Mr. William Norgate has left us for the pleasant city of Arm Arbor. Mrs. YowJer, from near Marshall, is visiting friends in this neighborhood. Mr. John Allison will soon leave this neighborhood and take up his residence in Detroit. Miss Nina Bond, of Saline, finished fall term of school in school district No. 3, Saturday, November 25. Mr. and Mrs. Gentner, from Diamonddale, (near Lar.sing,) have een visiting friends in this vicinity. This is Thanksgivmg week and a great deal ot fowl proceeding, or proceeding after fowls, is or will be going on. Corn husking is not yet a thing of the past. Some of it will be thrashed, which is the new way of doing that kind of work. Mr. T. Feigel, one of our cide men, is about through for this season. rie has ground out a good manj thousand gallons of apple juice. If the present freezing weather continúes, with no covering for the wheat it will doubtless sustainsevere ïnjury, it having no body yet to enable it to withstand such weather. VVood chopping on a small scale has begun but that busii.ess is a very small one indeed, these time, a few years ago it was a constan! source of employment during the winter. If current rumor is correct Mr. Roscoe Begole, of this township, will soon be numbered with the married people; a young lady from Belleville is said to be the bri''e in prospect. Many families will gather around the festive board who will never gather again unlessit be beyond thal river whose current flows between this world and the next. Let us hope that the present meetin may be biest, also the one beyond. [From another correspondent] Pittsh'eld democracy will celébrate Thanksgiving this vear in honor ol the president whoappointed it, if for no other reason. Several farmers have recently lost hheep killed by dogs. It would be well for the owners' sweet pets to know where they are. Four hundred and eighty-seven bushels of corn shelled is the amount threshed out by Clinton Allmendindinger, for Henry DePue, one day last week, at a very much les expense and timeconsumed than in the method so generally employed of husking. A very unique entertainment wa given Wednesuay last by the people in the Millis district assisted by the teacher, Miss E. K. Kempf. Reci tations, select readings, and singing were given in a very creditable man ner, whUe a liberal supply of vege tables, canned fruit, and pastry, sug gestive of Thanksgiving cheer contributed by the school, were pilec on the teacher's desk and platform This was to beconveyed to the com mittee of the Ladies' Benevolen Society, of Ann Arbor, who was en deavoring to provide a Thanksgiv ing dinner for those who migh otherwise go without.
