"we Were Happy Scool Fellows Together Near Fifty Years Ago!"

sented on the 7th inst. by our old friend, Mr. David Depue, of Pitsfield, and Mr. Charles Allmandinger of Lodi, with a Taluable relie - a very neat little mallet made from a swamp oak beam taken out of the first school house of Washtenaw County, erected in 1825 in the town of Pitsüeld near Mallet's creek, and between that and Carpenters' corners, but tsometime since removed. We understand that a slab, suitably inscribed, is to be cut from the same beam for our County Historical Society. There are persons still living in the vicinity who will recall with pleasure the many religious services that used to be held in that old log school house, to say nothing of singing schools and other neighborhood gatherings; and a kindly throb will púlsate through the heart at the thought of the departed once living and moving among us, but now covered by the dust of death - the boys and girls of " Auld Lang Syne," M. H. C. The Misses Clark's School. Ann Arbor, November, 1874. We invite attentiou to the prospectus of the New York Evening Post for 1 875. The several editions of the Post are good newa jouruals, and in addition have a litera ry character peculianly their own, and of a very high order, showing the influence of the venerable Bryant. Politically the Post is Republican, though not in full sympathy with the leading measures of the party. In fact, the antipathy it holds against soma oíd Democratie measures (and which induces it al. ways to spell Democrat with a small d) is the only thing that induces it to act with the Republican party. But politics aside it is one of the best literary and family papers, either daily or weekly, published. The Ypsilauti correspondest of the Detroit Post, says : A serious accident occurred here at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon. It seems that of late boys have been in the practice of jumping on and off freight trains passing this station. Since the completion of the doublé track most of the freight trains going east have run the station except when it was necossary to stop for wood or water, or to take or leave something. Yesterday as a train that had stopped here was going out a boy 12 years of age, named William Malion, juniped on a freight car and rode a short distance. In getting off the car in some way he missed his foothold and feil under the car, the wheels passing over his left arm near the elbow, and his leit leg near the knee. He was picked up and carried to his father's residence near by, and a counsel of physicians oalled. It was decided by them not to ampútate the injured limbs, as he could not live long. Late last night it was thought that they would ampútate them, but death ensued soon after the operatiou. It was said by all the doctors present after the accident that he could not survive, and it was a wonder to all that he lived as long as he did, oonsidering the injuries. Boys catching on the trains here have been a great annoyance, and the railroad officials at this point have done their best to keep them off the trains, and it is hoped that this will serve as a warning to some of the boys. We find the following item in one of our exchanges : The other evening, at Ann Arbor, Mr. Geo. W. Juliau, after making a speech on Woman Sufirage, aaked if any one objeoted. A Mr. S , rose and said, "Yes." The University boys commenced cailing out " speech ! speech ! !" But Mr. S - - didu't care to make a speech and only solicited the honor of presenting Mr. Julián a book of his, which would completely demoliah the suffragists. The next day the sprightly Mrs. H met him, and cxclaimed, "Why! Mr. S , I'm sorry that you want to hinder Woman Suffrage. " O," said he, " I shant try to hinder it any more than I would try to stop a flood. I could ouly stand on the bauk and see everything rush by." " Well," was the quick reioinder, " I hope you wout fall in and make a suag of yourself."
