We'w no bonanza king.- Adrián Pi'ess. Bro. Stearns ovklently knows what he is t-adking about. Edw.ard Iteve'niaugh, son of the late Sam B. Bevenaiugh, died in Chicago receuiltly.

Wallace Broce, at University Hall, laet Fiiday evening, gavei his audienco a very good idea, of the distinction between wit and humor. The ■poem recited as a prelude to his lecttiua-f was good, but just iv trifla tedious. The audience was pleased wiluen ha got down to the business of tlhe evening. The anecdotes, the wdt, the sarcasni bromght out were excellent, and althjoiugh eome of the anécdotas had a trifla of duet upon them, accuniulated by age, yet he daiessed tlueim up eo neiatly thitt the audience tiook tluem all for Iresh, and applaoided emitilmsdastically. He dressed up Col. Ingorsoll- or rather Ooi. Ingersoll's peligious unbelief - in a' very neiait mianner also. All in nll Mr. Bruco dolivers a good lecture, and l'ho audiemce went away pleased.

There are no beitter compagnies on the raad, aind thiey never have appeared iiu place yöt l)ut what ihere has been a strong demand ïor a re'turn engagement. We observe tïiat the Ann Arbor Coarisr kicks vigorously because fhe tilver mem oustied a republicao county superintendent of the poor and gets a salid democratie board, inetead of on representativo írom the ï'eipulbllcans. Th objection U sustainied. Taxation withouit repiresent'atdon led to tihe rumpus where youing America Hcked his mo'ther, ín 1776. Repiieseintation, without eome chance at the taxea, isn't fair.

A little O'rf on youar bearings. It is the Wilsoa bi'.l tlïat has swelleii the bilts at the couaity house. They are growiing les.i now. The eddtor of the Adrián Press ciitioises Sheriff Judson because the threo men arrested for the murder of the old. nuan Hichards were uot convdeted, and insinuates that he did mot do Ms dttty in eecuring evidence, etc. Tlue Press etrains a, po int to iget in a dig at a political opponent, anil does not umdei'stand the case. Sheriff Judson had nothiing to do wiii'h the arrest oí tliose mein. M. C. Petersou was at that time the democratie city marshal of Ami Arlio:, and he arpested the toen, al■Miouigh it ie gwiertxlly considered the donty of tlve eherlif! to attend to tlie ciimtaal business of th county. It is poesfble tluat Mr. Petersoo had au ambition to be sheriff himself, and hoiped by shrewd manipulation to m.ake a nepurtatton fo-r himself that wor.id put him tbere. If there is any fauilt in the case, Bro. Press, it lies ■ jvS'i'n the diemociiatic marshal, not wtPtfli the i-epulblican sheriff. Had the sheiiïf been allowed to proceed as filiieiüffs usually do, there might have tieem less expense and better results }n this particuilar instance.
