to Sell on SUNDAY.

Last Monday morning Mayor
Tripp served notice on H.W. Stefens
of the City Restaurant, and Capt. J.
G. Cassaretto, the fruit dealer, that
they must not sell cider or other soft
drinks On Sunday. The order, so far
as we can ascertain, grew out of a
complaint that hard cider had been
sold. 49, ~

A Remarkable Occurance

A remark able indication OF the ex-
traordinary mild winter we have been
having this year was brought to our
notice one day last week when our
attention was called to q brood of
newly hatched chickens at the home
of Grandpa Geo. Doeden. The hen
stole her nest under the back porch
of his house, and he was greatly sur.
prised when one day the first of the
week Mrs. Biddy proudly brought
forth her newly hatched brood. This
may appear to many like heavy
draft on the imagination, hut the
chickens are there. Go and see them
ye doubling ones.
Another evidence of our mild winter
was related last Saturday by G. r.
Taylor, Of Reading, who, when coming
to town that morning, was certain he
saw a meadow lark at the roadside.
For this we have only Mr.. Taylor's
word, but he is a man Of truth and
veracity and we do not doubt his sim
cereity. ..@. {.
