Rain, rain, rain-not for forty days and
nights, but for five months with Dut slght
iuGermissiOns. The winter of lS7l-2 was re-
markable for being the dryest ever known,
that OF 1878 for being the coolest, ana that
1854 as being the WeJtest Wltnln the past
four thousand years.
Kuhn n Tnrpin delivered over TO our
fellow citizen, j. Milton Parker, last Monday
morning, a handsome new carriage, which
they made for him. The price OF IL was
SI4l5. and il is a wonder how such a Deauti-
ful and excellent piece OF WORK can DE so
cheaply put up in this place. some OF the
material came from Paris, France, the seat
OF luxury and art. The front part is SO ar
ranged that ii can be closed up for winter
ast.. and opened for summer. We feel ex-
ceedingly proud that such an admirable
specimen of work can be made in our town.
Indeed, it would be an honor to any town
or city, for in taste of design and skill IN
workmanship il cannot be eXcelled any
where. Persons living South would do well
to bear this in mind and buy mere instead
OF sending further North for their vehicles.

can see this business through. He knows
how n Church should be built, and can get
the money TO build it. He Will begin at
once and we hope everybody will end a
helping hand, and soon the Work snail De
