boat-house located on the bank of the
river at the foot Of Hilands street, have
flung a large banner to the breeze on
which they have inscribed in artistic

a large one and makes up for any lack IN
membership of the club that may be
noted.

The faculty consists OF f. w. Gill, princi-

move the school to that place about the
first of June. One object of moving the
institution to the shores of Chautsuqus
Lake Is to give the 200 or more pupils a

Henry Ysrnell and a friend or two,
over in tho southern portion of Harmony
township, have been making it unpleas-
ant for the rattlesnakes already this
spring. Sunday they visited a den and
captured five of the repulsive reptiles, the
largest of which measured over five feet
in length, and the bide of this monster
can be seen at Hotel Weaver, although in
skinning 1t about eight inches of the hide
was torn and had to be cut off. We doubt
whether this record as to size will be
equslled this season.
"A dispatch to the Derrick from Titus
vile has it hat "a COW owned by Mrs.
Mary Archer, of East Troy, Crawford

be held responsible for the death of all
the cattle in Crawford county for thenext

now on there should be an abundance of
peaches, pears and June-berries. But
''jsck frost" is yet to be reckoned with,
and if we are to believe the weather
sharks the aforesaid lack" will be in
evidence all right before the month is far
waned. A few o~ver-snxious gardeners

ditions are favorable will not be much
behind hand when It comes to the eating
of the vegetables.
