A street railwny in Ann Arbor would raise the value of property the minute the cars were running. That seven foot-fence on the new bridge ia appreciated by those driving fractious teams, and doesn't look so bad af ter all. Go to the opera house to-night and hear Gov. Alger, Capt. Allen and Mrs. Hazlett. They are all good speakers, and you will be highly entertaincd. The new engines on the T. & A. A. R.

Hack & Schmid Uavlng purchased the wool of nearly all the buyers hereabouts sold it recently to a western mili located in the Mississippi valley. There were 600,000 pounds of it, enough to load a large train. This has been a strange scason for fruit growing. We have had seeond crops of 8trawberries and raspberries, and now Andrew Bell sends us a beautiful large stem of Northern Muscatine grapes half grown or more, of the second erop. The Evening Record, of Amsterdani.N. T.. under date of Oct. lth contains an extended account of the death of Mrs. David De Forest, Sen., au old resident of that place, and an aunt of A.

A pretty souvenir printed on corn husks had a large sale. The terraces of the M. C. R. R. grounds have been sodded, nearly, and present a haudsome appearance from the railroad tracks. The view from the north side of the new depot will certainly be very tine - the finest of any, it is believed, on the line of the M. C. R. R. The depot building itself is the handsomest one In the western states. By the Rocky Mountain Colt, Denver, Col., it is noted that Albert S.

Monday evvening he delivered an address before the Hobart Guild. On Saturday next, Lorin Mills, who has been a resident of this city since its infancy, leaves for Manhattan, Kansas, to spend the remaining years of his lite with a daughter residing there. There is general rogret at losing such a pleasant and respected citizen. Mr. Mills was the flrst superintendent of the Congregational Sunday school of this city and last Sunday the members of that organization hung a life-sized portrait of bim on their walls, as a compliment for his past service?. That being his last Sabbath with them he gave thote present a history of the Sunday school from its inception to the present day, which was greatly enJoyed. The Metropolitan If-motaoturiag Co., of Juckson, Mich., bas bad DM" canvassing the city for the past two week3 r so, selling rngs. These men applied for i license to the Recorder, bot declined to pay whnt theordlnance required, and ko went on taking orders without a license. Last Thursday a warrant ffll issued for their arrest, and they were brought before Justlce Pond last Friday, tried by a jury, found guilty and ilnd $10 and #12 80 costs, which they paid. This may, possibly, le a warning to a lot of peddlers who have been selling articles about this city without any license therefor. An example of thii kind has been needed for jomo time. Thcre will be a crowd to-night at the opera house. The supervisors were handsomcly entertained at tea last Thusday p. m. by Mayor Roblson.

Pate is to take a business trip to New York, in the interest of Clias. Thayer's patent car coupler- an invention with much merit, by the way. The stories about republicans trading tbeir county ticket all come from fusionUts. Can you guess why they are telling these lies? Their cauae must be desperate. F The Sunday edition of the Chicago Tribune wül henceforth be sold on the streets by eight o'clock Sunday morning. About a thousanl dailies, are now sold in town Sundays. Willie, a young son of Geo.

A prominent democrat wanted to bet a republican $10 that tliis county would elect the fusión ticket. Said democrat is one of our richest citizens and often bets. If he had been confidentof success, his $10 would have been $100. And yct there is a democratie majority in this county of from 800 to 1,200! The story is told that at Ypsilanti Saturday night, Mr. SaUbury's reception was not encouraging. The hall was wellhllcd, and the audience listened attentively to Mr. Whitman's speech. When Ir. Salsbury was introduced the audience began to get restless, and before his peech was ended it is asserted that there were not much over 100 left In the room.

If a ïan wants to take his llquor home In a ug and drink it no one will object," said prominent prohibitlonlst of this city, 0 the writer of this item. All there is f prohibition then is an attempt to transer the purchasing of liquors from the iloon to the drug store? Wül the benfits of such a transfer be of sufflclent uiportance to pay for the bitter light beig made. During the recent visit here of the lexican Typical Orchestra, Miss Virinia Law, a native of Mexico, took adantage of the opportunity to cali upon ie wife of one of the members of the onipany, who was stopping at the Frankn House.
