The corn and tobacco crop Is considered
very good; but the wheat and !!oat crops are
a failure on account of the wet weather. n
Politics are at discount just now but the

ONE Hour AND is MARRIED THE NRxT.-
From the Oshkosh Northeastern Half
mile south of the Vinland Baptist church
stands farmhouse on the west side of the
road, on slight knoll, somewhat back from
the beautiful "ridge road" which traverses
that romantic locality. It was here that oc-
cured little bit of romance on Sunday
which commenced with .horsewhippiDg,
had runaway for an interlude, and wound
up with wedding. A widow lady resides
in the aforementioned mansion wi b her
daughters, one Of whom has arrived at a mar
riageable aye, and Of course are the reel.
pients of more or less attention from hopeful
and expectant young men OF manageable
intentions. .s.
Mary Jane was a young lady OF seventeen
summers, rather attractive, and had melted
the stony heart Of young man named
c. carpenter by trade. formerly OF this
city but who at present resides in Fond du
Lac. c. had made frequent visits to the
house and courted Mary Jane to the displea-
sure of the old lady, who finally secured q
borsewhip, which she concealed In the usual
hiding place-the mattress of the bed-and
threatened If "'e hever came near the 'ouse
again she would thrash i'm within hinch of
lis life." . - s>.
Last Sunday, however, the young gentle.
man had come all the way from Fond du
Lac to visit the Object of his undying fl ,me.
He drove, with q spanking neE rig. through
the gate and up the driveway to the house.
The old lady had fire in her eye. While
Mary Jane was busily engaged. in robing
herself in her pretiiest babiliments, her mo.
ther bounced upon her waiting, lover like
kuklux on southern schooimsster, and
proceeded to warm him in way that he
thought very peculiar. The old lady has the
nerve of lion, and she laid down the blows
thick and fast; young c. kept driving
round aud round, trying to shield himself IN
the carriage-top. It was 20 go; she was
getting the best Of him. He finally drove to
the gate, and as be jumped out to open it
she caught him by the THROAT, cut him fear.
