good one and every piece well sung that it
would be invidious to say If any one was better
than another.
1t would not be out of place to say that the

with such talent In our midst we shall not have

BUYING Houses IN THE CIrY.-CountIy people
are in the habit of buying horses from the City
Passenger Railway and other companies in the
city. Sometimes they are badly sold, but here
is evidence of even a worse economy
Some months ago. G. A. Ritzel, of MISSIONER,
Somerset county, Nd, bought horse from the
city which he thought to be all right, with the
exception that he had slight attack of what he
supposed to be tho epzootic. 1t proved to be
something more serious, and his mules took the
disease, four Of which have died from it, the
last one quite recently.
