D. A Reed, better known as g Rill "
Reed died at North Adams, Mass,
last week of typhoid fever after an
illness of but one week. Rill removed
with his family to Lowell, Mass,
about a year ago, where he had made
his home since. He had gone to
North Adams in company with two
men and was to sell toys at Fair at
that place when stricken down with
the fever in its most violent form.

Our enterprising merchant, Fred
Child, has been giving some attention
of late to outdoor exercise. He ,
found shooting muskrats very exhilar-
ating, and few days ago went down !
to the river with Chas. Goddard on
an expedition. They did not find
them very numerous; but Fred kept :
up courage and presently shouted out
" Hurry up, Charlie, there's one, row
the boat lively, or he'll get away"
Charles pulled lively and Fred stood
up with shooting iron in hand ready 10
let her drive, He was nerved up to a
high key and so terribly afraid that he
would lose the fellow, he blazed away,
hitting it squarely. Pulling the boat
up alongside the carcas, there came
sudden change over Fred's counte-
nance. He had willfully and cruelty
slaughtered a block of wood. Now
when Fred goes hunting it is for part
ridges.
Attention is called to the notice of
a creamery meeting to be held at this
place on Saturday afternoon next.
The meeting is called more particular
ly, we believe, to discuss the relative
merits and dement's of the various
cans used for gathering cream. AS
the proprietor of the creamery intends
running the institution next year on a
cream gathering system, it is of course
for the interest of the farmer to know
which can is the best for the purpose.
The parties who have instigated the
meeting, and who have solicited our
farmers to sign the call, are interested
in the "Cooley Creamer." They claim
it is the best can for the purpose and
intend to show its various merits at
this meeting. Mr.. j. w. Dorsey, the
agent who will be present, tells us he
has had large experience in the cream
cry business, and he will doubtless
| give the farmers many new ideas con-
corning. the same. We do not wish |
to be understood as in favor of the
Cooley Creamer' Cor any other for
that matter) ; but simply give this no.
tice so that our readers may be present
and hear what is said. Let the farm
