so in some retired locality, and not in
the busiest part of our public streets.

If our Base Ball clubs neglect to re-
move their furniture" from the street
at the close of their games, should not
our town authorities take the matter
in hand? Considerable dissatisfaction
was expressed at the leaving of large
table nsed at the rear of the catcher,
in the center of the fiat last Monday.
No one objects to the use of the fiat to
play ball on, but after games are fin
shed, it is wrong to allow distractions
to remain there.

Last Monday a party of IS of our
citizens celebrated by IL trip to the top
If Bluff Mountain. They report a
very pleasant trip, a fine day, and
ome of the party declared the view
rom the summit to be one of the pref
lest they had ever seen, and well
worth the labor and trouble of making
he ascent. One of the party killed a
striped snake upon the very summit of
he mountain, where grows nothing
out granite rocks and cherry bushes.
The query rose whether the snake was
Up there for q view? or was he q set
Ter of that region and if a settler,
what does he subsist on?
We have used and seen in operation
Josh Henshaw's Patent Stump Extract
u and Elevator, and in our Judgment it
S an application of power superior to
my other known for eXtractingstumps
Ind lifting stones and other heavy ar
5icles. While it is carried from place
20 place with ease, and is readily and
quickly adjusted, the most unyielding
stump is taken out with it. One ad-
this has over anything else of
jhe kind we have seen, is that it is so
arranged that the power is applied by
several distinct motions of the lever,
easily accomplished, and what's acquir-
ID by each movement is saved; besides
t is operated with an almost incredibly
mail amount of manual labor.
