THE Presbyterian church of this city
has very enviable reputation for the
excellence of its choir which includes a
number of the finest singers in the city.
Miss Josie Young recently became a
member of this choir and owing to the
absence of Mrs. Ryder, was obliged to
take the very difficult part usually taken
by Mrs. Ryder. Miss Young acquitted
herself so creditably as to win the en-
comiums of all who heard her. It is no
easy matter for any other person to win
praise from a congregation accustomed
to hear Mrs. Ryder sing. The soprano
and solo by Miss Young and Mrs. Clara
Burnet, Sabbath evening last, was SO fine
that its repetition at an early day is re-
quested by an attendant.

ELOPEAENI, OR WHAT?

Quite sensation has been caused in
Cato by the singular departure of an old
resident and prominent citizen of that
town, and dame Rumor is not yet salts
fed whether she shall discuss an elope-
ment or separation through domestic
| difficulties. She incliues to the former,
however, owing to its more sensational
character and because the lovers of Cos
sip are more disposed to giveit credence.
Some time ago the gentleman in question
left his home in company with widow
of his own age, about so, under circum-
stances which aroused suspicious. They
| were followed to Manitowoc by friends
who explained to the old gentleman the
disgrace which would attach to the fam
lily on account of the act he was meditat
ing, and finally persuaded him to return
to bis home though not penitent for the
contemplated elopement, if such it was.
Those proceedings were bar to domes-
tic harmony and coniugal affection, and
the old gentleman again pulled up stakes
and sought elsewhere that happiness
which had fled his home. His where
abouts was uncertain but Rumor soon
located him in company with her who
had won his old love. A complaint for
divorce was lately served upon his
wife and thus ends the first act of this
drama, We withhold the names of the
actors at present, though the matter is no
secret.

MAJOR ROBERTS proposes to extend
both harbor piers this season at least 100
feet each. He also proposes to do some
dredging where necessary. 1t seems that
the entire appropriations for some har-
bors on the west coast will be expended
IN deepening the channels. 1t is much
to be regretted that this disposition is
not to be made of the $4,000 given to
our harbor The Two Rivers harbor
piers will be extended at least 80 feet.

We would advise farmers to put up

We would advise farmers to put up
their butter in jars or tubs, as hereafter,
during warm weather, roll butter cannot
be shipped. Coarse salt. such as the
common fine barrel salt, should never be
used, but take instead only the fine dairy
salt, as the use by many of the former, is
one Of the reasons why the average but
ter made in this county does not sell at
near the price Of that made elsewhere.

Now that our space admits, we have
been seriously considering the advisable
ty of devoting column or more to local
agricultural news. OF course we would
be forced to depend solely on our farmer
! friends throughout the county for mate
rial for the column, bat we have no hest
! tation in expressing the belief that such
column would prove interesting and
| beneficial to the farmers of the county.
Experiences may be compared with mu-
! tual profit and improvements might thus
become more general. The farmer finds
but little place ia the columns of our
local paper, simply because he shuns
| publicity. Why can not a newspaper be
made the medium for exchange of opin-
ion for farmers as well as for people of
other vocations? If farmer las an i'm
proved mode of cultivation, let his fell
low farmers of the county be made ac-
| quainted with it. If one has a superior
kind of stock let the fact be known. If
certain kind of farm produce prove
more renumerative than another, farmers
generally are interested in knowing it.
Men who earn livelihood or secure a
competence by manual labor, seem to
think that in their calling muscle is to be
preferred to brain. This is a very erro-
neous impression and should be combat
ed until it is entirely removed There
is no employment in the scale of honest
industry that is not dignitied by the ex-
ercise of mind. There is no pursuit that
requires more brain industry than farm
ing. There is no occupation more en-
nobling, more conducive to bodily and
mental health than that of tiller of the
soil when he manages his farm iudicious-
y. 1t is a mistaken idea that brain work
is inconsistent with farm labor. The
farmers mind must ha active in the
cultivation Of his farm as is tie lawyers
III the preparation of his brief. lie
profits by the experience of his fellow
farmer and is benefited by enlarged in
tercourse with those engaged in the same
employment. An agricultural column
would bring the farmers of the county in
close communion. We suggest the mat
ter to the intelligent farmers of the
county for their consideration and hope
that soon q column will be found in the
PILoT devoted solely to their interests.
