A green chap from the country stepped
into one of our groceries the other day
and called for a pound of "Roman can
dies" Said he didn't like to carry a
lamp when goingto bed at night for fear
of an explosion. He got the candles but
hasn't been heard of since.
An agricultural paper has an article on
kicking cows. 1t is hard to imagine a
man who can be SO mean as to go around
kicking these useful and inoffensive ami
mails, but we suppose there are such
wretches, or the article would not have
been written.
Don't forget that J. H. Unger is closing
out without regard to cost Of goods. If
there is anything you may want in the
next two years you can afford to buy it
now.
The Central Committees of the two
parties should have met and made ar
rangements for a citizens meeting in Ea-
ton to nominate a ticket, selected a good

position. The way u Corporation and
Township elections have been run lately
is simply a disgrace to our town

William F. Straw, who has been the
polite and accommodating clerk in Frank
Filbert's grocery SO long, left last week
to attach himself in the bill sticking
corps OF Sells circus. We wish Billy
success in his new undertaking. Char
ley Patten takes his place and will be as
polite as a French dancing master to all
the old married customers he happens
to strike, and have a smile, a mint drop
or a "kiss' for all the young ones, espe-
cially OF the female gender.
An exchange humanely says: Do not
laugh at a drunken man Keeling through
the street however ludicrous the sight
may be-. Just stop to think. He is 60
ing home to some tender heart hat will
throb with agony; some doting mother
perhaps, who will grieve at the downfall
of her once sober boy; " it may be a
fond wife, whose heart will almost burst
with grief as she views the destruction of
her idol; or it may be a loving sister,
who will shed tears over the degradation
OF her brother, shorn Of his manhood and
and self-respect.
A correspondent of the Fruit Recorder
says: San experiment made last year
by myself may not come amiss at this
time with those who grow strawberries.
l procured half a hogshead, filed it with
rain water, and put into it one quarter
pound of ammonia and n quarter pound
of common nitre. When the strawberry
plants were poisoning out I gave them
a sprinkling Of the solution at evening,
twice a week, until the fruit was nearly
ripe. The result was double the amount
of fruit on those where the liquor was ap'
piled, to where there was none"

The picnic at the Springs IN Thurs

| notwithstanding the weather was cool
There was probably four or five hur

shovels, rakes, axes, and other imple
p ments of labor, together with sewers
two-horse wagon teams, and the amour
of work done by the close of the da

month from this time a magnificent brio
structure will show itself to the visito
