EMBARKlNG IN THE ICE BUSINESS.

 T. c. Black, the popular miller, is run- ming his grist mill at it's full capacity. He has been busy all winter, and very often has run his mill evenings. MT Black handles tons of feed stutfs, and his pat rons find him good man to deal with.
 HIM. Bolles will soon erect fine mon- ument over the grave of Seeley Durgy at Sherman. In the same town he will also erect monuments in memory of Mrs Wan ger and Mrs Rowland. In South Britain he will erect monument over the grave of Mir Winship.
 We received pleasant, but short call from Brother Smith of THE BEE, last Friday. Like the insect from which his paper takes it's name, he stays not much longer in nyapiace than ''honey'' can be found, but seems continually on the move. Seeing a dozen men if possible in as many minutes, a.hustling for money" busrling in business, buzzing still for one more ssSub. D" His energy is to be con- mended, his endurance superb, his zeal and pertinacity seems almost tireless. His harvest should be great. .s..>... ~.

 H.W. Brown was absent from his post of duty in the postoffice. three days last week, on account of severe cold.
 D. Kenney moved in stock of goods to the late Watson Cogswe1l'sI store, last. Friday, in connection with his late ap- pointment as Town agent.
 K. J. H osford and Jerome E. Grannis displayed each pleasant day last week, near Kenney & Hosfortl's office, line of buffalo skins, hardly to be seen in any other town in the state. All the skins, six or eight in number, seem to be in good state of preservation and all will undoubtedly bring high prices from those who desire to possess what isfnow so nearly extinct throughout the country. They are for sale and terms cheerfully made known to woald be purchasers. We have not seen collection like these before here ,in l5 years.
 W. $. Watson, F. J. Hosford and F. s. Brown enjoyed a trip to Hillsdale, N. Y, on Wednesday and Thursday of last week. TT .iTs1
 Rev MT Evans delivered to us at the Village church. last Sunday morning, another of, his most interesting sermons upon Peter. He maintained that the church is not the place to find perfection but rather it is a refuge and q help for those imperfect; that we. are all more or less creatures of impulse and liable. like Peter, to go astr ay, and taking the Savi-s our,s message after Resurrection as his text, he thinks there is great hope for man q Peter in the world to-day. Rev MT Evans has seemed to. very much im-| prove in sermonizing each month since he came last June to reside permanently withsns and we hope his stay may be long and satisfactory. ss',s. s.s.. ss Mrs ". e. Grannjss returned here last Saturday from visit of three weeks in New York City.
