The egg of prosperity in the Uhelsea firm of O. J. Chandler & Co. egg aud produce dealers, has becorue addled. The firm assigns. The editor of the Dexter Leader states that "when the sun is hot and the wiud in the sonthwest, the ruill pond frequently sruells to Heaveu.': Bet him "ten" that hb can't prove it now, or at any future time. Iiaoss Feit, of Flat Rook, kuocked out James Howes the other day in a onesided sorap, and was then coralled, taken to Carlton and assessed f 10 and costs for bis fun. - Monroe Democrat. How must Imoss feit ! P. MoCabe, of Dexter, has a 4x6cage, stuffed with three owls, a crow and a game rooster. They dweil in perfect accord, yet in freedom would figbt to the death. Traly politics makes stranae bedfellows, and it would not be strange to yet behoid McMillan and Pingree hngging and kissing eaoh other.

As the resnlt of an oíd quarrel among university doctors, Dr. Campbell is out of a job. He was not tnrned out, bot the chair was kioked out frorn nnder his person - i. e. abolished.
