DR.. Conant has recently enlarged his
mdcal paper, "Anidrosis," to five col
umn folio, and as it Is now issued, 1t pre-
sents neat and handsome appearance.
An edition of 10000, was issued from
this office last week, but with his rapidly
increasing business, even this large supply
will be exhausted In q short time.
Haying was commenced In dead earnest,
on Monday last, and the opening day was
as fine as our farmers could wish. Yester-
day the weather was little more unfavor-
able, as q stiff breeze was blowing the
most of the time giving evidence of IN ap-
preaching rain storm. The grass has TAX
en- wonderful start during the last two
weeks, and while the hay crop of this sea-
on will not equal the magnificent yield Of
last, it is expected to compare very favor
ably with that Of former years.
The party Of bicyclers who paid US Wis
1t last season, are to visit Dexter this
month, on their journey to Moosehead
Lake. An eDdeavor is being made by some
of their citizens, to give them a ball on the
evening of their stay with them, but as
yet those who have the matter In hand are
receiving small encouragement. We may
remark here, that the reception rendered
them at Hotel Cobnrn, last season, by our
people, is not to be met with in every
place they visit.
About sixty of our ladies, mostly young
nlaidens, were In attendance on the goose
party held at Hayden Lake, last Thursday.
The day was an exceptionally fine one, till
about 4 o'clock P. NJ, when heavy thun-
der shower held sway for time, taking
away from the party little Of the good
spirit that had been prominent In the morn
ing and early afternoon. Fortunately am.
pie shelter was at hand, and the wet did
them no injury. The party arrived home
at an early hour in the evening.
The smart and prolonged showers, of
teen inches Friday, which caused another
heavy run Of logs into the booms, at this
village, and they were again broken, and
most Of the logs passed over the falls.
Messrs. Weston 6 Brainard, the owners of
the Mills, thus again were obliged to see
many Of the logs they need to supply their
mills, 60 down river. This is a very mn
fortunate season for them and their mills,
that are usually kept running through No
vember, will be obliged to shut down, this
season much earlier.
As the young son of Charles Falrbrother
was driving across Madison Street, from
Elm to reach Russell street, one evening
recently, he was run into by team care
lessly driven by woman from the suberbs
up Madison street. The accident resulted
in the smashing of wheel Of Fairbrother's
vehicle, that of the woman's evidently es.
Gaping without damage, as she immediate
ly pursued her way without waiting to as
certain the result Of her carelessness. We
understand that the matter has since been
adjusted satisfactorily.
Barnums Big Show exhibited at Water
vile, on Monday last, and an unusually
large number was In attendance from this
and surrounding towns; nearly three hum
dred tickets being sold at this station dur
ing the day and evening. AS ual, our
residents who went by train were too late
to witness the grand free street parade, as
1t took place at o'clock a. M, In the cool
OF the day. The show as whole was not
up to the standard Of former years, still
some of the features were frst-class, no.
tceably the trained baby elephant, the ex-
hibition Of Greco Roman statuary, and the
hippodrome races. The gymnasts and
bareback riding were only ordinary.
