'"One of our citizens, a man wlio wonld blush if he even thought of telling an untruth, solemnly avers that a robín lias been hanging around his home, for the past few days." - Chelsea Herald. Why don't he find the wretch who hung the robin, and have him prosecuted. Any one who would hang a robin around a man's house such cold weather, would vote a republican ticket straight. Kev. Sunderland, of Ann Arbor, has begun a course of lectures on the origin of books of the new Testament. Last Sunday his theme was "When and by whom were the irst three gospels written?" We do not have any record of the date, hut it is known that Susan B. Anthony and Chas. A. Dana wrote the first two and from similarity of expression, there is no doubt but Don Henderson, of Allegan, wrote the third. Ann Arbor is the seat of music as well as of several other things. Vet the V. M. C. A. of that place goes to Detroit to secure a male quartet for an entertainment. Pour out of five of these fellows will vote for protection and the home market, and then run out of town to secure something poorer than they had at home, and ask the citizens for money to pay to outsiders, instead of to deserving ones in their own midst. The idea of going to Detroit for singers, when such voices as those of Jack Sheehan, A. J. Sawyer, Ez. Norris and Judge Kinne, are at their command. In reorganizing their public buildings, Ann Arbor's council proposes to make an annex to the city hall and engine house, and have the city jail on the ground floor with the other city offices. Sorne over-sensitive citizens object to this, but in view of the prospective republican supreraacy of that city and knowing that the city offices are to be occupied by republicans, we think there should be no kick against locating the jail on the same floor. The necessity for easy access, is at once apparent, and it would save the coming city officers considerable exertion, after their conviction. I wouldn't be a bad idea to lócate the council chamber on the first lloor immediately.
