It is explained by tbe Plymouth Mail that the accident to John Chickeu was a dislocation of the left clavicle. Qood ! We were afraid he had broken his "wishbone. " The title of ex-President Harrison's recent Jecture in Ann Arbor was "Some Hindrances to Law Reform," by which he appears to have heard of the nature of the present Michigan legislature. "Beans continue to grow lower" says the Cblsea correspondent of the Argus. It is umlerstood that Hi. Tariff will try to raise them this season. He proposes a tax of 50 cents a bushei, and of course the faot that we export, rather than import beans, doesn't count. Louis Peak, colored, of Ann Arbor, peeked" into the drawer of a saloon and in a "moment of abstraction" abstracted two rings and a revolver. The saloonkeeper was piqned at Peak's peeking propensity and sent him to peek through the bars of the house of correction. An electric car at Ann Arbor "rearoiided" a fisb wagon last week, knocking the venerable fisbmau ofE the perch. "The cld' gentleman carped a good eel about the horned dace of a motorman being a bullhead as to not ring the bell, and the car driver says he did, but the wall-eyed pike was as deaf as a mullet, and it was a wonder that he was not laid out as stiff as a í'rozen shad." Senator Campbell explains that the reasou he introduced the bill to bond this city for $100,000 for au art gallery was that it was snggested by Judge Grant who drew up the bill and asked Mr. Campbell to introduce it in the senate. - Ann Arbor Register.

Says the Washtenaw Times: "Prof. Pease says that hereafter no ono will be allowed to attend the rehearsals of 'The Creation' except those wuo will particípate in the oratorio." How conld there be a "rehearsal" of the creation? The original job went forward without rehearsal and Prof. Pease errs in supposiug that he was in charge of it, or that he waved the baton when "the inorning stars sang together. " ' A citizen wants to know "how that magnificent new belfry on the corpnration building will ring out in the case of fire? Go ask tbe "daddies. " - Milan Leader. Aud while the belfry is ringing out, what will the bell be doing? - Adrián Press. The bell doesn't have to do anything. It has a pull. - Northville Record. Oh hold your dapper. - Adrián Press. The Northville Record states tbat through tbe "josh" of the three papers above named, attention was called to the situation. Milan village pocured a fire bell, the school board a large school bel!, and a neighboring district a dell, also. Thns it appears that much benefit has been derived from this tripartite newspaper "ring."
