One full and explioit affidavit, and license, for which the clerk receives 50 cents, will euffice for both contracting parties. These documenta may be made out by any authorized person, but county clerks should be very careful to learn the authority of auch deputies and to issue licenses only to those who have full knowledge of facts to be set forth in the affidavit. The foüowing, from the Adrián Times, should be re eehoed until the custom is abolished: The publication of cards of thanks by the surviving relatives of people deceased, is, we are glad to state, rapidly going out of fashion. How or where the noxious custom originated, nobody knows, but certaic it is, it cannot too quickly give up the ghost. People would be worse than heathens if they were not always grateful for kindness, but the publication of formal thanks is a piece of lip service and foolishneas whioh ought not to be obtruded on the public gaze.

There is no better index to the permanent growth of a city than are the cheap cottages, the hoiru s of the laboring men, which are springing up as by magie on all of Lansing's beautiful streets. Permanent rosperity is sure to follow successful manufacturing institutions, and Ann-Arbor has many such. Within the past few days nany visitors from other parts of the state ïave been in the city, and their favorable and even enthusiastic comments on the city's growth have been more than flatterng. There is no earthly reason why the oom should not continue, as it is not one .lased on fallacious reasons or on fictitious robable future improvement?, but the slow and steady growth bom of true increase in values and permanent prosperity.
