BALL August 1st. is

BALL, August 1st. 1881.
Editor Ardldnche: Please except a
few remarks from this part of the
county. presume you think we are
all dead, as il is long time since you
heard from us, but we are not.
Crops are looking well in our vicini-
ty considering the dry weather. We
need rain just now very bad. Our
Prosecuting Attorney was over here to
see us on an assault and battery case,
as some of our neighbors got into a
"cat-hauling" scrape. Asyour cores
pondent was one of the jury, and heard
all of the evidence, we could not call
it anything but ''cat-hauling;" there
fore, the jury brought in a verdict of
not guilty. We hope the next time
our good neighbors will be more manly
and not go to cat-hauling over little
things.
We have got two schools in running
order this Summer: districts No. and
Q. No. 2 is taught by Miss Lettie
Stone. and we are well pleased with
her management. She has eight pu-
pills whom she Is learning very fast.
We would recommend Miss Stone for
any school in these parts. More anon.

COUNTY TREAsURRR's OYFIcH,

Mr.. Hiram Brown, of this village,
met with serious accident Monday,
while boarding the train at Roscom-
mon for this place. Itseems the train
was backing up to get BY n freight
while Mr.. Brown was attempting to
get on with his arms full of parcels
and bundles, and he slipped in some
manner, and fell between number of
large trunks and the moving train, re-
ceiving n severe scalp wound and
cut i'm the back. Medical aid was
promptly called and the unfortunate
mans wounds dressed, and though OF
a very serious character, will ultimate
ly recover.
How exquisitly delightful it must
be, these deliciously cool and charming
evenings, for a certain young lady to
stroll meath the majestic pines, and
under heavens canopy, with a con-
genial soul of the masculine gender
and lisp passionate words of undying
friendship, while luna's soft, pale light
is streaming down her effulgent rays
in sufficient power 10 observe the come
and-go flush that mantles the cheek at
each tender utterance. We rather
opine her lov-yer has come for to see
her! chi!
Mr.. g. w. Ballard, general agent
of the American Sewing Machine Co,
was in town this week, and having a
few hours to spare, he seemed quite
anxious TO devote the time to grayling
fishing, but We editor wishing to spare
him the humiliation of an unsuccessful
piscatorial expedition, informed him
that grayling had become so rare in
this vicinity that they were supposed
to be worth $3.50 pound. But he
seemed TO think an editor couldn't tell
the truth, and after assuring us that
he never knew one TO, he departed for
the Au Sable, and after securing a
boat, was gently foated down the
stream to where the speckled beauties
were supposed to stay. Two hours of
