Millctt, our assessor, is deep in the mazes of the new revenue law which no one, even among the state officers, seems able to understand and intcrpet.

It should be pleasing to both the town and country people to see these further evidence that the town is going ahead. The fact that we have added a creamery, bank, po tato storage warehouses and a modern blacksmith and wood working shop to our enterprises since the county seat was lost, would indicate that Heming ford is not entirely wiped off the map. !VLRSLANb.

It had a litter of six young ones that constantly cling to the mother after the manner of all mar supials. They are about the size of half grown mice. A nest of dry leaves had been cozily constructed in the middle of the bunch of bananas, in which they had safe ly emigrated from their native clime in the far off soutli land. They are pretty little creatures and it is interesting to watch them clamber about the bird cage in winch Mr. Peterson keeps them, using their feet, which resemble minute hands, and their long,- slender, prehensile tails.
