the eldest daughter, aged IL years, of Mr.. Caleb
Pearce, took place oath inst, at Bosley Church,
Rev. S. M Afford, officiating. She mad been sub

Mrs. Thomas Griffith's funeral was largely at
tended on Sunday afternoon last, at Friends

near the 17-Mle House, York turnpike, has sold
his farm of % acres to Mr.. David Pearce, who
now resides on the property.

everything brought fair prices.
A recent visit 10 the farm of Mr.. l.. Lee, near
Phoenix afforded pleasure and interest. His sur
roundings are attractive and his Improvements
commodious and convenient. He has a twenty
horse power engine with which he does the neces-
sary grinding, cutting and threshing, and is amp
ly supplied with the best machinery. His stables
are we'll arranged and very suitable for the com
fort and health of his large stock of mich cows,
s;s of Olsfains AvrashjrpS and AlderneVS.
Water is conveyed to the dwelling and barn with
out any manual labor. At the latter tank has
been put up which holds 500 barrels of water.
He ships about so gallons of milk daily. 1t is
due Mr. Lee to say that all he has done shows the
best judgment and is indeed complimentary to
him. We are glad to know be is numbered with
our Sth district farmers. Mr.. L. is always glad
to entertain his friends and show them bis many
advantages.
Mrs. Edward Austen and daughter, and Miss
McMurrin, arrived from the south on Saturday
last. having Loou eLeout since December
Mr.. Charles Knapp, who works Mr.. Loves
farm, certainly has the best field of wheat in the
this community. 1t promises large yield and
the same is attributed to the use of kainit and
South Carolina rock, which cost per ton about
SIS. If low price fertilizer will do this, where
is the need of high grade phosphate?
A little sx-year-old son of Mr.. Cyrus Albright
fell down barn stairway, and injured his skull.
He is better and it is hoped he will not suffer in
the future from the effects of the fall.
