TO hear her utter genuine feminine
scream, and see her drop to the floor;

gathered her up il his arms and began
raving over her in a manner that aston

and "his own Katy" and actually kissed
her.
l was surprised at myself afterward
that hadn't ordered that gentlemen out,
bat it never occurred to me at the time
and when Katy .'came to" and sat up on
the sofa and heard his speeches, she
seemed so we'll pleased that left them
and took the children ~ to our room,
feeling bewildered all over.
What shall say further? Oalv that
Katy lives in pretty house in the town
known as Dr.. Ctaig's residence, where
we three ''factory girls" have home
whenever we want it. And there are no

There hss been more sickness in our
town the last two months than usual for
same length OF time. The prevailing
disease is diarrfe,, with two cases. of
typhus fever, that Of Aaron Headley's
two sons, George and Eliel. The sick
are all convalescing, except one of the
cases of fever.
We have to record the death of T.
W. Mellott an aged and respectable citi-
zen Of our town who on the morning of
the Oath oheyed the call of the Master,
and peacefully passed over the cold Jor-
dan. Deceased had livel to the ripe
old age of 50 years; his remains were
taken to East Sunshury for interment.
The wheat of this neighborhood is
about all thrsshed and is splendid. Oats
almost an entire failure. Corn is prom.
ising good yield. Potatoes good, but
beginning to rot. From present out.

the coming season.

A HINT on Wheat Seeding.

While there may not he any great ad.
vance made in the vieli per- acre OF
wheat with the modern improvements.
the gain is found in less seeding and su.
perior quality of market grain. Shruu.
ken or cracked grains will make, il any,
plants too weak to withstand insects and
frost. Far better clean ont all that the
best tanning mills and strong brine will
remove, and feed it to the chickens than
to use it for seed. Good seed, plump
aud full grained, is necessity. And
when such seed is drilled into we'll pre-.
pared and rich ground all over, half
hushel to an acre has the same effe.t
that five, six and eight grains of corn in
the hill has, viz: to make q slender
growth of stalk and small ears The
wheat plant reqnires room for tilleriag.
