Our young friend Joe Huffman, of

The object of the publication seems

The time is approaching when the
thrifty individual will gather up and
squeeze out couple ofbushels of rot
ten apples, add them to a barrel of

worked up an invention to build fires
in the morning2 IfEdison would at
tend to this matter what heaven
this world would become.
The rising generation is making
its mark. Will Hambidgs caught
"a nine year old at his money drawer

The next county fair is beginning
to be talked over, and farmers are
thinking of what they will exhibit.
1t is safe to predict, that in the fruit,
seed and vegetable department, the
fair will surpass any in the history of
the society.
We are losing faith in our early
preceptors. One by one their teach
ings are laid away. 1t is now said
that the lark-to our childish imagi-
nation, the emblem of earliest dawn
lis the latest sleeper among Ameri-
can birds.
Why is it that a tramp who lever
works, is universally cussed and the
bane of all officers of justice, can al
ways get a good living and about so
cents worth of beer a day, while a
hard working citizen, with the well
wishes of all, ekes out a bare exis-
tence +?
An impromptu address in the park
on Monday afternoon, 0 the subject
of ''The Immortality of the ring-tail-
ed animal that sat on a rail' succeed
ed in breaking up the school in the
Court House. The teacher ought to
have punished them. Not one held
up his hand for permission to retire.
Rev. Cowden is looking after a re-
novator of clothing, who did some
satisfactory work for him last week
and received a Recommendation"

Give an old piano to a poor family
with a lot of grown up daughters, and
they'll beat hell out of it while the
washboard grows rusty. Put a lazy
man on a croquet ground and he will
do more work in repairing the uneven
ground with a rake than he would put

The family of frugal, industrious
habits and wise forethought, who
spent their idle moments last spring
in raising a garden patch in their
yards, have now the satisfaction and
pleasure of entering their garden and
plucking fresh r~oasting-ears, toma-

to the effect that we would have an
unusually cold winter, and the ground
for this prediction was that the her-
Inets were building their nests on
