How The Treasurer Manages

From the Jackson Patriot. The Auditor-General's books of this State show that $60,000 of the million surplus, kept conveniently on hand by the Republicana, ia deposited in the First National Bank of Battle Creek. The President of tbis fortúnate bank is the present State Tieasurer. This circumstance - one of the several that would naturally occur in farming out the extraordinary and entirely unsuccessful surplus mentioned above - suggests an easy solution of the probleui of how MoCreery, of Flint, oould be induced to dispense with a situation at a salary of $3,000 per annum to accept another situation of $1,000. Probably he was influenoed to so unbusiness-like an action on account of tb ose " Southern difficulties," occasioned by the failure of reconstruction as conducted by the Eepublican party. There were seven infants entered for the baby show prizes at the Monroe County Fair Thursday. They attracted the undisguised admiration of a large crowd. The first prize, a silver cup, was awarded Peal, tour months old, daughter of Mrs. Lucia Younglove, of Éaisinville. The happy mother is a gradúate of the State Normal Schooi, and a distinguished professor in that institution who was present at the fair, declared that Mrs. Younglove had reflected deserved credit on her alma mater. The second prize was awarded to the little son of Mrs. Laudenslager, of Monroe. Rufus R. Hall, of the township of Tecurnseh, recently sold two steer calves just six months old, which weighed 1,000 pounds. One weighed 508 pounds and the other 482 pounds. They were of the Durham breed.
