| A LIVE FIRM.--It is not necessary
for us to call the attention Of our read
ers to the mammoth advertisement Of
Coon, Russell 4 Co., In this issue, for
it Is magnificentIy conspicuous.
In the Summer of 1873, Emhhett
Coon, the head of the firm, came to
Baldwin and started n dry goods and
grocery store in the modest little room
OH the corner they now occupy. His
energy and devotion to business caused
his trade to develop and increase rapid
u; and i'm the Summer of 1875, the
two Misses Coon were admitted to
partnership, under the firm name Of
Emmett Coon & Co.
Mr.. Coon had a practical knowledge
of his business, with good judgment
and ready knowledge of the peoples
wants. His whole time was employed
In his trade; no "side issues" attract
ing him. He was ably seconded in the
details by his sisters. AS a result, n
large and successful trade was built up;
their store room was enlarged; their
facilities and capital for doing business
grew rapidly. F.
During the past season, the already
large store was doubled in capacity,
and Mr.. Fred. Russell, formerly Of
Crown Point, Ind, added his capital
and name to the Arm. At the present
time they have one of the handsomest
stocks in Northern Michigan. Custom
ers visiting their store are sure of
courteous treatment and prompt ut
tention to their wants. The firm
knows the value Of printers ink, and
use 1t literally. AS result of all these,
they are selling piles of goods, and the
people Of this locality nre to be con-
graduated on having such an enter
prising firm in their midst.

Eating a Mad Dog.
ILondon Telegraph. 1

Never was the ancient adage "there
is no accounting for tastes" more
q quaintly illustrated than by surprising
story which reaches us from Neustadt,
in Bohemia. One Peschka, an innkeeper
of that town, was bitten some weeks ago
by his own house dog. Unwilling to
slay the animal on bare suspicion Of its
sanity, he consigned it to the town
grave-digger, enjoining that functionary
to take care Of it until further orders
respecting its. ultimate fate. should be
impaired to him. A few days later,
however, Peschka was attacked by hy-
drophobia, of which horrible malady be
died inexcruciating; agony. The sanitary
authoritieso of Neustadt forthwith applied
to the grave-digger for the mad dog
committed to his custody, intending to
have him destroyed. Their astonish-
ment may be more readily conceived
than described when the sexton calmly
observed, "The mad dog? have eaten
himp "You have eaten the mad dog ?"
incredulously exclaimed horror
stricken sanitary official. Better that
than he should eat mew reioined the
philosophical grave-digger. 1t would
appear not only that this man of strange
appetites had swallowed and digested
the rabid animal, but that it had agreed
with him; for, as the story runs, he is
still in the enjoyment of robust health,
and pursues his professional avocations
with unabated vigor.

All visitors feel that in some places
there is an atmosphere that ia congenial
and pleasant, and conducive to freedom
and enjoyment, while in others-though
the welcome be just rs warm and the
friends no less kind and dear-they are
never unconscious that they are visi-
tors. The house is in an abnormal con-
dition of spick-and-span orderliness to
start with; and one feels that in no
home are the papers and books always
picked up, the work putt out of sight,
and everything kept with its best foot
forward. In most sensible, not to say
cultivated, families the essential vul-
garity of loading down the tables with
an unusual and unnecessary variety of
present, is no longer seen; but in too
many the entire matter of the family
eating is made to turn upon the guests
appetite or readiness. How entirely
cat home" one feels {" this is writ IRON
ical," as A. Ward used to say) to come
down to breakfast a quarter of an hour
late and find pater fan'ilias reading the
advertisements in his crumpled morn
ing paper, with one eye wandering to
the clock; the housewife with the
shadow of a frown upon her politely
unpuckered brow, and the children
palpably cross from waiting! The
guest shouldn't be late, of course, but
he takes that liberty when at home, and
would feel much better to find the fam
lily at the table than waiting for him.
The consciousness of throwing every
thing out of gear in the family mschin-
cry makes one realize very uncomfort
ably that he is not &C at home.pl

A Horse Story.

A farmer wanted team horse, pro-
cured one on trial, the animal being
represented as all right. He drove him
to the village, when gentleman whom
he knew by sight, but to whom he had
never spoken, said, :" if you own that
horse / advise you to get rid of him as
speedily as possible, or he will do you
mischief" The farmer loaded up his
team and started for home, the horse
showing an ugly temper as he crossed
the railroad track, but he got on fairly
with him, stopped and tied him up for a
time when not far from home; upon re-
starting the horse did his best to run
but was controlled. Upon nearing a
brook he all at once stopped, looked all
round, and then started again; Just as
he had fairly got upon the bridge, like a
fash he swung to the left, backed vici-
ously and dumped wagon, load and far
mer into the stream, the horses hind
quarters and his back also being covered
with water. Our informant says that if
an animal ever measured with his eyes
where to put a load to do himsilf the
most good" that horse did. Suffice to
say he played no further tricks upon our
friend. t
