the aggregate number sent out was 246,.
063,060. The latter number is an in

Notwithstanding the recent heavy
rains in this section crops of all kinds are
doing well and promise a fine
yield; crops on the low lands, however,
have been set back some, but with con-
tinuance of the present dry weather will
soon be brought out all right. Some
marshes and meadows are under water, |
but no great damage or shortage to the
hay crop is anticipated unless we are Wis
tied with an usually large rainfall be-
tween now and haying time.
- At the annual convention of the
Catholic Total Abstinence Union of Wis
consin held at Portage last week, Rev. P.
2. Cooney, of this city, and Rev. George
L. Willard, of Milwaukee, were appoint
ed delegates to the next convention of
the G. T. A. Union of America to be

For want of an audience Miss
Emile Gavin, of Chicago, did not
read at Turner Hall last Wednesday,
evening, as she had advertised to do. We
had within a few weeks been overrun
with amusements of different kinds, and
the somewhat recent visit to our city she
had made, initiated against her receiving
a house worthy of her talents as an elo-
cutionist. Owing to this failure we by
no means despair of Miss Gavin yet re-
ceiving recognition in WATERFOWL.
