T, Eldredge, notwithstanding the open winter, is pushing the poultry business full as extensively as in former yearfe, and is paying the highest market price for turkeys, geese, ducks and chickens. Business around his poultry house presents a lively appearance. A highway robbery was reported in this village on Thursday last as having taken place near Volo, in which a woman was attacked by a man in the road and her pocket book containing |61 taken. It coming to the ears of Marshal Granger, he took the matter in hand and succeeded in tracing it to a uian who was stopping with Peter Weber on the Long farm east of this village. He could not Bpeak English, but told Mr. Weber, who is a German, that be had found a pocket book, and Mr. Weber mistrusting that all was not right, got possession of the money, and notified parties in this village, which brought out the facts. Granger went oyer and arrested him on Thursday night and delivered him to the author­ ities at Volo, bnt on investigation it was shown that be was a half-witted, cranky sort of a tramp, and he was set at liberty on condition that he leave the country, which be proceeded to do at once. After Jannary 1 those of oar sub­ scribers In this village, who are now re­ ceiving their papers by carrier, will re­ ceive them thru the post office. The reason for this change is that it takes a good deal of valuable time on the most busy day of the week for us, and as all go to the post office at least once a day it will be no inconvenience to them. We trust this will be satisfactory to all and will certainly be a great help to us. There will be an entertainment in the public school building, Friday night, December 21, consisting of music, songs, recitations, dialogues, etc. Miss Annie M. Andrus will appear before the Mc­ Henry people for the first time. The proceeds will be used toward the pur­ chase of an oil painting of the late S. D. Baldwin, to be hung in the room where he rendered feuch valuable services for the past eight yean. Our attention was called on Monday to some very fine oil paintings from the band of Earl Mead, son of H. C. Mead, which would, indeed, be a credit to an older and more experienced artist. They represent various landscape and other scenes, and to our eye, at least, seem almost perfect. Master Earl has taken but few lessons in (Minting, but seems to be a natural artist, and we predict In the future is sure to make his mark in this line.
