Reiiieuiber the lecture of Wallace Bruce before the studeuts' lecture association, in the university hall, to-night. Subject : "Landmarks of Scott." The past week has been an excellent one to "break in " those new boots, won on election, but not so nice for the new hats. They would have to be " wet " too niuch. The entertainment at the Presbyterian church last Wednesday evening, was au excellent one, but the weather was so unpleasant that not as inany were present as was expected. Win. Herz coutemplates the erection of a two-story biïck store next spring, on tbe lot now occupied by his paint shop, on Washington street, just west of Bach & Abel'a store. The famous figures " 329," which have been " hawked " over the country by tho demócrata, have at last been explaincd. The majority for Hancock in this eounty is just that amount.

What is this world coming to when they won't lot dealers ply su sh littlo tricks of the trade ? Erastus N. Gilbertsqueezcs into the reg office by 15 majority. Well, 15 is ood as 1,500 for all practical purposes. The ron he made was an extraordinary one, having sjme 500 or 600 opposition to overeo Die. The peoplu who are eternally grasping for all of the good things in this world, nd attempt to occupy two eeats in a railwy (nrriage, or in a theatre, should remembur that the average age of the hog is (1ily 15 year.s. File arranKements thisyear at the county clerk's office for recoiving and regirteríng " vote of the county was admirable, and Mr. Clark and his assistant should receive e thauks of all newspaper men, at least, '¦r the s;inic.

The weather prophets of evil have been telling the people that just twenty ycars ago this SMton wc had a terribly coM winter, and that we must expeot tho same again this oa.son.

A rain storm last Saturday turned into snow befbre nigbt, and a eovcring of whito was wliat greeted the eyes upon looking out-'o-doors Sunday morning. This is the first taste of winter j'etgiven us. Mooday and Tuesday it was quite mild agaiu. A business hou-e that hasn't energy or self-rospect sufficient to clean the suow froin tho sidewalk in front of ita preuiises, ought to receive the cold shoulder of patronage.

One lone individual in Augusta, and another in Webster, marched up to the polls, in the face of a omhing and all over-powering opposition, and put in straight tickets of that sort. The individual who addedup the columns in the census table of this county, publisiiod in the l'ost and Tribune of the 9th inst., made a mistake in Ann Arbor city.

Cooley are to be the speakers, and then things are to be kept booming riglit through the season. The club need larger quarters sadly. From the time a boy is eight years old until he is thirteen, he devotes two solid hours every day of his busy life to learu how to make a new kind of noise. By the time he is tbirteen years old, he has accumulated noise enough to last him his natural life, and use three kinds of noise the same day, too. Tickets were printed upon the constitututional amendment, "yes" and " no," for every township and ward in this county, and distributed by the county clerk.

It seems that her husband was ctnployed in the mili, and that she went Saturday as was her custorn, to get his uioney to do her marketing, as his work kept him until niiduight. She most have been overtaken by the storm and probably feil, face downward, from tho bank into the water below, which was very shallow. Last Tuesday morning, Mr. C. B. Davison upon going into the press room of this office, at about 5 o'clock, found a man, about 28 or 26 years of age, sleeping very soundly thoroin, having gained admissinn through one of the north windows. He gave his name as BimpiOB, and asBcrts that he is froui Watertown, N. Y. He is an inoffenaive sort of a person, and appears to be domented. Corrospondonce has been enterod into with the idea of 6nding out who he is. When we notioe nucb items as the following froni the Brighton Citizen, it takes olf the friotion of tho general " y awp " by papers all over the state about Aun Arbor meatcarvers: "Mrs. Chas. Boetcher is fast recovering her sight at Ann Arbor," and " Mrs. Holden has entirely recovered her sight through the treatment she is receiving at Ann Arbor." Tbere is more good done to the living than there is harm to the dead by these terrible medicine men.

Tossimer and Lewis sustained auite serious injuries. They wero taken to their homes and Dr. Maclean dressed their wounds. It is thought that Lewis ia injured intorually. The Monday evening cdition of the Detroit Eveniug News had the following item, which may be of interest to some of our readers: " Ypsilantians now think of their beloved normal school and tbe appropriations it annually absorbs, and wonder if theyhaven't fooled themselves in defeatinsCapt. Ed. Allen, one of the most influential members of the last legi.-lature." Also the following slander upon our down the Huron neighbons: " Two thousand and twenty dollars was the amount that the Free Press election day buncombe cost ccrtain pinheaded Ypsilantians who belicved it- and bet acoording to their belief." Wm. Wade, the blacksmith, the president of the Detroit reform club, spoke last Sunday at the reform club rooms, and gave the best address that has been given in a long liiiif. H is audience were so enthusiastic that an evening meeting was resolved upon, and the rooms were agaiu filled to oveiflowing. It is to be honcd that Mr. Wade will atiain speak here, and that the club can obtain a larger audience room to accomniodaie the people. The boys are cramped in their protest quarters, they need, and ought to havo a larger room. l'filiaps they ought to Bell their tent and buy the Unitarian chureh. How would that do? _ A very eccentrie and econoiuioal citizen surprised one of our city photographers theotherday by appearing in his "studio" for llie purpose of baving his ])ioture taken, Before the operation commenced, bfl f-aid : "' You fix pictures up somo way to niake people look younger than they really are, sometimos, don't you?" "We have the negatives retouched, removing pimples, freckles, wrinkles and other defects as mueh as possible," said hc of the camera. " Well now, that's just what I don't want you to do," said the economical man. " I can't afford to have my picture taken every four or five years, and I want this likeness to look old enough to answer for ten years from now." The aitist didu't retouch that negative.

Tbe jollification meeting held by the republicans, in the opera house, at Ypsilanti, Friday evening of last week, was a grand success, and the house was ciowded to its utmost capacity. Dr. N.

The firfet speech of the evening was given by Rev. Dan. R. Shier, of Saline. Of the other speeches the Post and Tribune says : "The glee club gave a rousing sonj:, when Capt. E. P. Allen was introduced. The captain was so heartily applauded that it was some time before he could be heard. When order was restored he made one of the best speeches that was ever heard here. He said he was defeated, but nofr entirely gone. He closed his speech with a few remarks in regard to temperance, which brought tears to a great many eyes. At the close of bis speech the captain was presented with a beautiful basket of flowers, and some one in the audience proposed three cheers for him, which were given with a will. Senator Baldwin followed with a short speech which drew outrounds of applause. The Hon. S.'M. Cutchoon was introduced and said that the first political speech he ever made was in that city, n 1856, and he had spoken in every campaign since till tbe recent one, when his health would uot permit. D. B. Grcene, who made some good remarks, was the !ast speaker.
