Trade has been little dull in Peila
during the past week, owing to the
fact that the farmers are very busy
planting corn. Many of them are
through planting and we are told that
everything looks favorable now for an
abundant crop of grain and fruit.
An additional side-track has been
put in at this place by the K. & d. M.
Il. r. to accommodate their large and
increasing freight business.
The stock holders Of the new foundry
held meeting at the Office of Bous-
quet & Ryan last Saturday evening
and elected the following officers for
the ensuing year: President, b. f.
Keables; Treasurer, J. b. Cotton; Di-
rectors, b. Buerkens, p. III. Bousquet
and J. Z. Fowler. The amount Of
stock was limited to $40 1000, which
has all been taken and we presume
building operations will begin ut once.
Some envious persons attempted to
get up petition to be presented to
the City Council this evening, declar-
ing the erection of foundry and ma
chine shops on Main street a nuisance.
This is the first we ever knew of such
an enterprise being a nuisance to a
town. We doubt whether the petit
ton will ever he presented to the
Council.
Several new dwellings are going up

Other improvements In the way Of adj
ditions, etc., are being made all over
town.

The BARNS Hymn.

DIR. Cuyler, in the s. s. Times, says: l
have been reading with moistened eyes
the touching story of the last hours of the
great and eloquent DR.. Guthrie. He was
the king of all preachers; but what a
child he was in spirit He loved children,
even the wretchedest, and then thirty
thousand people of Edinburgh thronged
to his burial, and when the great digni-
taries had finished their funeral ceremo-
nies, two little children from his Ragged
School, stepped forward and laid a
wreath of flowers on his grave. And all
the multitude melted into tears. just
before Guthrie died, he asked his family
to sing for him. "What would you hkef"
And the Great orator replied, Give me
a bairns hymnl" So they sang for him,
"There is happy land, far, far away
He listened to it as the prelude of his
own heaven-song And when Guthrie
reached his Fathers house, there was
only one more little child in the kingdom
of heaven. He sings "bairn's hymn"
before the Throne.

The READY RoosTER.-Roosters are the
pugilists among birds, and having no
suitable shoulders tew strike from, they
strike from the heel. When a rooster
gets whipped, the hens all march oph
with the other rooster, if he amt half so
big or handsum. 1t is pluck that wins a
hen Roosters az a class won't do enney
household work; you kant get rooster
to pay any attention to young one.
They spend most of their time IN crow
ing and strutting about, and once and q
while they find a worm; which they
mrke such a great fuss over, calling their
wives up from distance, apparently to
treat them, but as the hens git thare, this
elegant cuss bends over and gobbles up
the worm. just like o man for all the
world Josh Billings.
