There Was one more visible sign Of the
approach Of spring last Monday, when
myrisds of snowfleas put In an appear
snce, almost covering the snow In part
Of the doorysrd, and In places along the
road. We have been trying to find some
history Of those little creatures for long
years, have examined Webster and wor-
cester's dictionaries, and three encyclo-
pedias, but as yet have found no men
ton Of them. As small as they are, IL Is
certain that the Author Of nature created
them; and why should the historian
deem them 90 Insignificant as TO be un-
worthy OF notice? Their appearance at
close quarters under the microscope Was
given some years ago, and need not be
repeated here.
Austin Morgan Is getting no better Of

Frustrated by being vaccinsted. Some

And now Il II said there has been no
smallpox In the state during the winter,
the scare being nothing more than the
black measles. Hope 1t Ii true, but

Herbert Emmons seems 70 be another
one Of those persons who was born under
an unlucky planet. His wife was Kate
jackson, and during the last six or eight
years has been afflicted with nervous
prostration, and much Of the time con-
fined to her bed. Five children have
been born to them, and the oldest, q boy,
WAS taken sick and finally died when
about II years old. The second child,
also boy, bruised bis shin with ham,
mer, causing q bone sore, which made
him cripple for life. Some time ago
one Of their little girls got severely
scalded, which added moro trouble to
the family. And now We bear that .
few days ago one Of them cat OF I'm
