And the people ran, especially the ladies. The remainder of thejworks came at once, and a lively time ensued for a few minutes. No damage was done but gome were badly frightened.

It was given out that there was to be preaching ia the school house on last Sunday, by Rev. W. C. Long, of Winona. But whoever gave it out took great care that no one heard it, consequently there was no attendance. Mrs. Chas. Strong, of Leland, is quite sick, although she is not in danger. We think that the one who wrote the notes from Grave in our last issue must have dreamed a part of her items and then wrote them. Diana certainly tried to make her col umn sound, but we should strive for the truth and not the sound. We think that we can soon write up the notice of a wedding, for it is whis pered in the breeze that one of Graves most popular young ladies is soon to enter tho matrimonial state.
