very of Surveyor Newman, we can
vo6ch for him. Last week we were
riding through Blaine township, when
he saw a black hear i'm the bushes, and
seizing his hatchet, sprang from the

soon returned however, after frighten-
ing nearly to death a couple of ladies
who were picking berries. accompanied
by dimunitive black dog.
1t is said that one of Grayling's

In 1881 there was two acres of wheat
harvested in Maple Forrest Township
and six acres in Beaver Greek. This
year there is over forty acres in Maple
Forrest, and two hundred in Beaver
Greek. We have not the figures from
the other towns but think the increase
in Center Plains and South Branch is
still greater. The certainty of grist-
mill here would double the acreage
sown this wear.
