George Lambert, who has been employed on the stone road near Enos the past year, was in town Sunday on business. He was investigating a proposition wherein he may dispose of his property here. ■The name of the other party in the deal we did not learn. We find there are a few people in the country who have traction engines who. in springtime, when the roads are breaking up, will get out onto the highway and try, seemingly, to see how much damage they can do to the roads. But if called on to repair the damage they would protest loudly. They seem to think as it is a public highway they have a right to run anything at any time over it. It would be a good thing to bring the law to! bear upon some of them and show I them who the roads belong to. On Monday morning at about daybreak our ears were greeted by the song of robin redbreast, perched in the top of a tall oak tree a short distance away, and it was the same kind he sang last spring, although it had been some time, no donbt. since he had sang it. He never seemed to miss a note and was as clear and smooth as though he had been practicing for the occasion. And on a post not far away sat a bluebird, trying to prove, too, that he hadn’t forgotten to warble. Wild duck, geese and sandhill cranes have also been heard and seen in goodly numbers, and on Tuesday we got our first thunder shower of spring. Wednesday we got another thunder shower, but no rain with it.‘ Instead a heavy shower of snow and sleet Which continued until late at night. It left from 4 to 6 inches of solidly packed snow and sleet on the ground, and traveling was very hard.
