The Episcopal Sociable held last even

The Episcopal Sociable held last even
ing at the residence of Mr.. E. r. Smith,
on the Two River Road, was one of the
most enjoyable affairs of the kind i'm
aginable, and resulted in large addition
to the funds of tile church. The spaci-
GUS rooms of the elegant residence were
filled with people who went knowing
that an evening with Mr.. and Mrs. Smith
as host and hostest was an inducement
not often held out, and which was sstoo
good to lose" We do not remember of
having seen party of old and young who
seemed to enjoy themselves better than
did those who were present last evening,
and the late hour at which the assenb-
lage broke up was evidence that all hands
were determined to make the most of
the opportunities presented.

MAPLE GROVE ITEMS. Mr.. Joseph
Maggie narrowly escaped being killed on
Wednesday of last week. The accident
occurred as he was in the act of driving
team of young horses from the barn to
the hay field, when by a sudden move
ment of the wagon he slipped and fell
to the ground, still holding the reins,
while being dragged at least twenty yards
until the wagon came in collision with a
stump, throwing the hay rack over Mr..
Maggie, who was attempting to regain his
feet, which resulted in dislocating his
shoulder and breaking two of his ribs
The horses, after jumping over a fence,
stood still till caught. The wagon was
considerably smashed up.
A few short days ago, in travelling
through the country, the eye could not
well rest on anything save the green
foliage of woods and fields. Now the
eye no more tires in gazing arc und at
the beautiful many hued fields that

country. The sweet odoriferous hay
fields have been shorn, and another
years produce saved and garnered

A certain absent minded lady individ-

answered, ''that he had not seen him

his diet was composed principally of
green fruits, peas, &C." The search is

WHEN J. E. Plumb & Bro. went into
the cigar business, in connection with
their extensive grocery trade, they got
just such a stock of domestic and foreign
cigars as would be in keeping with the
remainder of their stock, and as every
one knows that that means the very best,
we are not surprised to learn that the
sale of cigars is becoming quite fea-
fine cigar, we heartily recommend them.

For the first time in months, wheat
was worth one dollar and twenty cents
per bushel in this market on Tuesday,
and closed yesterday afternoon at 81. 10.
This unlocked for rise in the price will
probably have the effect to bring in
thousands of bushels now being boarded
by our farmers should the price keep
up-and thus relieve the straw on mon
ey matters. The rise is attributable to
the poor crops harvested in several for
eign countries, and it is hoped that the
price will be kept up until our farmers
have time to dispose of the last bushel in
the granery.

streets, section and quarter lines, cor

give the location of all business houses,

buildings, parks, etc. The wards col
ored differently, and also public grounds,
views of the first and second school
buildings, and other views, will embell-

are engaged in this work, have had con-
siderable experience in this and other
states in the map business, and we have
seen specimens of their work, so that we
feel confident that they will get up a
frst-class nap, and we hope the citizens
will patronize it literally.

eloquent address. 1t was inferior to Mr..

but it tended to show what he knew of
the Methodist Ministry, for which pro-
fession he has been at college this last
five years. After the address, the groom
treated the crowd, which was a large
one; then they all gayly proceeded to
the residence of the brides father, head

being one of the temperance society,
