Stacy. the publisher mui editar of that bright paper, the Tecumseh Herald. He luis ;-un that paper siuce 1874, and it has been a credit to the vi'lage.

He died vcry suddenly. on Dec. 11. He had held many poeitione of trust at his home, and was generally re-peete.l.. Jfr.

He fought at Gettysburg and at Falllntj Waters whüe leading a charge of companies B. and F., he lost his right leg, and received iive gun shot, onr and om? bayonet wound, and vhila help'ess and Meeding, he I Btruck down a rebol who attempted I to rob him. Not only one of the bravee t of the Michigan boys, but is oiif ol Micliigan's best men, and every comrade should pull his coat for Uk gallant George W. Crawiord. And tlioy will, when the time comes. - Cedar Springs Clipper. Tlie record is a eoüd one to Btand on, even if he bad only one leg left. The "good road movemeut" is one iiich every ï;irmer should enthnsl■stically support. It has een idvanced far enough in the eastern and eomo otber sta tes jt o give it a monientum tliat is bound to push it uoouer or later, into and through every state in the Union. In those si a les in whlch mueh of tüie work U&B heen carried to completion, the w on is Ihat ihe gosd work was uot beguu decades ago. The people with one accord agree that there is great economy in goodroads and that their oost is not to be considered in comparison with the benefits derived from tliem. Michigan should not be behind other progressive states in taking up and pushing forward the good roads project, and if there is any class of people that should be more mterested In the moveinent than any other, lt is the farmer class- Detroit Jourual. The studente at the Medical College of tbe state University at Topeka, Ka lisas, have been robbing gravee, indas a consequence the college eame near boing destroyed by a mob recently. Kansas sliould cnact the law tliat Michigan lias, and tlui.s do auay wltn grave rofoblng. Whatevei- may be said about it, our law há aboüshed that crime. Tlve "negro domiuation" pook has about had ibs day in ihe south. The pcoplo there are finding out that republican victory does not niean any sucli thing, and that it is only a iuigbear used for scarieg the white people into voting the democratie ticket. They are aleo finding out tliat the repuWican party is the friend of the masses, and the only party fit ui control the reins of government. Hayward has been hung. Holmes s.ureiy will be hung, and Durant ha ;i certain fate of the same kind beiore his eyes. Will not the swift justico and awful fate of these wretches deter öthers f rom crime ? It ought to. Haywood naid l;e?ore being texecuted, tShat lie preierred death Ho imprisonment, and perhaps lt Is tlie most merciful to such a.s he. Holmes, Hayward and Du ra ut ! Throc monsters. Thrce beings without mercy, without the warm spirit oí human kindness in cbeir hearts. A diagrace to the age, but their late is ;i terrible warning to others who muy be inclined to follow 1 heir example. I is very doubtful if the proposltion to impeach Ambassador Th os. F. }Sayard- Who now represente thi.s coun(ry at the court of St. James - by eongress, is one to be approved. To lie sure he has proved himself an unm i-;i. representatlve. and has expresec,l opjuions t!ha1 are unworthy r.n American Citizen, but the punishineirt thei-eior lies in the ballot box rather tlian in congrese, at least nntil lie shaU have clone something detrimente! to thls country. Free speech is allowed evei-y citizen of this natjou, whether of high or low degree, and V.r Bayard can not be denied his i-igiits as an American citizen. A vietor can ahvays afford to be genereus, and for the repubücans in congi to be vindictive would be unwlEfl -very much so. Let the man talk. Hi; is putting amunition mto the hands of hLs enemies.
