The Hubbardston Advertiser has suspended for want of patronage. The Lelanau Knterprise'entered upon its fourth volume with the issue of November 18th. The Chesaning Magnet office, with the entire contents, was destroyed by fire rccently. The Livingston Democrat now prints its oight large pages at home. It is rcfreshiDg to run aeross a home paper occasionally. It is announced that C. F. Kimball will again assume the editorial control of the Pontiac Gazette after January lst. He will be welcomed back to the ranks again. The Oxford Globe niakes this pertinent inquiry : "According to the recent vote of the anti-secret society people, how long will it take to perfectly annihilate the secret hucieties." The Charle voix Sentinel, partakingof the general prosperity of the country, ha been enlarged to a six column uuarto. lts eulation has been iucreased, and likewlsc ts advertising. Good luck to its lucky proprietor and editor. The editor of Cadillac News, has vowed unto himself a rash and terrible vow, and just because of a littlo gooso. Hear him ; "We sha'nt engage in any hunting expeditions this fall. The last time we shot a gun we had a " valuable " tame goose to pay for." There's a glorious chance for gore and clotted blood by the basketfull now. The Wayne Connty Courier in reply to the charges of the Ypsilanti Sentinel of dipping into the election corruption fund which it claimed elected Lord, in Wayne county, replies: " You He, youvillyun, youlie. Our address for the next four weeks will bc GU Bates street, Detroit." The Dundec Reporter curves up its sj.inal column and remarlo; " The details of the outrage on the American schooner Mary Hall, by a Chilian cruiser, is calculated to lead to the inquiry whether the United States is so suiall that it must pocket the insult to its flag by a picayune South American power. It is time this nation began to enforce the respect which is its due, at least upon the western hemisphere. " Success neverstruck an individual who is betterdeservingof it than the person referred to by the Ogemaw nerald in the follow - ing item ; "The proprietor of this paper, J. S. Holden, wilt soon enter upon his dutiesas postma8ter at Farwell. Well, anyway to keep our boss busy, three newspapers and a 110 acre farm, don't begin to do it. He surely has the auccess he deserves through his own manly strugglejfor a livelihood." The Grand Rapids Post reads us all a lesson, good in precept, but alas, howiinpossible of practico: " Selfishness is the essence of sin and the root of all vico. And when you feel like thanking God that you are not as oilier men - drunken, licentious, or dishouest- look into your heart and see how much of it is occupied by this hateful spirit. It may be that for all your high standing in the community and your happy self-complacenoy, youare no better than the publicaiii. Perhaps you are only more cold blooded, or a trifle meaner than they ; and owe to tbis your apparent superiority." The Allegan Tribune believes in mixing a little practical education with all thebook knowledge our children are acquiring: " Many of the students of the schools will be set to studying this winter, as usual, in the evenings. We think this is not wise. They wouid much better spend what iortion of tbat time they do not take for social parpocPsJ, in rnntníj booLs, maaLÍ[Jt', and papers. Every acholar can do enough of (study during the school hours, and it is important to be getting some knowledge every day out of miscellaneous booksand papers. It is of quite as much importance as the knowledge obtained trom school books. It is, besides, too great a tax on the minds and strength of most scbolars to pursue tlie school studies steadily every evening in addition to the study of' the day." The following respecting the obtaining of' copy-rightsforbooks, pamphlets, etc, froni the Eaton Kapids Journal, is of' interest to many : " A great many wonder how the copyright f'or a boot is obtained. It is liku Columbus causing the egg to stand on its end, simple enough if you only know how. You simply send a copy of the title of your book to the Librarían of Congress, Washington, 1). (.',, ten daysbefore publication, and two copies of the book on publicatiou. He charges you 50 cents for uiaking a record, 50 cents more for a copy of the reoord, if you want it, and asmall fee for any assignments recorded and certified. You then state within your book tbat it has been so "entered," and you have a right of actiou against any one who reprints it without your leaye for twenty-eight years, with tlie power of renewdl for fourteen years. ' ' Tho Big llapids Magnet resurreots thi bit of Californian politica! history : "The defeat of Judge David S. Terry as one of the democratie oandidates for presidential electors in California, recalls a enapter of bloody political hjstory. In 1859 Daniel C. Hroderick, a native of New York, but one of the ' forty-niners,' as ;i Douglas democratie senator for California, líe had taken hi.s seat in 1857, and from the first bad identified himself with thoseopposed tothe extensión ul'slavery. He soon became alienated from bis party, and to -ueh anextent finally as to aroute i's bitter animosity. David S. Terry was at that time one of the prominent southern fireeaters who had emigrated to ('aliforuia. He took it upon hïmself to vindícate his faction by challenging Broderiek to mortal onmliat. The challenge w:i kooepted, and Broderick was killed. The affair created intense ezcitement in the north, and the recent vote, twenty-one years aftcr, shows that there are at least 300 demoorats in that state ready to pay a tribute to Hroderick' memory in defeating lus as.sussin, although be may have been but a political instrument." The Plint & Perre Mumiette l. K. is to be extended to Manistee this winter. Tlis'grand división Sons of 'IVmperance held their annual sesioIl at Kalamazoj this week. The Methodist EpiaoopaJ Cliurchos of' Detroit held a glad jubilee at Central church Thanksgiving day, as a grand object was upon that day ooMummatod. About 18 months ago the six churches in that city formed an aliiance, pooled their delits, which aggregated $35,000, and commenoed the process of extinguishing tbe game. Last Thanksgiving day saw the thing acoomplished.
