on Fifth Avenue. New York city. An
other inducement for farmers to enter
the dairy business. No wonder that our
people are going mad in purchasing COWS
of all grades and sizes.

on Thursday.
We sec by publication issued by the
Ann Arbor, Michigan University, that p.
Eugene Nagle is instructor in one of the
departments of that institution. This
must be the Patrick E. Nagle that was
so well and favorably known here some
years ago. We wish him all sorts of sue

The cares and turmoils of being a
"church deacon weigh very heavily up
on Barley Morris. Anxiety and care for
The welfare of his charge are telling so
heavily upon Elm that he will soon have

The creeks and rivers OF all ages and
previous condition of servitude are filled

Tom Taugher lately raised hog that
weighed 400 pounds at nine months of

The lecture of Father OMalley was
delivered on Wednesday evening at st.
Isidors church. 1t was brilliant and
eloquent effort, but the audience was
rather slim, most of the very orthodox
members of the community absenting
themselves on account of the expense Of
% cents which was charged as entrance
fee. Some people are very religious
when it costs them nothing.

that spring is approaching. Poor spring,
it is hardly able to come to the scratch
after lying so long in the lap of winter.
And yet some farmers have had the har-
dihood to attempt to SOW wheat in the
absence OF the mild, ethereal season. But
in nearly every instance they have been
punished for their impudence as they
have had to gather "bees" to haul their
horses out of the plowed land. Better
wait until the spring opens. gentlemen,
even if you have to hold back until the
Fourth of July. Oh dear! we wish we
had an Office of some kind where we
could live on the public and then we
wouldn't care ? cass whether spring came
or not. Is any body holding such po-
sition willing to either die or resign2 We
pause for reply.
