ITEMS CLIPPED FROM PLAINDEALER OF TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO. Jas. B. Perry has sold his property at Pistakee Bay to a Chicago party. Consideration $450. The youngest child of Hon. F. K. Granger was quite sick last week, but is now reported better. We learn that a child of Fred Block was dangerously sick on Monday last, but is now reported better.

Appropos of the weather, it is in structive to know that there are about 7,000,000 pores in the human body, and that each pore is a quarter of an inch deep. If the pores were hitched to­ gether in one string they would reach a distance of twenty-eight miles. When you remember that twenty-eight miles of drainage is bringing its sewage to the surface of the body, the necessity for frequent baths this weather can be appreciated. The steamer "Mary Griswold," Wal­ ter Hill, captain, made an excursion from this place to the lotus beds on Sunday last and it proved to be the excursion of the season.
