Prof. Harrington telegrapUed the Detroit Eveiiing News Thurstliiy, lliat tbe new cornet discovered by Mr. Sehaeberie, of tbis city, is now in the constellation of Amiga, nearly half way from Theta to Beta of that cousteliatiou aud a little to the left of a line joining those two stars. It is travcling slowly northwest. It rises about 1 o'clock In the rnorniog, and is faintly visible with a small opera glass, and is small and nebulous wi'.h a short tail, üut no distinct nucleus. It ib growing slowly brighter and may beconie visible to the uaked eye, but this is as yet uusafe to predict. So far as heard from theeredit of the discovery still rests wilh Mr. Schaeberle. .lust before the town clock struck six Tuesday evening, the alarm of lire was given, 5nd soon nfter largo volumes of smokc were seen in the diroction of the Couriei building, and people ata disfancc first thought tbe priabLng office was on tire. It proved, however, tg be Kitredge's baru on Second streel, in the reur of bis residence. The department was soon on hand, butowingtothe combustible nature of the building it was soon cousumed with some 10 tons of hay, a lot of carpenter tools, harneases etc. Mr. Kitredge places his loss at $1,000 on which tbeie was an insuraace of $500 in the JStna. The flre was evidcutly caused by some small boys, who had but a few moments before ils discovery been playing in tut barn. Last Saturday morning a horse and earriase owned by Jno. Finnegan was hilched iu front of farmer Kearns' residence, some three miles from tho city, wben a young man, who ufterwards gave his name as Alfred Burminghaiii uutied tbe horse and drove off. He was followed to this place, when officer Clarken was requested to rencw the chase, and hc started in the direetion of Whitmore Lake, tbe road the thiuf was teen to take. Tlie oflieer came up with him at the residence of Frank Butterfield, somt two miles north of the lake where he bad stopped for something to eat. Bürmlngnam wnanested and brought back to jail. His eiaujination came off before justice Winegar, who held the prisoner f jr trial to tho circuit court. Keferring to tbe faet that no encampmeut of state troops will take place, that battle-scarred veterau, adjulant Willis Heri'itt, wbo has been iuterviewed by the Record, says: "I regrel that the board lius adopled this course. lts effect will prove disastrous to the L'e&t interest ol the regiment. It will, iu a great measure take aw ly tbe chief iuducemeuts held out by the state for the men to become pro ficienl in the service. In my opiuiou the stiite had better hve fewer tnilitiumcn it Hecessary, and beller ones, and carry out the intent of the stalute. To add more compauies to the service at the veiy time when the military fuud proves itself loo small for the pieseul service, is simply uucalled lor. The Vorktowu mattei sounds well, but it will have a bad efleci upon the service. It will wind up with the cry of favoiitism, aud theu i disas trous reacliou will take place." l'he adjutaut is uboul right. - [Adrián Press Geo. P. Sanford, of the Lansing Jotrfnal, who was present at the re-uniou of his old class of 'Cl in wnting up tbe meui beis has the following to say of Prof Per ry: "Waker S. Perry bus taught iioin graduation to date. He is now, and bas been fora do.en ycars, superintendent ui the Ann Arbor schools. In college he was a close, accurate scholar, well read in general lileniture, a forcible writer, and an able debater, The high promise ui bil college days is fully met by bis eminent success as an edueator. JFor years he has stood in the very front rank of Michigau's public scliool teachers, and his eminent success in organizing and managing; iul lic schools piove him lo possess admiu istrative abilities of a high order. He bas left hi.s indelible impress upon the depart inent of public insti uction by his years ol earueut labor, charucterizcd by breadth of view and high character. As au educaloriu the department of the public schools, Prof. Perry surpusses auy olhcr member ()♦ the class. His earnest, cordial, aud failhful character as a student is npened and broadened with years. He aud his accomplished wife unterlaiurd tin: class in a truly cordial and hospilable manuer." Hev. F. A. Ulades, some years ago was pastor of the M. E. church in tbis city, and his miiny old frieuds here will enjoy the followiug: "Kather a laughable occurrence took place in Detroit on Ihc 18th of last month. Hev. Francia A. IJladcs, U. S., appraiscr of merchaudisc for the port of Detroit, having come to a conclusión on that duy that a sail on the river would be about the correct thing to recruit his wasled cnergies, after ihe exhausting cares (?) of his office in manipulatingljtb Dist. congressional and senator lal nominations, at a salary of three thou san.l dollars per annum - cbartered a snil buat and crüised about the river the greatn part of the afternoon. Coming into porl towards evening, near the toot of Bales St., he tried to run dowu the steam barge Manitoba, failing iu that, he next tried the tug Pacific and succeeded in swamping his own boat. The Keverend appraiser was under water for some little time but was finally lished out by one of the men on Ihe tug Pacific in rather a crest fallen aud dilapidated condition. Quite a crowd had by this time collected on the doek, ainong tbeni mauy friends of the appraiser. Mr. Blades, however, "stood not upon the order of his going,'1 but hastily called a coupe and was rapidly driveu towards home, a sadder, wiser and a wetter man . The laughable afluir is still talked over by Mr. Ji's friends, aud it is said he came down hundsomely to the local papers, lor not a word in regard to the occurrence has appeared in any of tlieni.'
