The water of Salt river is very cold. A. L. Noble luis moved into his fine new residente on División st. Honey CMine mighty near sweetening lus opponent. Coal stores are cokl stoves no louger.

The COURIEB office being the lowegt bidder secured the Unlrersity printing again tliis year. By the shnutin? and huzza-ing about the court house Thursday last, oue might have mistaken the place for a ward caucus or something similar. The board of supervisors allowed D. Cramer 250 for bis services and the Anti Albor Pemocrat $100 for its services in suppressing the tramp nubance. L C. Kldson.T. F. Leonard. L. J. Lesimer, Eugeae ílelber. Juhn Hurg, K.

Tlie i'.tilroiids ot tliis state have all ngrecd to give rcduced rates - } for round trip - to the meeting of the state liortk'ultural society, to be held in this city on the lst, 2d and 3d of December. We liavc yet to bear of a wheelbnrrow bet bel n g made In t.his vid ti i ty. The re may be some pretty blg dunces in this section, but not any who were foolish enough lo entér into that sort of a wager. The Detroit papers claim Senator Kempf, of this city, as a "republican greenback.r." Mr. K.'s greenback principies are something like the república!) majoritics In the Solid South- mighty liard to lind. We must go from home to learn the news The Saline Observer tells us Ihat "Ypsilantians are revellng lu the-flltli of a oouple of terrible acandals." Tliaak you ; only for your telling us we should never have found it out. Overacker must have beeii to Ann Arbor lalely.- Ypsllantian. Oh! Deaftrdearl What wit'. Wbat wit! It is privately whispered around that there are fifteen "hungry democrats sneaking around" after the postoffice in this city. The expression used above is qnoted from tbat pure democratie apostle, Geo. Wo. Curtís. The Ann Arbor law aod order league has dlao ivered one delinquent; a woman charged wilh selling whisky without a government Hcense. ïTmt Js easv. Let thern catch somebody that tin.i a license, selling illegally. That tuey wlll fliul a dillicult job.- Ypsilantiau.

O'Hara. tlie colored congressman from North Carolina, who spoke at the first Kepublican eounty convention held in Ann Arbor tliis season, bas been returned to Congrcss from the 2d district of that state; the only Republican from that raemher of the solid South combination. The action of the democrats in celebrating Cleveland's election before the official count made it certain he was elected, was an inexcusable piece of brazen effrontry and braas. It was done with the Intent of forestalling public opinión and forcing him into the presidential chair, right or wrong. Rev. Wm. R. Alger of Boston, the eminent preacher and scholar, andauthor of "The Genius of Solitude," "Friendships of Women," "History of the Doctrine of a Future Life," "Poetry of the Oneut,"etc, will fill theUnitarian pulpit for the next three Sundays, preaching botli morning and eveniug. There is one thing Cramer deserves credit for. Instea'l of crawl ing into his JioJe aDd for a mollth or two over his overwhelming defeat, lie comes up smiliiig and helps the successful democracy shout oyee those they did elect. A democratie president, you understand, lias a greatmany offices to flll. Saturday night some persons thought they would do a cute thing by building a Cleveland bonfire under the nose of the postorüce officials, but the intended insult reacted upon them. A crowd of two or three trandred Blaine men surrounded the bonfire, cheered for Blaine, and held the fort natil said bcinfire collapsed. The M. C. llailway otters very desirable arrangements and low rates to tbose who are thinking of going lo New Orleans or Florida this winter, via Chicago or Toledo and Cincinnati.

November lö, under the ausnices of the Stulent's Lecture Association. He bandles lus subject, "An Evcning witli Hamlet and His Intcrpreters," in such a inasterly marnier so fnat at tile same time lie delights and instructs his htarers. He is pronounced to be one of the foremost orators of this geueration. His lecture will 'e illustrated by means of the oxy hydrofren light. Do not fail to hear him.

Several other return papers made hard work of Hill's cognoinen. Mis. Mary D. Underwood, formeily Miss Mary Du Boise, born in and for many years a resident of this city, died at lier home in Newton, Calhoun county on the 29th of October, of lleart disease, aged 27 years. Tliere are many friendo here of the deceascd who will be pained to learn thissad intelligence. Speaking of the democratie bluster about inaugurating Cleveland or going to war over it, a brave of our acquaiutance was lieard to remark: "Well, if worse comes to worse. I will shoulder my musket and marcli straight to- Canada." He would not be alone, no fear. No fear of war over the election, either. The south can not forcé us iuto another warjust vet. The manner in which the oro'wd of twenty or thirty roughs with canes and clubs pitched on to a colored fellow at the democratie meeting Saturday night was not extremely genteel. In tact it was Inhuman and cruel to pound any human being the way they did him, no matter what the provocation. AVhat the cause of his incurring the displeasure of the gang was, we do not know, btit we do know tliat any one who witnesscd the scène would not have to possess a very vivid imagination to portray in his mind some of the scènes tliat are reported fiom the south, wliere colored people have been murdered tor expressing their political sentiments. The democrats had their celebration in his city Saturday night, with fire-works, bonlires.oratorical pyrotechnics,sky-rockets, tin horns, and a racket that would ïave tingled the ears of a deaf-mute. Of course they wcre not sure that Cleveland vas elected, btit orders liad come from Chairman Barnura, of the democratie lational conimittee, via the Free Press office, to celébrate, so celébrate they must, nd celébrate they did. The fire works were very fine.but the balloon that went up so nicely at the start Uien careened over to one side, eaught tire, and ca.ne down to earth again qulcker than it ascended, was considered as typical of the party tliat sent it up. On account of the annoyance of havlng so many boys playlng on the streets nlghts, we earn that there is strong talk amoug the business and professional men of the village to haveanordinauce passed forbidding the boys frora lndulglng in sueh sport and to cause the arrest of uil boys found on the streets alter a certaln hoor, without a reasonable excuse for being there Ordiuarily such a law would be a blesslng, not onlv to tlie village but to the boys.- Enterprise. Sucli a law would be a blessing to the boys of every vülage or city iu the huid ifiteould be enforced The stieet is where tlie knowle'lge of crime and lieentiousness is learneil. The streets fill our prisons and our alms houses. If parents do not care enough for their own children to keep them atehorue evenings, and awny from ev!l influences, it might be well for the authorities of our villages and cities to take the matter in hand. By all means let us have such laws. Burtron D. Keith, of Jackson, wasniared to Miss Mabel A. Bushnell, at the esidence of the bride's parents, in Noble, iranch county, Mich., on Wednesda}-, iov. 5t)i. -V large number of relatives werc present at the ceremony, which was eiformed by I'ev. J. Bonne3', of Bronon. The young couple are passiiif? a )ortion of their honeymoon in Ann Ar)or this week, with relatives and friends, vho havo a warm place In their hearts ör them; and if good wishes could carry liem safely through the journey of lite, nd niake their pathway tliciein one of oses, they would mostcertainly beblessed n thiit manner. The groom is a son of athan Keith, of Dexter, and was bom nd biought up in that village, where ïosts of friends will approve of the kind vords above expressed. It has long been thought that old tin ans were good for nothing but to make litter in the yard or throw at the cat. But our domestic reporter tells the ladles ow to make them useful and beautiful : Take seven old quart tin caus. Wrap ach in a piece of old cloth (cotton), )lace thein in a circle with oue in the liddle, and bind them together very irmly with a piece of strong cloth the vklth of the can. Put a few pieceë of vadding over the top, and cover lirst with omething strong; then add as faney a over as yonr taste dictates. Very pretty nes have the tops covered with black elvet or broadcloth, with tlowers emroidered in the center. Around the side f the stool put a lamberquin of the lácrame, the fringe just touching the oor. Unless the twine ia very line leave n ly one space for ribbons." As is their custom on the second Tuesay in November the Students' Christian Association held public services in Uniersity hall, last Sunday evening. 'J'he peaker seleoted was Kev. F. N. Bristol, fTrinityM. E. church, Chicago. His udress, which was upon "How shall we ave our young men ?" was listencd to with the closest attention by the large udience present. In person slight, in ppearance young, it seemed peculiaiiy ppropriate for nim to recite the work nd the achievements of young men of abor and genius. This he did in a graeeui way, in an eloquent manner and with olished diction. Although speaking vith great rapadity he was perfectly unerstood even in the farthermost corners f the hall. The early part of the adress was devoted to recounting how in ie various fieldsof activity the great part f the work is being done by the young ïen. Upon this naturally followed the alling to mind of the brilliant discoveries, nventions, works and achievements of rtists, poets, painteis, scientists, and genrals. whileyct on the sunny sido of' lifc. And then the greatness and importancc of ie field was pointed out to the S. C. A. i exhorting them to work for the great ossibilities In their line of action. I act it was just such an address as would ouse enthusiasm and zeal in the hearts f his hearers. Seldom too, has there een a more eloquent speaker in this city.
