Eagle Creek Etehtnr..


We had the pleasure of spending las
Sunday on Eagle creek, one of the mos
productive and picturesque sections o.
Lyon county. The gently undulatins
and verdant prairies are dotted over
with countless herds of cattle, which
form the principal source of wealth in
that section, and the course of the pretty
little stream which winds its way
through the country, is defined by the
trees which grow along its banks, and
add to the beauty of the landscape.
The fruit farm of Simon Butcher, at
which We made our headquarters, is de
lightfully located, not far from the old
site of Elmendaro, and is one of the
most desirable places on the creek. He
has in bearing three thousand apple
trees, twenty or thirty thousand peach
trees, and plum, cherry, and pear trees
in like proportion. There are all load
ed with well formed fruit, and if moth
ing intervenes he will reap rich har-
vest during the coming season.
Among the Improvements in the
neighbOrhood, is very neat and CON-
modious residence recently erected by ].
p. Ross, on his fine farm on the south
bank of Eagle creek.
The extensive stock farm of w. ].
Brewer is one of the best appointed in
the state, and the excellent buildings at
test the thrift and good management of
the proprietor.
at the school house on Hoosier creek
iourlshing Sunday school has been
organized under the auspices of DR..
Breiner and others, which is well attend
ed and promises to accomplish great
measure of good. Superintendent ]. p.
Ray and secretary Frank Butcher are
among the officers we recall.
Upon the whole, matters on Eagle
creek are looking up, and the settlement
is on the boom with the remainder of
our excellent country

We regret to learn of the continued

From the Sturgis, Mich, Weekly :
Mr.. John Brast, living in Sherman town

feet had been so terribly frost bitten that
he could hardly stand the pains caused
thereby. He happened to think of St.
Jacobs Oil-which he always keeps
handy-rubbed his feet twice with the
remedy, and the pain disappeared entire

an unexcelled remedy for great many
