To have felon on ones left thumb
as forerunner of a severe illness, and
then companion piece on ones right
thumb to conclude it, is certainly to be

tice OF Kalamazoo, and we extend our
hearty sympathy.

Threshing corn is again favorite
method with farmers. The season has
been so dry that stalks and corn are in
very favorable condition for securing
both in fine shape. The threshed fod-
der can be slowed away in about one
third the space required for whole
stalks, and corn is ready shelled for
feeding or grinding. The farmers east
OF the village have been busy for week
securing their corn crop in this way.
o. o. Sherrod, aged 80 years, living
west of town, was the victim of fatal
accident last week. He had taken his
horse to pasture as usual, when the an
imal, upon being released, suddenly
turned upon him, kicking viciously,
breaking his nose and otherwise disfig-
uring his face and causing injuries
which, on Thursday last, resulted in
death. He leaves wife and four small
children. His father and brother came
from Minnesota in season for the
funeral which was from the house, at
IL a. m. last Sunday.
The necessity of watchfulness in set
ting bonfires was well illustrated last
Friday, when +. Il. Annable ran some
risk of having his household property
disposed of without the need of an auc-
ton. boy in charge of the fires care
lessly left them, and while the family
were at dinner it was discovered that
the fire, running along in the leaves,
had reached the walk. In another mo.
ment it had leaped it and was advanc-
ing so rapidly toward the barn that it
required the combined exertions of six
people to extinguish the flames.
Little Mabel Andrews, grand -daugh-
ter of n. Nj. Pugsley, met with sad
accident on Friday last. 1t was to have
been a gala day, for, by dint of hard
study and regular attendance at school,
Mabel was among the favored few ex-
cused from the regular monthly exam
and the happy little maiden
was so anxious to begin the days fun
that she sought to save time by leaping
a low picket fence, when suddenly her
foot caught and she was precipitated TO
the ground, dislocating the left elbow
and fracturing the corOnoid process.
DR.. Dunning, who was summoned, pro-
nounces it very serious injury.
n. Atwell, one of the NoRTHERNER's
faithful subscribers, the other day
brought in an old, time stained copy of
that paper, a perusal of which vividly
recalled the stirring days of the war
1t contained an account of the loss of
the steamer General Washington, off
Charleston harbor, April 11th, '63, and
the repulse of the land force Also an
article regarding a certain Democratic
known as the Knights of
the Golden Circle, whose second degree
oath concluded as follows: Il further
promise and swear that | will do all in
my power against the present Yankee
Abolition disunion Administration; so
help me God"

daughter Miss Oracle, arrived home last
week from an extended trip through
Kansas. They visited the homes of
Lewis Ward and Milford Matthews at
Fort Scott, and G.. f. Gallgan and Carl
ton Russell at FL Dorado. Mr.. Galligan

Df all kinds, together with an abund-
lnce of fruit At Nemeha county they
found nephew of Mr.. G. engaged in
caring for a large herd of cattle, and
everywhere they visited found such
evidences of prosperity rs makes them
declare that our old friend Chas. +. has
not ''spread it on" as much as some are
inclined to think.
About thirty young people assembled
ut the home of Miss Verne VanFossen
On Saturday evening, To commemorate
he Old-time observances of Hallow-
zen. Various attempts were made to
push aside the veil of futurity and dis
cover whether it was pretty maid,
widow, or no help-meet at all, that the
coming year would bring to the young
gentlemen present, while the smiling
are sure that the signs were
all in their favor. Refreshments were
served, and in certain piece of cake
ring was concealed, which was an un-
token to the lucky possessor
that the hymeneal torch was already
kindled for him. If we should tell who
drew it, we fear Frank might object, so
we reluctantly refrain.
October Goth was the tenth wedding
of Mr. and Mrs. Henry w.
Harvey, of Allegan, and on that even
