Curry VS.. the Charles Warner Co. that, ft
the past two weeks engaged the attentio
of the Supreme Court. The basis of th
case was a breach of contract in the us

The crop of d. DIS. is unusually larg
this year. At almost every commencement
reported, there is goodly batch of title
distributed. President Cleveland respect
fully declined the honorary title L. L. D
rendered him by we'll known colore'
institution. He evidently has not tn
American weakness for titles so prevalent

Ladies' wants are said to be innumer.
able but the most longing desire that q
fair daughter of Middletown now has, i:
for hitching post,a brand new, attractive
and drawing hitching post. Strange fancy
Not at all A neighbor has had one put up
recently and more fine teams have
been tied up to it than in weeks before. OF
course it is all the new post, hence the in
creased desire for them. See!
1t is amusing to catch the little sem
tences that are dropped in passing along
the streets. 1t appears that young lady
on-but it doesn't matter where she
lives. She takes delight in playing the
piano on these warm afternoons when her
neighbor who had company to late hour
the evening before, wants to sleep. If they
could only get together on the hours of
callers and of practice, but it is the 'if'
that stands in the way.

morrow morning at 1890 o'clock. Preach
ing by the rector, Rev. w. J. Wilkie. 1t is
the occasion of the annual meeting there,
according to the custom which has been
observed ever since regular services in this
ancient church were suspended. These
annual meetings are attended by people of
all churches, many coming for miles to
again worship in the sacred place where
their fathers worshiped, for st. Anne's
dates its earliest record as far back as 17O5,
and is the Oldest religious society in this
community. The services tomorrow will
be no less interesting than on former occa-
sions, and the members and friends of the
parish are very cordially invited to be
present.
Mr.. Alonza Whittock, near Odessa, is
according to the Times a model
farmer tilling model farm. His wheat
field of 20 acres will yield an average of 25
or 80 bushels to the acre, while his corn is
the most luxuriant seen on the road from
Smyrna to Odessa. The Smyrna Times
says: Mr.. Whittock's chief pride, however
is his herd of cattle-nineteen COWS of fire
blooded stock. He sells his milk to the
Odessa creamery. Eight of these cows are
now averaging forty pounds or sixteen
quarts per day. The average of this high
grade stock is shown by his return from
the creamery, which figures about $1OO per
month. His cows are of the Holstein
strain. A field of twenty acres pastures
these cows and eight horses, in which they
roam at pleasure, with clover up to their
knees.
An eligible gentleman spoke to a
TRANSCRIPT representative recently about
supplying him with wife. The TRAN
scEIPT can do it. A little "ad" will bring
the answer. The gentleman is consider
ing conditions, requirements, qualifca-
tions, etc., and the ''ceming woman" may
hold herself in readiness. Having fixed"
the first applicant we shall have at our
disposal "the catch of the town. or that
it what he said himself few days ago. He
has good business; is not handsome but
is agreeable which is far better; is appar-
emily frank and out-spoken but is really
reserved and sly in his movements. Heis
not right young but not old enough to be
on the bargain counter" He is really con-
templating matrimony. is the the "catch of
the town." and the lady who goes away
for the summer may miss it.
