the miry mud. 1t is almost impossible for tue
farmers hereabouts to get into town With thels
produce, and, as consequence OF tue super
abundance Of country mud, all the products OF

DIVORCES.
The bad condition Of the roads, however, did
not prevent the opening OF the April term Of
Court Wednesday morning By Judge Wentworth.
The Judge, always a1fsb}e and bland in manner,
seemed more than usually so as he united the
knot for several discousolate COUPLES, who,
either On the grounds Of lncompatibilitv Of tenn
par, drunkenness, Or cruelty, wished to aeTer the
tie that bound them together in domestic infellc-

THE suiDAY-scHooL CONCERT
at the Methodist Church Sunday evening Was
largely attended, and Was 3 pleasing entertain
ment to both pupils and parents. Mr. s. John
SOD, the superintendent, had charge Of the nf-

when another Of these concerts is given that
some philanthropic individual will make it bts
business to draw in few dozen OF the little
Arabs who OCCUPY 80 prominent place on our
streets, particularly Sundays. These lawless ur-
chius would hear some good music. and perhaps
the influence OF such scene would not be lost
on their uniformed natures Tha concert Was
good, the Children ncquitting themselves well

Monday evening, the sweets Of
MAPLE SUGAR
Were tested at thB Grant House under Metho-
dist auspices, by large number Of people, who
claimed TO possess - sweet tooth for 81 good

ty Of the season Was clearly seen by the rapidity
With which this 6accharine substance disappear

teeth present Prof. Heyer, noted teacher Of
music ID this vicinity, astoniahed the natives BY
his sklllfm manipulation Of the grand piano,
much to tho delight OF the pleased spectators. !
