The honey festival in Association
Hall on Wednesday evening of last
week, under the auspices of the M. +.
Society, was novel and pleasing en-
tertainment. 1t was highly successful
both socially and financially. The
ladies of the society did not forget the
printer and they have our thanks for
a generous supply of honey which
greeted us on our arrival at our sane

We had the pleasure last week of
witnessing the workings of Henshaw's
Patent Stump Fuller, and we must
confess that it is all, and more than
has been claimed for it. We saw a
hemlock stump, the roots of whi.h lay
stretched out some 10 to 10 feet lifted
bodily from the ground in 105 seconds,
while another one of smaller dimen-
sions was raised in an incredible short
space of time. We intend shortly to
give our readers a full account of this
stump puller with accompanying il
Illustrations, and in the meantime in
vite those who have land to clear to
go to the Forest House" where the
genial proprietor will be glad to show
and explain everything in connection
with this great labor saving invention.
Our little lake has at last been stocked
with black bass, 500 good sized ones
having been put into it. Now let us
all take hold and see that they are
protected. Some organization ought
to be effected to secure them from be-
ing captured by anyone who SO little
regards the public interest as to destroy
the germs of a great interest for a
moments qualification and for the
possession of that which is of no import
ance to him. There is no reason why
with all our facilities our lakes and
rivers should not be stocked with fish
to such an extent as to attract strang-
ers. Ample opportunities could be

go elsewhere without costing our
people cent, simply by the exercise OF
care and little watchfulness to Sc
that the fish in our waters are not
wantonly destroyed. Let our people
see to it that this interest be protected
by some efficient organization.
