School opened again on Monday with about the usual attendance. The thermometer registered 13 degrees below zero at this place last Tuesday morning, which was far the coldest it has been this winter here. It froze up many pumps and reached into sorae cellars. The ice-houses are being filled with fine ice, about ten inchesthick, from Pierce's lake. A lodge of lady Maccabees s being organized in this village. Rev. L. P. Davis, of Ann Arbor, was here on Wednesday. Rev. B. I. Ives, of Auburn, New York, visited his brother, S. G. Ives, of this village, this week. Quite a number from town went out to Wilber Kempf's, four miles south of town, last Tuesday night, to a church social. Trade has been good this week, though the arrivals of wheat have been small. Wheat now brings 67c for red, and 66c for white; oats, 34c; rye, 50c; barley,$i. 15; beans, $1.35; clover seed, 6.50 to $7; dressed hogs, $8.50: chickens, 7c; ggs, 23c, butter, 23c. The stove factory is having a tubular well put down to supply their engine with water. The general health of the people in this vicinity is better than for many years at this season. Steady cold weather is probably the cause of it.
