hose turned on them. It is a disgrace 

 to our refined calling. 



Mr. Barclay, of Chicago, has been 

 sojourning in the town the last day 

 or two. Strange to say, last year the 

 first Dutch bulb growers appeared sim- 

 ultaneously with the first blue bird 

 which was early in March. This year 

 our azure breasted songster is not in 

 it for Mr. Taat and C. Keuh were 

 here by February 24th. The early 

 bird gathers the worms; if the worms 

 are foolish enough to get out so early.

 anybody eating fruit or even having 

 but tew fruit trees, or in anyway con- 

 cerned. Had this address been placed
