At the instigation of the Rev. Father Ganzer, the boys of St. Joseph’s school began to collect old stamps last week, and have been very successful, collecting 7,651. Father .Ganzer intends to form a collection of various stamps for his school and will send them to Father Andrew, the director of the Indian school at Rensselaei*, who sends them to Germany. There they are sold and the profits are devoted to poor children. Save stamps for the boys. —Kentland Democrat.

Marshall claims to have always followed a straightforward business course toward the Pilot and to have always treated his customers with fairness. But at the same time some of his subscribers have been discriminated against in favor of others. It has been his custom when a Subscriber wished to stop the Republican and take the Pilot to* offer his sheet for a dollar a year and in certain cases to furnish it free. But at the same time he was trying to impress his readers that a paper would break up which omy charged a dollar per year. Do you wish us to name some of your dollar and some of your free subscribers? We would be glad to accommodate you.

On the Hollingsworth farm north of the railroad lives a family of Danes. The young boys of the family only came over last fall and as yet have not learned our language and but little of the country. A few days ago the boys were playing in the highway and discovered a drove of polecats crossing the road. Thinking they were pigs they gathered up sticks and running in among them attempted to drive them. Immediately, as Peck’s bad boy expresses it, “there was an awful smell,” and the bo3 7 s made the air blue by repeating the only “cuss” word they had yet learned. But not to be conquered they began jumping on the cats with their heavy . boots and soon three or four dead' skunks were the result of their warfare. It is said that the peculiar Oder still clings to the young men’s clothes. Albert Shigley, who lives near Lee, was in town Monday on a search for a young lady and a horse she borrowed lately. Mary Wilson, daughter of Mose Wilson, has been in the employ of Mr. Shigley for four or five weeks, and on last Wednesday she borrowed his horse, claiming she wished to go to John Hall’s, in Union township, for a visit, and promised to be back the next day. Not returning, Shigley started out on an investigating tour Saturday. He found she had been to Hall’s and left the next day. She told Hall she would probably visit her father : near Fair Oaks be : fore returning. Her father said she had pot been there and would only venture the assertion that she would turn qp all right Vben she gqt over her spree. One circumstance whicfy rdfey have a bearing oq her absence was the disappearance at the same time of a young man in the employ of Hall. Sjlpgley went from Reqsselaer tq Gillam township yrherq intended making a further search, Piles of people have piles, but De Witt's Witch ffcixel Salve will cure them. A. F, Long & Co.
