He found it on the inside of a hen's egg, next to the yolk. It Is about eight inches long, and has the appearance of a small snake or worm without any skin. Now the question Is, what is It and hew came it inside that egg? We believe JUr. Hebard has preserved It in alcohol. THE boys picked up a Nine and went to Woodstock on Friday last and played a game of ball with the Club of that city, the result being a score of 23 to 22 in favor ot Woodstock, The boys here have not played a game be­ fore this season, and the wonder is that they played as well as they did We have the materiil here for a good club, but they need practice.

THE War Concert, at the Universal- ist Church, on Friday and Saturday evenings last, was not as well attended as it should have been, but all who did attend speak in the highest terms of praise of the entertainment. THO re­ ceipts of the two evenings was only about 935, but should have been twice that. We presume the extreme warm weather kept many away who other­ wise would have attended. BOOMS never strike a sleepy town. They nsver slip into a town like a thief in the night to despoil It. They n«ver drop out of the sky like rain, all ready to be utilized. A boom is noth­ ing more or less than a tremendous revival of business, which invariably succeeds the persistent effort of ener­ getic rustlers who get up early in tbe morning, who plan wisely and execute promptly and who utilize tbe resources and advantages of the town in which they live. AT this time of year, when ourotf] zens are making an effort to preserve the health and cleanliness of our vill­ age, it may not be generally known that common dust, taken from the street, is one of the best deodorizers to be found. Take a shovel full and sprinkle in your water closet, and other places around your dwellings, and note the result. It will not only remove the odor but will drive away flys from wet and bad smelling places, Try It.

If we were wealthy, we should be willing to allow this condition of affairs to continue, but, Inasmuch as we are poor and make no pretentions to great generos ity, we must respectfully and em­ phatically request, insist and demand that these ovordue subscriptions tbe paid, not in the dim future or in the uear future, BUT AT ONCE.

HAVING arrived at the threshing season, it is now aj^pportune time to summerize the pjtisiona of the law relative to traction engines; Persons in charge of any steam engine being propelled over the highways of the state, wholly or In part by steam, shall stop the engine within one hundred yards of any person or persons going opposite direction with a team or teams; also that the owner of such engine shall keep a trusty man from fifty to a hundred yards in advance of said engine to assist in controlling any stook that may be on said high­ way; also making it unlawful to blow the whistle of an engine on the high­ way. Also making it unlawful to drive * steam engine over any bridge or culvert on any highway without lay­ ing plauks not less than twelve feet long, one f«ot wide and two Inches thick, two of the planks to be kept continuously under the wheels of en­ gine while crossing said culvert or bridge. Also fixiiig a penalty of net less than ten nor more than fifty dollars for any violation of the bill and for the unlawful passing over any bridge or culvert the owner of the eugtne shall be- held responsible for all damagea to said bridge or culvert- Ex, Chicago, for the past two months, has not sustained Its reputation as a summer resort. With the thermom­ eter indicating 90 degrees In the shade for days together, it has lost what used to be one of the most cherished boasts of the oldest inhabitant, and he is forced to admit that hotter weather can not even be had in St. Louis. As a result of tbe ^ery blasts which have swept tbe city during June and July, there liasbeen an extraordinary afflux to the la^ regions of the northwest and to the breezy retreats' of tbe At­ lantic seaboard. Thousands of people who have been accustomed to paas tbe summer in Chicago have fled the city. So great has been ths demand for transportation that accommodations on lake steamers have to be secured three weeks in advance, and every out­ going train Is crowded to suffocation. The absence of so many of the wealth­ ier of the community has naturally affected the attendance at the theatres Two of the first companies in America --Daly's and tbe Madison Square--have played to very meager audiences at Hooley's and McVicker's, and at the other places of amusement with the exception of the Chicago Opera House, almost nothing has been done, At the latter house The Arabian Nights, which will enter upon its tenth week Sunday night, is still witnessed by au­ diences as large as those which gath­ ered at the initial performances of the piece. It is very evident from the experience of the present season, that ouly spectacular burlesque, and that on the most sumptuous scale, oan make money for theatrical management in Chicago during midsummer. The stay-at-home Chlcazoan when the mercury is striving to escape from tbe top of the thermometer, doesn't go to the theatre to think. > If In want of a Cook Stove call and see our Peninsular and London and Paris Ranges.

With eight or ten months of fodderlftf before us, with crops about one-third the usual yield, some plan should be started and ma tured at onoe for the economic impor­ tation of hay and feed from more fa­ vored regions, It it reported that the prairies of Minnesota and Iowa would yield an abundance of hay If the en terprise were utarted now of saving it, which oould be brought to us with profit to the enterprise aud economy to our stockmen. Why will not some man or men start the boom while yet the season for making hay is with us, and thua prevent the stock famine which seems upon us. On Mr. E, Furor's farm, about two miles south-east of Woodstock, there Is a basin or sink, which in ordinary wet seasons is filled with water cover­ ing about,five acres of land, but which is now dry. Mr, F, proposes to take advantage of the drought by drawing from toe bed of this basin tbe accumu­ lations of years and depositing the same upon bis cultivated fields as fer­ tilizing material. Some twenty yeare or more ago we tried a like experi- meat to tbe amount of about one thousand loads, and to tbe present time the beneficial results can be traced. Farmers, try it. There Is no royalty to bs paid and you will find that Horace Greeley was correct when he said that more wealth could be ex­ tracted from our swamps and sloughs than from the mines of California, The plank crosswalks around tbe park are soon to bs replaced by as­ phalt. During the quiet of evening twilight it is refreshing to swing in the ham­ mock and listen to the "mellow, mel­ low hern" as tooted by the Spring City band. Toot away, boys, we de­ light to hear yonr music. Almost dally an engine and caboose, loaded with men, go flying by, hurry­ ing to quench some 0re started by sparks from engines.

An End to Bone Scraping- Edward Shepherd of Harrisburg, Illn says:"Having received so much bene­ fit from Electic Bitters, I feel it my duty to let snflering humanity know it. Have ha 1 a running sore en my leg for eight years; my doctors told me I would have to have the bone scraped or leg amputated. I used, instead, three bottles of Electric Bitters and seven boxes Bucklen's Arnica Salve and my leg is now sound and well." Electric Bitters are sold at fifty cents a bottle, and Buck leu's Arnica Salve at 55c. per box by Henry Call at Besley's for Paper in the market. m bart Fly If yon want to buy a Mower ebeap, call at Bishop's warehouse.
