ments complete.
H. I'll. Earl is P. NJ. which ac-
cording to Nasby is one of the rich
est gifts under this government. he
also runs a confectionery store, in
connection with the Office.
The village is steadily growing,
and each year some new buildings
are added, some additions made to
old ones until now we have place
of considerable Importance.
As 1t has been a long time since
you heard from Us, and our town,
through the columns of the HERALD
concluded to send you few items
that may be of general interest.
Our only hotei is owned and
run by our popular and esteemed
landlord "Hi Varrell." "Hi" keeps
perhaps as good if not the best hotel
in Grant County-so the people say.
Our merchants are all doing
fair amount of business. Anton
Schmi.t has filled the old Parker
store full of we'll selected stock of
general merchandise and is driving
business ahead quite lively.
Dick Hooking is our popular
harness make: aud you will have TO
go beyond the boundaries of this
county to beab him. 1t is said that
his work is unusually cheap and we
will vouch for the style and quality.
&C. W. Loney has associated
Wall Rogers with himself in his old
business and they support very fair
stock of goods and get reasonable
amount of trade. They now keep
good line of dry goods, choice gro
ceries, some drugs, DC, &c.
}. ]. Leayitt and S. J. Merritt
are our only resident physicians and
are both pronounced to be very good.
These comprise all The business men
and houses, unless it is the machine
business which is conducted in the
interest OF the farming community
by Ohio Shrader, and from indica-
tons we are led to believe he gets
his share Of that.
j. Randall, the jeweler, keeps
also a confectionery stand, with
restaurant attached and deals in the
pure, unaGulterated crusade drinks /;
such as lemonade, pop, cistern water
and sick like. We still license the
sale of alcoholic and spurious liquors
here in Fennimore. And license is
granted to Casper Fritz and Anto n
Schmitt. The former runs in con-
nection with his saloon meat mar
ket, the latter billiard table.
Sunday jane 9TH the united
brethren held their third baptising
this spring about seven miles from
town and sixty-two persons were
baptized, all of age or nearly so.
We believe this to be the largest
baptising ever done in one day by one
church in this county. At the other
two baptisings this spring, | think
they added enough more to swell it
to one hundred. They were all
emersed but eleven. About one
thousand person witnessed the cere-
monies. The man that has done all
this good for his God and his fellow
man is named Hood.

APPLETREE BoRERs.-Now is the
time to examine the trunks and large
limbs of appletrees for borers. They
are more numerous this year than com
mon and at this season they have not
penetrated the wood so far but they
may be easily found with knife
Wherever there are borers you will
see a rough looking slit or crack in the
bark about an inch and quarter long
with the borings or sawdust protrud
ing. This sawdust is a sure sign of
destruction within. There are gener
ally four grubs in each place. They
must be dug out at whatever sacrifice
of bark and patience or the tree is ru-
ined. Cut into the tree about an inch
above the wound aud carry the knife
downwards removing a strip of bark
to the bottom of the scar. This will
generally reveal three or four separate
burrows that by examining you will
find to contain each grub little be-
low the surface of the wood. A little
later in the season the grubs become
more rapacious and bore through the
tree or upwards along the heart and
are very difficult to find. The crabs
Especially the Transcendent-are
attacked much oftener than other APP
pletrees.

JUDICIAL -MoRRow VS. Woop.

JUDICIAL MORROW VS. WOOD
The case of Anne Morrow against
James Wood, tried at the last Septem-
Der term of our Circuit Court, and
which resulted in verdict and iudg-
ment of $500 damages against Wood,
was by the latter appealed to the SUI
preme Court, and the Judgment of
that Court reversing the judgment of
the Circuit Court and ordering a new
trial was announced on the second of
this month. The action was brought
by Miss Morrow, school teacher, to
recover damages on account of Wood
having caused her to be arrested for
Furnishing his boy for refusing to study
geography in school, when his father
had told him not to do so. Many in.
teresting questions under our school
laws arose in the case, as those of our
readers will remember, who read the
charge of the Circuit Court, which
was published at length at the time.
We have not read the opinion of the
Supreme Court in the case, and can
not say what their decision is on the
question of rights of parents and
teachers over school children, but will
as soon as received lay before the HER
AID readers the views of the court up
on this point. The case was argued
in the Supreme Court by Geo. Glenn
eutson, Esq, for the appellant Wood,
and by Hon. Geo. Hazelton and Hon.
O. b. Thomas for Miss Anne Morrow.

CuRIOUs CHURCH TROUBLE.

The Baptist Society in West Ded-
ham. Mass, is in trouble with It's pas
tor. The Boston Herald thus describes
the origin of the difficulty: Christmas
evening the Society had a social party
at the vestry, and, having enjoyed a
supper. some Of the younger persons
nresent commenced the innocent game
Of .drop the handkerchief This the
nastor. Rev. s. L. Frost, didn't ike, and
told them that the church was built
for a house of God, aud not for kissing
parties.' Now, Mr.. Frank Soule ami
his three sons were present who, by the
way, are part of the main stay OF
the church), and one of the sons asked
the minister what harm it would do for
the children to have a good time. Thls
remark the father also seconded 'Oh!
yes says the parsOn, you and your
| three ungodly sons would turn the
| church INTO a card-roOm and gambling
shop The younger son overheard the
remark, and, with pugillstle teeihS,
exclaimed: Father, knock hlmi l
would if he told me that more than
| once This OVerZealOus action, with
other things which have reached the
ears Of members of the Society, raised
| a feeling of indignation in the church.
| and the pastor was advised to resign
He at first refused to do 50, but, beng
told that money enough to warm the
| church could not be obtained toward
his support, he concluded that 1t was
best to resign"
