Mr.. MnLIKAN: The weather still con-
tinues dry and warm.
The farmers are longing for rain, as
wheat is needing it badly. We think
the roads are needing rain about as badly
as the wheat.
The health of this locality is unusually
good for this season of the year.
The Sabbath School of this place f1uc-
tuates like gold; it is one week up the
next down.
William Myers, the boot and shoe
maker of this place, hiss got his new
shop raised, and is already putting the
roof on.
Miss Rozilla Bernhisel, ofsOhio, ar
rived here last Saturday, and she designs
spending the winter with us.
1t is the practice of some to always
speak well Of their neighbors whether
the be erI or just, whether they do right
or wrong. Our mottoi is "honor to whom
honor is due"

Mr.. and Mrs. Juno, accompanied BY
Mrs. Norwood, took drive yesterday To
the south part of the lake. Now friend
Millikan, if you would enjoy pleasant,
romantic and picturesque drive, come out

We had had gun. The many boats we
saw were flied with fishermen who were
very busily engaged in hauling in the
finny beauties. Any one ever having
seen the sea of Galilee will be very much
reminded of it when seeing the Maxim
kuckee Lake, for they bear great Ie-
semblance. Both being longest north
and south. and both entered at the north
by small stream which flows through a
marsh. Then we have Marmont at the
northwest angle, which will answer to
Capernau IN. where Christ dwelt for three
years during his ministry also, the home
of Andrew and Peter And, on the cast
we have Maxinkuckee, corresponding To
Gergesa, near by which place the 5000
mead of hogs drowned themselve, after be
coming possessed of the devil.
The sea of Galilee is about three time as
large as Maxinkuckee lake
The dwelling of Henry Foster, the
blacksmith, was on last Thursday broken
open and entered by the notorious "whis.
ky TOPPER" whom the famous Mary Har
dy, of Argos, attempted TO make hash OF
last spring, when he tried TO enter hel
house. She first threw hot water on him
and then went at him with the hatche,
TO chop him up; but finding she had not
sufficiently cooked him, she wearied {,
the job and desisted. Mr.. Foster anu
family were absent from home when the
"vagabond" entered their house, it Is
thought 10 get some whisky, whether lac
found any VI not, We do not know. He
found barrel of cider, however, out oil
which he pulled the bung, and emptied
the contents all over the floor. Should
such men be pitieG, or punished?
JUNO.
