Water is being piped by the Water Co. from a couple of springs a mile further up atream to the receiving basin. It will probably be manyyeara beforethe works will be subjeuted to anotlier such a test. Last Sunday was the first anniversary of Rev. 8. Erp's rectorehip of 8t. Andrew's cliurch.

The democratie county committee has issued a cali for a county convention to be held at Ann Arbor on Wednesdav. August llth, to elect delegates to ie state nominating convention, and delégate to the convention of the 2d congresslonal district.

H lid girl eompelled the young man to bet all bis money on the Detroits, and Ina rtrapprd eradMon he songht Col. O. W. Ruggles, gen. pass. agent of the M. C. H. R, and begyed for passes home. The str.rv is a fiibrlcation. No young man went Trom here ; no Ann Arbor young timn would take his best girl to Chicajio ui.der any circumstances; when thcy do go from here on excursión tickets they always keep the return end ofsaid ticket lutheir po k.-ts and Ann Arbor boya never bet to lose.

B. Rose has invented a new sonp that takes the dirt off anything extant from a dlrty youngster to a dlrty shirt. He calis it "ammonia soap," und already extensive companieshave been formed to manufacture it.

On Wednesday eveninfr, at about 7 o'clock, Harry Nickels, together with two companions were making pretty good speed down Huron street on their bieycles.

Archer and liis wife have not llvecf together for some time, being unable to agree. He owns a small fruit farm a mile or o west of the city, and Mrs. Archer with some (or all) of the cliildren, six in number, live in a house near Foster's station. The cause of the shootinjr is sald to have been a dispute over a dock, whtch she had in her possesgion which he claimed. On Monilay evening last, at the reaidence of the bride's parents, on N.
