MAPLE GROVE.

InomaS haVanan, Jr., VINO lett mere

friends in Maple Grove by unexpectedly
returning home last week. During his
he travelled through the
greater part of Nebraska and Iowa, and
gives glowing account of the country.
A little more snow. is what merchants,
farmers. lumbermen and people general
ally, Except pedagogues) are eagerly
craving for. 1t is really astonishing to

our farmers during the past week.
Mr.. J. w. O'Brien has considerably
improved his already large farm by the
addition of another so acres of land
which he purchased last week. We were
unable to learn the particulars of the
bargain.
On looking over The Pilot of the 10th
inst, we encountered several false items
from Maple Grove correspondent who
is unknown to us and for which we have
been uniustly reproyed. The mistakes
were undoubtedly made with no injurious
design yet some of the interested parties
seem to be none too well pleased. The
statement with regard to Thomas Nc
Namara of Nebraska being seriously hurt
while on his way to the Oshkosh Hospi-
tai is untrue and was probably assumed
from similar report regarding Martin
Mcnamara brother of the gentleman
named, who, while working in Rawling,
Wyoming Territory. received such in
juries as to render the amputation of one
of his hands necessary. Mr.. Thomas
Mcnamara is at present visiting his
friends and relatives in Maple Grove.
Another statement to the effect of
recent marriage at the Pine Grove church
We believe is mistake also. AS far as
we can learn no such marriage took
place
The school in Dist. No. 1, will close

vantage offered them by the unusually

to school quite regularly, which is some
thing new for great many of them.
The total number of pupils registered in
the above district during the past term
was 60, and the average daily attendance
So.
There will be a rattle and dance at the
residence of j. W. O'Brien on Saturday
night, Feb. 18th. Those who desire to
participate in a good time and have lots
of fun should not fail to be present.
John Tougher, an uncle of Father Rice
was buried in the Morrisontown cemetery
on the 23d. Mr.. Tougher lived life of
industry and toll and quietly sank to rest

Father Rice, on collecting tour, called
on his Pensioners in this vicinity last
Friday. He was cordially received. and
handsome voluntary contributions were
given by all to pay for the large bell re-
Gently placed in the Maple Grove church.
Father Rice has done much good since
he came here and enjoys the respect and
esteem Of all whose opinion is of any mo.
mont to him.
Father Mahoney, formerly pastor of
this congregation. is at present connected
with the cathedral at Milwaukee. Father
NJ. is an eloquent speaker and wins and
holds the friendship of all with whom he
comes in contact.
Thomas MacNamara, of Nebraska, is
here visiting boyhood scenes and friends.
He speaks in hattering terms of his new
home 'and mourned that long before
he found it not"
The report of case of small pox at
Brillion proves to be canard. 1t is be
coming epidemic in Depere. A Miss
Skunk of Morrisontown caught the dis
ease while working in Depere and was
Immediately brought to her home. Such
conduct is reprehensible. A patient af-
ficted with contagious disease should
be left where the disease was contracted
and not brought into community till
then free from It's dangers and effects.
Mrs. D. Hickey, wife of the editor of
the Depere Facts, succumbed to the dis
ease last week. Mr.. Hickey has many
friends here who sympathize with him
in his great loss.

venture to say the work was well done.
A number of the teachers of this dis
trict purposed taking the Meme meeting
Gin last Saturday, but the absence of
'the beautiful made the roads uninvit-
ing. Some other time, boys.
This county is blessed with one of the
most inefficient postal systems in the
country. Not unfrequently are mail
packages addressed to Kellner's sent to
Osman. Whose fault is that2 Packages
for Oslo also get to Osman! Whose fault?
Packages of Chicago and Milwaukee dali
lies are carried past their destination by
the trains. Where lies the blame? a
little more care or pair of good spec
tacles for official eyes would lessen, if it
did not obyiate, the grievances complain
ed of.
A teachers meeting will be held at
Cato next Saturday, and it is hoped ali
