Grange Festival at STANDARD Grove
Grange, No. 4Ol.

The second Annual Festival Of our
grange was had Dec. 4th, in memory
of the national organization of
Oranges, and as ample preparations
had been made and a general good
time expected, we had looked forward
with some anticipations. But when the
time drew near, 0, what time The
snow had left us, regular thaw had
set in, and dense fog had hung over
us during the day and as the time was
drawing near for our happy greetings,
we were threatened with drizzling rain
for the night. Yet when our tables
were set, which was at half past five p.
L., we had at least one hundred
grangers, including their families, pres
emf, with keen appetites for the repast
that awaited them. Among the SUBJ
stantials to appease the inner man were
turkey and chicken ixings, got up in
all the various ways that good farmers
wives know just how to do, together
with pies, cakes and sundry nick nacks
too numerous to mention. And oys-
ters we'll, we didn't have any. In
fact, we had no use for them. Our ap-
petites had been coaxed along until
we feared we had done more than
Justice to ourselves.
The tables were then cleared off
and after little respite some good
singing was started, and next in turn
was speaking for the good of the order
and appropriate to the occasion, and
then without any regular programme
we had singing at intervals and enjoy
ed the balance of the time in cheerful
conversation till half past nine, when
we broke up and went toour respective
homes G.. WIS.

Strange Affection.

Correspondence ofthe Mazomauie Sickle.
I have two grade Alderny calves
that came last January, and the wealth
er was SO severe that | put them into
the stable with the horses and kept
them there until spring. The horses
were very kind to them, and the calves
soon became much attached to the
horses. They would call after them
when they were taken from the stable,
and would appear much pleased when
they returned. [ put them into the
horse pasture in the spring, and l OBJ
served that when | took the horses up
to work the calves would follow close to
their heels and seemed to be much
distressed when they were not allowed
to leave the pasture. When the horses
took position in the pasture to fight
flies, the calves would stand Just in
front: of their fore legs under their
necks and at right angles with them,
and when the horses laid down the
calves were as close to them as posi-
BILE. They paid no attention to cattle
in the road, or to COWS when they were
driven by the pasture; but when the
horses were driven along the road,
they would run along the fence and
keep close to them until the cross
fence stopped them.
This fall | turned them into the yard
with the other stock, and they seemed
to be afraid Of even their own mothers,
and kept to themselves until they hap
pened to see the horses in the stable.
when they rushed in and commenced
to lick them; and the horses seemed to
be greatly pleased with them, and allow
ed them to eat oats from the feed box
with them. [ am not able to say
whether the calves OF the horses are the
most fond Of the other, but I can say
that I have no other four animals on
the farm that agree as we'll as they do.
[ shall keep them together this win
ter and note the result. E. W.

Strange. but TRUE.

1t is but natural for people suffering
with Consumption, Coughs, Severe Colds,
or any other disease of the Throat and
Lungs, to pu. off from day to day buying
an article that they know has cured their
neighbor, friend, or relative, yet they have
no faith in it until it is too late. If you
will go to your Druggist, JAMES ROBERTS,
and get a bottle of BoscHEE's GERMAN
SYRUP, your immediate cure is as certain
us YOU live; it has lately been introduced
in this country from Germany. Sample
Bottles of this medicine can be obtained
for 10 cents to try its superior virtue.
Regular size 70 cents. Try it, two doses
will relieve any case.

A note from Prof. J.. B. Hudson, the
eminent elocutionist, brings us the
gratifying news that he will give an
entertainment at Dodgeville some time
next week. The Professor has Civ
en- entertainments atthis place in times
past which were eminently satisfactory
to his large audiences, but for the ben
eft of those who may not have heard
him heretofore, we append few OF the
many favorable notices he has received
at the hands Of individuals and the
press:
Prof L. B. Hudson has often given readings to the
citizens of Milton and always secures large audi
ence We take pleasure in recommending him as an
eocu ZIONIST OF rare power to please aad INSTRUCT

stopped ut the house OF Mr.. Stillwell,
in The town Of Fayette, and asked for
lodging, Mr.. Stiilwell makes a prac-
tice of never turning person away
who requests hospitality, and Of course
took The stranger in. During the even

claiming that he had recently worked
for man in Bianchardville, and that
he had stopped the night before in the
Convey house in Argyle, but if at any
time he gave his name, Mr.. Stillwell
had forgotten it. In the morning he
was seen by little girl to remove a
watch from "a nail in the room. but
thinking he only wanted to learn the
time, she no longer noticed him. A
few minutes after, he fed from the
house, with the watch and escaped into

greatly in vogue. The heavy Smyrna and Turk

and dark brown. embroidered with Chinese mon
