Lake counties. lie is building mp
a good trade by jndicious advertis-
ing.
On last Monday morning re-
MAJ kable and quite severe frost oc-
Cured. Up 10 about one o'clock
a. m, there were clouds and rain,
but wind was blowing from 4 Q
north. The sky then cleared, and
by 6 O'Clock a. ~, there was frcst
severe enough to kill cacumbers
and tomato vines and beans.
A week ago last Sunday, Mrs
Lydia Clark, Of Hartwick, wife Of
Oliver Clark, suddenly became
madiy insane. while under religions
excitement, aud has been very vi
client mp to this time. She was
brought here ard kept in The Jail,
till Monday, when she was taken
to Kalainazo o, guarded 10y her hus
band and Sheriff IIonghton, who
had all they wanted to do 70 man
age her. 1t is very sad case; rs
she Was n very exemplary woman,
and highly respected. Two or
three small children are thus left
without mothers care.
Mr.. Asa Chl,ls, of Willoushhv.
Ohio, is visiting his brother, Il. V.
Childs, of Reed City. Twenty
years ago, when a boy, we used to
know where Mr.. C's melon.patch
was located, and we used to assist
his son Jairus in Ca ching "coone."
Since then many chang, S have oc--
cured. Jairus died IN battle,
fighting for his country, at the side
of Charlie Radcliffe, now Editor If
the Lake Go. Star: and many,
many others Of the dear faces that
we once knew, are gone. But smell
pleasant times as we had, aud euch
good friends, in cd Willoughl j.,
Mentor and gainesville. We shal
never forget them-never.
So much difference OF opinion
seems to exist as to what streams
in this region are the homes of the
grayling, which is becoming such a
favorite, that we propose to tell
what we know abont Cravings.
We shall only speak Of the streams
in this vicinity. Cravings arc to
be found in the following streams,
in Osceola and Lake counties:
Muskegon, Jersey, Pine, Pee
Marquette and Sauble. Some Of
the finest specimens We have seen
were taken from the Hcrsey, Pine
and P.re Marquette. The best
points for gentlemen who wish t."
spend few days of fishing for
graylings, in the two counties men
toned, are Baldwin City. in Lake
county, and Hersey, in Osceola
county; and in both places will be
found good hotel Accommodations.

LoCKE's NATIONAL MONTHLY for
June is just at hand. The readers
Of its generally sprightly pages
doubtless regard the change ia tn e
time OF publication with no little
satisfaction, since, according to pre-
vi"us promise, it is now in their
hands ne early as any Of the pop
ular montllies. The graver and
more Instructive p 'rtions OF the
magazine, in this number, are ad-
mirably calculated to furnish good
reading, but list Of these articles
would take too much space for our

is how 30 much really valuable
matter can be crowded into forty

clap OF thunder. There are comparatively
/ few reports of the shock having been felt
! in this city. One family, however. in the
twenty first ward, felt it so dis,inctley that
] some of them got out OF bed to learn
! the cause. Persons residing in Mount
! vernon, East Chester, in Westchester
county. say that the shock was felt
at 1920 r. NJ: and appeared to paes from
sOutheasterly to q northwesterly direc-
non. Many were greatly alarmed, believ-
ing that some dreadful explosion had CO.
CURED in the neighborhood. On the line Of
the New Haven railroad the shock was felt
as far east as Stamford or Harlem railroad
lido. 1t was very severe especially in tho
villages north Of White Plains. At Mount

Cured there ut 1924 p. NJ At Williamsa
Drfdge, FOrdham and Mount Hope, in the
twenty fourth ward of this city, it was also
very perceptiole. New houses built in the
most substantial manner, and proof against
severe storms, were shaken from theif
foundations to the roots, causing great
terre2 to the occupants.
At Spuyten Duyvel the cOncussiOn wac

many Of the houses lights were kept burn

were on tne alert for . repetition of the
shocks. One of the mounted DatrOlmen
says that 1t terrified his horse 30 that tho
animal became almost unmanageable. The
shock was very distinct at TarrytOwn.
and persons were so alarmed as to RIM out
Of doors.
The earthquake was felt very distinctlS
at White Plains. Accounts vary as to tho
direction OF the shock. some of those who
felt lt being Of the opinion that 1t lasted 40
long as fifteen seeOnds, while others limit 10
to i've seconds. The general direction ei
the noise, accO npanied by slight oscillS,
