Heavy rain last week set every
thing right for the crops; every thing
in that line is looking fine; corn bids
fair for good crop Notwithstanding
the late cold spring.
Winter wheat will be ready to har-
vest this week.. and is a good crop
here in the timber the recent dry
weather did it no damage.
Haying will be well under way
this week; grass is good but not as
heavy as last year.

Henry Wright sold a fat pig one

everyone noticed that Charley

Well here it is nearly harvest time
and despite all the favorable crop
reports we are not going to get more
than half crop of small grain.
Plenty of rain now, but it comes
too late to help small grain.
People are haying now with a
prospect of poor hay, on account OF
frequent showers.
Our neighborhood is still improv.

being enlarged and bcauti6cd.

AN INTERESTING event which
las lust occurred in Antrim, n. H.,
is the return from California, after
an absence o f thirty-one years, of a
man whose family have long sup
posed him to be dead. He went to
California when the gold fever
broke cut, correspondent with his
wife some years, and then ceased
corresponding. His only son, who
was about 8 years old when the IA
ther went away, is now a merchant
in Antrim and one of the selectmen
of the town. About two months
ago he received a letter from Sacra-
mento saying that his father was
very i'll there aud not likely to le-
cover. He replied Immediately, d.
rected that his father be cared for,
and subsequently, he received a let
ter from the father himself, saying
he was better, and might come east.
A few days ago a telegram from
Chicago announced that the long
lost parent was en- route for Boston,
where ne wasEmet On his arrival by
the son, who recognized him and
escorted him home. The wife is
still living. The returned Califor-
nian is more than 70 years old.

a LADY at Parkville. Conn, when
one of her children was taken with
the prevalent fever, which tends to
blend with diphtheria, and has
proved SO fatal, resolved to adopt
preventive measures, to save at least
the other children. She hung up
sheets in the sick room that were
thoroughly wet with carbolic spray
and pretty soon everything else in
that and the adjoining rooms were
similarly treated. As fast as the
wetted articles got dry tie carbolic
acid was renewed. Result: the sick
child rapidly recovered, and neither
of the others got sick.

The PROTEST of the Salt Lake
bar against detaching Summit
County from the Third Judicial
District, has. been presented to the
United States Senate, where it will
probably be needed. The PROPOSE
ton to increase the supreme judges
to four, and create another district,
ought to be.faVorably considered, but
the attempt to take Summit from
the district TO which it belongs geo
graphically and otherwise, is an en-
tirely different thing. The conyen.
fence of the public, and not clerk
fees, is the matter TO be considered
i this case.
