We regret that several interesting COM
mu lications, one especially, from Maurer-
town, reached us too late for this issue,
They will appear next week. We must
again caution our friends against sending
as bits of neighbOrhOOd news that can
not be of interest to anyone; such for in-
stance as few hours visit from person
to neighbOr who may reside but few
hundred yards distant.
Go bury the croaker out in the woods
in a beautiful hole In the ground, where
the humble bee BUNDLES, the wOOdpecker
pecks, and big bugs straddle around. He's
no good to the city Of push, too unprac-
tioal, stingy and dead. but be wants the
whole earth and all of the crust, and the
stars that shipe over his head. Then hustle
him off to the place of the dead, and bury
him deep in the ground; he's no use to us
here, get him out of the way, and make
room for the man that is sound.
Much complaint was heard about cows,
sheep and stock generally being allowed
to run at large in the streets and alleys
Of the corporation, many persons claim
ng to have been damaged by the break

wandering stock. The corporation laws

and the chief OF Police has gwen notice
that the law " ould be rigidly enforced in
every case.

Charlie Fogles iron and.woed working
shops where he will find a number OF
hands al at work doing their best to
knock out the hard times and add to the
wealth of labor. If many others would
do likewise instead of standing around
with their hands In their pockets and
c-oakins about hard times, things would
soon wear a very different and more cheer
fol aspect. "Go to Fogle's shops, thou
sluggard, consider their ways and be
wise"
The farmers above town are all, IS fal
as we have heard, blowing up their clover
fields and will put them in corn, as the
grass in all dead or dying. Some think
that the late freeze killed the grass, but
persons, Tho made an examination, say
that around the roots of the plants mum
hers of worms are found. The worm
resembles the ordinary green cabbage
worm, except it is smaller, Dozens Of
them are found around nearly every plant
and doubtless they are working the de-
struction. -NoortftM Examiner.

The opening of the regular base bal
season and the reports of the daily game
between the big clubs, has developed thu
fever to a high degree among the crank

themselves from walking down the rail
