EDITOR TELEGRAPH:
AS the balmy days Of May come and
go we have a constant shifting of
scenery, and all the time for the bet
ter. The trees, which were so recently
white with blossoms, are now many
of them full of small fruit, more es-
pecially the apple trees. Plenty of
apples is good thing, but an abu91-
dance of hard cider is, is-well-it is
miserable stuff. The raspberry bushes
were much injured last winter, and a
great many fruit trees seem to be dy-
ing. So, Mr.. Tree Peddler, there is
"joy for thee"
The corn is mostly planted, and now
we want rain, for although there has
been heavy fall of rain this month
the surface of the ground is dry and
very hard.
There has been no road work done
yet, but as the Office of pathmaster is
likely to become a paying one we ex-
.pect to see this matter properly at
tended to.
The cheese factory of L. A. Stevens
commenced operations the 18th inst,
with good quantity of milk for com
mencement.
There seems to be nearly every vo-
cation represented in this busy place,
except it be the professional, and we
are favored with calls occasionally
from gentlemen of that class. The
advent Of two persons last week who
could administer to the wants of the
sick, lay bare the future to the trusting
ones, and also provide the body with
raiment, all for a fair compensation,
is an event which will be remembered
by few.
The Brass Band were out Saturday
night, and made some excellent music.
They do we'll what they do.
Jesse Hooker, an early settler in this
town, and reformer of some note,
has been spending few days in Salem.
The artist has taken some views as
we'll as portraits, which we shall be
glad to have him show, as we are a
little proud of some Of our new build
ings.
The Congregational church is still
without a pastor. They are in hopes
to have one ere long.
There are several in this vicinity
quite sick or in very precarious CON
dition. Mr.. II. Bundy gains strength
IsloWly. M.
Corn planting, bysthe expiration Of
another week, will for this season, be
reckoned among the things that were.
There seems to be considerable com
plant around the country that a little
worm is doing much damage to or
chards.
Mr.. l.. A. Stevens commenced MAX
| ing cheese Monday.
Mr.. Joseph Mellor an old and respect
ed citizen was found dead on
Saturday morning, May 18th. Though
the deceased had been in failing health
for some time, the event was sudden
and unexpected, and filled the house
with sadness and mourning, Mr.. Mel
lor was an active and devoted member
of the Methodist church, and died ex-
ultant in the faith. He leaves a beau
tiful record Of a life well spent, and
all who knew him will ever cherish
his memory. The funeral services
took place in the II. E. church at Sa-
lem Station on Sunday afternoon fol-
lowing
Mr. Jesse Hooker, of Lacrosse, is
visiting host of friends in town.
Mr. L. Hatch, Of English Prairie,
called on Mr. John Cogswell on Mon
day.
A picture gallery on four wheels,
belonging to MI. English, of Rich
mond, has been stationed at Salem Sta
ton for more than week. Mr.. En-
glish is working up quite a business in
his line, as his pictures give good sat
isfaction and would do him credit as an
artist, even if there were not such an
aggregate Of beauty in town for sub
iects
