Easter morning, here, dawned
mild and clear, but grew cooler
toward noon, and at o'clock quite
athunder storm occurred. Owing

had communion in the moruing.
and &t the same hour, a special
Easter service was held in tie
Reformed church which was nice
ly decorated with flowers, and
the exercises were particiI a ed
in by a large number of children
who performed their par with
much credit to themselves. The
service was in charge of Mr.. John
a. Irwin, superintendent of the
Sunday school.
la the evening special services
Were held IN the Lutheran and
the Presbyterian church, both of
which were beautifully decorated
and the exercises very interest
ing.
Regular services were held in

Tricks of Trade.

Whatever may be said about the
merchant watering his coal oil,
sanding his sugar, or loading his
scales, it is equally true that he
deals with Gust )mers that can see
him and go one better every time.
1t was Sol Cooper who used to
fool the Hancock merchants. Sol
was one of those travelling sales.
men who made periodical trips
about througout the lower end of
the county, supplying the good
danes with pins, needles, but.
tons, thread, &c, and when mon.
ey was "a little scarce, he would
take in exchange for his goods,
rabbit skins, dried fruit, rags,
corn, or hay. AS he might be
seen trudging away from a far
mer's home, the load of "trade"
on his back was often much larg-
er than the pack in which he car
ried his wares.
1t was remarked to him, one
day, that some of the skins We're
so small that he couldn t sell them
With a chuckle, Sol said, 81
know how to manage that. When
| sell them at Hancock, | slip u
small skin into a larger one and
the merchant never knows he
gets it,"
Some time ago one of George
Hays's customers brought him,
some dried apples. George
weighed them and paid for them.
A few days afterwards he had oc-
casion to pack them, and found
that he had bought four-pound
iron wedge hidden in the "snits'
when they were sold.
If the wedge had not had the
point broken off, Mr.. Hays might
have "come out" on it.
Not long ago nice looking rol
of butter was sold to one of oul
town merchants. When it was
examined the inside was made VI
of two or three chunks of coarse
salt as big as your fist. Another
roll of "butter" was composed o
old soap fat, with a thin veneer
ing of triple-x nicely colored but
ter.
In "rags" the merchants fine
old shoes, rubbers, plow points
and odds and ends that woult
make a first class museum.
Hence, merchants, too, have
troubles of their own.

Buck Valley.

EDITOR News Thinking few
items from the lower end may be
of some interest to your readers,
| send the following:
Now that we have our heads
above the snow drifts and mud,
the spirit of improvement is man
ifesting itself. The dwelling and
store house here have just under
gone u complete overhauling with
new dress on entire outside, be.
sides needed inside repairs, max
ing the whole thing look like a
new building. We are glad to see
this evidence of thrift in Frank
Scriever and son Cecil, both high
toned gentlemen.
But the greatest draw back to
the fullest development of our
valley as an agricultural commu-
ity, is the craze of recent years
among our mechanics and labor
ers to go off to the mines and pub
lie works where higher wages is
obtainable, leaving it difficult, in
many cases, for the farmer to
procure the necessary labor to
run his farm successfully. This
/ increased demand for, and scare
ity of Young men, and higher
| priced labor, with an ever in
creasing taxation, is bringing the
farmer down, in many ca1es to
the verge of bankruptcy. After
the return Of our last assessment,
the County Commissioners look
ed on it with mammon in their
eyes, and thought they discover
ed sevral, who could bear a little
more "bleeding" and live, and
"piled on" the assessments, in
some cases, as high as six or eight
| hundred dollars. Mr.. Commits
sioners, this may be to you like
the frog said in the fable, "You
can stand on the shore mot hav-
ing any real estate to pay tax for)
and pelt the stones down upon us,
and do the laughing"
This community, is now, and
has been for some time, agitated
on the subject of unnecessary
and uncalled for taxation in our
township. This comes from re-
Gently laid out road, and reported
to the court, which called forth a
remonstrance signed by sixty-siX
of our taxpayers praying The
court to set aside the report OF
the viewers and grant no road.
The remonstrance being irregu-
lar, was set aside and review
granted. This review petition
largely signed, has been sent in
only having ten days to get it up,
and forward it. Ia aiding in the
performance Of this duty, Mr.
John r. Richards, one Of our prin
cipal taxpayers, while circulating
the petition for review, called al
the auction of VIM. p. Lashley
and was set upon by Mr.. Lashley
with a TRADE of abuse in fish mar
ket billingsgate style. Mr., Rich
ards was not in, or on, his build
ings, but on the outside, where
they were pitching horse shoes
Like the Lrishman that the mule
kicked Mr.. Richards "quietly re
tired. "
The weather here is now beau
tiful.
All Nature is clothed in sun
shine, and old Earth is puttingol
