Wfaen the Gth ward fire company committee comes around to you for scme flnancial assistance, chip in something and help the enterprise along. It is a necessity that needs all the encouragement yon can give it. Instead of the regular sermón at the Congregational church last Sabbath eveuing, President Angell gave an excellent account of the doings of the meeting of the board of foreign missions of that church, recently held at Columbus, Oiiio Miss Mary BUncber and Mr. John Ibler, of this city, were married at the residence of the brkle's sister, Mrs. John Pfisterer, on Liberty st, last evening, Rev.

Another that took the popular eye was: " Our Pathtinder, John C. Fremont; eight Majoriry for him in this City in 185(5; we'll do better by Jas. G. Blaine Nov. 4tli. One of the flnest and best political speeches ever delivered in Aun Albor, WM given by Gen. Wm. H. Gibson, of Olüo, at the opera house Monday night to a larga audience. Tlie speaker made his pointe well - every one clear and clean cut. His comparisons were simply superb, his witticismsextremely amusing, his logic convincing, his stories without parallel. A better natured audience never went away froni a hall than was that audience when he got through. If he ever comes here again hu will meet wilh an ovation. Reuben Kempf is a ?aan in whom every citizen of Washtenaio can taken juslpride as a meinber of the senate. Last Fridayniorn ing, at about 1 o'clock, lire broke out in the large woolen factory of Cornwell Bros., of this city, at Foster's station, about three miles west of Ann Arbor, and the entire structuro was burned to the ground, together with about 20,000 pounds of wool and a lot of manufactured goods. Tae loss is estimated at about $45,000, with $18,750 iüsurance. Policies of upwards of $7,000 expired a few days previous to tlie lire and were not renewed. Orders were in sufflcient to have kept the uiill running six months yet. The cause of the lire is not known. It originafed in the store room, and although discovred early, little or nothing was sa ved. The Messrs. Cornwella think of rebuilding in the spring. The skating riuk opened again last Friday tvening, the atmosphere bcing a little more propitious for the exercisc. Notwitstanding the various counter attractions there was a good crowd present. Mr. J. M. Cook, the champion trick and fan cyskater, gave som excellent evidencesof his ability inthatline. Mr. Wyman has secured 100 pairs of the famotis Wilkic skates for his patrons, and is doing all in his power to make the rink an attractive resoit for the young people of this city, and his efforts should iiieet with a cordial support. Ann Arbor now has one of the best floors and best rinks in the state. It Is large, well lighted with two electric lights, the Chequamegon orchestra fiirnish beautiful music, ind taken all togetiier a more pleasant and charming place of entertainment would be hard to tiud. Pnces of admission have been reduced to the lowest living ratee. The rink will hereafter be open every afternoon f rom ' until 6 o'clock. Gen. Gibson paid his compli rnents to Mr. Eldredge Monday eveuing, in a very keen, cutting wa3', and yet smooth and pleasant. It seems tliat Eldredge in private convcrsation tliat day, had referred to the general as a man recently fiom Canada, where he went as a defaulter. The btory was of the same kind that the democrats are telling in this campaign, a sheer fabrication, a square ap and down lie, bald-laced in the bargain. The speaker said he was born in Ohio, had always lived there, and never sbould live in any other state. He liad lived in the county where he now resides ever since he was live months old, and witli two exceptions was the oldest pioneer in his county. That he never had been out of the state in his life, exccpt for a period of four years and thiee months, when he was absent in the southern state. helpinjj put down a rebellion against the life of tlie country, brought on by democrats. His marnier and words took with the audience aud cheer after cheer greeted his "explanation."
