He went off last week. -■- The hüred man of Arthur Hopkins, of Milan shot him in the foot the other day. A hired man with an aim like that ïsn't worth over $10 a month.

As the undertaker said of his coffins: "Try mine and you will use no other." # V It is true that H.

The Ypsilanti Commercial isabusing North Dakota " like a piek pocket," for having a September snow storm, chilling the air and bring a tomato killing frost upon Ypsilanti. Smithe, however, never didbelieve much in state rights. The University city has been sued for damages, by Mrs. Mary Kinnie, who alleges that a hole in the sidewalk swallowed up a large part of one of her most valuable limbs, towit, of the value of $5,000. The case is docketed for the present term. The other day at Ann Arbor 3,000 pounds of sewer pipe dropped upon George Key's foot, and just as soon as he found it out he began to lose his temper. He declared no city could put a sewer through his pedal extremity without first getting his right of way, b'gosh! # It required the united strength of fourteen of the swellist young men of Ypsilanti, to organize the Andulescentis club, and when they got it organized they were all "tuckered out." So will be their pocketbooks in the spring. The - the - (see above) club will give dancing parties. Everybody in Ann Arbor hopes that the electric railway scheme connecting Ypsilanti, Ann Arbor, Saline, Tecumseh, Adrián, etc., may be a success. - Courier.

The speech of Mrs. Eliza Sunderland, of Arm Arbor, at the World's Fair the other day, in the congress of religions, was highly complimented by the Chicago Tribune, which terms her the orator of the day, and says she displayed great depth of scholarship, her expression forcible, and her voice clear and distinct. Mrs. Sunderland is entitled to be proud, and we are proud of her, because she belongs to this congressronal district, whether it is politics or religión. Ex-Gov. Alpheus Felch, of Anri Arbor, reached his Scjth year, Thursday of last week. The clean conscienced old governor is still robust and hale. He was a statesmen in the U. S. senate, when many of the present members of that now degenerate body were "mewling and puking in their nurses arms" anci will never behold the day when they will be called statesmen. Long Iife to the good old Gov. Felch ! The Argus epitomizes his political career thus: A mernber of the state legislature at the age of 31, ati honest bank commissioner at the age of 34, auditor general at the age of 38 and in the same year, judge of the supreme court, governor of Michigan at the age of 41, senator of the United States at the age of 43, he retired from active politics at an age when many men are just beginning to achieve prominence.

As each party charges the other with open theft, there must be some lying or large immorality loose in, around and about the said premises as aforesaid, in this, that the said aforementioned parties aforesaid have either sold stock of the said aforesaid Register Publishing Company, and not accounted for the same to the said party of the first part, or else the said second party of the said aforesaid parties has lied about it, and the same said second parties, to wit, namely, one Corbin, did enter the aforesaid premises of the aforesaid Moran, in the absence of the said Moran, and there and then did feloniously gobble up a lot of important (if true) documents and papers of said Moran, and escorted them thence hitherward, whence no one knoweth, or else the said Moran equivocates, all of which the court is asked to investígate with an equity search light, and then to render unto Csesar those things which belong to that king, if any he finds. The Register has our profound sympathy in its ill fitting suit.
