Stepney,
 AN OLD LAND MARK DIsAP-
 PEARS.
 The old Curtiss grist mill, plaster mill, saw mill and store have been torn down and to-day not a stick stands above the stonework to mark the place where so much business has been done in former years. It was the mill for many miles around bringing great amount of trade to this place and to be so effectually destroyed, the grinding of the good old stones forever hushed, the mill gates never to close again, the dam torn away, and this to please the caprice of thirsty corporation in a distant city adds but bitterness to the great loss which the surround ing country must suffer. The farmer use the car foods, much of which is unfit for any animal. Damaged grain run through the elevators, ground and sifted so as to hide the fine stuff is responsible for the questionable con- dition of the cows of the east more than all the hereditary of sanitary cordi!iors put together.
