to the advertisement of the Bay
County Mutual Manufacturing Com
pany published in this issue. Some
of the advantages claimed for the
organization are therein set forth,
they are, however, more fully stated
IN a pamphlet containing the Articles
of Association and BY Laws of the
Company, which may be had on APP
plication to J. s. Judson, Secretary,
Bay City. The organization is, as the
names of its officers indicates, in the
hands of substantial business men,
and we can see no good reason why
it should not prove an efficient agent
in bringing about more harmonious
and systematic manner of conducting
business in this Valley, particularly as
regards the salt product.

The Republicans held an election
in this City last Monday, putting in
all the candidates on their ticket for
Ward and City officers, by majorities
ranging. from 20 on u w. O. Gage,
who run 30 behind his ticket in his
own Ward for Alderman, to 21l on
Mayor. The only consolation left for

ELECTIONS in the Lain have gone
about as usual this spring. Saginaw
City doing better than well in the
election of sterling Democrat for
Mayor, by largely increased major
ity, and majority of democrats for
City and Ward officers. The Board
of Supervisors in this county this year
must be very near tie. In Connec-
ticutl the Democracy came so near
winning victory, only losing the
Governor by bare majority of GOO
that the result is more than ordinarily
aggravating. In the aggregate there
is evidently no material change in
Michigan.

this city were much astonished last
Sunday evening to notice singular
flash of light in the vicinity of the
pulpit, and at the same time the sud

moment lost sight of by his hearers.

the dog ten or twelve the lion, we are told
about twenty; the rabbit eight. The dura-
ton Of life in all these bear similar proper
ton to the time the animal takes to grow to
its full size. But man, of all the animals, is
the one that seldom comes to his average.
He ought to live hundred years, according
to this physiological law, for FIVE times twenty
are one hundred; but instead of that he
scarcely reaches, on the average, four times
his growing period; the cat six times, and
the rabbit even eight times the standard OF
measurement.
The reason for all this is obvious. Man is
not only the most irregular and the most la
borious and hard working Of all animals He
is also the most irritable of animals; ard
there is reason to believe Though we can not
tell what an animal secretly ieels) that, moro
than any other animal, man cherishes wrath
to keep it warm, and consumes himself with
the fire of his own secret reflections. Besides
this, man is the only animal that makes
wide departure from those laws Of nature
which control life. He takes on unnatural
and health destroying habits carrying them
to the verge of the grave, and clinging to
them with tenacity which yields not even
to his better judgment. The lower order Of
animals never do this Instinct is their guide,
and the superior duration of life they enjoy
is proof OF the folly man.

National Bankrupt Bill.

Commenting upon the passage OF this bill
by the House Of Representatives ofthe present
Congress, the Washington correspondent of
The Richmond Examiner says:
i'For the Southern States, lately disturr {
IN their business arrangements by war, e..
this bill is q Godsend, and it is so ackut -
edged by many of the business end legal, -
of the South, who have corresponded j
Mr.. Jenckes on the subject. The bark, >.
law Of 9l aud Of al were either pYrtiz :
projects or temporary expedients to rci;' ~
debtors. Of course they were repealed al
soon as their object was answered. But t.ri
is intended as a permanent system, governing,
IN time TO come, the relations between dcbt,c
and creditor, in uniform, and benehce t,
and enlightened manner. The celebratso
William Lowpdes, of South Carolina, ont O.;
the ablest and purest Of all tie Statesmen C
his period, while he was in Congress, and =,
the head of the Committee Of Ways a.o
Means, elaborated Bankrupt system, un..c.'
the Constitution, which for that day, was X
cellent; but it was not adopted. A disiln.
guished lawyer of Pennsylvania, John Ser
geant, proposed law for the sane purpose,
but that failed.
The unexccuted powers Of the Constitution,
one of which the Bankrupt bill carries out,
are ample for all the purposes of an Ameri-
can Union.
The creditor Interests Of tic Northern com.
mcrcial States have demanded this law, and
not the debtor interests. At the South, it
may be that the debtor interest is not op-
posed to it. Merchants everywhere will find
their interests promoted by law which will
generally adjust or compromise cases of debt
and bankruptcy so that 10th parties, creditor
and debtor, can be free and untramneled. !,
Among letters from the South, received
and considered by the committee, were some
from we'll known and most respected men,
who expressed the opinion that this Bank
rupt bill would do morefor the South than any
thingthat this republican Congress, ,orthe Fede.
raj Executive could possiblydo for them. What
thew most want, they say, is to be free from
their debts, and enabled to begin again: The
creditors will. find, their advantage also in VII
ning out and beginning. anew Thus the
pr;pce S of dry goods dealers, Stewart, of New
1 Yerk.. writes to the committee that q milhcn
and . half is due him from the South, and
that be desires that the debt be wiped, cut in
such manner that his debtors can como and
deal with him again"

THE TERN "FEH1AY." ."-Chief Centre Ste
phens being asked as to the origin of the term
Fenian, replies, through Mr.. W. G, Halpin,
thus:
Every student of Irish history will recol.
lect that a cbellain existed in ireland just
anterior to the Christian era, named Fion Nc
Cuol. This parsonage was the commanaant
of the Feniau Erin or Irish militia at Pc
riod when Ireland was nation, and her pco-
ple protected themselves against the enroach-
ments of all invaders.
AS the present organization is instituted
for the same purpose, after the foreign robber
shall have been expelled, the name Of Feniah
was adopted for the branch Of the brother
hood in the United States.

Tho Philosophy of Long Life.

But few men die of age. Almost all die
of disappointment, passional, mental, or Of
bodily toll, or of accident. The passions kill
men sometimes, even suddenly. The COM
mon expression, "choked with passion" has
little exaggeration in it; for even though not
suddenly fatal, strong passions sho:ten lie,
Strong g-bodied men, often the youns-weak
men live longer than the strong, ior the strong
use their strength, and the weak have none
to use. The latter take care OF themselves;
the former do not. AS it is with the body,
so it is with the mind and temper. The
strong are apt to break, or, like candle, to
."run;" the weak burn out. The inferior in
animals, which live, in general, regular and
temperate lives, have generally their prescrib-
ed term of years. The Lorse lives about
twenty-five years; the OK fifteen OIL twenty;

a SHOCKING SToRY.-Itis stated that few
days since coffin containing the body of a
lady was shipped from Parkersburg, Va. on
board the d. M Sechlor, for transportation
to Guernsey, Ohio, via Wheeling. Upon
reaching its destination and being opened ~
the friends, their horror and dismay may be
imagined upon discovering that the unfortu-
nate lady had evidently come to life during
her Incarceration within the narrow limits
of her coffin. Her hands we're up to her
head, and the tangled and disordercd hair
gave evidence of a struggle which must have
been as brief as terrible.

Trichiniasis in Iowa--Death of Four
Persons.

From the Monticello (lowa) Express, June.
Trichimiasis in Iowa--Death of Four
Persons.
From q private letter to one Of our towns-
men, dated Marion, Linn county, Iowa, June
8, we learn the following particulars of mum
ber of cases of trichina:
A family by the name of Bcmis, who re-
side in Town, went out to their son-in-law' 5
in the country and brought home ham,
which some OF them ate rar. In about week
they were taken sick, and their physicians
pronounced the disease the typhoid fever and
treated them accordingly. There are in th'
family the old gentleman and lady, theirdaugh
ter, two sons and lour grandchildren-two
sons and two daughters. All of them were
taken sick. The daughter ate most Of her
neat rare cooked, and is getting better. Tht
others ate it raw. One of her sons died FRI
day, and was buried Saturday the other boy
was not expected to live till morning. The
two granddaughters are very sick, bus seen
to be getting neither better nor worse.
The old gentleman aud lady are in very
critical condition, and one OF their sons dice
Saturday forenoon, and was buried Sunday
(Junc 3.) He was about twenty-one years
ofage. Before be was buried his body was
swollen to almost twice its natural size, and
burst in number of places. His flesh Seem
ed perfectly rotten. The other son is not cx-
pected to live. From the first boy that died
the doctors cut several pieces Of muscle, TAX
ing them from the thigh, arm and back, and
by the aid ola powerful microscope, discov-
cred trichniah in large numbers. In one spe-
cimen they examined they found then. at the
rate CT nearly 0O00to the cubic inch. 1t
is needless to add that these developments
have caused an1ihtense excitement at Marion
and every one who has eaten hog within the
last month experiences all sorts OF worny sen,
sations. Our readers will observe that all ol
these sufferers from this cruel disease ate Their
meat either raw or rarely cooked.

conscious traitors" Those who use these
epithets must see, if they will reflect, that they
are not true. They must know that Jefferson
Davis, Robert e. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and
the thousand others who engaged in the late
contest, never could be answtrable for the
charge of ofmurderand conscious treason. Stone
wall Jackson rests in his grave, and your own
eloquent Beccher has illustrated his Character
and rescued it from such an inpulation. Time
will deferd the character of Davis and Lee.
That their acts imposed upon them no consci
Gus ness ofcrime I have do doubt. The parting
words of jefferson Davis, in the presence of
the Senate, breathe the strongest conviction
of rectitude and desire for peace and to
avoid bloodshed.
Away, then, with these charges, that these
people are murderers, red-handed rebels and
conscious traitors. They spring only from
unreaecting excitement or from q depraved
spirit of revenge, and with wise and conside
rate statesmen and patriots should never be
allowed to interpose obstacles to the reunion
which all such must now desire. Away, too,
with the expectation that the Southern people
will ever degrade themselves by freely accept
ing conditions from the benefit Of which you
exclude their own chosen leaders This shall
and will never be- Let the people sweep these
obstacles aside, and as We were enemies in
war, in peace let US be friends.
In reply to questions by Mr.. Leblond, Mr..
Harris having stated that the South had the
right, by virtue of the Federal compact, to
20 out of the Union in spite Of the Constitu
ton, Mr.. Letlond charged that he MIR. Har-
ris) and Mr.. Stevens occupied the same posi-
ton on the question Of secession. Mr.. Moul-
ton denied that Mr.. Stevens held this doc
trinc and Mr.. Raymond obtaining the floor,
the further consideration of the subject was
postponed till the following day.
