Jan. 26 and 27, by Rev. Walter Scott. Sermon JVednesday evening on “Temperance,” There are but very few well people in Walkerton and vicinity at present. There is more sickness here now than was ever known before, and the doctors are on the go constantly. The grip is the prevailing complaint. A great m iy people -would like to see the cold weather stay, believing that it would put a stop to the grip, but medical authorities say that cold weather would have no effect in that respect. The grip bacillus will thrive on almost any kind of weather. The new firm of T. J. Reece & Co. has opened up a new set of books and T. J.

It is said to have been a grand affair. This new hotel is one of the finest along the B. & O. line, and is a monument to the enterprising spirit which is making

The town of Knox, says the Ledger, is excited over an alleged rich discovery in the pool in the barnyard of Henry Williams, a well-to-do and prosperous farmer. The pool has not been cleaned out for many years and was originally one of those basins common throughout this limestone region. Part of the discovery might well awaken the cupidity of a miser. Among these is a copper tea-kettle, which was fastened with wire and tightly sealed, on the handle a brass chain 13J feet long, while on the other end of the chain is a staple nearly a foot in length, which is supposed to have been fastened in a log or another piece of timber to float and indicate the kettle’s whereabouts. For the benefit of those who don’t seem to know there is a printing office in Walkerton, except when they want a favor of some kind, we will say that we are fitted up for doing job work, such as letter heads, envelopes, circulars, dodgers, business cards, etc., as neatly ..s they can be done any place, and our prices are the lowest. The Independent office always lias had and is now enjoying a good job patronage from our merchants, but now and then one will so far forget the interests of his town as to send away to Chicago and other places for printing. This, however, does not happen often, but when it does occur it is always noticed by a great many people who are naturally led to think that the business man who does it, is working selfishly for himself alone without any regard for the interests of the town. It makes a bad iranress’on ■ 1 ...

Aloses Hershberger has just returned from South Bend, where he has been under treatment for his eyes. He has been suffering much pain and annoyance witli his eyes for many years and for the past year has been at times so mar blind that he was hardly able to find his way alone. After some hesitancy as what best to do he went to South Bend and consulted Dr. Schafer, of that city, ami after ascertaining the high position lie holds as an oculist for miles around, ami the success he is having in the treatment of eyo and ear affections, he placed himself eration on (lie right eye wlm h war mu only a delicate but successful one, and by continued after treatment. Mr. Hershberger returns to his home with his sight nearly restored, and his general health improved to such a degree that he is much stronger in many ways than he has laen for years. In this case Dr. Schafer has proven himself master of his profession and has done for Air. Hershberger what few men of his profession would promise and he surely merits the extensive practice he controls. Air. Hershberger while at South Bend met many of his old friends he has not seen for many years and reports people from all directions and many miles away stopping at South Bend under treatment with Dr. Schafer for various affections of the eye and ears.

Not in Search of Sympathy. A few evenings since a well-dressed gentleman walked into the International and Great Nori hern passenger coach a few moments before the tr...a pulled out. His left orb was a beautiful jet black and swollen to twice its natural size. As soon as lie entered the car lie became the center of attraction. After struggling manfully with conflicting emotions for a few moments he got up ami. approaching a party of gentlemen who were eying him, said; "Gentlemen, I’ve got a pretty eye, haven't I?” “Well, yes.” answered one. "No use denying that?” "Well, hardly.” "I'll not.” I ‘l had one of the same kind about two weeks ago,” began another in a patronizing way.” ‘Tell against a bedpost in my sleep.” "I blackened mine one time chopping wood—chip flew up and struck mo.” "That reminds me.” This from a thi^L "I got one one time in a peculiar way. I was fooliug with a iriend ” "Well, gentlemen. I didn’t get mine in any of those ways,” interrupted the man with liis eye under a cloud. "No?” in chorus. “No sir. I’ll not deny it. I'll admit it. 1 got hit. She got the best of me. My wife, I moan. Don’t sympathize with me. I don’t deserve sympathy. lam a rank fool. I know she could get away with me before I married her.

"When we were engaged she could put me on her shoulder. But I’ll have my revenge. I'm going over to Houston to get dead drunk. Desperately drunk! Then I’ll go home and kick her brand new pug all over the house. That’s what i'll do. O. no! I don’t deny it. She gave me that eye but I’ll get even.” And he walked forward and resumed his seat in silence. — (Rr aon Xues. Our Children's Sleeping-Rooms. The sleeping-room of the children need not necessarily connect with the day quarters; it may be in another portion of the house entirely, and it is quit!' fitting that it should be near or in connection with the sleeping-rooms of the parents. Mmy a wise, careful mother so arranges that her children shall sleep w ithin call, during their early, ter, lev years, that she may hasten to them at a moment’s notice; that she may guide and guard them from the many subtle dangers of early life. Yet the sleeping quarters for children, as well as for adults, should always be commodious, well ventilated and in every way wholesome. Above all, there should not open from the nursery either the day or the night apartments any bathroom or other connect! m with the sewer or with cesspools or like method of disposing of i waste.

Bet bowls, with hot and cold water, are very c mvenient many times; but it is a question whether they should be introduced into any sleeping-rooms; and they certainly should not be. unless the connection and the work of the plumbers are such that under no possible circumstances can there be danger to health. The momentary convenience is poor recompense for the death orseriou-- sickness of a beloved rneniof the family. — Good Housekeeping.
