known and successful teacher from this
county will graduate from the State

Our correspondent from Wyalusing
some time ago asked that all the
schools of that town make some prep
aration to unite in the coming Mem
orial Day observance. He suggests
very good thing for the schools in that
town or any other. The schools will
all be the better for taking an active
part in the program of the Day, and
boys and girls will make better citi-
zens when they are induced to take
part in public exercises. Let songs,
short patriotic speeches, just a few
lines each, but lots of them, well COM
mitted, and dilivered with fire and
yigor, be made part of the program
and everybody will vote the exercises
a success.
Herman Stocked, of Vinegar Hill
near Galena, is now in the GaIeLa jail
on charge of forgery. He forged the
name of his father and an uncle to
notes to the value of four or five thou
sand dollars which, when they became
known, were promptly paid by the
father The other day new forgery
came to light and so shocked the father
that he died in a short time Of grief.
The Stocked family has always been
noted for its thrift and the undoubted
honesty of its members, and the father
had given young Herman a good farm
and start in life. Why he should
forge notes to raise money or what he
did with it after he got it, is mystery.
The father lived near Cuba City in this
county at the time of his death.
There was an election in the staid old
town of Haverhill, Massachusetts on
the 1st of May and the temperance ele-

counted and the new officers installed
saloons at $4,000 license each were
snapped up till there was one for every
1000 Inhabitants. But the temperance
people hustled too and took out
license and will open palatial saloon
where the finest drinks can be had at a
nickel a drink and plain whiskeys at
3 cents, beer cents, and ponies l cent
each. They propose to make the other
fellows hustle to get that $4,000 license
even if they must hustle themselves.
There are still two weeks of first
class evergreen planting weather, and
thousands of the finest eyergreens at
Anton Schmidtt's, that yon ever saw.
Now your corn is in just try 50
Of them. They are very large and
