The new nippers will be placed on the unfortunate man when the present ones are filed off. —Hartford City News. While plowing on his farm at Dollar Lake, just across the Grant county line, Isaiah Michael turned up three monster teeth the nipple-like grinding surface of which would indicate they were those of the extinct mastodon. One of these teeth is on exhibition at the Bank saloon. It weighs three pounds and ten ounces and the ivory is so hard that a file makes but little impression on it. The teeth were found on two sides of the lake, where they had lain since some prehistoric time when the mastodon were mired in the morass which antedated the lake or were overtaken by some cataclysm attending the geological changes in the earth’s surface —Hartford City News.

However, Mr. Hanna has succeeded in securing consent to the installation of screens, and the postoffice is taking on a real summery appearance. —Journal-Gazette.
