An USJUsr ArrACE--The last number o.

90 or 60 Democratic votes u the time OF

MR. EDIT0R: In your Issue Of tie 18th

in error If l am rightly informed that
oil the so c0Ued regular physicians who
saw the case agreed in the opinion There
was one who dared to differ affirming that
there was dropsy present and he was dis

emulation OF water in the abdomen, with
an asarca of both lees aud feet. | brought
some of bis urine home with HE and tested
it. When his friends AFTER that asked me
any questions relative 10 his final recovery,
/ told them he could not possibly recover,
for he was labOrng under albuminuria in

that all We might hope to DO was to relieve
The dropsy and make him more comforta-

the liver perfectly plain. SO that when the
autopsy was made, of course there was no
water present and the family can bear me
out in the fact that water did come away
in large quantities, perfectly saturating the
clothing that was placed to collect it

| Traverse Bay r. X. but many have always
doubted the construction OF road by his

( railroad communication with the central

moment 10 Us, that direct communication
be speedily opened: upon TINS 10 a great
extent depends the future success OF our
/ city, and hence we ought 10 be willing 10
/ further any project 10 secure this desired
result The AmbOy Company asked for an
extension of their grant, promising 10 con

during the past year have opened the road
10 OwOsso, by private subscriptions now
propose TO complete It to this city IL We
will raise $50. 900, and we are confident

We should not raise the amount asked, aud
thus secure the speedy completion OF this

SMALL BUSINESS. We learn that it is the
constant practice Of the ticket agent OF the
Michigan Central Railroad at Jackson to
charge passengers for an insurance card,
and shove them upon them whether they
are wanted or not. Frequent instances of
this character have been related to u, and
We call the attention of the officers of the
road to the fact, at the suggestion Of one
who has just been Tictimized. The amount
charged for the ticket Is Of but little &C
count, but these tickets cannot be forced
upon people who do not want them, and
the agent at Jackson should not be allowed
to continue the practice
