WALKER ITEMS.

Who is Sand Bur? is the much repeated question. The woods and marshes present quite a picturesque appearance; a large number of trees were broken down by the heavy weight of sleet upon ‘them. The noise made by the falling timber caused a stampede among some cattle. There was a “grand jubilee” at Will Heidaman’s residence, over the arrival of a young daughter. Beer flowed copiously. - Married: Jan 15th, at the residence of Mr. Jesse Wilcox, Mr. Thomas Markins and Miss Ella Knight, the Rev. Falkner officiating. Tom is happy now; after being a long time in pursuit, he is finally (after sailing through a sea of troubles) in possession. Our best wishes attend the happy couple through life. Rumor hath it, there will soon be another wedding in our Tp. The girls think F. M. Hersh.paan has the “Daisy” sleigh, because when in it, they can see a great distance over the surrounding country. The German citizens of the west part of our township are erecting a church, which, when finished, will be quite a neat looking building, they [the citizens] are wide awake and mean business. Mr. Joseph Tanner’s family are recovering from the measles. Literary, at the Hershman School House, is in good running order and well attended. Supt. Nowels visited our schools last week.
