We never saw so many teams on the road to
Utica as the other day They seemed fairly to
creep out of the ground. There were over
thirty IN one string, all going to Gilberts.
! We congratulate the Homer directors on
having secured the service of Mr. Bowman for
teacher. The boys will hardly do with him
as they did with the one he succeeds
The Mendoza Mems last week made a state
ment that VIM. Cuthbcrtson thrcshcd twenty
one hundred and cighty-onc bushels of oats in
one day, staked down three times, moved once
distance of 215 miles, ,hrcshcd until the mid.
die OF the afternoon and took .',,. lie chal-
lengcS any one to beat it. Pcdro's opinion is
that it is IA hoax. The Warrick machine will
turn out rs much grain in day as any on the
ridge, and as for experienced workmcn, Mr..
brennan, or long John, can not be surpassed
at feeding, having been at the business for %
years We advise the Ophir Meas man not to
stretch it so much
Mrs. Thos. Orr and family have gone to lro
quois.
The dance at Mr. Phillips last week was
good. He will have another on Wednesday
evening Sept. 26th at which he extends cor
dial invitation to all.
Some of our neighbors are having II good
time jangling over an old lantern; in fact they
are having picnic all to themselves.
Among our happy ones last week were Mary
Mclaughlin of Dimmick and Mr.. lIuckins of
Maine. They have gone to reside in that far
eastern state.
The Rynearson brothers intend going to-
Kansas in few days where they will purchase
land. They will be missed here, especially
Neal who can sing about that pretty little
gal the gal he left behind him"
Potatoes in this vicinity are full crop and
too cheap to take to town.
Our worthy DR.. Houtze is having gay time
prairie chickens, The doctor is
a capital shot and his dog is one Of the best in
the country.
The young man that had his hand taken off
by thresher last week is doing well under
the care of DR.. IIoutzc. Miss Ella Kimblc is
also recovering under the doctors care.
The parsonage Of the Troy Grove German
Catholic Church was burned down last Fri
day. All the priests furniture and library
were destroyed, including some books that can
never be replaced-the church had a very mar
row escape. Great praise Is due to Mr. Jno.
Klein for his efforts in saving the church, The
fire was no doubt the work of an incendiary.

The New York dailies for the past week or
two have been odorous with the revelations of
Boss Tweed, who has finally consented to tell
all he knows about the robbery Of the city
eight or ten years ago by the Tweed ring. He
smuts large number Of names that have hith-
cro stood pretty high IN public estimation,
chiefly men who were republican senators at
Albany IN Tweed's time. To Il dozen or more
he paid from $1,000 to $4,000 each to vote for
the city charter under which the wholesale
pIundcring was made possible Being asked
why he named only republicans, Tweed said
the democrats were in such a minority as gen.
orally not to be worth buying, He also says
that the ring had TO spend double the money
there would have been any need Of on account
of the determined opposition the ring met at
Albany from Horace Greeley and such promi-
