 We also have received l, 1883 calenders so that in one room of our house we can take note of the passing time, for the walls ! indicate Hcalender craze. ;" An immense shoe bill caused us te think of the time we were shed by res. ident shoemakers, and suggested the idea that perhaps shoes made by them would last at least 6 week, even on the feet o1 active Young America of the present gen eration, so an order was given to J. B. Foster, the mute shoemaker, for regular s.stubbers," and the result is nicely it ting shoes with sensible heels, which look as if they might do excellent service.

 IN. l.. Day cor. An interesting dis cussion in the depot of this place, few days ago, batween Isaac Portray and F. W. Pratt, will probably result in trot- ting match to take place at an early date. The horses named are MT. Pratt's Provi- dence Boy and MT. Portray's Modoc. Both horses have good records, and the people of this place look forward with no little anxiety to the day on which the con- test will take place. MT. Portray's horse is very fine stopper, and travels about 16 miles every day on the. West Willing ton and Westford stage, which is sufficient to keep him in trotting order. MT. Pratt has given MT. Portray the privilege to se- lect the road over which the horses will trot and name the distance. The stakes are $50 side. It seems to be the opin- ion of our best horsemen that Providence Boy will down Modoc.
