Simon Spriggs had the misfortune to lose a valuable horre-recently, making three horses and a cow on the dead list within a jear for him. Lab.in Pick has noted on the Summers farm, lately vacated by A. Flemmings. He wll remain a year and engage in sto< 1; burmesr. Wm. Wagoner will place a saw-mill on the Nichols farm in the near future. This wiil be a good th.ng in our midst since lumber is so high. Mrs. John Lilly and mother have returned to the former's home after an absence of about three or four weeks. John gave them a hearty welcome. Robert Zick was at Rensselaer the first -of the week.
