We have a modern Rip and Dame Van

that he may wander off and fall asleep.
Miss Fannie Luther left this place last
Tuesday for Crown Point, where she ex-
poets to study music. May success go

Messrs. johnson & Williams, who have

Farmers are very busy breaking colts.
1t is very good time just now, for when
the colt gets unmanageable, just turn him
one side and he is buried in snow
bank.
Mr. John Raymond has sold his resi-
dence to Mr.. Shackett for 81 400. 1t is
reported that he expects to leave town,
but we hope that this will not prove true,
for he is one of our good citizens and it
is our desire to keep him.
Your correspondent called to see w.
G. Hacks Hosteln cattle, last week. and
was much pleased with them. They are
of little more than medium size, with clear
black and white spots, short horns, firm

to be superior to the Jerseys. These are
the only ones in town, we believe.
Our confectioner, Dan Babbitt, is do
| ing very good business as may well be
expected. He makes it very pleasant for
those who may slip in there. His store
is only few steps from the parsonage,
but no noise (such as is generally heard
around such stores) has reached the par
sonage yet, nor do we expect to hear of
any such, for Mr.. Babbitt says That
he will either keep it quiet or close.
| We would say to young lads that even
when the snow is drifted in the road,
walk therein. 1t is better to do that than
to try to walk rail fence, when going
to school. and fall off into a snow-bank
waddle around in it, and finally crawl
back upon the fence, all covered with
snow, look back, see your dinner all
scattered around. and say, "Well, it is
lucky that got out of that as well as |
| did"

1t is generally known, of course. that they

the same as the other, with the exception
of the name, "E. ID. Griswold." Both
