view to a reunion at some future day.
Next Saturday (Arbor Day. is to

ID, on the subject Of Temperance, by
l.. Dillingham;, to commence at half

The Shepard Family (seven men,
bcrs) will give musical entertainment
at the Town Hall, Saturday and Mon
day evenings, April u, and &C.
The performers are highly spoken Of
by the press, the pulpit and the public.
The Bradford Opinion says: The
Shepard Family gave one OF the best
musical performances last evening ever
heard in Bradford. The versatility Of

More foolishness was displayed on
the public square Saturday evening
than we have seen in this village for II
long time. Staples drum corps stop
ped in front of the entrance 20 the Sal
walton Army rooms and commenced to
play, which attracted quite crowd.
The captain Of the army undertook to
convert it into one Of his meetings. but
the crowd didn't see it. and angry
words were used on both sides. The
Captain was to blame, he should have
kept quiet and let the boys alone. We
don't think the band intended anything
wrong, yet it might have been well
enough if it had not stopped there.
Brother Gardner, President of tho
Detroit Lime-Kiln Club, gets of
wisdom occasionally. He says -
"Be kecrlul ;whom you credit. Dan
am plenty of people in dis world who
like 10 pay debts, but dar am about dc
same number who will jump you Iol
