The wool market frightened up a
little last week, and the purchases by
our several dealers aggregated $1,000
poundS at an average price of 80 cents.
For few extra fine lots as high as 32t
cents was paid. Van Auken got over
one-half of all that was offered-his
purchases footing up fully 5000 pounds
Conner & Osborn came next with 5000
pounds, and j. T. Clapp secured 1000
pounds. Shearing is now in full blast,
and larger quantities of the staple will
be offered from now on till the clip is in
the warehouses of the buyers 1t is not
thought, however, that the price will
be any better.
The appointment of Nv. Geo. II. Rem
ingtOn as postmaster at Bangor proba-
bly, completes the list of removals in
this county before the expiration of the
terms of the present ineumbents. Ger
tain il Is that no one having a right TO
express the sentiments of the people
will ask for a change here. OF course
there are those who, II they could name
his successor, would be pleased to have
Mr.. Mcclellan removed, but they are of
the class whose sole claim TO recOgni-
ton is their inordinate love of pap"
We congratulate the people of Bangor
in the selection OF Mr.. Remington for
this important position.
The Bellevue Gazette of the 9Th inst,
in an article descriptive of the Memorial
day exercises at that place, refers in
x.ny MI ptap FOR 20 uA,
l.. Eaton, who delivered the address
In the course Of its remarks the Gazette
says: "The address of Hon Chas l..
Eaton was one especially fitting to the
occasion, and has received very flatter-
ing comments from all who listened to
it. The speaker digressed somewhat
on similar occasions, and certainly gave
much greater satisfaction than had he
dwelt upon the stereotyped topics so
next regular meeting of Jas. B. Mason
resolution was introduced rendering
a vote of thanks to the Hon c. L. Eaton
for his very able and eloquent address
on memorial day" The NORTHERNER
is pleased to hear such pleasant words
spoken of a citizen whom we all delight
to honor.
1t must not be Inferred because the
Cleveland Bay Horse Co. is not i'm print
all the time that it is no longer in exist
ence This is one of the concerns of
which Paw Paw is proud. The perSonet
of the company is of our best material
young, energetic, alert business men,
with no shadow of old-fogyism about
any of them. They have some sixteen
stations in the stud, and their herd
comprises large number of fillies,
brood mares and colts. This company
purchased the fair grounds some two
years ago for the accommodation of
their stock, and have them finely fitted
up. They have ample shed and stable
room, and number of yards and small
paddocks, where exercise can be given
their stock and where brood mares and
their young colts can run unmolested.
A comfortable dwelling house for the
superintendent of stock and an office
for the transaction of certain class of
their business were found necessary
and erected A visit to these grounds
will well repay the trouble.
About eight o'clock yesterday morn

was accompanied by terrific peals of
thunder and lurid flashes of lightning,
the house of Mr.. James Burk, just south
of the race on Kalamazoo street, was
struck by lightning and his wife, Mrs
Margaret Burk, terribly though not
fatally shocked. The current had en-
tered the building by chimney on the
south end of the house, followed the
flue downwards, and at each aperture
for the admission of stove pipe the fluid
had left the chimney and swept the par
tition walls on either side clear of lath
and plastering and fairly pulverized the
studding. The rooms on the upper floor
were strewn with the debris from the
walls Mrs. Burk and her son, Il lad Of
some ii or 10 years, were standing in
the dining room, an uncarpeted apart
ment i'm the southeast corner of the
house, near a small heating stove. As
the current entered the room, by blow
ing the stove open and scattering its
contents over the floor, Mrs. b. fell, but
was caught in the arms of her son and
carried to couch. A physician was on
the spot at once and found that the left
foot had received the current, which
thence entered the floor The lady was
seen an hour after the occurrence. She
complained of numbness of the limb
from the knee down and n twitching,
