Notes From Montfort.


No one complains of rush of business,
Just now, but we suppose this is just like other
places at this time Of year. Farmers Of course
have the most to do, and the untavorable
weather of the last two weeks is arranging it
so "twill all come TO wunst."
But few farmers in this vicinity are for
tunate enough to have promise of winter
wheat sufficient TO bread them. Almost all
of last falls sowing is being seeded with oats,
flax, &c. or plowed up for corn.
The second windmill, which has done eff
ficient service for the railroad company
yielded completely to the big blow Of week
ago Sunday evening, |: has not yet been re-
built
We hear that new saloon is % be built
directly, which is to face Main street in Old
town. The place can boast of but one at
present.
Mr.. George Potts has a nice little festau~
rant up on the hill, where he serves up lunch
or warm meals In good, comfortable style and
at very reasonable rates.
Farmers do not have TO leave work and
drive over fifteen or twenty miles to purchase
a pound Of salt or any article Of farm ma
chinery, as the assortment of the latter kept
by Thompson Bros. is very complete, wagons,
plows, corn-planters, seeders, drills, cultiya-
tors, and in fact almost everything except q
velocipede always on hand. No doubt it
would soon be furnished II ordered.
The "boomn in railroad news of late has
gradually subsidized. Speculation, conjecture
and excitement have al passed by, and the
principal points in the case are something
| like the following The Chicago Il Northwes-
tern has purchased the marrow gauge running
from Salena, also the narrow gauge road from
woodman TO Livingston. The road between
Livingston ard this place is being levelsd UP
and put in good order This work will also
! be finished up out TO FenniDore. Ties and
| other necessary materials used in the work Of
construction, are taken through by the ears ev-
cry day. After the track is surfaced up prop.
| erly, the work OF connecting the roads be.
tween Livingston and MeCormiek's will be
rapidly done, as according 30 agreement they
must connect by the 2o.h of Nay. All the
I officers and men in employ of Aontfori diyl-
sion are retained, and no doubt will be for
some time.
School opened for summer term April
leth, with a very full attendance. w. B.
Phillips is retained as principal, and Mis-:
Frances Palmer has been employed a. assis-
tani. Miss Minnie Thomas, teacher Of pri-
mary department through winter term, and
Miss Ella Matthews. who taught at Martin,
vile, are attending the Normal at Platsevills

Mt. Hope, May 8. 1850.
Mt. Hope il not very newsy just now.
Farmers are very busy seeding and preparing
land to plant corn at present.
MIR. r. G. Humphrey, one of our village
merchants, has turned farmer this spring,
while his daughter Mamie runs the store, Fl
nancial success win surely crown their Ia
bors if no prev entive Providence intervenes.
Mr.. |. B. Fox has got his store well
stocked up with dry goods aud groceries, no.
tions, &C., equal in every respect to stores Of
more pretensious dimensions.
Mr.. NJ. D. Taylor, assisted by Jack Rich
ards and Moses Dunn, is making plows by the
wholesale, while W. P. Lane Son run the
woodwork shop, making anything and every
thing that can be made out Of wood
MI j. G. Snider has got his creamery
building nearly finished. 1 presume all the
arrangements for carrying on successful
business in making gilt edged butter are
nearly perfected.
Mr.. Joseph LOOMS, mine host Of the
Hotel De Ville is at his post, always ready to
attend to the wants of the travelling public
in hospitable manner.
Mr.. A. A. Adams, our boot and shoe
maker can be found at his shop, not being
away from morning till night, making and
repairing boots and shoes, having all the work
he can do.
-Mesrrs. Marrow s. Dodds, stone masons,
are busy at work laying the cellar wall for
Warren Alexander's barn. From thence they
go to Bloomington, where a large job is
waiting them.
Mr.. Alexander Cairns has rented the
basement of the store building known as the
Nathan block intending to stock it with goods
sometime in the near future. Mt. Hope can
then boast of four stores; all we would need
to make ii live town would be the North
Western Narrow Gauge Railroad.

Mayday-Ride in Skiff-Ramble
Among thu Rocks and Flowers.

According to previously arranged plan,
two Lancaster boys, who are teaching in
the western part Of the county, started early
Saturday morning TO the Mississippi for
Mayday ramble.
Reaching the river at Glen Hayen,we took
the steam ferry for Guttenburg. This was
once a lively place, but there is sort of

while the beer traffic is booming. The ap-
