While in Port Huron last Saturday
we met Rev. S. q. Bettes who is home
visiting his family. He said that his
wife was very sick. He will return to
Bradford, Pa, where he has been

for three months.

Grand Lecturer A. NJ. Clark was in at
tendance. John Wark, w. NJ, Joseph
Effrick Sec'y, and John Hallock, S. D.,

day.
The Jolly Boys" of Yale are pleased
over the success of their party at Mich
aels' dancing parlors last Friday eve-
ming. Thirty-five couples were present
the music was excellent and all
enjoyed themselves. Should the
"Boys" give another this winter we
predict for them larger crowd.
Another sad occurrence has happen
ed at the Hotel DeMartin in the death
of Libbie, daughter of Thos. III. Mar
tin, on Thursday evening, Feb. l6, 1893,
at the age of 10 years. The funeral
was held on Sunday from the house to
Brockway cemetery. Rev. j. II. Har-
rison preached the funeral sermon.
Girls who cannot walk half a mile
on an errand for her mother will go to
dance and stay all night. An ex-
change computes that an average
round dance takes dancer over three
quarters of mile. A girl with well
filled programme travels in an eve
ming twelve round dances. nine miles,
four other dances at half-mile each,
which is hardly big estimate, two miles
more, making grand total of eleven
miles. Half this amount of exertion
in the open air would give the girls
rosy cheeks and sound bodies.
Some people have attributed the
advance in pork and all hog meats dur
ing the past four months to the manip-
ulation of the provision spectators,
but as the matter of fact there has been
less manipulation than usual. The
real cause of the advance, rs stated
has been natural one, and has been
governed by the supply and demand.
During the past two years there has
been rapid decrease in the hog
population, if the reports of those who
have charge of the hog census is to be
credited, and to this is due the scarcity
of hogs at present.
The following item of news we clip

We presume that out in Dakota they
would call the storm that we had lin
these parts on Sunday last, a nero
nothing. But il was as much of a Da-
kota blizzard as we want to deal with.
The snow came down in sheets, the
wind howled and roared and dashed
the snow with all the fury it seemed to
be capable of. The result the next day
was quite appalling. People from the
country wer. unable for some days to
get away from homo. Snow in semc
places was piled up five feet high in the
roads. Breaking roads has since been
the order of the day. 1t brings back
to the old people the good old times
they used to have. We prefer living
nowadays as we only have such storms
occasionally. A little thaw now
would benefit the sleighing greatly as
the snow is too hard and dry to make
good running. Expect flood when
the big thaw comes.
