Not one ton of flour was shipped from Manchester last year. Is it not a burnlng shame? What we need, and must have, Is a good mili.

The following serious warning to husands comes from the Manchester Enterprise: " The reason that trade is so light with onr merchants is, when the farmer omes to town he is so tired that hc climha upon a dry goods box to rest and when ested he is in such a hurry to get home hat he has no time to do any trading. If lis wife comes to town, the pocket-book las to open, she won'tsit on a box, not uuch." There are acouple or tliree persons in own of the female persuasión who think hey are rather giddy and are certainly voung, who hold midnight carnivalí at he cèmetery and other places and even on the maiu streets, who should be looked after by our marshal. Their names are withheld this time but if they continue hey will receive a write-up in these columns with full particulars attached.- South Lyon Picket. Tut! tut! That will nevcr do ! Mr. E. M.

There were received 4,518 tons, for which was collected $7,037. 11,509 tickets were sold valued at $6.252.

After the close of school for the smnmer it has always been a noticeable fact each year that the school yard becomes covered with a rank growth of grass and weeds. This year is nolexception, although it is plain to be seen that some places in said yard, particuliirly those nearthe trees, are quite barren. Some of our citizens think the barrenness is caused by dry weather, but to the best of our judgmentitis caused by the yard being the abode of evil spirits, whose voio.es can be plalnly heard by persons passing 1mtween the hours of 8 and 11 p.m. The disturbance is nothing, but for the benefit of the lawn some Beats should be erected.- Dexter Leader. The Ypsilanti Polo Club of last year hal reorganized and extended the purpose of their organization. Tliey have leased the room on Congress street lately occupied by the Band of Hope, and are iitting it up n elegant and costly style. The front part of the hall will be used as a club room, and will be separated f rom the back part by a curtain.

A station house has been built we have wondercd why it was not locatcd on the niain track, and wherelu the convenience lay in havinv it where it is. Agent Hitchcock suys he used all hls lnfliiencc at the time to have it built on the otlier side of the track, and has been subjectcd to a continual line of inconvenience ever since on account of its present situation. Every partiële of merchandise freight received or shipped luis to be lifted over the side track to the platform, not only wasting time ot agent and traiiimcu, but is very hard work oompared with what t would be if nearer the platform. We think if the oltltene woulil take hold of the matter the company coulil be influenced to nuike the desired change It certainly would be more convenient lor our citizens in many ways, and would assist wonderfully in keeoiiiL' irnnH
