March came in decidedly lamblike,'today. With a temperatu e a little above freezing, a southwest wind, and "a cloudy but not stormy sky. It may go out like a roaring lion, but whether it does or not, depends nothing on the way it comes in. Uucle Joe Parkison left today for his home nearßuckliu Kansas, after about two weeks’ visit here; and which was about as much o f the Indiana winter climate as fie likes to take at one dose.

That it had gone down three or four inohes, during the night, was shown, by the water line on the building. Today however it baa again been rising slowly. The creamery bridge is paoked full of

ioe under and above it, but unless more wat**r brings more ioe from above, it will esaape. A big chain aable has been attiohed to it from a tree in a neighboring yard. The C. E. Hershman bardwaie and millinery store and residence, on Main street, has again ohmgt-d hands. A. R Poyer, who bought it last year, has sold it to J. F. Zariug, of Jaokson onuniy, receiving in paj ment a well improved farm of 80 aores, in Jackson county. Mr. Zaring will move here aud take oharge of the store about Maroh 15th, and Mr, Poyer will no down and take possession of the farm, at the same time In the meantime the stores will reman closed. The deal was conducted by G. F.-Meyers’ agenoy. The main channel of the river here is now so complet ly blocked with ice, that a gr. at part of the wder flows in a wide stream across Riverside addition, and i>ack into the river below Donnelly’s shop. All the houses in that addition are cut off by the water a d all their yards are submerged, as well as all their outbuildings Two of the houses are at present empty, and Mrs Morris and fam ly 1 ft by the Joe Ja kson packet iLe. and Bdi Raher is the only one est t o ho d the port.

The play was given to the entire satisfaction of the auditors. J. Q. Alter made his first trip on Rural Free Delivery Route No. 3, Tuesday, with a big delivery ofc mail, for a starter. found 60 boxes already up, ana nmny more soon will be John has an elegant wagon, made specially for rural route carriers Monticello has realized the phrase and high water, good and hard. Great ice gorges have formed there in the Tippecanoe. The electric light plant and pumping station of 4he water works are flooded, and the place is without water and lights. Houses in low places are in water half way to their roofs Boat houses are battered to pieces, fenoee, pens and telephone poles swept away, and a big bridge above town carried away.

""John Smith, son of Wm Smith, has bought W B. Peterson’s papering and painting business, “the latter binding himself not to engage in those lini s h a re again for three years John E. Bicknell, manager .pf the brick livery stab'e, has lately bought one of the houses on Austin Avenue, an i expected to move his goods here from Foresmail, today, but will wait a day or two longer for the water to get out of the front and back back yards a little better. The water in the river at Washicgt on street bridge has fallen about 25 inches from the highest point of Monday night and Tues day, It no longer flows aorosß Riverside addition, and the yards •of the iesidenoes there are again above water. The ioe gorge above the Milroy street bridge is moving out slowly, and safely unless heavy aios should ooour and bring down the ioe gorge near the stook fa.m, and then there would be more danger of trouble. One swallow does not make a summer, nor yet does a stray robin or two give us a sure oinoh on spri.Dg, but when°eigbt blue birds are seeu all in a bunch, sitting on a telephone wire and singing and having h royal good time, then we can be reasonably o irtain that spring is here for Bure. . That is ju-t the glad spectaole wbioh John Jones saw this morning, at his place on south River street. As for meadow larks they are here in droves, and the robins are coming feet, also.

THURSDAY Did we hear someone mention blue birds and robins, this morn ing? J. A. McFarland came home.last evening after a few days visit at Warsaw, Mrs. A. 0. McDonald of Chicago is here for an expended visit with her sister Mrs. W, H. Beam. March couldn’t be real good more than two days in succession, and no one ought to expect it to’be. From 50 degrees at six o’clock last night down to 20 degrees at six o’clock this morning, is the kind of gymnastic performance the weather gave us this time,

G. W Goff left for Hot Springs Ark, this morning, and will be there about a month taking the bath treatment for the rheumatism. Mrs. Goff has already been there for most of the winter. Mis. Rebecca Donnelly, whose death i t Chicago and burial at Monticello was briefly mentioned, was an early resident of Jasper county, having come here in 1856 and living here a great many years. The most of that time she livecLm Remiugton. ■The spring took a very sadden relapse back into winter, last night, with a great tumble in temperature, a high north wind, and considerable flurry of snow. Today is bright, though windy, and might bo a whole lot worse. John Murray, who has so'd his farm .southeat of town to Ed Bruce, has moved in and taken posse-sion of the place north of the depot, he bought of J. W. MoConehay. The latter has moved into Sam Yeoman’s place, in the east part of town. Rev. J. A. Cochran and family went to Fair Oaks, Tuesday morning to visit friends, and went up on the local freight, and Rev. W. E. Meads-accompanied them, to an 4 upon the train. As the train was jumping to get on the side track out of the way of the 9 55 passenger, they all got an awful bump, throwing them all around and down on the floor. So far as the male members of the party are concerned, the incident might be passed over as a new and quick way of ‘‘spreading the gospel,” but with Mrs. Cochran and the baby it was no joking matter, as they were quite severely shaken up and I bruised.

Frank Kressler went to Chioago today for a short stay. The young ladies of the I. M P. club were entertained last night at a slumber party, by Miss Lucile Marshall. Rev Cochran has returned home and regular services will be held next Sunday morning and evening at the Free Baptist church Dr. Johnson was called to MoCoysburg this morning to eeo Charley LtfLr who had been taken with a severe bleediug nt the nose and which was oftusing great alarm. ..

Delphi is talking of hitting Uncle Andy Carnegie for a library donation. The Herald intimates that $5,000 is about the limit of of the amount towns of Delphi’s size can expect from .him. They should get their nerve in action before they go after Uncle Andy Rensselaer got SIO,OOO out of the old man just as easy as finding it.
