CARVING A TURKEY.

A skillful carver places the fork in the
bird and does not remove it until the
whole is divided. The turkey having been
relieved of strings and skewers used in
trusting, should be placed on the table
with the head or neck at the carver's left
hand.
First insert the fork firmly as indicated
in the figure, then remove the whole leg
and thigh by a cut shown at a; next re-
move the wing by cut, as at b, letting
these parts lie ON the platter. Then cut
downward as many slices from the breast,
the white meat, as may be desired Gas
shown in the lines at g; then make an
opening into the cavity of the bird, hid
den in the figure here given, by the leg,
for dipping out the inside dressing Next
separate the leg from the thigh or second
joint The side bone is removed by cut
ting down from above as shown at DID,
The wing gives one good cut that nearest
the body. If one side Of the turkey is
not sufficient, the other may be carved in
the same manner us described.

The Saddle Sulky.

A new sulky has recently been patented by
Charles F. Stellman, NJ. d., of New York,
with curved axle, to admit the rear Of the
horse between the wheels. This permits the
horse to turn upon his center OF motion,
thereby making riding very safe, as the sulky
becomes like part of the horse. 1t would be
especially serviceable on rough roads or where
ordinary vehicles cannot be used.

Earr's Address.

The meeting of Hon. Geo. A. Farr. at
Longwelrs Opera House. last Tuesday even
ing, was a grand success. He devoted most
of his time To a review and explanation of the
position of the republican party on the temper
ance question, showing conclusivey that it is
to that party that the people must turn for
desired legislation in favor OF the suppression
of the liquor traffic. Mr.. Farr is an eloquent.
argumentative and ready speaker. and his
remarks were frequently interrupted with
tumutuous applause. The happy way in
which he answered a string of categorical
questions, prepared and submitted 10 him by
Mr.. j. W. Free. prohibition candidate for the
legislature, copies of which were circulated
among the audience, was particularly appre-
ciated 10y his hearers, and called forth rounds
of applause. We have not the space 20
review the address, but some of the topics
upon whicn he enlarged, may be found treat
ed of TO some extent in another column of
this paper. Some of our democratic friends
were very much dlsgruutled by the remarks
of the speaker, fact that we can account for
only upon the theory that they hate to see
their little ally compelled TO endure such
scathing rebuEe.. Scratch political prohi-
btionist and you irritate a democratic pachy.
derm. On the whole, the address was just
what was needed here, and can bat result in
good to the republican cause. While it may
not convert those who are joined to their
Idols from the error of their ways, il will
certainly strengthen temperance republicans
in their faith in the principles of their party.

They VIII Vote for Monroe.

The following letter, signed by prominent
citizens of Lawton, shows in what estimation
Mr.. j. ID. Monroe is held by those who are
best acquainted with him. The NoRTHERNER
trusts no republican will be induced to vote
against him by anything that may be said by
political opponents His we'll known ability
and integrity, together with his splendid
record as a soldier, ought to insure him every
republican vote in the county.
LAwToN, Oct. 25th, 1886.
EDITOR TRUE NoRTHERNER:
Learning that an effort is being made by
certain parties to create an impression that
Joel ID. Monroe, republican candidate for
register of deeds, is an unfit person to hold
such Office, We, his neighbors, take pleasure
in saying to the people of Van Buren, County,
that Mr.. Monroe is an intelligent, industrious
and sober mechanic, we'll qualified to per-
form the duties of the position; that he
served upwards ofthree years in the war of the
rebellion and is entitled to hearty support
at the polls. We advocated his nomination
and shall vote for him because we believe in
the election of competent man who will
fill the office with honor to himself and with
credit to his constituents.

Obituary.

The people in Paw Paw were startled on
Wednesday last, by the sad news that Hattie
Snodgrass was dead. Her illness had been so
brief that few of her friends were aware of
it, and fewer still were prepared for its sad
terminus. The deceased was the second
daughter OF John l.. Van Ness, and sister of
Mrs. Matte Brewer, who, since the mothers
death, has given 10 Hattie almost a mothers
love and care, and will sadly mourn the
bright-faced, happy-hearted sister. -Four
years ago, she was united in marriage to
Charles. Snodgrass and their home was one
of those happy, peaceful nests, where dscord
and contention found no welcome
Hattie had lived in Paw Paw since early
childhood, and was well known to old and
young. Here she gave her heart to Jesus
here she shed her childish tears over moth
er's grave: here she plighted her marriage
vows; and here. surrounded by loving friends,
she breathed her life away; and here
We laid her meath the autumn leaves,
With flowers upon her breast
And whispered, though with aching heart,
The dear Lord knoweth best.
We tender our loving sympathy to father,
husband, brother and sister, praying that the
broken ties may be reunited in the meeting
place beyond tho river. Il. =.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1886-10-28

We wish to take this opportunity to thank
the many friends, who were so kind and
sympathetic in hours of sorrow and affliction,
for it would seem that nothing was left un-
done, that kind hands and loving hearts
could do to tighten the gloom. Words are
weak things when we try to express our
gratitude, and we can only say, we are
very thankful and your kindness will never
be forgotten.
