A II1IKMI. BY Kl.J.I.X SOÜLK CABIIAHT. "They enjoyed the unnsu.il pitas ure of mutually un.lei standing each other, both in theirjcsts and in eurnest.

After long, weary montha of patiënt waiting Dr. Siillivan has received hls fces 1 1 mu the state a8 coroner for holding the Inquest on the body of the Arizona man, Walker, wlio hung hiinscll' at the jail rather than to go back and stand trial. Two years ago the nevvspaper men had the American Association for the Advancemunt of Science to rite ,up, and a year ago they had the Peninsular 8aengerbund, but now, alas! they have nothing! without they branch off on gas - and Umi' so commou. O. L. Matthews had seven pension claims allowed during the last week, which he considers a pretty good record. He does not conline hisefforts to Waslitcnaw couuty any longer, but prosecutes claims all over the state, and keept thiee clerks to atlend to the correspondence. Supervisor Braun, of Ann Arbor town, thouglit he would tiud out how hot it was on the u heat stack that he was putting up last Friday. So he put a thermometer on the sunny side and güinjr to look at it live minutes afterward, he found the ïnercury liad ot mad about it and broken tiie glass and run out. Meu are at work on the building for flie new evapora! ing, jellyin; and canning works, which are to be located just West of the Central Mills of Allinendintcr & Sehueider. An evaporater lias been temporar'y se' "P in the Central Mills, and t'''s finn have already taken care ol several hundred bushels of berries. The peach erop will be cared for in the mv building, but nocanning will be done this year. This is an enterprise of niudi worth to our fruit growers, and its success is of importancii to all of our citizení, who will be glad to learn of its starting out. The time is coming when the pioneer rooms in the court house house will be without a keeper, and the long continued illness of Lorenzo Davis, who has been the head and front of the fine eollecUoB now gathered therein, proves how lonelOOM It will be when the doors to this room are closed for good. In this pioneer collectiou are many valuable relies of the earliest days of Ibis couuty and statt', many relies that have 110 uioney value, for n o money could replace thein should they be destroyed in any way. Now the (juestiou is what will beconie of these things eventually? It bas been euggested that the university ought to devote a room or seetion in its museum to the pioneer, and offer tocare for and protect tor all time to come, these things which are really a part of the history of our county. In themselves, perhaps those old spinning wheels, and reels, and hetchels, and cIocks and the thousaud and one things are of little worth in dollars uu', cents, but they teil a story that no pen can describe. They teil of the hard days of toil by our fathers and mothers when this was a wilderness; of their privatiuns and sorrows; of the home-spuu clotbea and the old log house that was a palace in tliose times. The county pioneer toot ety, whose property this collection is wóuld, we feel sure, be willing to turn it over to the university authorities on conditiou of ita being kept intact and properly cared for. It is to be hoped that soinething of the kind may be done to preserve it, and to preserve it fiere where our children and the generations to come uiay see it whenever they desire to.

Strange what a great chance one little typojiraphicnl error will make.
