There is a considerable amount of sickness this winter, and the doctors.when not unwell themselves, have all they can attend to in a professional way. The bible class instracted by Rey. R. B.

Durheim has moved out of the corner store and the new bank, which in a few weeks goes into operación, has already completed the solid iron vaults and put a window through the north wal!. Dr. Cocker is slowly improving, but it will be a long, up-hill road for him back again to health. In the meantime he has the warm sympathy and the earnest. prayers of hundreda for his recovery. There will now be a skating rink on the rlver, as Frank Hangsterfer has fenced in a place and will keep it clear from snow. He has also secured an ice-plane to smooth the eurface of the ice. It is a rood enterprise. Last week the directors of the Agricultural company elected the following ofticers; President, J. j. Kllis; vice-president, John Finnegan; treasurer, J. W.

She was not particuhirlj injured by the faint or fall anl was soon able to go and return the skates. The opera which is to be given by om home tnusicians will probably bc "Io lanthe." We believe the company has been well chosen, and it ia fortúnate in being able to secure the musical direction of Prof. Calvin Cady, and the dramatic direction of Prof. De Pont.

The Inman steamship " City of Brussels" which was run into and sunk Monday nightin thelrish channel was the one on which Dr. C'ocker and the publisher of the Coürikr crossed the ocean in 1870, At that time she had made the best recort of any vessel iu crossins; the Atlantic. Alas we are going to be deprived of the privilege of hearing Col. Burleigh and the ex-preacher Miln! Having, since the start, been jealous of each other, and of late not even on speaking terms, Saturday night they concluded to part. So the company has disbanded and of course cancelled its engagement The Washtenaw Post of last week had in it this interesting little item : " Miss Hattie Kerr formerly of tlus place, but at present a missionary in India has sent to her sister, Mrs. Jacob Sturm, and her mother, iu Saline, a beautiful embroider- ¦1-iMnMi tuvlft_laJi ¦-¦ omIng wrapped up in a copy of the Codbikk, it made a long journey for that paper." One of the precocious youngsters who livcs not far from the First AVard in this city, while feeling, not long since, somewhat disconsolate and much abused, at last burst out with : " I don't care. I got tliree friends left." Whcn questioned as to who they were, he replied: "God, Frankie D- and the angels." That was pretty good company for Frankie D- to be In. The general verdict of satisfaction at the new post-office is a veiy pleasing one and it is amusing to hear the various speculations as to the cost of it. We are una l)le to see how the people found this out, as the ownerof it, who pays all the billa, will not himself know untll spring arrivés when the contractors shall have entirely completed their work and presented their bilis. _ The Saline Observer talks about " the preceptivequalitiesof the Cooribr man.'' We really cnn't see what our preceptive qualities had to do with hia cow, but we thank him all the same for explaining his oke and correcting his grammar to make t read "the boarding-house keeper would give her own weight in gold," etc. Evidently that cow was too heavy for our neighbor. Washtenaw eounty members at Lansing have been appointed on the followng committees: Senator Richmond is on he Appropriations and Finance, Reigious and Benevolent Soeieties, Banks and Corporations, Rules and Joint Rules. Mr. Gregory- Municipal Corporations, ?rinting, Towns and Counties. Mr. King- Agriculture, Northern Asyum for the Insane.

The president of the National, P. Bach, and W.McCreery a director, both live within a tone's throw of the street. Although it was a cold night Tuesday evenine, the thermometer must have dip)ed eonsiderably lower to have prevented he Baptist church from being crowded ivith citizens anxious to hoar Mr. Bain of Centucky. He has spoken here on temerance some eight or nine times, yet now fter the last speech he is, if that is possi)le, inore popular than ever. For about in hour and a quarter his forcible and onvincing eloquence held the attention of hose present. The general verdict is that tf those at present lecturing on tempernce he is the strongest in argument, the nost happy in his anecdotes, and the most loquent in his use of figures. The Register in its endeavor to keep as many employees as the Codrikr is disharging its older and more experienced ïands and substituting cheaper, henee less killful labor, Not long since its foreman n the press-room had to go, and last Saturday two of its oldest compositora, one he foreman, were told they did not have (vork enough for them. Evidently the december balance-sheet of the concern ïad too many figures on the wrong side, heiefore the retrenchment. Keep it up, )octors, even if it does take all your spare ocket-money. Haman's policy, though t last it hung him, made him happy ttiien ie thought he was building the gallows or another. Perhaps?
