We the undersigned from the counties of
Allegan, Cass and Van Buren, Michigan, WIS.,
iting Dayton and inspecting the hedges in
their various stages of growth as grown
by the Dayton Hedge Co., report that we
were allowed the utmost freedom of inspec-
ton, and that We cross-questioned the own
ers of several hedges as TO the ability of the
company to fulfill its contracts and also as
to the satisfaction which these hedges were
giving as barrier TO stock. Upon all these
questions the replies were satisfactory, and
the committee unanimously agree that in
situations free from shade or wet places, with
proper preparations of soil of moderate fer
tility, and if due care is given the cultiva-
ton by the owner at the proper time and In
the proper manner, hedges can be grown in
southern Michigan-clmate influences ex-
cepted-as good as those visited, at Dayton.
Every person whose hedge was inspected
was enthusiastic over his success in making
a living fence, and We, the undersigned, are
free to express the opinion that all perfected
hedges are good protection to fields from
stock of all kinds, and are not only efficient
for such protection, but are very ornamen-
tai.

Burglary.

couple of daring burglaries were COM
mitted in our village, last Thursday night
The victims were w. II. Dansby and G.. nj.
Harrison. The evillain-appearances indicate
there was but one-efected an entrance into
Mr.. Dansby's residence by way of bedroom
window, cutting out musquito bar screen,
which was probably all the obstruction there
was. Mr.. ID. is unable 10 state whether the
window was closed or not, bat thinks il
quite probable it was not, as he has been in
the habit of leaving both windows and doors
open. His pockets were rihed, the thief OBJ
tanning about $50 in money and a gold
watch After securing his booty, he
passed out through the door, without having
disturbed any of the family.
At MIR. Harrison's a silver watch was
taken from the pocket of Mr.. H., and about
three dollars in money, belonging TO the
children, was taken from a bureau drawer.
Entrance was obtained to the house, by un-
locking the front door. A lamp was then
lighted and taken into another room, where
the bureau drawers were ransacked. After
doing this the scoundrel went up stairs,
where the family all slept, and secured the
watch. Mrs. IL. was awakened and called
to the hired girl TO know if she was up, and
received negative reply. This frightened
tue Iulel anu ue hdoIly tOOh LIS OOPaA0uO'
Mrs. II. sprang from the bed and just caught
a glimpse of him, as he was leaving. She
awakened George, who is a sound sleeper,
telling him he had been robbed. He ran
down stairs but could see no one, and after
making an examination, and finding the
KEYS of the store and safe still in his pockets
and nothing missing, as he supposed, except
his watch, both he and his wife again re-
tired without raising any alarm. This oc-
Cured at half past two, and it was not until
morning that it was ascertained that the thief
had plundered the bureau. 1t is not known
which place was first visited, but probably
Harrison was the first to receive the undesira-
bic attention. Suspicion points quite strong
ly toward home talent, but there are, as yet,
no Developments that would warrant an ar
rest.

A Misery Patient.
Boston Globe.J

The following true story is told of a
Montreal physician: He was called late at
night to attend a very misery old man,
whom we will call Hardpay. He found
the latter in a very anxious frame of mind,
and unable to articulate single word, his
jaw having been dislocated. The affected
member having been reduced, Hardpay
asked the doctor how much he charged.
"My fee, sir, was the reply, "is So. T."
'sFive dollars, " said Hardpay, affecting
establishment; "Ill give you 81; not cent
more. I"
A bright idea struck the doctor; and he
pretended to waive the question, as if dis
Inclined to handy words about so trifing q
matter
"By the way, " he said, taking seat,
"did you ever hear that story about re-
covering umbrellas2" and he proceeded to
rake from the ashes Of the past this ancient
story and all the other chestnuts he could
think Of
Mr.. Hardpay stood it for awhile with
out being visibly affected, but at last
yawned and threw his jaw out of place
This was what the doctor anticipated
"Good evening, Mr. Hardpay, he said.
pleasantly, rising as if to take his leave.
Mr.. Hardpay vouchsafed no reply, but
gestieulated wildly, pointing to his mouth.
The doctor pretended for time to mis-
understand his signals of distress and con-
;tinued to retreat; but finally relented CD
sud signalled the old man that he would
reset the jaw for $40 cash.
The old man looked at first as if re-
solved to GLOW the jaw to remain where
Il was. but soon saw that the doctor was
firm and counted out the required amount
The law was then once more put in place,
and the doctor took his departure, chuck
ling at the success of his stratagem.

reproducing a smuggling Match.


A novel use to which instantaneous, pho
Biography may be put has been recently
suggested. Every one is familiar with the
interesting experiments Of Mr.. MuybridGe,
whose Photographic discoveries regarding
the various positions assumed by a
horse in motion so astonished the
artists. Mr.. Muybridge's instantane-
Gus views will, if properly arranged and
made to pass rapidly before the eye, be
blended into the semblance OF single
figure which has the appearance of the
most life-like motion. Mr.. Muybridge has
recently been taking pictures of q boxing
match end it is suggested that he shall
execute a series of views of the next prize
fight In which the Boston slugger, John L.
Sullivan, is engaged.
If this can be successfully accomplished
the views may be reproduced by wholesale
and sold all over the country, so that, with
the aid of "thaumatrope" such as can be
bought in any toy-store, one can sit in his
own parlor and view the fight
from the first round to the final
knockout In this manner, too,
records may be kept of all great battles
fought by the champions of the ring. 1t
would thus be possible years hence, when
Mr. Sullivan is dead, to see him knock
out Mr.. Mitchell or Mr.. Pete Mccoy, and
from the opportunity thus afforded the
student of the manly art TO study the
methods of fighters living and dead pupil
istic science would derive the greatest
benefit
