muddy knees and chapped hands have

Rodger Barrettreportsthat he has really
seen frogs, and Andrew DePeel says
that he has seen robins.
Goheen q Young, with their charac-

obliging ways to customers they will
find success in this line also.
ID. Macarthur has moved into his

regularly to surrounding towns and
people seem thoroughly pleased with
his stock.
"Ayer's Cherry Pectoral has given

There has been a sweeping change
i'm the ownership and management of
the Commercial House during the
week. Sam White has bought the ho-
tel building from its former proprietor,
Henry Griswold, and George Easton
has rented the hotel and purchased
the hotel furnishings from Peter Pyne,
the former landlord. Mr.. Pyne has
not decided upon his plans for the
future.
Until Postmaster Jones shall be able
to enter the new brick block which he
will build at the earliest opportunity
next to the Gustin block, the post Of
flee will be located in the rear of Mills
store. A temporary partition has been
built which closes the Office from the
rest Of the store and gives admittance
through the side door. The quarters
are rather circumscribed at present,
but we may gladly submit considering
that we shall have a very convenient
Office next spring.
The Farmers Institute has been in
session in Port Huron since Tuesday.
The meeting throughout has been
characterized by good common sense
talk. Questions of great importance
to the farmers have been exhaustively
explained by men who have made the
subjects matters of particular research.
Among those who spoke were Judge
w. T. Mitchell of st. Clair, Prof. l.. r.
Taft and +. X. Bennett of the agricult-
ural college. The latter spoke upon
"The Silo". The subject is very i'm
portant one and was thoroughly treat.

w. III. Palmer informs us that he has
put his sickle bar in moving machine
lately and run it over a rough meadow
until the noighbors thought he was
crazy and never knife was loosened.
This surely verifies the excellence of
the invention and must silence the
only objection ever raised against il
that the knives would not hold firmly
against the immense shaking a sickle
bar SUBSTANCES. If the knives will stand
the rattle of going empty over this
frozen ground they must be fastened
like adamant. We think Mr.. Palmer's
success is assured. He showed it in
Port Huron on Monday and the inven-
ton met with universal appreciation.
He contemplates going to Chicago on
next Monday. May success crown the
effort.
