Three little strangers of the masculine persuasion took up their abode with the Rev. Macmurry, Daniel O'Keef and Robert Thompson respectively during the past week. There is great rejoicing in consequence.

We saw neighbor Donaldson of Pulcifer, last week and he seemed extra happy, but we found the reason of his happiness - a boy, weight 16 pounds avoirdupois.

A stranger called at the residence of T. H. Phelps at an early hour on Tuesday morning last. He couldn't speak a word of english and appeared to be in very destitute circumstances- his clothes altogether to thin for this rigorous climate. Mrs. Phelps ordered him to be kindly cared for. She didn't palm off any of her husband's old clothes on him but gave him a new suit throughout. He has been staying there since, and it is said that Mrs. P. pays more attention to him then she does her husband, that she has been seen by the neighbors with her arm around his neck etc. Such conduct on the part of a lady towards a stranger might make trouble in some families, but T. H. isn't a bit jealous, and says the fellow can stay as long as he likes. He is a quiet well-behaved lad and weighed nine pounds. The REPORTER extends a hearty congratulations.

One more Lince to swell the next census. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Lince are happy possessors of a brand new girl. Take the lead Jacob and keep it until someone does better.

 Mr. Burnette wears his hat a little to one side, just now.  Cause, a “baby girl’s” at his home.

 Ed Davis is proud in the possession of a young son.

Mr. and Mrs. Ed Totman are happy in the possession of a new daughter.  They have our congratulations.

Personal
 It is a girl this time, and came to the house of Amos Holgate on Wednesday morning last. As this is his first daughter, Amos feels as happy as a
brand new father; and why shouldn’t he.

 Mr. Thomas Milea is th happy father of a bouncing boy.  We notice that he “braces up” considerably since this new dignity is confered upon him. 

 But the re-union is of little importance as it regards the interest of certain individuals when compared with an event which occured June the 6th, at 7 p.m.  Young Dr. Beebe Jr., assumed his lawful position in his grandfather Lince’s house.  Mother and son are doing finely.  We hope the young  M.D. will live to be as old as his great great garndmother, who is now in her 95th year.

 Barrister Trudell received an addition to his family on Monday.  It is a girl and the Barrister looks much more dignified than formerly.

 Dr. Beebe is a happy Father now.  The little stranger arrived on Sunday last, and was warmly welcomed.  It is of the same sex as its happy Father.

 That “Bouncing Boy” of Tom. Millea’s proves to be a “Lovely Girl” and from the present indications Miss Milea will be the “Belle” of the city in about 18 years from this date.  Tom don’t “brace up” quite so much as he did. 

Brookside
 A new girl baby is stopping with Mr. and Mrs. N. Chase.

 Miss Ida Jones, census enumerater for the East and South wards, informs us that she  found twenty five infants in the East, and Seventy-five in the South Ward, which were born during the month of June 1880.  Dr. Bentz reports thirty five, making a total of 135 births for the month of June.
