Wheat Lyon County.

We are informed by DIR. Thomas ar.
NOR, who has gwen the matter much at.
tentiOn, that the wheat yield in Lyon
county this season Will average from
twenty To twenty five bushels Ia the
acre, and that the quality of the grain is
exceptionally good. The acreage is
much larger than that of last year, and
the Doctor ventures the prediction tina;
it will stIll be very greatly increased this
fall. For some years past this branch
of agriculture has been almost entirely
superseded by coru-srowIug, but as
there seems e. be abundant evidence
that wheat-Tai>ing can be carried on
with profitable results in this county II
is reasonable Il as sumo that our farmers

THE CLEANERS SOCIETY

held their annual entertainment in
the parlors of Fort street Church on
Thursday evening. According to
promise the entertainment begun
punctually at O'Clock by a very
pretty piano duct by Miss II. Dick
son and II. Hillebrand. Then came
a recitation by Mrs. w. Hopper,
which we could not hear owing to
the noise Of people talking at the
doors and moving about. Miss c.
Castle played Schultz's Sclavonic
song as a pianoforte solo to the
great satisfaction of the audience,
who would have liked to have heard
it a little longer. Then came the
event of the evening, the Fan Drill,
by ten little Kate Greenaways, from
8 to 8 years of age, five dressed in
pink and white and five in blue and
white. Miss Sarah King superin-
tended the drilling, and Miss Moss
man played the musical accompani-
ment. So great was the desire to
see the beautiful and bewitching
sight that many people got up from
their seats and crowded forward to
obtain better view. The coquetry
of the movements OF the little dar.
lings was both surprising and en-
chanting. Miss King deserves great
credit for the perfection which
they attained in only one months
prctice. Seven of them were from
the kindergarten and three from
Fort street School. After this came
a vocal solo, " Kisses tell the tale"
from Mrs. Cruzan, which struck
home to all hearts and was vigorous
ly applaudcd. Mrs. Adams gave II
recitation from Henry WILL, which
was we'll received. The quartette,
which ended the programme, was
next given.
After this the screens were drawn
aside, and the business of the even
ing commenced. Cakes and coffee,
ice-cream and sandwiches filled up
the void pleasantly, and fortified
one for a stroll round the fancy
table, the doll table, the candy
stand and the flower table. Many
purchases were made, and social
conversation and fun INDUCED in till
about 10 O'clock. The receipts
amounted to over $500.

be found the President asked that
