REEVES ROUNDS ’EM UP.

We had thought our business men were going to be let oil after Mr. Reeves had expressed his intentions of not further pushing the Sunday observance law, but on last Thursday afternoon the very righteous Mr. Reeves swooped down upon ns, pulled just six oi our merchants on the slot machine racket and asking them to appear at once before his honor, 1'jscp Ebrite, anil whore Mr. Reeves demanded his little “easy of ?O-00 per head. Mr.-Reeves “pin inoncy” was getting low, and as New Richmond was about the only town or hamlet in the county that ho hadn’t hit, ho therefore touched us for that very little bit just to replenish his sinking fund with which to float himself. His act was a kind one to our merchants, however, as they had long wished to abandon the slot machines and had vainly endeavored by mutual consent among themselves to do so. Not a slot machine is now going in the town; ■while Mr. Reeves is happy to the extent of thirty plunks.

Agent Orb, of the Continental Insurance Co., was around this week looking after insurance. Annis Mitchel of Wingate is laying the large tile ditch for the Black, Dick and Small outlet.

It seems to be the general wish of the citizens of the town to hold no election this year, but instead apply the amount of expense which the election would incur towards street lamps for the town. The holding over of the presant incumbents of the town offices would be legal, though there could not bo an election then held until in May, 11)0.'!.

Bruce Haines was very much surprised on the last day of his school by the pupils and patrons who came in at the dinner hour with well filled baskets and spread a bountiful dinner, which was done justice to by all.

A cup of hot coffee is an unfailing barometer. if you allow a Jump of sugar to drop to the bottom of the cup and watch the air bubbles arise without disturbing the coffee. If the bubbles collect in the middle, the weather will be fine; if they adhere to the cup forming a ring, it will either rain or snow; and if the bubbles separate without assuming any fixed position, cbangable weather may bo expected. This is a cheap and palatable barometer.
