Read the thermometrical weather
report for last week, and then imagine,
if you can, those of our readers who do
not live i'm the north, just what balmy
and soft brcezcs we have had for sew
eral days. Not II particle Of snow, and
but very little freezing.
J. NJ. Foster, of Chase township, We
believe, paid flying visit to Baldwin,
Monday night. He fled on the early
morning train, back to his own little
kingdom, where his narrowed soul can
receive the fiattcring homage Of his
subjects. Alas poor king!

thing for It's many patrons, by making
IL present to each one of them, thoir

;,s whole, it was n handsome gift, and
the spirit of the donors will no doubt
he duly appreciated by all concerned.
We learn the names of several Of our
settlers who lost pine timber by having
it blown down during the storm last
Saturday night. !. ID. Blood, Yates,
estimates the fall on his place Mt about
81, 900; A. Blanchard, the same amount;
and Elliott Kline, Elk township, about
~, 900 feet. If the settlers who have
had timber thus lcveled, can put 1t In
to tho river and sell 1t, or manufacture
it into lumber, they will not lose so
much; otherwise, it will be no trifling
loss.
The storm Of last Saturday night did
no small amount of damage to timber
i'm this section of country. Between
this point and the Cleveland place,
east of Forman, we learn that some
seventy trees were blown across the
+. 4 =. NJ. Railway. West of Bald
win, In some localities, the trees were
strcwn 40 thick, us to cause delay
to the freight which left here ut about
II O'clock Saturday night, and 1t did
not reach Huntington till Sunday fore
noon.
On Friday last, Mcssrs. q. X. New
romb and T.. Saunders, of the Flint &
Pcrc Marquette Railway, were in Bald
win, for the purpose Of paying taxes to
the townships of the west side of the
county. The township Of Yates re-
ceive,l its taxes, except those for school
purposes. Those were objected to.
In Fix township, objection was made
to District No. 2, and no taxes were
paid the township. Several hundred
dollars have been paid into this Dis
trict, and no school house built yet.
We learn that some 1000 was due this
town, but not one dollar was paid. 1t
Is sail that tho company propose to
examine the records, which, II true,
looks ~ though they thought some
thing wrong with the management of
our township affairs.
The attention of our readers IL called
to the notice given elsewhere by the
Secretary of Lake County Agricultural
In effect that the annual meet
ing will be held In Baldwin, Tuesday,
January 18th. We trust that the citi-
zcns Of our county will show due ap-
prcciation Of the importance of this en-
tcrprise, and give TO II their cordial
md hearty support. Those who are
not already, should become members
