Wo handed him the Leader, with the re" mark that it would puzzle hiin to find the adrertisement of a tailor in the AEGU3. And he ditlii't find what he looked for in the Leader, either, and we feit consoled that Dexter tailors were no more enterpvising t'uan those of Ann Arbor. The Detroit Leader, of which our oíd local intemporary, S. B. McCracken, is editor, thus corrects a líttle Argus history given in our issue of the 17th inst. : Although'not directly in our line, we beg to :orrect the Ann Arbor Argus' history of itself. The present pubiisher is really publishing the third instead of the second Argus. The copy ut which he speaks - July, 1837 - was the original Argus, of which E. P. Gardiner was editor. Somewhere about 1839 the paper passed into the hands of Dr. T. N. Galkins, who changed its name, calling it the Democratie lierahl. He "muit into the ground," and sold out to the abohtionists. A second Argus was started in the winter of 1843, of which Mr. Gardiner, who was then county clerk, was for a time editor, but not pubiisher. In lStó the " Young Deraocracy " become rampant in Washtenaw, controlledthe party organizations, captured the Argus, and changed its name to the Trve Democrat. The " Old Hunkers," however, did not propose to surrender so easily, and the present Arffiis was gotten up under their patronage, Ooie & Gardiner being the editors and pubIisher8. The present editor of the Argus has seen some rough plowing among the great unwashed of Washteuaw, but nothing to compare with the memorial struggles of the Young Democracy and the üld Hunkers. It is really none of our concern, but "the truth of history should be vindicated," and the Argus should not be suffered to dweil in such ignorance of its own pedigree. Mac's acquaintance with the Aeotts dates back arther than ours. The farmers of Sharon have arranged for a Harvest Festival to be held in the grove on the farm of D. G.

The Sharon farmers have had several of these annuul festivals, and they have ahvays been reported enjoyable occasions. We hope to personally "test" the coming one. Our devil has a greedy appetite for "locáis" and adventures, and this ia the last report hebringsus: Sometime during Wednesday night, Mrs. Taylor, a colored woman living in '; Wax Hollow," down the raüroad, wokeup to find a man at the foot of her bed, with a b.ed quilt underhis arm, whicli he said he had stolen and offered to give m payment for a night's lodging. She ordered him out, but he refused to comply. She then claimed to be sick, went out after water, aud aroused the neighbors. Going to her house, the man had absquatulated, but was found concealed by the roadside. His capturers - Mr. Quinlan and Morris Crawford, colored - proceeded with him toward the jail, but before getting there Quinlau left for an offlcer, wben the stranger drew a pistol or knife, at which Crawford struck him and let him run away carrying the quilt with him. Xo arresi has beon made. The other day a young lady in Philadelphia became so inuch embarrassed by a pioposal from her lover that, in her agitation, she swallowed a needie. Youug men cannot be too cautious about such tuings. They should never ïuake such propositions to girls until they have thorougbly examined their mouths to see whether they have any needies in them or not. The very smartest woman has at las been diBcovered. She lives in New Hamp shiro, ia ninety-three years old, and on a recent Saturday evening vigorousl; spanked an assortment of her descendants as follows : One own child, seventeen grand chüdren, twenty-two great-grand cnildren, and 011a great-great-grand child. On Thursday of last week a telegram was I recoived by Judge Beakes announeing the death at Chicago of a former resident and prominen business man of this city, Wii.liam M. SinCI.AIE. Hia death was caused by dropsy of the heart, aud lus brief sickness not having been known to his many friends here, ita sudden anc fatal ternmiation was a greet surprise. Mr Sinclair came to this city from the State of New York in 183S, and continually resided here until a few years since. As the proprietor of " Sinclair's Mills," one of the best of the many fine milis along the Hurón, he had built up a prosperous and profitable business, and hac won the confidence of the farming public as well as of business men' generally. He was bom in Bellfast, beland, in September 1810 and was, therefore, in fhe 64th year of his age His remains were brought to this city for interment In Forest Hill Cemetery ; the funeral services were held on Saturday, at 6 p. m , in St Andrew's Church, and just at the hourof sundoivn the last words were said over his open grave. Mr. Sinclair leaves a. widow, daughter, sou, and numerous other relatives, who have tho sj-mpatliies of our community in their bercavement. We appcnd the following resolutions, submitted by E. B. Stevens, Est}., and unanimously id.nptod ly the Chicago Board of Trade, at a meeting held on the 24th inst. : Wilebeas, We have been pained to learn of the death of Mr. William M. Sinclair, for several years past a member of this Board, and one of our aimost daily associates ; therefore be it Jicmlvcd, That we would mournfully record our high appreciation of tho good qualities of Mr. Sinclair, his association with us being always marked by evidences of an upright and honorable character, and in social lifO none stood higher in the estimation ot all who knew him. Resolved, That while we would convey to his bereaved widow and children our deepest sympathy in their sorrow, we would remind them that in coutemplatmg tho lifo of our departed fiioml they have the satisfaction of rememberinpt h e was a husband and father of whose nicmoiy tliey may well be proud. Ilesolrcrl, That the resolutions bo engrossed on the records of this Board, and a copy be forwnrded to the widow of the deceased. A true copy from the records. CHAS. RANDOLPH, Secretary. Senator E lame has written a letter, nominally for the ear and eyes of hia constituents, accepting a nominatiou for the Forty-fourth Congress, bt really designed as a md for the presidential numiuatiou of 1876. - Ann Arbor Argus. We had supposed that Mr. Blaine had served as Speaker of the House for several se3sions. If our memory dou't lead us astray ho is Speaker of the present Congress. The Akous made a great ado hecause we chanced in relating a little incident concerning Jonathan Edwards, to use the term President when it should have been .Professor. And that was a circumstance oí a century ago. But it would seem that poor Pond is ignoraut even of the commonest events in cotemporaneous liistory. We would advise him to read Matthew vii. 3. - Ypsilanti Commercial. If our pumpkin-headed friend of the Comnier: dal (we trust the pumpkin will excuse us) had read the article through from which he extracta the first sentence, he would have noticed that Mr. Blaine was spoken of no less than five times as "speaker," and, perhaps, have mistrusted a mere typograihical enor. Besides, is our cotemporary at all certain that his last revisión of history is in accordance with the f acts? What profe&sorship did Jonathan Edwarda ever hold in Yale, and when ? The Courier, of this city, brought out two candidates for State offices last week, Hou. Kowxaxd E. Trowbiudge, exniember of Congress, but now superintendent of Zack Chaxdler's farm, for Auditor General, and Hon. THOS. D. Lane, of Saletn, in this county, for Member of State Board of Education. We think that Mr Trowbridge would be an improvement üpon the present incumbent. As to Mr. Lane, his lack of success in coutrolling the politics of Salem in recent years hardly entitles himto the honor proposed, though a worse man for the place is more than likely to be selected.
