comparison with last season. Where We common
y have drifts the first of June, on the side
hills. it was all gone in April and the grass has
got good start, so that sheep apd young cattle
get their living the first of May. There has been
quite lot of grain sown and some potatoes plant
ed, but the most paying business in this town is
selling mineral water-two or three teams going
to the depot most every day, carrying six barrels
each. The old Bradley house, on the farm where
the spring is located, is being remodeled for a
boarding house, where they can keep invalds on
pure water, that is if any come from abroad, for
we have none at home.

would burn over his back pasture last Sunday, and
he did it most eifectually. burning not only the
grass bet what wooden fence there was around
handy. Some think he ill go to meeting next
Sabbath il he gets the fence built again in
Mr. Dowst went to Portland last week, after his
spring goods, and now his store looks quite like
