A few days beïo:-e the election, Smith met the 'non partlaan.' standard-bearer and sugested that he was a queer representative of the ministerial ty, inasmuch as he had the reputation for the careless use oflanguage. 'That is all right,' rejilied the candidate, 'I have quit STrearing.' 'Quit ! You can't quit ! It isn't in your make up to quit,' said Smith. 'But, by ■ , I teil you I have quit !' exclainied the candidate - and his earnestness satisi'ied Smith." Tor a long time there has, bet veen F. F. Tucker and Geo.

The Chelsea Standard makes thisobservation : 'Parents Avlio take Ihiii1 chlldren out of school b fore thry have finished thelr educiition, to set them to work, or to let them lean soms trade, as so many do yearly make the greatpst mlstake possible and one w-Men tliey will all sometime regret. This is one of the most erroneous notions of coonomy one can conceive, and the example o liundretls who now regret this error, can be cited as evidence of this fact. Leave your children in school uniil they have learned all they can, no matter how hard you sLruggle with poverty, and your eiforts -svill sometime be paid a thousanj fold." Tho new democratie supervisor of Sylvan is given the following send off by the Chelsea Herald : "Hiram Lighthall, our uewly elected supervisor was born at Akron, Erie ty N. Y., April 11, 1851. His parents were engaged in agricultural pursuite and Mr. Lighthall worked on the farm vmtil lie was 18 years old. when he learned the carpenter and joiner's trade, and was eniployed at that for 8 years.

After severing lus connection with that concern, he e-ta!li-hfd the Clielsea Planlng and Saw Mili, which lie Btill continúes to run. Mr. Lighthall is a democrat whose exertions have added strength to his party in this county. He has acceptably filíeíl a number of village oil'ices. Bocially he is as plea.sant as a June morning. He possesaes the quallfications necessary to make a popular supervisor." HOW THE VK.MiS Fl.V ! The following, elipped froni the Sharon correspondent of the Manchester Enterprise, will be persned -svith ] interest by some of out readers : It has been said, naught steals so silent as the foot oï time. AVe never realized the saying so fully as when we heard that our neiglibor, I?. IC. Fellows ivas 59 years old Wednesday. Those we live beeide irom year to year grow old apace, yet we are slow to see the changes time brings to us, lor ''the years steal sornething every day ; at last they s'.eal us from ourselves ;nv;i,v." Mr. Fellows was bom in filiaron, Washtenaw county, Michigan terrltory, March 28, 1835, and lias noíed the advancement of the country of "ye olden time," up to the present. He attended school for the first time in 1840 with Miss Cyntliia Fisk, ïiow Mrs. Addison Hunt of Norvell, as teacher. The building was a crude aifair, since owned by lïarney Limbert, and was reduced to ashes last August. As bui few could recall the succeetUng teachers' mi namcs, we shall give them as they are known to-day.

Yesterday afternoon a few minutes bfcfore 6 o"clock occurred the death of Frank Pattee at his home on Chicago ave. The deceased was taken sick I Monday morntng and gradually sunk in stn-ngth till dea,th claimed him. He was conscious to the last, however, and recügnized and bid good bye to his many friends who called upon him Saturday and yesterday. Mr. Pattee was 45 years of age and had been a resident of this vicinity since boyhood. During the late rebellion he served on the cause of the right with Co. A, llth Mich. Cav., for 2 years and 17 days and was only mustered out when the war closed. Returning to his homehere he eommeneed in the printing business and continued at it until about five years ago when he was appointed a government postal clerk. His efficiency in that line is best told by referring to an article published about a fortnight ago in the Times concerning the extraordinarily fine examination he had passed beíore Chief Clerk Gilbert. His first assignment to duty under the government postal services was on the Detroit and Logansport run, but was later transferred to the Ypsilanti and Hillsdale branch of the Lake Shore, where he continued to discharge his duties until last Monday, when taken 111. In politics Mr. Pattee was an ardent Republican and was one of the staunchest to uphold the principies of that party. His long connection with newspapers, backed by his wonderfully retentive memory, made him one of the best informed men, in the most general sense, that lived in Washtenaw county. The deceased died in the faith of the Episcopal church. He leaves a bereaved widow and two children. a son and a young daughter. Mr. Pattee held a policy in the Modern Woodrnen amounting to $2,000.
