AT HOME AGAIN.

Messrs. Hubbard & Son have re-
turned from the fairs of 1884 with
their prize winning herds and flocks.
having had better success than before
in the show ring; and especially with
their registered Berkshire swine, hav-
ing shown them at the Mich. State
fair, Western Union fair at Grand
Rapids, Central fair at Lansing,
Shiawassee Co. fair and Ovid Union
fair, winning in all SO prizes-I4 first,
IA second, 9 third and sweepstakes
prizes; making more prizes than any
other herd of Berkshires in the State
has won, proving their stock to be
prize winners equal to any and ex-
celled by none. They have for sale
at reasonable prices, pigs of both
sexes of breeding age, and guarantee
satisfaction to purchasers.
They have also purchased of A. A.
Wood, Saline, Mich, the prize win
ming yearling ram "a. A. Wood I67)
that took the first prize at the State
fair in the class open to the world,
with 76 entries; first at Grand Rapids
and at Ovid, these being all the
places he was shown. He was sired
by Rip VanWinkle $3.50 Vermont
Register; his dam by Banker (47I)

the best in breeding as we'll as good
individually. At the annual Mich.
sheep shearing festival at Lansing
last spring, this ram made record Of
IoH pounds for his first fleece.
Messrs. Hubbard paid $500 for this
youngster, thus showing their enter
prise and confidence in the breeding
of fine wool sheep. Their flock Of
Merino sheep will also soon take
front rank as one of the best in this
State. They are offering for sale
some choice rams of their own and
Vermont breeding at very reasonable
prices. Also few cows, LETTERS and
bulls from their well known herd of
Short Horns.
Messrs. Hubbard and Son have
spared neither pains or expense in
making their herds and focks among
the best in Michigan, and being in
the business 70 stay as breeders of
improved stock, they guarantee all
purchasers entire satisfaction, and
parties intending to purchase stock in
their line will do well to call on them
before purchasing elsewhere. Visitors
are always welcome whether they buy
or not. Correspondence addressed
to them at Bennington, Mich, will
be cheerfully answered.

Owen desired not only his share of
the Probate printing, but the zOhole

been made by him to secure the
whole had failed he, at last, sent a
prominent gentleman to me with this
message: Owen says eff you will give
him (Owen) $50 he will support you
with the repooipsno nominees On the
Republican ticket" My answer was,
81 will suffer defeat rather than be
bribed." In this, my last address to
the public, l ask not to be i'll judged
in consequence of reports circulated
by persons who prizes the paltry
sum of $50 higher than his own party.

A Young Mother.

Recently there occurred four miles
west of Alexandria, Ky, a case of
maternity the most remarkable in the
history of American obstetrics. The
mother, young cClored girl named
Rena Freeman, was horn March 5, 49,
73, and is therefore II years and 6
months old. She is small of stature,
being feet 8 inches in height, and
weighing but 90 pounds, and is Il child
in everything but experience.
After her confinement she acknow-
lodged that she had been seduced bv
her brother-in-law, Ross Johnson, a
burly negro, aged 80, and the father
of two children When taxed with the
seduction of his sister-in-law he did
not deny the charge. Her accoucheur,
Dr. L. S. Orr, says the case Is without
parallel in the medical history of
this country. He had considerable
difficulty with the patient, the infants

stating the operation of craniotomy.-
