expenses, The entertainment was very
hir,-rcmarkably good-cSpecially the
violin playing by Madam urso, aud
many who were present thought she
could beat the late Sam Pratt, but It he
was living he would not acknowledge
ii. Miss Potter is good reader, but
many of her selections have been worn
threadbare here by eloculionists, while
others were tedious and dry. Let us
state here, before We forget it, that We
never saw large audience seated more
quietly, aud everybody in the right
place, as it was on this occasion-Lu-
thcr o. Greene, and Warren C..
French, Jr., did il. This business has
created considerable annoyance on sew
eral occasions when seycn-cighths
fool-thc worst kind Of II ol-had
charge.

suicide, forget them, the apple crop is
going to be good, and cider and
apples will be plenty and cheap

rough on the potato bug-that's an
other comfort have you red front!
John S. Eaton has the redest Of any
one in town-we mean his store, of
course H. Z. Richmond & Co., drug
gists, have raised handsome sign over
their door-it is the work of artist E..

generally considered harbinger of
warm weather the honest Shaker
with his brooms and pals is in town Z;
we wish we could do something to
cleanse Brother Earle's moral nature,
but its no use, Mrs. Earle has tried
everything-those Digger Indians in
Oregon, with whom he camped, some
thirty years ago, sowed the seeds OF
moral and personal corruption, which
no amount of Christian teaching or
soap have been able to eradicate a

all that is blue that he saw panther,
face to face, on Reading hill, in mid
day, last week.

is q little cool yet.
Cold, wet weather, and ye gardner
man looks disconsolate,
