of the evening.
The japanese stand of Misses Phillips
and Howard was much admired.
OF course, Col. J. B. Phillips was the
eynOsure of the occasion, and with his ae-
complished lady, filed very ereditably the
position of host and hostess of the gala oc-
casiOn.
The receipts we're wholesome, and 90
towards the purchase of a bell for the new
church.
Myers & POska, who recently opened the
new clothing store in Orwell, are WORKING
into very fair trade, and giving good sat
isfactiOn to their customers. They have a
good stock Of goods and a neat and order
ly store, and there is no reason why they
should not reap the rewards of their well
laid plans of business.
While at OrwvH. the other day, we were
laid under obligation to Mr.. C. R. Stone
for pleasant ride about town, and among
other places, passed through the English
sediment northeast of the village, called
sometimes New Britain, and sometimes
New England-remarkabl for the thrift
and probity Of its nhabitants-well-to-do
in the world. their farms, crops and build
ings are but the index of thoughtful care
and diligent industry. The region has
come to be called the garden of the town
ship. There is sturdiness, back bone and
intelligence among the people, that leaves
its impress upon the neighbOrhood. A
pleasant interview was enjoyed at the
house of Mr.. Edward Crook, who is a rep
resentative msn-as well among his neigh
borS and friends, as in the affairs of the
| township, as he has been called to fill the
place of trustee, and his general intelli-
gence and sound judgment made him a
valuable town officer. The A., Y. & P.
road was much indebted to these qualities
for its subscriptions and its putting
through. The neighborhOod lying east of
the centre, q new road parallel to the turn
pike, has been opened by and for this peo-
pie, for their more readily reaching the
station, which was passed over in our
route, and found to be pretty well worked
for q new road.
On reaching the station, we were invited
TO take look at pair of matched, starw-
berry roam, three-year old colts, sired by
Parker's George Wilkes, Jr.. as good stock
as any in the region. They are very prom
Using, and have taken one or two premiums
at the township fair. Mr.. Stone wishes to
turn them into currency, and they can be
had at bargain.
Eds. Tel.-Having recently returned
from a trip through Northern Indiana, a
few words in reference to crops, manufac-
turing, &c., may not be uninteresting.
The wheat crop promises an immense
yield. The farmers say it never looked
better; a large breadth was sown last fall.
Corn and oats look well. The apple crop
will be light; peaches, cherries and all of
the smaller fruits, in abundance. We spent
some days in South Bend, city of about
1900. 1t is the finest manufacturing
town in Indiana. The St. Joe River fur
nishes an abundant supply of water, which
propels a vast amount of machinery.
will only speak of one of the many manu-
featuring establishments in South Bend
that of the
sTUDEBAKER BROS.
This establishment is near the depot of the
L. S. & NJ. S. Ry., and is the largest wsg-
on factory in the world. Through the
kindness of DR.. Underwood, l was intro
duced to the proprietors, who very kindly
showed me through their extensive works.
During the year 1876 they made sixteen
thousand and five hundred vehicles! en-
ploying $50 hands. They are now turning
out 300 wagons and carriages week
working on the ten hour system would be q
wagon every twelve minutesl They man
ufacture 20 different kinds of wagons, to
say nothing about the great variety of car
riages they manufacture. They use the
best of material, and any one purchasing
their work once, will do so again, provided
they live long enough to wear out the first
purchase.
The festival held in this place on the 22d
was success; over 800 was received, and
it was q very poor evening for lemonade
and ice cream.
DR.. Slough is remodeling painting and
papering the ''City Hotel" preparatory to
his entertainment on the 4th of July.
b. ]. Stone, Jr., leaves to-day for TOle-
do, O., where he expects to remain for a
short time.
Mrs. Emma Webb, formerly from this
county, now of Buffalo, N. Y, is here on a
visit to her friends. OBSERVER.
Eds. TeI-Last Saturday the horsemen
and fast horses met at the track to try
their speed and blow out their nostriIs.
Yale Rice was on hand with the Orwell
Boy, and made his mile in 2: AZ, and with
out doubt he can be got down to 2:35; this
horse is well trained and docile. While
driving, Mr.. Rice was seized with dizziness
and fell from his sulky. Though the sui
ky was upset, the horse remained quiet
until help came, and no one was hurt.
John Parker has fine colt, that bids
fair, when trained, to lift some Of the
purses.
A visit to the Orwell Huckleberry cheese
factory found everything looking we'll and
in good order. A shipment of their cheese
is soon to be made to Higley & Co.
Graham & Rowley, have bought and
shipped over Is, 900 pounds of wool, most
ly bought at 45 cents. They are still buy
ing, and pay 40 cents. the outside price
for the best wool. 1t is generally safe to
sell when fair price can be had, for, as
in this case, delays are dangerous.
Mrs. c. B. Snider, of Bloomfield is quite
feeble, with disease something like par
alysis. Hopes, however, are INDUCED that
she may recover.
Mr.. P. G. Carpenter is considerably in
disposed with threatened fever.
That supposed burial place of the Indi-
ans at the old landing on Grand River,
