From Wheatfield.

Bird Tilton is quite sick with scarletina. Mrs. S. J. Bentley is visiting friends in Duimvifie. Mr. Phelps is spending a few days with friends in Lowell. Judging from the way the farmers are hauling hay they will succeed in getting their old crop all marketed before the new one comes. Died. -At ids home in Wheatfield, April 29th, Mr. Charles Me Cue, aged 32 years. The deceased moved here a year ago last September, and engaged in work as a section hand, and with a very few exceptions, caused by sickness in his family, he was ever at his post Of duty. Timmgh heat and cold rain and shine, he worked uncomplainingly until this spring the gripp got hold of him, after which he went to work before he was able, and after working on Saturday, the 26th, all day in the rain, he was taken with a fearful headache and on Monday his sufferings were terrible, in which state he lingered until, Tuesday evening, death mercifully relieved him. We extend our sympathy to his young widow and three small children. -T rr _ Anon,
