A big lot of bi rd cages at Starr's Ihe protected manufacturer s have more trouble with their employes about wages than any other manufacturers.—-Democratic Sen tinel. True enough your sapiency; and for the very simple reason that very few manufacturers except the protected ones can eixist in this country. YVithout a protective tarifl not one ton of steel rail-road material eould be manufactured in the United States to-day. You wilt always find a fall and complete line of Green and Roasted coffee’s at Starr’s.

Lowell News: The F. C. Dramatic company, of Rensselaer filled an engagement at Chapman’s Hall Tuesday evening. The hall was well filled, and we believe generally they gave perfect satisfaction. A few of the parts were exceptionally well filled and would have done credit to a professional company. They were accompanied by a good orchestra, and a first-class band •. , I tie latter discousring some very fine music on our streets. At the close of.the performance, a social dance was given which was participated in by quite a number of our young folks. We hope to hear them again. Buckwheat flour, and bolted corn meal at 0. C. Starr & Co’s.

Winter cholera, or some disease of a kindred nature, seems to be assuming a contagious form in the vicinity of Rensselaer. Mr. David Yeoman, and his entire family, including two hired girls have lately taken the disease. Mr. D. B. Nowels, who visited the school attended by Mr. Yeoman's children is just recovering from a severe attack, and his mother has also been afflicted in the same manner. The case of Mrs M. L. Spitler who suffered from the same disease is mentioned in another place.

A large lot of queensware just received at C. C. Starr & Co’s. r 'The following passage from the last message of Gov. Hoyt, of Wyoming, shows pretty clearly the workings of Woman’s Suffrage where, it has received a fair trial. “EJlsewhere, objectors persist in calling this honorable statute of ours ‘an experiment’. We know that it is not —that under it we have better laws, better officers, better morals and a higher social condition in general than could otherwise exist —that not one of the predicted evils, such as l loss of nativejdelicacy and disturbance of home relations, has followed in its train —that the great body of our women, and the best of them, have accepted the elective franchise as a precious boon and exercise it as a patriotic duty —in a word, that, after twelve years pf happy experience, Woman Suffrage is so thoroughly rooted and established in the minds and hearts of this people that, among them all, no voice is ever uplifted in protest fgaiaet car in question of it,” A wr k*H 1 of **U at brihrr k i

Lovely weather. The snow birds are getting the blues. New farms being improved rapidly. Our schools are all prospering finely. There are several anti-vaccina-tion men in the township. The trustee has made arrangements for Dr. Antrim to visit the schools, and vaccinate "all who wish to take that “degree”, for the sum of 25 cents each, Mrs. Shields, who accidentally vaccinated herself in the nose, nsu recovered. Most of our farmers are preparing to keep their hogs in pen next summer. This will be a great detriment financially considered. In accordance with an order by the State Legislature in 1880, and amended in 1881, all o£fr School house doors have been made to swing outward.

-- Don’t fail to try some of that Saur Kraut at C. C. Starr & Co’s. Choice pickles in bulk, at Starr’s.

Groceries cheaper than ever at Starts. ... ' • * . : -.1 • mmi Our Jordan correspondent last week, mentioned the case of a young man from that township, having been robbed of a considerable sum of money, some $l2O, by some unprincipled scoundrels in Rensselaer. The more this case is looked into, the worse it appears. There seems to have been a criminal conspiracy, the result of which was that the unsophisticated youth was first made drunk, and then enticed into a barn and deliberately fleeced. YVill not the people of Rensselaer begin to perceive that we are having something too much of this kind of business? * Our deputy prosecutor shows commendable zeal in prosecuting minor offences, would it not be well to look into these “weightier matters of the law” a little? Another lot of that Pure Sugar Syrup in 5 gallon kegs at Starr’s.
