Some Quaint Remarks

Mr. Wisdom resides at Milán. Metnbers of the Folly family can be found in most all towns. The recent exciting cliess contest between Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, developed the most consuminate skill on the part of the participants - in prevaricating about the result. Says the Dundee Ledger, "burglaries in Dundee are becoming unpleasantly frequent occurrences." But they assist the news columns in dry time and hazzard the interests of few publishers. A frescoer in the Jonesville Presbyterian church, last week, feil f rom grace across the back of a pew. The pewback is all right, but the frescoer's back is nearly broken, as was "predestinated" from the beginning. Little Johnny Ritz, of Ann Arbor, peered into the barrel of a child's rifle, to see how it looked inside, but owing to a severe scalp wound he received at just about that time, he has no distinct remembrance of how it did look. "The Devil up to Date" is the title of an article in Scribner. It might be thought to refer to the liquor-phobia at Clayton or Ypsilanti, but no where in the article are those places mentioned. The result of the attack on Ann Arbor by the Salvation Army, was quite a surprise to all concerned. Each side appears to have inisunderstood the others strength. Both sides are in council. Daniel Scofield, of Ypsilanti, sat on the porch to see it rain, when lightning struck a tree eight feet from him, and jumped down an old well. Scofleld dodged and saved himself, and undoubtedly has a great future, barring set-backs.
