BANGOR LOCALS.

The disagreement between two persons abont
an unsettled account resulting in law suit,
was the cause OF the non-appeaance Of the
Bangor items last week.
Officer Stocum, OF Hartford, was in town
yesterday looking for Eugene Kemp, who had
made himself too free with David Quain. in an
alteration where blows and teeth were used
promscuously.
The Furnace Co. dsbursed about 100000

The Midwinter February Scribner has always
been special number, as rich as the choicest
literary matter and the most beautiful wood
engravings can make it. OF last years Md
winter number the London Times said: 1t is
a really magnificent triumph OF American pic
torial art and literary genius. Tne English
publisher OF Scrlbner has telegrsphed for H.
600 copies OF the present number,-an advance
of 5000 upon his orders last year, and the lar
gest edition iof an American magazine ever
sent to England i'm fact il is SAID to be larger
than the monthly sales OF any English maya
zine. The American edition OF Sorbner has
grown during 1880 about 10000 copies.
A delightful feature of the magazine this
year is series OF sparkling novelettes, or con-
densed novels, instead OF a serial story. 4
Far Barbarian, the story OF piquant American
girl in England by Mrs. Frances Hodgson Bur
nett begins in this February number with a
twenty-five page installment, and will run
through three issues. Since the death OF Geo.
Eliot it may be SAID that Mrs. Burnett COM
mands larger English speaking audience than
any other woman. Her novelette, will be fol-
lowed by one by George w. Gable, author OF
The Grandissimes, etc, and afterward Boye-
sens Queen Titania, will be published Peter
the Great, Eugene Schuyler's historical work,
begun in February, 1880, will be finished in
October of this year. Bs means of the re-
Gently published special offers of Scribner the
whole of this great work, with its wealth OF
Illustrations, can be had at very low price, in
connection with a years subscription. All
booksellers can give the terms.
| In the same ratio that Scribner Monthly is
prosperng, st. Nicholas, the famous magazine
for girls and boys, issued by the same pub
lIshers, grows apace. About 100000 copies OF
the Christmas December number were sold,
while the January number has been for some
time out Of print. In February, there is a
full account OF the Obelisk, richly illustrated
from sketches and photographs, showing the
great monolith in all stages OF moving.
The Midwinter Scrbner will be ready Janu
ary Goth, and st. Nicholas five days later.

From the 18th annual report OF the Farmers
Mutual Insurance Company Of Cass County,
(Which does not conAne its business 10 Cass
alone, but includes Van Buren and Berrien
Counties as well,) il appears that the company
is in a very prosperous condition. The whole
number OF members at the beginning OF the
year was 9O3, and there had been added to the
company during that time 324, and SO members
had withdrawn, leaving total membership at
the close OF the year OF 1,201, and by this ad
ditional membership, increasing the amount Of
risk carried by the company from s1,5S9,465 at
the beginning, to s2,O9l,2 ,24l at the close Of the
year. The company had sustained one loss
during the year and had paid for losses which
occurred during this and previous years S3,-
256sS. The whole amount paid the company
from all sources during the year was 81 ,s2569,
and after paying the loss above mentioned and
the necessary running expenses of the year,
there is balance of S5G.s5 on hand. The
average cost for the last Is years, except mem
bership fees, has been s1.2O per snnum on each
81 900.

FromsOur Own Correspondent,
The scarlet fever has broken out in the fam
lily of VIM. Beach. One OF his children was
taken sick one evening while at church, but is
rapidly improving. They have not been any
where away from home, having just recovered
from the whooping cough. VIII says il they
could only get the measles now! Guess he
could get enough to start witb.over to Mr. New
kinks.
Elder Clark, who has been holding meetings
at the church, in connection with Elder Reeves,
has gone home. Elder r. continues the meet
ing sunasssted. There are prospects Of good
being done.
Steve Halls little child, which has been very
sick with lung fever for several days, is said to
be improving. 1t has had a pretty tough time
OF it for one so young.
ouR APOLOGY.
The latter part OF our communication which
was published last week, has been the subject
OF severe criticism by some, and supposed by
them to have been written in spirit Of anger
and for revenge. Perhaps we did come down
too rough, but 1t was all in good humor and
not for thepurpose finjuring anyone or to cause
their ire to rise
With our disposition 1t is impossible for us
to hold grudge, although we may be imposed
upon ever so much. We did feel wire-edged'
for few days, and we are the only party that
has suffered financially; IL we can overlook
forgive and forget, they certainly ought to
throw the mantle OF charity" over our i'm
perfections. Furthermore, after the article
was written and mailed, we thought perhaps
some would misjudge our intentions, and We
sent the publisher q card requesting him not
| to publish il.
Mr.. Hard, who failed to cut our wheat after
having been paid for it, now comes up and
seems to desire TO act the part of a man and
wants to do what is right. We have shaken
hands across the bloody chasm," and lay up
no hardness, in fact, wo hold q grudge agains
no one. Now, after q proper explanation oi
the affair, we hope all who are inclined 10 fee
hurt will accept this, our apology, which We
make chserfully and unasked.

Getting Potatoes Early.

To get potatoes early a dry, well
drained piece of ground should be Sc
lected, rich sandy loan seeming the
most suitable at all times. If an early
crop is desired sprout the tubers, or cut
the potatoes in a light, warm room,
from four to six weeks before planting,
or in hot-bed two weeks before they
are wanted, then lift carefully and plant
6tlt-during this time you will procure
strong, vigorous shoots which as soon as
planted out in the open ground will send
out roots and grow more rapidly than
those treated in the ordinary way. All
planters have doubtless observed in
planting that where set with a long
shoot has teen planted it has been up
above ground a week earlier than the
rest, and this shows the benefit of first
sprouting the sets. There is no use in
planting while the ground is wet, as
lumpy bit of ground will not do for DO
tatoes. Plant as early in the spring as
the ground can be thoroughly worked,
for healthy, vigorous growth, and a
crop free from rot, in hills or rows three
feet apart, and in the rows one foot
apart; covering in light, warm soil about
four inches, and In cold. wet ground
three inches deep. Cultivate to keep
down the weeds, and draw the earth to
the plants. The practice of killing or
earthing up potatoes has been long con-
tinued, and we must allow with satisfac-
tory results, or it would not still be
almost universal. 1t is claimed that it
entices root growth, besides allowing of
more cultivation than otherwise, the
earth holding up the tops. There are
many persons however who have tried
level culture, and who claim the Weld
was just as good as under the earthing-
up system.-Cor. Philadelphia tribune
and Farmer.

Capt Utter informs usfhat on Friday
of last week in the Yosemite Valley q
detached rock of huge dimensions. some
eight feet thick, sixteen wide, and about
twenty feet long, which has stood ever
since the days of Noah's remarkable
food as a guard upon the outside of
Sentinel Rock, which overhangs the val
ley opposite Leidjg's Hotel, by some un-
known cause deserted its lofty position
and came laundering and crashing down
the precipice, carrying everything be-
fore it. In its descent it crossed Nc
Cauley's trail three or four times, cut
ting perfect swath through the trees,
until it struck a giant pine, which, al
though it yielded, was sufficient to stor
its great force, and the huge bowlde.
rested within two or three hundred yards
of McCauley's house and residence.
Had it not been for the large pine, which
the rock spent its force against. it is
quite probable that McCauley, with his
family, would have been crushed to death
without the least warning. The falling
of the rock and the terrible crash, smoke
and dust which lined its pathway at
tracted the attention of quite number
of inhabitants of the valley, many of
whom Immediately visited The locality,
where it is said they found Nc auley APP
parently unconscious of the great dan
ger he had so miraculously escaped He
said he heard the noise, but supposed it
was caused by large bodies of ice which
form on the waterfalls above and have
an occasional tumbling off into the val
ley below. McCauley is said to have
stated that at the moment the rock made
its rapid descent he was fondling those
twin brother babies of his, with one upon
each knee, and his attention was SO alb
sorbed that he failed to notice the noise
and disturbance above more than usual.
