There were about two hundred people present at the opening of the Light Infantry bazaar on Tuesday : evening, and it is conceded to be the most artistically arranged bazaar ever gotten op in this city. Among the visitors were over twenty members of the Ypsilanti Light Guards, under Captain Woodruff and Lieuts. Kirk and McKean. Music was furnished by the Ann Arbor city band. John Taylor, senior member of the firm of Taylor & LeFurge, Ypsilanti, died on Wednesday evening, after a lingering illness. He was bom nearFalkirk, Scotland, in 1841. He emigrated to Canada in 1862, where he remained about seven years. He then came to Ypsilanti, where he has since been engaged in the hardware business. He leaves a wife and one son. Another pioneer has joined the great majority. This time it is D. J. Hawkins, of Ann Arbor town. He was in his g7th year. He settled near Dixboro in 1826, and at one time kept a hotel in that place. Mr. Hawkins was born in Verrnont. He was a brother of the late Olney Hawkins, once a well known lawyer of this city. The funeral took place last Saturday afternoon. Rev. J. T. Sunderland will speak next Sunday morning at the 1 erian church on "The Increase of "aith: Was There Ever so Much j Faith as Now? " In the evening he 1 will give the fourth sermón in his ' series on "Jesús and His Religión," subject'Did Jesús Work Miracles?" The sermón announced on "Rev. B. Fay Mills and the State University" will be postponed for one week, to Sunday morning, Dec. 3. The sidewalk in front of the Malloy property on Miller avenue, which is built on trestles,is in an unsafe condition, several of the pïaiJ'.s being broken and gone. We understand that a new walk has been ordered there, but the order has not been obeyed. On Felch street a short walk has been put down from the railroad to, the edge of a pond at the foot of the hill, and there it stops short, as must also the pedestrian, unless he desires ar bath beneath the frog-spawn. Gug Beckley died at his home in Bay City last Sunday morning. He formerly resided in Ann Arbor, and had a great reputation as a hunter and fisherman. He was born in the fifth ward, this city, in 1827. He became a resident of Bay City about fifteen years ago. Mr. Beckley served during the rebellion with Company A, 20th Michigan Infantry, and was honorably mustered out at the close of the war. He died in his chair while reading a newspaper bef ore breakfast. A son anddaughsurvive him. Many of the older Ann Arbor sportsmen will keep his memory green. Owing to poor health, Prof. Stanley bas been obliged to give up his concert before Unity club till further notice. The Club, however, takes great pleasure in being able to secure in Prof. Stanley's place for Monday evening, next, Mr. Max Winkler, of the University, who will give a talk upon "The Religious and Political Agitations now Prevalent in Germany." Mr. Winkler gave this talk before the Young Men's Liberal Guild, of Ann Arbor. on Nov. 17, and it was pronounced a most able and interesting treatment of this most vital and interesting subject; interesting at least, to all students of modern European history.
