Hooretary Priceville Jottings Intended for Last Week. The recent thaw made a clean sweep of the snow and several farmers got about three days plowing done before the weather turned cooler, and tho thin layer of snow on the roads, at present, is not tit for drawing heavy loads on.

We believe thit in mo.st cases, the groups of hunters who went into the northern wilds.c.irrying the least amount of booze, returned with the larger amount of game. Dan McLeod was over here on Mon- day of last week, canvasing for "votes and iiiriuence," stirred up a hornet's nest. Eh Dan.
