The month of March made its advent in the guise of lamb; will its exit be that of an enraged lion, tli c roar of which will reverberate and call up cchos during the month of April?

Our readers will pic se keep this in mind. ~l* • 1 Now N the time to clear up the alleys an .1 back yards, in town, which have been the receptacle of filth and garbage all winter. It is a duty you owe to the heath ' i your family as well as to the public. Fev ers and other maladies grow out of the unhealthy exhalations from these filth holes when warm weather comes and unless prompt measures are taken to clean up and purify these unwholesome places an, epidemic of disease may set in. The members of the Christian En deavor society have made the price of the "Hindoo Tea'' to be given ou the evening of April 7th, 15 cents to all instead of 10 and 15 cents as they announced last week. One could hardly expect a grand spread for this money, but we predict that the repast will more than be worth the price charged. The majority of our people think the price should have been 15 and 25 cents. • The proposed changes to the Baker ballot law would improve that meas ure greatly, and remove many of the intricacies that loom up as obstacles to the voter. It would bo less troublesome to a citizen to make liiß cross opposite the name of the indi vidual for whom he desires to vote than to attempt an arrangement of his ballot in accordance with the group provisions. Hundreds of im perfect ballots have been placed in the box as a result of this simple de fect, and thousands of men have cast straight tickets when they desired to divide their support, simply because they refused to risk the logality of their vote by attempting to follow a rule that did not seem plain to them. Under the circumstances we believe it would be more satisfactory, and occasion less trouble, if the voter be permitted to indicate the individual for whom he desifos to vote. Ten or a dozen additional amendments have been proposed, all of which would aid in improving the law. It is believed that the new system is the best ever oonoeived, but it can be perfected and made better by remedy ing the little defects that experience has shown to exist in it.

There was a large number of peo- J pie present at the constable sale of , the personal property ofJohnGotie, ; at the Russell place, in Laporte township, on Saturday last. The following goods were levied upon : One liorse, two cows one jersey bull, thirty sheep and eighteen lambs, seventeen chickens and one spring wagon. The sale was to begin at 2 p. m. When the constable and buy ers arrived, however, nine sheep and tbe old spring wagon was all that could be found on the premises. The nine sheep were sold and a search was made for Ihe remainder of the property. The balance of the thirty sheep were found in the lor. est near Cooper's Retreat, with the old gentleman standing guard over 1 them. He gave them up, however, without causing any trouble, saying "I thought if I could hide them away I could save them from being sold, but that you have found them, you may take them in peace." The liorse was found in the forest about a half mile from his residence tied to a tree. One black cow was found in the woods back of the birch oil dis till, near Eagles Mere, the back door of the house was opened and inside was found two sheep, ten lambs and five chickens. The jersey bull and one red cow were not found although a general search was made for them. Gotio was asked to tell where ho had secreted them but refused to re veal the secret, hence tlio sale was postponed until Monday, when they wore found and sold by the constable. The thirty sheep and lambs were purchased by A. T. Armstrong, for $92.10, black cow by Charles Lauer, consideration §17.50, the horse by .John Kesler, consideration $8.25) the wagon by C. Tec'e, jr., consider ation §1.50, and the five chickens by A. A. Baker, for $1 05. The prop erty brought all it was worth when it is considered the poor condition of the sheep, horse and cattle. They evidently have had but little to eat and but little care during the past winter. It is better for the sheep and cattle that they have changed hands. LIST OF GRAND JURORS.
