Those acquainted with the gentle man's high standard of veracity will not quoslion the truthfulness of the story. Two men residing in a back-woods pre cinct In the county referred to, were un able to arrive at a satisfactory agree niont regarding their business tranao tions, aa to the amount due one or the other, and concluded to carry the matter Into the courts. The case was instituted and net for trial before a justice of the peace whose conception of justice wns only equalled by his apparent ignorance of equity. The best of legal talent from Hit county an at was engaged by the res pective parlies and the cane was argued at lunuth, The rural Justice of the pence, having heard the testimony, ordeied the plnlntiir and diifuniiuiit to submit to lilin lliulr reHpectivo account hooks and tiok the case under sdyUemeiit. Having weighed the argument pro and con aud having very carefully examined the ac count books, the Justice tlucrend that the accounts were aipiare, that neither parly owed the other parly a cent, that they lioiitd remain good friends and further adjudged that one-half of the expenses of the suit nhotild be paid by the plain till and defendant respectively. ' Da no k a Aiikai), Last Monday was tn ideal spring day, warm with sunshine, It was Juet the kind of a day one could enjoy after the many weeks of rain, al though the winter has been very mild throughout.

A mild winter is an indication of a lute spring In which event the fruit crop would suffer. I. a wis Vom'mk or Iti'siNKss.

To manufacture tlie product ol the larm Into wares ready for the market required the lahor of several hundred people who are con sumers of the products ol the farm, theieby furnishing ameant of livelihood for'two Heptrato and distinct classes of our people.

The common belief that horses in a burning buildiiiK aro ulwuys pauio stilckiiii and rofractiiry, not rewignlzing their friends and refusing obedieuoe to tlnmii who would rescue them, is not strictly true, as is proved by ail Inoiduut ridiitnd hy a Com pun ion contributor. The governor hud a flue bluck driving to rue culled Dexter. Although strong and spirited, Defter was docile and obe dient and was pet tod aud made much uf by his miiHter. As tho governor kept no other horse, Dexter had the stable all to blitiHulf with a clean stall and a full manger. The stable was near the boo so, and In additiou to Dexter'a stall and harness room contained a large carriage room, tn out bin and a haymow over the atoll. One night, when tho family and the servants were away from borne and the governor was iu the house alone, be was awakened by an ominous crackling and a bright glare on bis chamber win dow, and before bo could collect bit sleepy wits ho was startled by a cry un like any sound ho hud ever beard. As be sprang out of bod the cry came again, uud hastening to the window he learned the can bo. The stable was all abluze, and out of the smoke and flumes Dextor was calling his iniiBter to his rescue. Pausing only to don cont and slippers, the governor rushed out. The outside door of the stublu leading into the stall whs already blocked by the Humes, and the only entrance to bo bud was through the carriage room, the harness room and a narrow entry loading punt the tint bin. These rooms were ou (Ire orerheud, aud burning wisps of hay and shingles were ruining down lu showers. Lliudod by smoko, the governor stum bled nli ng tho rouudubout way aud, roucbing the stall sooner than ho expect ed, full hoadloug tlown tho steps uguinst the excited auimuL who was vainly tugging at bis baiter. Thinking tome new duugcr threatened him, Dexter gave a mighty kiok that sent bis muster ! spruwllug aud lntiicd him for a month. " hou, Dexter I ' shouted tho govern or. "Don't yon know me, sir? Hteady now, old fellow, uud we'll got out of this." Recognizing his muster's voice, Dex ter turned his head towurd the prostrate uiuu aud tittered acouxingwbiuuy quite unlike bis previous loud cries of alarm. Knowing be uood fear no more kicks, the governor crept up aud cut the bultor ami, calling Dexter to follow him, limped blindly through the auioks filled entry and the two blazing rooms be yond, and close after him went Dexter, his donu pressed agaiaxt his master'! shoulder, muu aud horse reaching the safe outer air together. "It waa Dnxtur'a oberiiuuee that saved him," said the governor. "I ouuld not lead bitn, aud bud be showu the least obstinacy or auy lesa readiuess to fol low at a word through all thst round about, unuociutouud way I must have left bitn to perish ia tbe flames, bnt be followed like a well traiued soldier, and we escaped from our burning, fluty f uruuoe almost at aaloly as Shadruoh, Aloshaob aud Absduego did from theirs."

The Milwaukee Republican club cele brated Abraham Lincoln's births' y last Saturday evening, February 12. An unusually large attendance was present. The good program thst was rendered is due to the efficient progrum committee, consisting of Messrs. J. . Wet.ler, Fredlierg and Henry A. Henneman. After disposing of the routine order of business, the president, Mr. K. Scott, announced that we had gathered here to celebrate Abraham Lincoln's birthday, and that the committee had given a great deal of time in preparing a program (or the occasion. The entire audience then lang "America." Among those that took part were : Master Arthur Bittner, who ably rendered a violin solo, accom panied by bis sister, Myrtle. It waa to well appreciated that an encore was called (or. Miss Johana Kiel recited Lincoln's favorite poem, "Why Should the Spirit of Mortal be Proud?" Miss Kiel is one who promises to be an elocu tionist. Annie Bernhsrd ably rendered the "Bavarian Yoodle," which wat ac companied by her brother, Samuel, on the autoharp. Mr. S. C. Spencer then gave a very able address on the "Life and Political Career of Abraham Lin coln." At times be kept the audience in continual laughter by telling a number o( "Honest Abe's" comical stories." Mr. Spencer is an able talker and promises to do good work In the coming campaign. Prof. Hunter's quartet cannot pass with out mention They ably rendered "Life in tny Childhood Days" and sang "Fairy Moonlight" for an encore. The president, Mr. It. Scott, then briefly spoke of Lincoln's lii'e, home and tomb which be hat seen personally. Good feeling prevails in the republican ranks in Milwaukee and it promises to be one of the banner precincts of the county. The sarprise for All. Mr. James Jonee, of the drusi firm of Jones & Son, Cowden, 111., in speaking of Dr. King's New Discovery, says that last winter bia wife was attacked with La Grippe, ami her case grew so serious that physicians at Cowden and Pana could do nothing for ber. It seemed to izrtiop Icto tiz'j consumption. Hav ing Dr. King't New Discovery ia the store, and selling lots of it, he took a bottle home, and to the surprise ol all she began to get better from first dose, and half dozen dollar bottles cured her sound and well.

The factory towns of the East are noted for affording the best market to the neigh boring farmers and gardeners in proportion to the population of any of the towns in that section. The reason for this is that the people of these towns have a fixed in come upon which they can always depend, and, as a consequence, they are liberal buy ers, paying cash for all their purchases.
