MAPLE GROVE.

Several families have lately exchanged
| their old homesteads for home in the
far west, thinking perhaps, to find more
| contentment on the boundless prairie
than amid the hills and wales Of Maple
| Grove. We hope they will.
On the 9th of May last, Mr.. Daniel
Kelley erected two large splendid frame
barns, the construction of which being
executed under the .sl1ilful management
of Messrs. Finigan, Mechanics & Co.,
contractors and builders. 1t was the
largest days work of the Kind ever done
IN this vicinity. In the evening an en-
tertainment was given, which caused all
who participated therein, to forget aught
else save tie pleasures of the moment.
Thursday morning of last week, a
young man in the employ of Mr.. Ziegler,
(farmer) was kicked in the face by a
horse, breaking the jaw bone and LAGER
ating the flesh in a most frightful man
ner. DR.. O'Connen performed the OPP
Grafton of bone-setting, etc., in very
creditable manner. The young man is
Going well under the circumstances.
The past month, it appears, in regard
to the continued damp and nebulolls at
mosphere has considerably substantiated
the weather prophets predictions, as
published short time ago whether
actually aided by science or guess work,
it matters not, ard further, we have had
such remarkable winter, we should be
no less surprised at having a similar
spring considering we are a remarkable
people, living IL remarkable country,
and enjoying the blessings Of the most
remarkable year our glorious Republic
has ever witnessed since 1776. Ia refer
ing to the weather mentioned above, we
desired to say (but got lost that the too
frequent and violent transforms of May
kept the crops from presenting a more
| advanced and favorable aspect at present.
Near this neighborhood resides GER
tain man and wife, and sister of the
gentleman, a very eccentric relative as
will appear from the following: Ever
| since the gentleman married, his sister
conceived the very peculiar notion that
her brother was not at all worthy of his
lady this impression, in time, became
50 fixed in her mind that she kept con-
tinually importuning the wife to accept
$500, and betake herself to California !;
but it seems she did not make up her
mind to fulfill her sister in laws affec-
Tomato request, until about two months
ago, she, in turn, became impressed
with the belief that she was not in her
proper sphere, concluded to satisfy the
sister, and to all appearances deserted
her homo forever. The lady did not di-
rect her steps toward the proposed place
of refuge, but visited her relatives some
where in the southern part of this state,
where, we presume, she had a pleasant
time. After the lapse of the above men
toned time, her folks induced her to
retrace her hayward steps, which she
| did, arriving home about week ago, to
the great surprise OF the sister, who I'M
mediately demanded the $500, which to
her still greater surprise was not pro-
duced. The reader can imagine the
gentle feelings of gratitude the very ,sf-
fechonate sister exhibited when she
found herself in this lamentable perdica-
| ment. At least, we would advise all who
feel disposed to express a word of SYM
pathy in her ear, to have their hair clip
ed close or take the Consequences
Should you not, don't blame us,
please. d. 3. Ell.
