Thanksgiving is past, and now cry
of rejoicing comes up from the few sol
itary groups of turkeys whose shadowy
forms prevented their being sacrificed to
form an important feature of the
Thanksgiving dinner. Truly there is a
price set on their heads for have not
their lives been bartered away in every
imaginable shape from the sportsman $
rifle at 10 cents shot, which is very
cruel, to the game of cards at 25 cents
a corner. which is more unlawful.
The latter way we think is becoming
most to common. At the numerous
shooting matches in this and surround
ing neighborhoods we find more birds
''shot' with card, than by the old fash
Toned method of the fire lock. but it is
not our special mission to hammer NOR
atty into the readers of THE HERALD,
so we desist and leave the subject for
an ADLER hand.
For several evenings in the past few
weeks the wolves have entered a howl
ing protest against the recent action of
the County Board in raising the bounty
on their precious scalps. at least we
should judge they were precious by the
sums they represent at the county seat.
At times they come with in'80 rods, and
1
raise doleful howl which is Immediate
ly taken up by chorus of dogs, and
has the effect of making night hideous.
We presume they make their home in
''that cave" we add this as an addi-
tional caution to ''Jack Plane" should
eever make bold to enter its .smyster-
ious portals"
We have heard great deal of MUIR
muring among the farmers about soft
corn, and, as we had occasion to buy a
load last week, we mounted the wagon
of a granger who had load for sale
with the air of one who knew all about it,
and proceeded to make an inspection
of the lot. We found it very hard and
nice; the ears jingled merrily against
each other and in our Utmost soul we
condemned the farmer rs discontinued
lot any way. We at once purchased
the lot at 45 cents per bushel, inwardly
chuckling at the good bargain we had
made. But alas! how fleeting are the
the hopes of humanity. In few days
there came thaw and the pile melted
actually melted, and settled down to
about two-thirds its former size in q
filthy, jelly-like mass. II had been

Mr.. James Faris, of Flandreau, ID. T.,
is back on visit. He will spend the

being mated ere the genial spring time
sun shall melt the SHOWS from the hill

Captain Stone, the man who reared
Maud s., says that he does not think the
performance of the gelding Frank the
other day at New York, OF mile in
2:0S2, with running mate, such won
derful one as to make him anxious
about the position of Maud S., on the
score of fame. He believes that with a
good mate Maud S. can do the mile
under two minutes, and that first-class
athlete, by catching hold of the sulky,
could trail behind trotter, covering it

Mr.. j. w. Gordon, of Cleveland, is
laying miniature track on his land
north of the Chenille track. 1t is to
be laid in what was formerly known as

than a quarter of mile. The work is
well along, and before the winter is well
set the track will be finished. On the
bare ground layer of clay has been
set, and over it will 60 a liberal coat OF
tanbark. This will enable Clingstone,
Clemmie g., Guy, George V. and the
other horses in Mr.. Gordon's stable to
take work daily all through the winter.

On the farm belonging to the Thomas
estate, at Muscolunge, about three miles
west of Beetown, rich deposits of lead
have been discovered. Several shafts
were sunk in the early fall, with fair
success, which warranted working the
mines. A new shaft was sunk a few
days ago to the depth of sixty-five feet,
and mineral in large quantities has
been discovered. No little amount has
already been taken out, and the indica.
tons are that the mines will prove very
profitable. Messrs. l.. j. Arthur and

Mr.. c. w. KNAPP's new barn is about

has long been felt among local turfmen,
of stables which would be safe, healthy

winds of winter began to blow. the in

resulted disastrously but for the ener.

time during the evening, some one from
an upper story threw lighted cigar
stump out of the window, which fell in
box of wood and inflamable rubbish
below. 1t had probably been shoulder
ing there for some hours, when the
smoke which it created was discovered
and diligently sought for, and the fire
extinguished. There is little doubt
that. had the fire remained undiscovered
much longer, the consequences would
