They are also to exhibit at five state fairs in different sections of the country. They never come out second best, either. As the returns come in from Maine tbe faces of republicans are seen to brighten up while those of the opposition lengthen out proportionatcly. The fact is the democrats rejoiced prematurely. They are too uiuch on the hair trigger order, go off at a touch, and they feol sick over their haste, too. Saturday eveoing, notwithstanding the mishap on the previous evening, the tcut was filled witli a large audience, who from their frequent applause, seemed highly pleased with the entertainment.

The young "smarty" who wields the local pen on a city contemporary has found a typographical error in the Courieu and attempt8 to be sarcastic thereon. l'ickinc up one of his papers of a recent date, and observing twenty-six errors in an eightcen, line item, the story of the "glass house" was brought to mind.

Something must be dono before long, sure.

At the close of the social given in the tent last Friday evening, by Frank Hangsterfer, the seats upon one side gave way, and the people upon them wore precipitated to the ground.

The Detroit Evening News relates sotne very discreditable work of the coroner and undcrtaker who had the body of her father in charge.

His numerous friends and patrons part with him with much regrot but tho state of his health compels hira to seek a milder climate.

There was a special meeting of the common council Friday evening of last week, to take into considoration the condition of the bridge over the Huron, on Pontiac street, near tho old Sinclair milis. The committeo appointed at the last regular meeting reported the structure in an cxoeedingly dangerous condition, and mustbe repaired or rebuilt nt once. Varioua propositions and expresaions of opinión were indulged in. Aid. Martin thought that the old bridge could not bo repaired for lesa than $800 ; Aid. Kitredge thought the best way to repair t was to tear t down and build a new one ; Aid. Hutzel thought an iron structure would be the best and cheapest ; and finally the whole thing was settled by a uiotion of Aid. McOmber, that the street committee be authorized to employ a competent bridge builder to make necessary repairs at a cost not to exeeed $200. The wisdom of this step remains to be seen.
