perversc, uncomfortable heat. stands

TiltOn's lawyers while awaiting the
verdict Of the jury, passed the time
in an ante-rOOm of the court house,
discussing the merits of a new COM
pound, known as "ROman punch"
AS consequence Gushing scorns all
other drinks as being too common
place for a man of his calibre, and
regularly three times per day, Cush-
inc calls at Thompson's for his glass
of "Roman punch with ice in it, and
says 'just charge it will ye.'
Speaking of Chicago reminds us
that DR.. B. III. Kirk has just return
ell from the far famed "abodc Of wick
edness." His description Of the Gar

by "Cousin Jim," who you will re-

The Doctor thinks Chicago is nice
town, but wonders chow in the name
Of sense the lawyers all make liv-
ing" The query admits of ready
answer; its 'just as the fishes live at
sea, the big ones eat up the little
ones" He says nothing regarding
the Doctors, probably thinking that
they arc privileged characters, even

Our Fourth of July celebration, al
though differing i'll some of its minor
details from the ordinary celebration,
was still grand success. Ruby in
augnrated the exercises by exploding
jews harp and box of IIerrick's
pills under tin pan at daylight. At
sunrise John Shreve formed his mill
tia i'll line and marched into Thomp-
sons and stayed a week. Shortly af-
forwards BOOhcr mounted the railing
surrounding the public well. and told
the crowd that Lyman Daniels was a
hCarGcr property holder than Doc Ga
ger. At o'clock Doctor James
Seybert cleared his throat and intro
duced the orator of the day, Prof |
Edward Gushing. The Professor
took as his subject, 'What L know
about cheese presses and their lcgiti-
mate uses" illustrated by means Of
practical applications from the mnolcr
Standing Of our cheese makers. Gushing
evidently understood his subject and
was listened to with marked atten-
ton. Next in order was an adjourn

John Sharer made visit to the |
Cheese Factory, and has not Yet re-
turned. His friends fear that he has |
wandered off, while in a pre-occupied |
state Of mind, brought about by too
frequent visits to the aforesaid Fac |
tory. The celebration closed with a
grand illumination i'll the evening.
Said illumination consisting i'll the
burning of match box and paper
collar; said articles having been fur
nished by German Brown free of |
expense. When the Independent |
Province celebrates again, ''may l be
there to see"
