Good sleighing continues. W. E. Stevenson's man took 30 bags of wheat over the hills to Chelsea, and could have taken 10 more at the same load. 

The lyceum still continues interesting. The young members are coming to the front in fine shape. It is more profitable to deal with live issues than dead men. 

Wanted a partner to put in five acres of onions and celery in the spring on marsh land already plowed and drained thoroughly or will lease the same for one or more crops.

The auction sale of the ladies at Grange Hall on Wednesday evening was attended with considerable enthusiasm, all being anxious to get their best girl. It resulted in over $800 profit to the hall. 

Mr. George Kiser and Burr Ward have tackled the timber between here and Chelsea. When they have it al cut you will be able to see quite into town. 

On account of falling from a load of hay your scribe can do little except write for newspapers and hardly that, on account of a sprained wrist and nearly a broken neck. The fall was very pleasant but the stopping so quick was a stunner.

If she insists on sitting on his lap, resting her head on his shoulder, passers by cannot help thinking connubial bliss near at hand. Better put down the window shades next time.

The fellow that helped himself to oats and blankets at A. A. Wood's two weeks ago, called again last Sunday evening, bringing back the robes and offering to settle for the grain, but a warrant had been issues for his arrest at Ypsilanti, and he may think himself a very lucky dog if he is not already in the stern clutch of the law.

Can a Man Swallow a Cannon-Ball?

———

Well, "that depends." He can if his throat is large enough and the cannon-ball not too large. The question really seems worthy of some consideration in view of the size of some of the pills that are prescribed for suffering humanity. Why not throw them "to the dogs," and take Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets? Small, sugar-coated, purely vegetable, perfectly harmless, in glass, and always fresh.
