must come prepared 10 provide for themselves
as they have been unable to get any one to
keep a boarding tent.
1t was akin to the charge of the six hun
dred, only they were aching for one minute
each over the who distance-fifty miles. Now
they are aching from free use of arnica, and
other washes to allay the pain.
The little boys will now leave the melon
fpatches alone and trudge off to school next
week with slate and school books under their
arms. Good little boys-good to have their

Our people will not forget to attend the lee
ture of Mrs. ii. f. Starrett, tomorrow eye

the merits Of her lectures rather than with an
intention to flattery.
We notice by the Mitonian. published at
Milton, Pa, that there was reunion of the
Marsh family at that borough, on the 10th
inst. In an account of the proceedings we find
the following: "Capt I'D. Marsh, of Kansas,
also made some very happy remarks, interlard-
ed with fine specimens OF the dry western HUI
NOR for which he is famous"
Twenty-Five wagons loaded with grain came
from Ottawa county on TucsdaY-mtf a good
quality of wheat. The drivers complained of
the bad condition of~the roads and were not
very complimentary of our enterprise in their

we would make any effort to gain it, and the
expense would be comparatively small.
