The present city council will have to wrcstle witli a hirge number of street opeuiiig cases and wlth one or two street widening cases. All of whicli betokens a liealthy growth of the city. Not a street has been opened by the council for the past half dozen years hut it has well paid for the expense in improvements and new houses. It paya to be liberal in this direction. Any permanent imnrovenient adds to the value of every piece of property in the municlpallty. An exchange snys: No one expects to buy a postage stamp on credit. If he has not the money to pay for one he can nut mail a letter. No orje expects to buy a rai'way ticket on credit. If he has no money to pay liis la re in advance he must remaia at home. The like is true in regard to riding in street cars. Tickets to places of amusement are not sold on time, but for spot cash. No trouble occuis on account of these arrangements, and none would occur if every retail store conducted business like a poatofflce, railroad or theatre. We learn that the barn on the farm of George Sutton, of Northfield, was burned last evening, and report says tbat four hor8es and considerable of the contents were alo burned.

One span of boifea was valued at $400. Insured In the Washtenaw Mutual for $1,000. The tire was the work of an incendiary. TheXorlhampton (Mass.)

Engrossed in the demands of hls own business, he stil] takes the requisita time to meet the appointments which his public trust8require. lie basabroad experlence of property values and knowledge of credits." Jacob Qanzhorn of this city writes for the April Crop Report sent out by the State department as follows: "In this locnlity nothing in the fruit line iniured. Peach buds in prime condltion. I mention this fruit in particular because the buds started a trifle early in the winter. Although the apple has not been injured a tull crop cjinnot be expected as the trees bore a heavy crop last year and a full crop the year before; under sueli circumstances not over a moderate crop can be looked for this year. It is a critical time for fruits when in blossom. The weather then must be favorable for the setting of the fruit. By June this period wlll have been passed, and not till then can a proper estímate of the fruit crops be made." Ever since the T., & A. A. It. R. was completed from Leland's Station through Hamburg and Howell, the branch of the road running to South Lyon has been merely a side track. But under the law the railroad company is obliged to run one train a day over it. To comply with that law an engine has been kept at this place that hus taken a coinhination car and run to South Lyon and back in the morning. Of course the train was of little or no service to the public. Along the line of i his road are many suhscribers who nave liberally to have it huilt, that thev might have the advantnges of a railroad, and as a consequence they have been fceling pretty blue over the outcome. Recently a large petition, signed by almost every farmer and business man at South Lyon, Ann Arbor and the ínterveuing territory asking that the road be put in good repair, and that better train service be given, was forwarded to the authorities of the road. Now comes President Ashley and liles a petition in the circuit court asking that the railroad company be allowed to abandon this branch of their line, and take up their ties, tracks and buildings. The reason given is that the road is of no value, but a serious expense. What the outcome will be remains to be seen. The Gr.iud Trunk ought to huy that branch and bulld a line through to Toledo, or somewhere.
