NOTES FROM GENEVA.

Editor Register:
In recent number of The REGIS
TER you ask for items from the different
townships.
News is really very scarce with us
at present; good health throughout the
township is the best can think of.
No death has occurred since the
drowning of Mr.. Evans and NJ. G. North,
rup's child last February.
Farmers have plenty OF good corn,
well housed; good lot of cattle; plenty
of hay, and no herd law-and this las,
item we are especially thankful for
and when spring comes we expect To
fight the 'hoppers with all our might
a. we did the herd law. We can't tell
which of the two is the worst scourge.
There is quite a good lot OF stock
hogs around US and none of poor stock.
In YOUR last issue you speak Of Il
company that almost caught wolf.
About three weeks since J. ID knowltOn
was aroused early one morning and be-
held six full grown gray wolves chasing
and swapping at his dog. He seized his
gun and administered dose OF shot that
gave a lasting quietus to one of them,
which proved to be a very large full
grown wolf.
Wolves are great pest and we hope
more will be killed.
Thousands of rabbits have paid the
debt of nature since the snow fell and
mostly sent to the city for a cheap meat !;
and thus another pest has been largely
thin ned.
And now about cottonwood tree
which we have. 1t was set out 8 years
ago the size of mans thumb, and was
broken down the next winter 1t is now
at least 80 feet high and measures IL
inches through one foot from the ground.
