of the Mansion House, Stevens Point,
last week. Dolph gives excellent sat
isfaction at the Point. We heard on
ly good Of the boy. He takes to run
ming hotel as naturally as babe to
the maternal font He's the Pap of
the House, mansion made with
hands consequential at the Point.
Sleep with him
We're looking for him, THAT man
who left six liver pills in green en-
yelope on our gate post the other
morning We want him. He's got
to send rs four new livers for our
boys, or we will inventory his anato-
my. Our four little fellows swallows
'em and that nice piece of greensward
reaching from the Kitchen door to a
little summer house VIII ere the wood
bine climbeth is now dirty highway
where weary feet ply like fast male
train till you can't see the brass but
tons for the dust, and there isn't
pice Of liver in the family as big as a
postage stamp. We want that dis
tributor Of the bowels Why anybody
think we had thousand boys to see
en- rulnin'.
We recently published local
stating that the cranberry crop in
Wood County was virtually destroyed
by the fire worm. We stated what we
supposed at the time was a fact, the
report reaching us from a most rella-
BILE source. We are glad to be able to
contradict the statement made While
some marshes have suffered very Sc
verely. still only small damage has
been done The fire worm does its
work rapidly, and ceases its devasta-
ton as quickly. We have been badly
scared, but we have not been very Sc
verely damaged after all Those
marshes along the line of the c.. B.
& NJ Railroad seem to have suffered
considerably, The marshes further
south, and along the line Of the Valley
Road never were 50 thrifty, promising
an abundant yield Mr.. Bearss' marsh
it is estimated will yield from two to
three thousand barrels, and other
marshes will do nearly as we'll 1t is
thought by some that the yield will be
in excess of any past year.
Our brother who makes the T'rjb-
une, who ,couldnt support Tilden, be-
fore he was nominated, but who has
swallowed the great reformer ! till you
can't see the brass buttons on the
split Of his "swallow tail, f" don't like
it at all because we accuse him of be-
/ ing in accord with the most treason
able clements Of 5he Democratic party.
He cant see how a once rebel can ev-
er become loyal, which is in exact OPP
position to democratic teaching which
inculcates the idea that there has been
no disIoyalty. Jacks logic is as weak
as his determination not to swallow
Tilden. When Jack says that we de
clare every man ''rebel at heart Who
shall see it duty to support Tilden,
he utters an untruth, knowing it so to
! be. But then we can stand Jack 5
Misrepresentation. He has got to
wal!ow in Democratic filth. and we
don't expect any political truth from
him during the campaign. Jack
knows that the Democracy are In SYM
pathy with the rebel element and that
nine hundred and ninety of every
thousand of those who fought to des-
troy the nation and who will do it
again when an opportune moment shall
arrive ardent supporters of Tilden,
with himself
1t was not exactly a verifcation
of bible utterance when seven women
should take hold Of one man, but
three Of 'em did actually tackle our
foreman, Paul, the other morning, al
leging that he had made the awful
charge that they were no better than
they ought to be, or something of the
kind. They took him when he was
full of breakfast and no fight, and
though he could have jerked the whole
covey bald headed, he didn't dot, but
very Paul like submitted, and would
argue the matter with them. Now we
don't know any of the facts, but we
will venture the assertion that Paul
Fontaine has never said ought unbe-
