Green wood.

The rain last night, although not very
heavy, was wanted, since 1t was getting
dry. And the slight frost spoken of
last week was so heavy in some places
as to do considerable damage, especially
in gardens where it killed everything
that was killable. Thus it seems we
had a frost every month through the
summer and may possibly through au-
tumu.
Our Sunday company consisted of
only ten persons and on Monday three
more, Mrs. A. S. Brooks accompanied
by her little daughter and the widow
Cobb.
When Mr.. Whitman and his bride
were returning from their wedding his
horse became refractory, partially up
setting the carriage and threw out both
of the occupants. Fortunately no seri-
Gus injury resulted, although the brides
ankle was slightly sprained.
The little book mentioned several
weeks ago was sent for by Miss Florence
E. Bryant of Hinsdale, Mass. She was
very pleased with the present, probably
more so since it contained the name OF
her father, G. Bryant, on fiy leaf.
While on our weekly outing recently
an uncle came here on visit, and when
the hour for retiring arrived he was
directed into our sleeping room. Soon
he called his niece and Informed her
that there was a peculiar Odor near by
which was rather offensive to his Olfac-
tory nerves. Searching about few
moments she found hop pillow, on
removing which the trouble ended at
once. Now we admire the perfume of
hops and that accounts for there being
one where it was found. That reminds
US of what Josh Billings once said, that
"There is as much difference in folks as
there is in anybody"
And now the corn canning season ia
on again and Miss Cora Morgan is among
the huskers, while Daniel Bryant has q
job in the yard.
