The pastors of the several churches
In Paw Paw are again reminded that
the columns of The NORTHERNER are
free to them for the announcement of
their services. Not only are the mem
bers of the different church organiza
tions interested as to the nature of the
services for the coming Sunday, but
there may be strangers within our
gates" who will spend the day with us.
and such announcements might have
weight in their decision Uhere to spend
it.
Our old friend and former fellow
townsman j. G.. McLain writes us from
Bloomington, 5. d., enclosing 81 to re-
new his subscription to ''your blasted
old paper, which reaches us every Mon
day and is anxiously waited for" He
reports steady winter, with no bliZ-
yards but plenty of snow, and says that
seeding has already commenced there
He will SOW but 40 acres to wheat, as
prices are too low. The "$l wheat"
promised if Cleveland was elected has
never materialized, bat he has the grim
satisfaction of knowing that those who
voted the Democratic ticket in '92 are
getting enough of it and suffering
equally with the rest.
A very pleasant affair occurred last
Friday evening at St. Mary's rectory, it
being a surprise reception prepared in
honor of the fourth anniversary of the
ordination to the priesthood of Rev
Fr. ID. Mulcahy. In addition to a
large number of his own parishiOners,
many guests from abroad were present,
noticeable among whom was Rev. Fr.
mclaughlin of Niles. An hour or
more was spent in social chat, music,
recitation, etc, followed by delight
fully dainty repast furnished by the
ladies of the church. A feature of the
evening was the presentation to FIR.
Mulcahy of liberal purse of gold by
his admiring congregation.
The r. & S. H. r. r. run a special
train to Lawton Monday evening to
accommodate party of twenty-five or
thirty people who were desirous OF see
ing Miss Julia Marlowe, who appeared
i'm the Hunchback at the Beckwith

The wind was on high old frOlic last
Saturday night. And it was IA search
ing understanding for any and every
thing with two ends to it, and proceeded
to "change ends" with all such and
leave it in the most delightful state
of confusion Especially were these
pleasantries noticeable around lumber
yards, mill yards, and such places where
tempting material is left for the festive
March breezes. Nor did they confine
their antics to the boyish pastime of
overturning boards and shingles. They
sought for foemen worthy of their
stell and pounced down upon the round
house of the r. & s. H. X. r., and set
that structure in about the same angle
to terra firma as the average dude now
wears his hat. Fortunately but one
engine was in the house at the time, and
only its lighter parts were injured. 1t
next paid its addresses to the oil house
of Standard Oil Co.. shifting that struc-
ture some six or eight feet to leeward
and twisting it considerably out of shape.
Shade trees were stripped of their
smaller limbs. hen houses and other
light outbuidings overturned, and
general March jubilee INDUCED in.
