Miss Martha Raymond is dressmaking again, and has begun engaged upon some superior work.

J. W. Falkner will visit Henry on Friday and Saturday of this week in the interest of a work entitled "Prayer and its Remarkable Answers" by Wm. W. Patton of Chicago, formerly chief editor of the Advance. This is a work which should be in the hands of every believer, as it will tend to increase his faith. But all will find it of advantage to read, as it will give true ideas of the nature of prayer, conditions of success in prayer, and the mode of answer to prayer. Although published last December, it has already reached its eighth thousand which has just been issued, after revision by the author.
John McGrath, who owns the Rupp farm in Whitefield, while plowing last Friday, came upon a nest of nine wolf pups about a month old, all of which he captured and killed. The nest evidently had been made within two days. The old wolf, no doubt being disturbed and harnessed by dogs, had brought and secreted them on Mr. McGrath's place. Mr. McGrath would like to have received a bounty for this haul, but seems to think he done a good thing for himself and neighborhood in slaughtering the animals.
The storm of Saturday blew down several trees in town, and deluged the country with one of the heaviest rains we have experienced for a long time. Mr. William Foedick's new barn was struck during the day, the lightning cavorting around among the shingles and then running down a perpendicular post into the ground. Fortunately no great damage was done.
Mr. J. G. Armstrong ("Beemus) has been engaged to write up Ellsworth's pencil sketches of Marshall and Putnam counties. He will also embellish the columns of the Home Journal with occasional writings from his versatile and witty pencil.
