Jamea Walsh has closed his meat market in this village and accepted a situation "in Chicago. We understand onr merchants have decided to again close their stores at 8 o'clock, on and after October 1. This is a just and wise move. (ieo. Owen's splendid yonng staiiion, "(Aeorge O.," again distinguished him­ self at Barlington last week, making a mile in 2:86 without crowding. H. L. Rounds caught three pickerel, one pike, five bass and twenty-three large perch in three hoars' fishing at Pistakee Bay on Wednesdaj'. W. R. Smith has been np north hont- ing and remembered ye editor with a liberal supply of venison. He reports killing three deer and having a good time generally. Jos.

He is now about three weeks old and is a model in every respect. Mr. Nichols was offered $150 for him on Tuesday last, which he refused. While a representative of The Plain- dealer was at the farm of Sim Russell, near Volo, last week, he was shown an eight mouths old bull that weighed 800 pounds, and one seven months old that weighed 680 pounds. Mr. Russell has one of the finest herds of short horns to be found in this section. The Wheeier young folks have met with a great loss. The old family horse, denominated as Josie Wheeler's horse, died quite suddenly at the age of twenty- three years. Scarcely a juvenile in town that has ever visited the Wheeler home but has enjoyed a ride on old Flora's back. Such pets become So closely identified with families as to become to the owners almost like one of tbe children. "An editor died and slowly wended his way down to where he supposed a warm reception awaited him. The devil met him and said: 'For many years thou hast borne the blame of the bad spelling that the printer has gotten off in yot\r paper, the paper has gone on for $1.50; also the $1.50 has often failed to come in. Thy printer has bedeviled thee for wages Saturday night when thou hadst not a darned farthing to thy name. Men have taken thy paper with­ out paying for it and then cussed thee for not getting up a better paper. All these things thou haBt borne in silence. Thou canst not come in here.' And he fired him. As he did so he murmured to himself: 'Heaven's his home, and besides, if we let him in here he would have been dunning his delinquent sub­ scribers and thereby creating discord."'
