fer and wife left Pembna on May 10Th
for Chicago or st. Louis. He was not
satisfied with the country. Mrs. Schaf-
fer is not enjoying the best of health and
it is her intention of visiting the Hot
Springs of Arkansas.
D. C. CLARK has procured number of
Guinea fowls. They are the first birds of
the kind ever brought to Phoebe. He
now talks Of procuring some pea-fowls.
This community can stand the presence
of the Guinea-fowls, but when it comes to
importing pea-fowls, that will be screech-
ing all night, awakening and frightening
the young children at all hours, that is
imposing little too much upon good
natursd community.

Center Mill, Contention, Arizona, was
recently employed to 60 out to Mont

this country would not likely imagine
that trees four and half feet in diane.

butcher-shop on Sunday of this dimen'
sion, taken from tree on his wood ranch.

visited this locality for years commenced
Monday afternoon, and the shower con

to cause second growth of grass.

With an opera glass quite string of tai
