Sullivan.
Mining continues without material
change. The sullivan and "wankeag"
are both taking out very fine looking ore,
which. by reports, gives very satisfactory
assays.
The Milton is continuing its cross cuts
from both shafts in search OF veins, having
made in all 205 feet. The vein has not a.
vet been found. but the indications Of its
near approach are good.
A good snow storm seems to be in de-
mand now to make sleighing. Everyone
expected Vennor's big snow storm last week
and having prepared for il are rather disap-
pointed that it did not come. Hereafter
think it will b. just as well to 60 back TO

rather than depend upon any weather

The season has been unusually prolific
in ''fa, hogs In Dist, No. 6, in this town,
there has been slaughtered s136 lbs. of
pork. Fourteen hogs killed by twelve farm
ers in one neighborhood. dressed cole lbs.
giving an average OF 40 lbs. to each hog
II any neighborhood can beat this We should
like to hear from them. DO your best on
your big hog and we will ''see YOU and go
80 lbs. better" on one yet to he slaughtered.
Christmas trees and presents have en-
crossed the public attention the past week.
Everyone seems to have been remembered
and made happy by the reception Of some
present. The most valuable and at the same
time the mos; appropriate present We have
heard of. was deed Of a farm of thirty acres,
with dwelling house and GU, buildings all
complete, hung on a Christmas tree by a
father for his married daughter. How much
better il would be for parents TO dispose OF
their surplus property in this way. rather
than keep the whole till their decease. and
then make their heirs unhappy for life by
their disagreement in relation to its division.
How would it do. for fathers that are able.
to have j, understood that each of his
daughters should have a deed Of farm
hung on the first Christmas tree after her
marriage What a demand i, would create
for. such daughters There would be no
"old maids" in families where this vas un..
derstood. ZERO.

CHICAGO. July 81. Telegraphic reports
from an sections of Wisconsin, iowa, Min
nesota and Dakota are published. In Wis
consin wheat is generally below last years In
quality and quantity, 100000 bushels
being one of the estimates Of the to-
tai crop. In Iowa the yield will be
20 per cent. higher and the acreage about
the same. From Minnesota reports Of
great crop come in from all sections, espec-
tally from the North. The total acreage Of
the State in wheat is put at J, o00, 900 acres.
The grand total yield of the State is put at
A, coo, 900 bushels, and indications are that
it will be principally No. .. In Dakota an
immense crop will be harvested; average
yield per acre not less than 20 bushels, or
fully 100 per cent. greater than last year;
acreage larger by so per cent. The Michi-
gan reports show that the continuous rains
have inflicted less injury than was feared.
The wheat is being harvested in good order.
The total crop, it is believed, will be con-
siderably larger than -, which was the
largest cropever harvested product estimated
AT $4,000, 900 bushels. Reports AS TO oats
and hay are excellent, as well as all spring
crops.
