Rev. W. McGTegor, Sterling: Mr.
FinLayoon, town clerk of Sterling, in
the latter part Of the seventeenth

the earl whether he had seen the

laysor. "What sort of thing is
it ?" ut isl replied the earl, 'a
tree that has grown out Of a goose's
mouth, from stone the bird has
swallowed, and which she bears
about with her voyage round the
loch. It is now in full fruit of the
most exquisite flavor. Finlayson,' .
he added, 'can you, with all your
powers of memory and fancy, match

greater than in the spring OF 1879. The increase IL
four and SIX tenths per cent in Illinois. twelve and
one-tenth per cent in Iowa, SIX and one tenth per
cent IN Kansas. seven and four-tenths per cent In
Missouri, three and five-tenths in Wisconsin.
The acreage seeded IN oats this spring, IN com.
