The recent cold snap unquestiensbly
cooked all the small fruit, and it is
thought pretty much all the apples, and
most persons think the wheat is greatly
damaged. 1t certainly looks bad but it
is to be hoped it will come ont o. X.

DR.. WillIamson's funeral on last Thurs
day, vas very largely attended, and
many persons could not get In the church
50 great was the number regardless OF
the fact of it's being very inclement
day
We haye a bicycle repository in our
town where one can get bicycle for
so much per hour, and all, or most all OF
tho young men have got the bicycle
mania, consequently the repository 10
doing thriving business. So great was
tho business on last Saturday night the
authorities had to put stop to it for
fear of causing ssrious accidents by
soaring horses or running over some
one. All day Sunday the streets were
full of bicycle riders, regardless of the
fact that Divine worship was being
held in most all the churches.
We mentioned in these dispatches some
time since one DR.. Seymour who had
come in our midst and claimed to cure
most everything III the shape OF disease
that the hu man family was heir to. We
doubted his doing so at the time, and
still doubt to certain extent, put we
did not do so for the purpose of doing
him an injustice, on the contrary would
have been glad if he could have cured all
persons afflicted. We wish just here to
say, that the DR.. has removed successfully
a cancer, and, whilst he did not attend a
case of Group, pronounced hopeless, his
ideas were adopted, and the child is still
living with great hopes of recovery.

proportion.
We have IN our town a small faction of
what is known as poor arstocracy, VII o
every once in while secure the latest
fad iu fashion. This class makes it a
speciality to wait until the church is well
filled aud the service we'll begun, when it
presents itself for admission, and being
admitted it walks to the most conspicuous
seat obtainable and sits down ostensibly
for the purpose of attending Divine wor-
ship, but really for the sole purpose of
showing the congregation the latest styles
of fashion, and that we have them. We
think it disgusting, aud what we think
is concurred in by many others. If they
could see themselves as others see them
they might profit by it.
The members of the NJ. Z. church are
