Werley Notes.

Seeing that other villages are filing
spaces in the HEaALD, thought werley

few items.
Mira. Elliot il doing her best TO keep
pace with the times. She 10 doing . lively
business in the straw and palm>leaf hat and
tan trade, as the weather, until within the
past week, has been hot. She also has other
things, too numerous to mention, which ahe
Ia selling at prices 10 suit the times. The
young and obliging clerk Of this establish
msnt will be most happy to wait on all
customers who may happen TO fall in by the
wayside.
Mr.. Tenant, the man who deals in drinks,
candies and cigars, keeps his billiard hall
open from time to time to sui. customers.
MIR. Gould, the young wagon maker and
carpenter, is putting up some wagons of his
own make, which he proposes to sell as low
as the lowest. Messrs. LOOMS & Gould have
just completed their buzz saw, and are busy
ripping up beehive material They will soon

seR-acting beehives, warranted 10 produce

som inside.
Mr.. Fitch, the wide-awake lumber man
and station agent, is doing lively business
in the lumber trade.
The Werley boys have match game of
quoits every Saturday afternoon. The win
ners generally enjoy smoke of nickle cigars
provided they can get them.
The town has recently been provided
with FIRE bell, which answers for all pur~
poses, such as fire. riots, etc.
Last Sunday evening two of the town
boys got into little fracas, in which the
tallest fellow plunged the shortest fellow
into tub of water. The game was inter-
rupted by the marshal making his appearance
and commanding peace.
The health of this place Is generally
good, only one death having occurred since
the town started.
The crops look well. Farmers are busy
cultivating corn. Wheat and oats look we'll
few hail storms have passed through here
without doing any damage. There is good
prospect for fruit if frost only keeps off.
%. NJ. LOOMS has built neat and tasty
addition to the back of his store building,
which will be used as a dwelling, and gives
more room for his increasing business.
&c. A. Lance has also put up q comfor.a.
BILE dwelling house on his lot above the
blacksmith shop. Burt complains of plenty
of work, chiefly in the corn-plow line, at
present.
Hayes has made an importans move
toward heaven. 1t is his house roof tho.
and it improves its appearance considerably.
-Ye lovers of the piseatorial art are dis,
appointed this season. as the owners of land
on Green river for the greater part of its
length have forbidden all fishing on their
grounds As Green RIVER is one of the
finest trout streams in the county this Is
quite privation for some.

Death Of Rev'd Cyprian T.. Devine,
or Porosi.

Father Devine is dead and the large and
usually contented congregation of St. Thom-
a. church of this village is saddened as it
never was before. Sudden and unexpected,
indeed, is this loss Of their leader, and It's
one that not emily causes many tear bedims
med eyes, but also leaves a vacancy which
can not be soon reflled. Too true it is. that
" lite is like sunbeam that casts its bright
ness bat for a second and then is gone. y
Who thought but few Sabbaths ago, that
Father Deyine, then seemingly SO healthful
and happy. would so soon be lowered 10 the
cold and silent grave? 1t can scarcely be
realized that he is no more, and many. mana,
are the aching hearts which were never sad
der than now. The Rev. was first taken i'll
on Sunday the Esd of May-directly after
services at church-and what was thought to
be without the least of danger, proved to be
a severe attack OF malariaI Typhoid Fever,
and twas this that after few days. dealt
the fatal blow. Wednesday last, his remains
were inferred in the new Catholic cemetery
under the auspices of his church. The cere .
mony was performed by the Revs. Gmeiner
and Bruhin and the Rev. from Menomoney,
and was attended by the largest concourse
OF people assembled in this vicinity for many
years. Deceased was native of Ireland
lie was born in 1912, finished his Ecclesiasti-
cal course OF studies in that country, then
came to America and was ordained priest at
Wheeling, w. Va, in 1871, where he had a
large mission TO attend. Soon after, his
health began to fail He then came to Mill
waukee, where he was appointed assistant at
al a4ta - I1
promoted to the church at Edgerton in Rock
county of this State. A little over two
years ago the Bishop gave him charge Of st.
Thomas church at this place. He came here
total stranger, but now he has left us, and
a large community Of friends mourn his loss.
Few men are so well fitted for the position
he occupied as was he. BY his kind and
agreeable manners, he soon won the conf.
dence and good will of all. He was indeed a
good man kind and charitable, courteous
and honorable Among the young folks he
was quite favorite and for them be always
had smile and good word. By The elder.
ly, he could not have been more esteemed.
His worldly career was fraught with many
hardships, and at no time did he find 80
much contentment, comfort and happiness as
during his short stay here. He seemed here
to enjoy whatever he desired, and was indeed
contented; but now his earthly mission is
ended. lie is gone-gone hence, from whore
no traveller raturneth.
Will the loved ones at his home far, far
away over the dark and surging waters once
think that
BY foreign hands his dying eyes are closed,
BY foreign hands his decent limbs composed
BY foreign hands his humble grave adorned,
BY strangers honored and by Strangers mourned ~
Such is life. Man is born to live, die and
decay, and is no sooner gone than another
steps into his footprints, and the world rolls
on as before. Cow.
