 The likelyhood of band concerts Sunday evenings in Hyde park by the Italian band seems remote. The members of the band as a body would like very much to entertain the towns people, it is said, but in view that the contract of Prof. Parisi has just expired, and as it would be some time before a new professor can come here and take things into his control, the chances of concerts are not good.
 It is pretty generally known that farmers hereabout have been and are being confronted with difficulty in hay. Help is decidedly scarce and in many instances can not be hired for unusual offers in pay. The continued rainy season has inter- tered to a wide extent.
