Tliis paragraph appears in the Saline council proceedings: "A motion prevailed that the clerk make an iteinized statement of damage to the fire engine and other property of the fire .departinent sustained at the Bassett lire, A ug. 9, and present the same to the secretary of the Washtenaw Mutual Insurance Co." The pioneer stone culvert of Dexter townsbip lias just been placed under the plank road near the house of John Hall. The innovation bids fair to become popular. It is safer and more durable than the old wooden box, and is tohealth, a foot-pad waiting for lus victim is much more secure there than hiding in an old slimy slab structure, loaded with malaria and rheumatisni. Mrs. M. Naylor, of Northileld, ihcently heard with grief of the death of an uncle in Kochester, and shortly afterwards received a check whicli she at first supposed was for $1,700. What might have been lier annoyance tberefore, a few days ago to find that the check was really for $17,000! More recently she flnds that she inherits some valuable business property in Rocliester. The Ypsilanti high school is crowded. There are 130 scholars, with accomnaodations for only 7-5. Supt. Whitney can take a hint what to do with the excess, fronu the reply of the young man who asked the giiTs father tor her hand.

This would would work well in some cases, but in others Avould lead to cutting the buttons off the doctor's coat, while he was at prayers. Mr. Nordman did nqtappearat Dexter, but Mr. Peters did. He climbed into a buggy, and standing up, asked the crowd where they stood. He charged his hearers by the silvery moon, not to vote for any but a 16 to 1 cnijiage man, and said the populists didn't want to walt for their heaven till they crossed the creek. They wmited a little of heaven here. and o. ild raise thunder if thev did not get it. A veteran at Stockbrldge lias a pocket knife which he claims once belonged to JefE. Davis. It is an old-f ashioned horn-handled knife with acorkpulling attachment, and the present ownei thinks that the late president of the C. S.

The articles belonged to the old colored man, Jeff. Davis, of Ann Arbor. Morrell Goodrich says that 67 years agn last Tuesday he landed in Dexter viliage. At that date corn was growing on one side of what is now Main street and potatoes on the other. - Dexter Leader. Remnants of the steainboat from which he "landed" are still visible at Dexter. Mr. Goodrich spenk3 of the natives asextremely kind. Tiiey took him "coouing" on the Main St. side, and set up with him all night, eating roast green corn and potatoes and bolled corn. The engine of the propellor is now in use as the motor of the Ypsi-Ann raihoad. President English, of the S. W. Farmers" Club, said among other things in his paper, entitled, "Are erop reports of auy benefit to farmers'?'', that there had not been a time since Adam and Eve were shoved out of Paradise when the prayer "Give us this day our daily bread" had been so nearly ansvvered. It is said that the old man Whetstone, whoiwas present and who last spring said the wheat "was all drownded out" and the fruit buds killed to the last bud, went outside and bit off a big hunk of "plug chavvin' " to brace up his nerves.

Fenn, of Bridgewater, is the kind of a democrat, who, were the bottom of the old democratie shipknocked out, would be found floating on tlie rim still shouting for democratie prin eiples. He was one of the candidates 'or senator at the late convention at Manchester and came near an eleotion.

We watched the papers carefully to tind out whom the prohibitionists nominated for congress, at Adrián, two weks ago, but found no report anywhere. Xow the Adrián Press flnds out that it was D. W.

Why Mr. Grandon should try to trot in the congressional chiss hitched to a crazy prohibition wagon, so "dry" that it squeaks, is oiie of the things yet to find out.
