Passaic—Well, you wonder what ofaplace and surroundings go to make up the spot that is known on the map of the world as Passaic. I do not know why it was christened that, whether it was in honor of the New Jersey river and town of this name, that lie in the shadow of New i York, or of some one who came from q there, I can’t say. At any rate, I do know that our Passaic is a closely built little village of 25 or 30 build- ings, lying north of Butler on the Mo. ac. Ry. and surrounded by a are territory, the panorama of which would show, gently undulating prai- * cies, broken every now and then by wood-fringed water courses and dot- ted allover on prairie and stream j with the coziest of farm houses, i barns and other buildings necessary to complete country premises. Here also, wherever necessity dictates, is a the little white school house, where : go the children of honest parents, imbued with the sense of courtesy and independence, tracking green country lanes, and gathering wild flowers on their way hither and thither and unconsciously making impressions that will render these raral scenes in after years as bright as any which is now treasured up by as older children in youth's memory. Nor is the picture wanting by the observer of the house of God. Every Sunday sees the indifferent, the gay aud innocent, and the sincere follow- ers of the ‘Man of Sorrows” assem- bled to worship at His sbrine, all paying tribute to His name, and re- specting the cherished beliefs and traditions of our fathers. The traveler who comes within our borders has testified as to the home- like appearances he meets here, as compared with other places. Nor is this strange: for should his way be west his first intimation of the near approach here would be Mound Branch, a very pretty stream two miles eas Then gentle hills and quiet vall straight ahead, with great grass covered mounds, of ancient eruptive origin. Just to the north of his route would continue his introduction . uutil from Herman's hilla short distauce east, he looks down over the little hamlet that is the crowning stroke of the picture, aud the center-piece of the rural sur- roundings. Passing through, his dream of quiet nature is urbed by the rude whistle of the locomotive on the west, but only a few minutes’ drive and he sees to his left. and he sees the autumn-hued leaves of the timber that skirts the little stream with the uncanny name of ‘Wild Cat.” A mile further and he comes branch, another quarter and he comes to West Fork, all of which are timber lined strsam: Sandwiched with lovely stretches of prairie. Emerging out of the woods of the last named stream, he casts his eye to the north and seeing our humble home the spell is broken, and he on toward Kansas with an un- g picture buried in his memory ‘of our pleasant Passaic homes, to the creek called Bones Fork, an- | Other quarter and he crosses Walls’ | iH \ | that it appears as an outrage to take | lines, he need not fear but what he Boots and Shoes.

Mr Packer now sports a new baby girl at his house, born on last Fri- day. Louis C Eidhler and Ben Walls made atripto Rich Hill last week aftercoal.

Horses continue dying, John Lots- peich lost two, Mr Foster one, Emery Lockard one, Loyd Richard one and many others I can’t remember. The best I can make out of the re- port from all of those that have gath- ered any corn, is that it will not average any over ten -bushels per acre. I hope this will be improved by my next, as this sounds panicky. Another nice shower Sunday morn- ing. Grass is now springing up and if extreme cold weather will only keep off awhile we may have some pasturage and good yellow butter et. .

It may not be generally known, | but itis true, nevertheless, that Col Wolfe has a reguiar menagerie, con- sisting of nicely mounted animal skins piled up in his front parlor, in- cluding those of the grizzly bear, black bear, cougar, mountain lion, | badger, swift, catamount, mountain wolf, lynx, antelope, deer, grouse, prairie hen andthe male of that} specie called the sage hen.

We wish to voice the sentiment of Bro ‘‘Guess Who” in the Democrat of Jast week in regard to the need of toll mills in the country. It is a fact 75 Ibs of corn in the ear to mill and only get one-half bushel of meal in } return. Yes, if some one will only start a grist mill in Passaic on honest will have all our custom.

Don’t spend a dollar until you have looked The report that Feebeck had bee’ “flopped” out of the pen by an aged goose wasa mistake. Fact of the business was he stood his ground like a man and with lion like courage amidst a storm of hisses, dust and feathers he wrestled with his fierce foe until she was conquered. So that the new version of “Gh were you ne'er a school boy” runs thusly: They charged upon a flock of geese And put them all te flight, Except one aged mecher goose Who at Feebeck took a spite. But Feebeck knew a thing or two For as she at him rose, He dodged behind Bill Findley To save his Roman nose. Then with a mighty war whoop, They on their victim gather And when the dust is settled, And we venture to approach That goose was as bare of feathers, As Findley was of a roach. MoraL—Feebeck is to do the fight- ing now. s. Married One of the most pleasant events of the season was the marriage of Wm. H. McCool to Miss Berdie White, at the home of the bride’s parents, Dr. and Mrs. H. A. White in Rockville. on last Thursday, Oct. 14, at 1p. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Barrett ina very dignified and impressive manner inthe presence of only a few immediate friends and rel- atives. The bride was attired in cream albatross trimmed in lace and | ribbon to match, and wore a beauti-! fal bouquet of pure white chrysanthe- mums, The groom wore eonven- tional black. ed in white and pink tissue paper. The bride is a refined and talented young lady, the oldest daughter of t. White, and a favorite among her associates. The groom is an energet- ie, model young man, who has been | studying telegraphy and is now near- | ly ready to take a position as an erator. After the ceremony the bridal par- op- where the feast awaited. was laden with the many good things prepared by the skillful hands of the bride’s mother. The young couple wiil go to house- keeping soon, at Belton, Cass county, Mo., where the: groom will finish his education in telegraphy. The writer, with their many friends, join in wish- {ing them health, wealth and happi- ness. A GUEST.

The symptoms are that horses refuse to eat or drink, i become bloated and shortly there |after die. It is generally believed | that the trouble is caused by some- thing the horses eat in the fields or | pastures, but Judge Fix says th:s ia | not the case, as some of the animals , become ffl cted that have not been io the fields, except at their work, | aud even they were muzzled.
