The Saline Observer lias jtist entered apon its eleventh year. It is a good, clean, newsy paper and deserves to be well patronized by the citizens of the thriving village where it is published. The bazar, given by the ladies of St. Mary's church, Chelsea, was a great success. Bishop Foley and Senator Gorman made felicitous speeches. The , bishop was greeted by a band of young ladies dressed in white. Bound to die anyway, was the New York boy, who, when his father refused to furnish him money to buy cigarettes, committed suicide.

North Lake correspondent' says: " Your scribe has a cow that believes in free trade on the high seas. Last Sunday she launched her craft on North Lake, and after an hour'a sailing made a tack, landing about where stie started. A black and white calf on the opposite side of the lake was the attraction." The latest Milan sensation runs as follows : Henry Hobbs was petting Ed. Doersam's mastiff a few nights ago, when someone camerlong and pushed him over the dog; the dog, perhaps, thinking himself attacked, assaulted Henry and tore a gash several inches long on his scalp, which had to be sewed up by the doctor. Henry is coming on all right. No arresta. James Hoagge, who has dealt out ruin and death to his fellow citizens for several vears as bartender in John Terns' saloon, is havingan experimental acqaaintance with the same subject. He has a very bad attack of delirium tremens, and nlthough the delirium has finally been quieted, his physical condition from excessive alcoholism is snch as to give no strong expectation of his recovery.- The foregoing object lesson is taken from the columns of the Ypsilantian. Potatoes, wheat, turnips, pumpkins, fishes and snakes - whatacropofextravagent stories ! The Saline Observer adds anoth-jr to the long list. It is a celery story and is interesting. Read and reflect : "Ezra Sanford duly and solemnly avers that he dug from his grounds a eingle stalk that weighed six and onefourth pounds. He also further states that he can show more celery to the acre than any other grower in Michigan. If any celery growers wish to dispute his claim to the championship, let tïiem trot out their goods." 13 Jack the Clipper in Ypsilanti ? The following sententious communication was slipped through onr ofiBce door last Monday niht.in an envelope addressed, "To the Editor, Jack hair cutter is in town twenty more locks of hair, Jack." We wouldn't advise the girls to leave town on this account, for that is probably a stupid hoax. It would be just as well, however, for people to be on their guard, and if any Jack of that eort really is in town, somebody niay have the good luck to kill the idiot.- YpBilantian. Don Murray was out hunting birds last Friday, and he brought down bigger game than he intended. He was hunting in the vicinity of Thotnas Jackson's home, and he had just made a fine hot at a bird, when he heard a screnm in the direction his bullet went, and he stnrted at once lo find out what unintended niisdiief the little leaden messengdr had wrought. Miss Maggie, the fourteen-year oíd daughter of Thomas Jackson, was going into the house, and when a few feet from the door she heard the report of a gun and stopped, and a few eeconds later f creamed that she was shot. Dr. Chapín was called and on exatnination fuund that the ball had entered the arm at the elbow and lodged a little below, breaking no bones but making an ugly and painful wound.
