and repainted from to lizard. Hank is a

good many hunters have ferrets TO do
their rabbit hunting, and dogs have TO take
a back seat. IL is poor hunter who don't
bag 10 or - rabbits in a day with ferret.
II IS a murderous way to hunt, though.
Ambrose Sherburne, who went from the
Lee district to Dakota, about year ago is
very i'll and not expected to recover. His
little boy Claude, has been sick with some
kind of fever, aud lost the use of his lower
limbs. Ambrose resides in Aberdeen, and
has claim about twenty miles out.
One of our esteemed fellow citizens start
ed for home the other night, after the turkey
rattle, accompanied by young blood, whose
reputation is not as pure and spotless as an
angels wing, and the next thing e. f. C.
knew, he found himself lying in the rear of
the Office of the Phoenix Mills, minus one
boot, his hat and about so in money
Elder Corey had a surprise, Thanksgiving
day, that was good one. 1t was the work
of his brethren and sisters at Ostemo. Some
half dozen loads drew up, and dumped out
a quantity of provision that looked to us az
though it would last him year. The Elder
must swing pretty good lip down that way,
as they seem to appreciate his services.
Saturday night a couple of rural ROSTERS
were in town and got glorously happy over
little zopesa, and they were hugging and
soldering over each other like couple of
babes. All went well until one got his pro-
boscis in the others pipe, and burned
the end OF it to blister. When last seen
he was soaking it in kerosene to take the
fire out.
Minerva Underwood, the woman who can
rake and bind all the wheat that Richard,
her husband, the battle Scared veteran of
two wars, can cut in a day, has bought of

is great worker, and, if she lives long
enough, she will be millionairess one of
these days.
The other night, handsome young lady
III town dressed up in boys clothes and per
ambulated the streets very nicely with an
other young lady, and was only detected by
the beautiful little swing she gave, when
passing the opposite sex. Poor girl she
couldn't help the swing, but we would say
for her benefit that married ladies' are never
troubled with it.
Many of the handsome widows, maids and
ladies' of the village have met
us ON the streets and urged us to carry out
the plan of writing them up for the beneftof
those who might be interested in the matter.
But the list is SO long that it would require
every column in the paper to do the fair
subjects justice, and we are reluctantly com
PEELED to abandon the scheme.
All who live in the eastern part of this
village are not temperance people The
other day one of them got drunk, and, on
his way home. laid down to rest i'm the meet
ing house sheds. We asked him what he
was doing and he replied that he was one of
the presiding Elders, and had called special
meeting to consider the propriety of re-

pass on and not disturb the audience We.
