars q
day and board.

scenery Of these mountains. Where
am there is eight feet of snow, yet down
in the valleys they hardly have enough
snow 10 cover the ground in the winter
time. Sometimes the snow collects on
the mountain sides ana slides down
with such force as to take down trees
two feet through. Snow was twenty
feet deep last winter. From the tops of
these mountains can be seen peaks over
q hundred miles away. and look. down
on Salt Lake City. Everything looks
very green-trees all in leaf and bloom.
Salt Lake City is very nice place. 1t

On Saturday morning last, four lodges
of Good Templars of St. Joseph, mum
bering some two. hundred and f!ty
ladies and gentlemen, arrived on a spe-
cial train, and Were escorted to the
Methodist Church by delegation from
the Hope Of the Valley Lodge of Savan-
nah, headed by Dugan's Ccrnet Band.
Alter cooling of, a procession was
formed in. the following order: Band
of Music in front, followed by Gem
Lodge, with 2 banner bearing the in--
scription, Total abstinence is the only
safety" and then came Chapel. VITA
banner, on which was noticed tho
words, "Touoh not, taste not. handle
not" after which Harmony Lodge
took place in the line,. having on lis
banner, "Be of good cheer" Webster
Lodge taking the rear, carrying a bau-
ner on which was inscribed, .our
course is onward Each Of the lodges
named We're unitornedin il handsome re-
gala, and the procession formed very
pleasing picture as it took up its line cs
march through the streets Of Savannah
and thence to Wa;ernan's grove, west
of town. Mr.. E. C.. Sheldon, OF St. Jo-
seph, was marshal in chief, assisted by
John a. Peltier, of Harmony, JOHN
Maxwell, of Chapel, Edwin Bierd, of
Webster, and S. Z. Holmes, OF Gem

as grand marshal of the day, and d.
rected the movements OF the line. After
remaining in the grove for an hour or
so, rain storm set in, and the excur-
sionists were forced 10 repair to the
railroad depot, where the remainder of
the day was spent in ammUsements
suited to the inclinations of those who
participated, the band of music adding
largely TO the pleasure of the occasion.
At II o'clock splendid feast was
served.
In the evening the excursionists re-
turned to st. Joseph, with the unpleas-
ent reflection that the rain had twicn
intertered with their pleasure at Savan-
nah. Two years ago the rain spoilt
their fun in q similar manner. They
should console themselves that the

CRow-KAY is the name of n favor;tc
game among our young people. You
needn't laugh at way in which this
game is spelled. AS Webster and
Worcester both call it Cricket" and
people nowadays call it "crow-kay,"
we use our 6Wu dictionary and spell
it to suit the people. 1t is a very
pleasant and interesting little game,
however, no matter by what name it
goes. The only reason VIII st needs
to be spelled at all, is, that some
young swain might wish to send a
balet-dour to his lady-love, and solicit
the 'ex-squeeze-it' pleasure of her CON-
pany as partner in the play. For the
benefit of such, we furnish the above
example, which they will find easy
to spell and easier 20 pronounce, and
which We presume will answer every
