tanning over $4,000 in notes, slipped
from his inside coat pocket and deposited
its contents IN promiscuous manner in

banking hours, Mr.. Stimson's notes were
not receipted for, so, no doubt. these notes
left in this bank will never be protested,
and probably many OF them never paid.
About $500 worth of the notes were found,

And now we get our steak of E. NJ.

Departed this life, Sunday night, 18th

Oldest settlers.
The young folks passed last Wednes

dence of Mrs Jas. Carson.
Deacon Stewart, of Racine, and faith
er Of A. J. Stewart, contemplates mlgrat-

Mrs. W. Il. Hughart is sorely attllct-
ed with Jobs comforters, and at this
writing, has one looming up on her wrist
like small pyramid.
MIR. G. &. Cole has returned from
Walcott, Dakota, and seemingly appears
to appreciate home surroundings. Grand
Meadewites are not sorry.
MIR. g. Auten is in town, but does not
expect to make very long stay, as he has
taken claim in Dakota, and expects to
return at the opening of spring.
MIR. A. J. Stewart has presented his
daughter, Miss Della, with a very nice
organ. Della has been very sick during
the past week, but is slowly convalesclng.
MIR. Jas. Ridlington's child, which
had diphtheria when they returned from
Iowa, we learn has died, and two others
are sick with the same disease. 1t is to
be hoped that Grand Meadow may escape
this dreadful scourge.
Maj. Bailey, Of Jackson, Mimi, who
has been visiting friends in and near
Hamilton, his former place of residence,
was IN town Saturday intending to take
the train for home, but was obliged to
defer it as the trains were again snow.

not very we'll acquainted with Elmer, but
we know James we'll. He is an honest,
industrious and intelligent youth, free
from all bad habits, and we hope no acct

among strangers.
The sociable came off with great
eclot at Masonic Hall, the evening of the
End inst. Rev. VIM. Copp, being mem.
Der of that fraternity, made few able
and appropriate remarks, which served
to make this enjoyable scene more inter-
esting, as the Elder is SO highly esteemed
and his efforts appreciated. After re.
freshments were served, Hon. Jas. Good
sell and lady furnished music, and those
who loved dancing remained two or
three hours and stripped the light fan

Died, Feb. s, 1881, in Canada, at the
residence of his daughter, Mr.. Hunt, faith
er Of Alva and Abner Hunt, and grand
father of Mr.. George Glow. Mr.. HINT
had visited his sons almost yearly during
their residence in this town until last year.
He wished to come last fall, but was too
feeble to travel alone One of his sons
intended to go after him in the spring,
but now he is gone. He was found dead
in his bed-he had passed over the river
without a struggle.
With songs let us follow his flight,
And mount with his spirit above,
Escaped to the mansion of light
And lodged in the eden of love.

PURE JAPAN TEAS.
SOME FACTS WORTH CONSIDERING.


tits now twenty years since Japan tea was
introduced into this country. Soon after it's
Introduction, it became popular on account
of its purity,-being widely advertised, and
commented upon by the press as such.
screen tea," from China) which was previ-
ously the favorite tea, but known to be arti-
fcially colored, was thereby largely superse-
ded by the then, uncolored Japan. A few
years after it's Introduction, however, in order
to improve it's appearance, and impress Tor
deceive) the dealer and consumer, coloring
was resorted to,-moderately at first, but
gradually increased TILL for several years
past, the once pure Japan tea has become
the most excessively colored of any in use.
'Pan-fred' Japan tea, when cured and pre-
pared naturally, has brownish color, show
ing also some yellowish leaves. When it is
prepared in the present usual way, the leaves
have more uniform color, but in many cases,
and especially with the later pickings, the tea
is thickly coated, or ''painted" with variety
of unwholesome ooloring substances.
The matter used for color is, mainly, mix
ture of Prussian blue, "Dutch pink" and
China clay, and the purpose is to please the
eye, thereby increasing the dealers and con-
sumer's estimate of tlneness and value.
Prussian blue is known poison, and the
others are certainly not wholesome.
Test: pour boiling hot water to a small
quantity of tea in a cup; let it steep and
stand till cool; if colored, a green scum will
rise to the surface, and adhere to the side of
the cup; green sediment will also be left
in the bottom of the cup after pouring the
liquor and leaves out. An uncolored tea will
make no such deposits.
This par:nred u1c0lored Japanltea is entirely
different from the 80 called baslaet:tred tea;
which, although uncolored, is larger, coar-
ser leaf, dark color, similar to Oolong or
"Black Tea," and has a smoky and somewhat
raw, or grassy aavor.-the result of drying
over slow fire, in perforated pan or basket.
Basket-hred teas have notproved satisfactory
to many consumers who desire pure uncolor-
ed teas.
