 May Petition for Election
 In spite Of the amount Of dis cussion heard on the streets relative to the selection Of q successor to Mayor Wade. very few persons at tended the meeting last evening.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

The last week was remarkably mild
and splendid for late October weather
and this week has been equally as
delightful.

among the ailing last week, is some
what better at this writing.
DR.. N. R. Davis, of Grantsville, was

ton.
District Game Warden Richard S.
Browning, of Oakland, was a pleasant
caller in this village last Saturday af-
ternoon.
A very interesting and successful

tity of candy, ice cream and pop,
which had been left over.
Arrangements have been made to do

nearest striking place at Montreal.
In the night they gathered about the
village of La Chine, at the upper end
of the island of Montreal, and en-
tered while the villagers were sleep
ing.
The more fortunate of their 200 vic
tins, men, women and children, were
slain in their beds. The others were
carried over the river and for days
their outcries sounded across the wa
ter. The terror was again over Can
ada.
De Nonville built his Niagara fort
and garrisoned it with one hundred
men, to be relieved in the spring. In
the winter supplies failed: The In
dams made hunting impossible. The
cold was SO intense that choppers who
could venture out for wood under the
protection of the fort were overcome.
By the middle of February sixty of
the one hundred were dead. March
took twenty more, including De Troy
es, the commander.
A Miami war party found and aid
ed the survivors. In the spring re-
Inducements and supplies came, but
in September, 1888, the post was a
bandoned. The French had not yet
conquered the arm which blocked
their way.
In 1719 Chabert Joncaire, a Fren-
Gilman who had been adopted into
the Seneca tribe and had married a
Seneca woman, was used to see if
the experiences with De Nonville
could not be forgotten. He was per-
suasive and shrewd and obtained a
half consent that the French might
build magazine or storehouse for
goods at the beginning Of the portage
around the falls.
Trading relations thus were estab-
lished and foothold was maintained
in spite of the English protests, and
in 1725, when the French Govern
ment was spending vast sums to fort
ify and hold Canada, the Marquis De
Vaudreuil began the construction of
the extensive works and buildings
known as Fort Niagara.

Poultry and Stock Lessons

Last Saturday night, Jan. 90, Mr.
Jackson, instructor of the agricul-
ture department of Stockport high
school, gave his first lesson on
poultry He discussed mostly the
diseases, feeding and housing of
chickens. and answered all questions
asked. He stated that this had
been a very disagreeable winter for
chickens. as there had not been
enough sunlight, and too much
rainy weather, which caused some
chickens to have T. B., which would
be found in different parts of the
body. Another thing he spoke of as
causing chickens to be droppy and
drowsy, and not laying, was due to
intestinal parasites or worms, which
lodged in their throats and caused
them to gap when they breathed.
He named different remedies. but
the inexpensive and most common
one was to boil one table spoon of
lye in one gallon of wheat for
three hours, for 100 chickens. Let
dry and feed chickens, not allowing
them anything alse to eat that day.
In about three hours after feeding
this, give them salts in the proper
tion of one pound of salts to five
gallons of water. He spoke of the
