Fr. Buyse, of Jackson, was a visitor at St. Mary's rectory on Monday. The Rev. C. Haag left here on Tuesday for his new appointment at Port Huron. The well wishes for his future success of a large circle of friends here go with hini. Peter Bohnet has moved from near here to Lansing. He will have employment in the Bennet implement factory at that place. It is not an indication of a lack t of enterprise or public spirit for a 1 person, who is able t(j have luxur' ies. to be opposed to forclog them I upon thoj not able to have them, for his own personal gain. The new ('otigregatioual cliurch will be ready to occupy next Sunday and will be formally (iedicated by Rev. J. W. Bradshaw, of Ann Arbor, on the 3 t st of this month. The markets are dull and arrivals light. Wheat 50c, rye 48c, oats 30c, barley 95c, beans Í1.30, dover seed $5, dressed pork #5, Uirkeys 6c, chickens 5c, eggs 17c, butter 15c. The blizzard of the first of the week dd considerable cïamage about 'here, hlowing down trees, fences land telegraph wires. The weatlier so far this winter has not been favorable to the wheat on the ground. If it continúes unfavorable it may improve the price of wheat some, in the spring. Nearly all the stores and shops of Ihis village close promptly now at 8 o'clock in the evening. James M. Duim, of Wisconsin, will lecture at the Baptist church on temperance as it affects business. Employment for laboring people that pays living wages is very scarce in this vicinity this winter. The ice houses have all been filled here with unusually fine ice about an foot thick. Special revival services are being continued all this week at the M. E. church except Saturday nigh. A large number of saw logs have been brought in to thesawmill here on the late run of sleighing. Are lights are being urged for this vi.lage. It is as well lighted as most of its neighbors novv. Are lights are an expensive luxury. It does not seem as if this is a time to indulge in such things when nearly every business is down to the basis of 50 cent wheat and 12 cent wool. C. E. Letts' horses were all taken sick from some unknown cause, the first of this week and one died on Tuesday. The rest may recover. Business has been very dull during the late blizzard and probably will not be very brisk till spring trade begins some time next month. There are very few amusements about here this winter. The people have not the means to patronize any luxuries.
