Pharmacy, where an elegant stock of
the latest styles is on exhibition. We
note, too, that prices are much lower
than for years past.
Ladies whose judgment is worthy of
consideration inform us that no finer
stock of spring goods was ever shown
in Paw Paw than that now on sale ut
Sellick's. Especially is this true in
wraps (capes being most worm and
dress goods, while all the other depart
ments are full to repletion. See their

A heavy snow storm, accompanied
by rapid fall in the temperature, set

Some miserable, impecunions cuss
pried open a rear window of the
NORTHERNER office last Friday night
and paid himself for the trouble by
taking twelve dollars from the cash
drawer of the open safe. This, with
smashing a feed board on one of the
job presses, seemed to satisfy the
nocturnal visitor and he took his
departure. 81 year, with the Inter
Ocean given away.

On arriving home from his office
Tuesday evening, Mr.. David l.. Dillon
was much surprised to find over score
of his young friends had taken entire
possession of his home. After pleas
ant chat between the genial young man
and his surprisers, tables were got in
readiness, and progressive pedro" was
enjoyed till 100, when very dainty re-
freshments were served. Mr.. James
Downey and Miss Mamie Dillon won
the most games. Noticeable among
the guests were Misses Anna and Kath-
crime Dillon of Waverly, Mrs. Mae
Mowrey of Chicago, Ills, Mr.. and Mrs.
w. Dorgan, Misses Kittie Fitch, Anna

The NORTHERNER made an attempt
| Wednesday afternoon TO learn some
thing-anything-o the damage to fruit
in this locality by the recent cold snap.
We met in half-hours ramble six or
seven fruit growers, and on coming
back to the Office to write up the result
of our researches we had just that num-
Der of "opinions" (no two of which
agreed in any particularly to draw on
for the statement that it has been call
fired" cold and (barely possible) that
some slight damage may have been
done to cherries. Mr.. X. Morrill,,
widely known fruit grower of Benton
Harbor, is quoted as denying that fruit
in his locality is injured. He says there
will be full crop of peaches, apples,
cherries, pears and small fruits. Grapes
of course were not advanced enough TO
be hurt. Apricots were killed.
On public street in South Haven a
few nights since, at an early hour in the
evening, young man named Emanuel
Schoenberg, son of the the pastor of the
German Lutheran church of that village,
while accompanied by two ladies, was
set upon by three rough looking men
and his purse and revolver taken from
him. In the course OF the struggle the
revolver was discharged and the bullet
penetrated the left lung of young
Schoenberg and lodged in the back. 1t
Is feared his injuries May prove fatal.
Nothing should be left undone that can
be properly done, and no reasonable
exnense should be spared i'm bringing
