be finished this week; the prospect for
fruit is splendid; every farmer hopeful
and more than busy As they have no
time for stopping to talk to tramps,
agents, or other rowing customers, what
knowledge one picks up now he has to
obtain by his individual observation, and
furnish his own comments. And the
season is forward and full of promise,
and it is to be hoped that our farmers
who really uphold all'' will not be dis
appointed. One thing is certain, they
never 60 on strikes yet suffer more
from monopolies than any other class.
The strike in this village was COM
plete success; everybody is satisfied,
wishing neither to buy nor sell the "ar-
dent, and our village, for the first time
in the memory of man, stands forth as a
strictly temperance town. The eloquent
lecturer the other night wasted his elo
quence, as there was No one to convert;
nothing to kick at, and he started out
northward ON Sunday to develop the
enemy that he was after in some more
contentious and dissipated locality.
Meanwhile we deluge our surprised
stomachs with copious supplies of cold
water and sleep the sleep of the just.
But our sympathies cannot but 90 out to |
those innocents from neighboring cities,
who start from home with the usual |
half pint ''roadometer' and find they |
cannot replenish their empty reservoirs
upon their arrival here. Their stay is |
short, their conversation emphatic, their
exit hasty, and caution to horse-hesh. |
Their home merchants should lay in a |
supply of ''pints'' and quarts" as the
fashion has changed and the call will be |
immense, though the size is rather bulg-
ing to a summer suit, and therefore in
convenient. But all great reforms are
not reached without heaps of inconve-
viences to those most affected

Rev, J.P Pinkham lectured to a small |
audience last Saturday evening. AL
though he is very able speaker, it was
cloves labor lost
We are nearly all of us, here, practical |
believers in ''womens rights and have
for some time allowed then. to sell all
the merchandise, buy all the produce,
handle the mails, do all the talking, and
run the machine generally. Having

course, we shall have to import lawyers

even this very small portion of it,
Mrs. Anderson and Miss Mary Morse
have re-opened their millinery and dress
making shop, with a full assortment,
and the head of many family has re-
solved himself into an anxious committee
on ways and means IN consequence
thereof.
George b. Wheeler and his family
moved to Lancaster on Monday and the
hamlet of Muscalunge is now next to
desolate. George is a clever, competent
man and we regret his departure, but
don't believe he will particularly enjoy
himself monkeying around with those
vicious racers, and sincerely hope that
he will refrain from kid gloves, and join
ing the Agricultural Society and not get
above recognizing visiting TRAMP.
