with salutatory by Amos Dresser, Jr son of
Rev. Amos Dresser, Of Pentwater, and former

ser discams ability as an editor, and then lays
before us spicy paper from which we arc glad
to secure news. Those who knew Mr.. D., in
this county will like to see a glimpse of his
opening article--the virgin pcn.dips
Our paper will continue tobe identified with
the hepublican party, yet we shall cndeavor
10 treat with courtesy those who differ from us
ponucnliy' and shall hope by an honorable,
upright ana manly course to win the esteem of
tn1se whose cooperation we cannot expect
be,evlng mat true morality is the only sure
foundation of good society we shall lend an
earnest support TO everything that tends TO
elevate and improve, and fearlessly condemn
whatever we believe tends To corrupt and vi
tiatc.
While we shall endeavor 10 keep clear from
sectaran dogmas we should feel that we were
recreant TO the trust committed to us, should
we not do all in our power to aid In the diffu-
sion of the fundamental doctrines of Christi
anity. We ask the sympathy and cooperation
of every christian, of whatever name or de-
nomination.
To our brothers Of the press, we extend the
right hand of fellowship, and hope that our fl

A WoRD FOR JUsTIcE,-It l. pretty general
ly admitted that American Justice winks at
crime among the wealthy. In nine cases cut
of ten, u thief or murderer who has wealthy
and influential connections will not receive his
due If money cannot buy the Judge and
jury, il will buy the Governor of the State
Ii the former will sentence hin to the prison
or gallows, the latter will pardon him.
We admire British justice. 1t is no respect
or of persons. IL wiz send a swlndler to her
penal Colony, although it be the wealthiest
banker in the kingdom. A late Lord Chance.
lor was expelled from ONCE and from decent
society, for simply eonnicing ~ bribery The
pFoudest nobleman in the realm will be hung,
IL he commits murder The whole bank OF
England cannot buy his pardon. A good au-
thorlty declares that "the way IF the transgres-
sor is hard" And the people or nation that
attempts TO make 10 easy will have to suffer
for IT, The penalties of the law are sacred
We may pity the criminal and do our utmost
to reform him. But woe to the man, OF to the
Court, or to any magistrate whatsoever, who,

the law and its penalty Germ. Re-. Messenger

An important question has recently been de.
cided by Judge stcrer, In Cincinnati. A gen.
tleman died. leaving will in which he gave
his wife, after his death, the use of all his real
and personal property so long as she remained
his widow. If she remarked, the property
was TO go to his children. She did remarry.
and legal proceedings were taken to determine
the effect of the marriage The court sustained
the will, and gave the property to the children,
holding that the restriction against a second
marriage was valid one aud not, as was at
tempted to be manifested, contrary to public
policy. Judge Storer, who delivered the epin-
ion, says:
"The husband has an interest il the
widowhocd of his wife, which, it has
been well remarked, gives him the IN 1ral
right to annex limitations to his bequests
when she is made the recipient of his
bounty. He may well be supposed anx-
ious Tor her happiness, and by placing n
second marriage as a bar to his wife's
subsequent enjoyment of the estate de-
vised, prevent an ill-sorted or unhappy
union. He cannot be supposed willing
to lavish his generosity on those he never
knew, and certainly lis children, who,
during their mothers widowhood, he
might confidently hope would retain the
memory of their fathers counsels ought
not to be subjected to the control or ex-
ample of one whose only motive in mar
riage may have been to obtain control of
the testator's property. More than al,
the property, which was the result of his
toll, he may, without any reflection on
his conjngal duties, be unwilling should
be appropriated to the children of sec
ond marriage. No obligation rests upon
his estate to maintain any other family
! than his own.

A CIRCUS UNDER THE SHERIFF's HAMMER
BY order of the Common Pleas Court, Sheriff
Webber, acting as receiver, sold the entire
effects of DR.. James L. Thayer's circus, in
Guiding horses, wagons, wild animals, &c,
At 2 o'clock p. NJ. a crowd of two or three
hundred persons had assembled, and the Sheriff
commenced his work Ten performing horses
were first offered, and sold at prices averaging
about $3.50 each. Mf. Adam Forepaugh be-
came the purchases Of The trick pony Doctor,
paying for him the handsome sum of $500
An elephant small in size, but dignfed in ap-
pcarance, was next led forth, and Immediately
became the observed of all observers. Bidders
seerfred to be very shy about making offers,
however, and finally his dminutive majesty
was knocked down 10 Mr. Forepaugh for $I275.
An old Snowman, who was present in the
crowd, remarked "that there little anmule
ought to have fetched S60O0," and walked off,
indignant at the sacrifice
-Four fiery and untamed lions were next
offered, and after some Lively bidding were
awarded to Oscar II. Norman, at $9O00 The
kings of the forest" did not seem to be much
affected at the novel process of being knocked
down-to the highest bidder, of course-and
blinkcd lazily at the crowd through the iron
bars of their cage. A few tmid persons in
qurcd whether the cage was perfectly secure,
and looked fearfully upon the tawny beasts,
whose massive jaws and powerful limbs seemed
waiting only ies the opportunity to burst forth,
wild with reslstless rage and fury. Mr.. Fore
paugh and Mr.. Norman were the principal
purchasers, the former investing $4,000 and the
latter $00J5 The sales will foot up to about

The EcUMENIcAL CoUNcIL.-The religious
world is just now In q state Of expectancy,
which hardly amounts TO excitement, in regard
10 the great Council Of the Roman Catholic
Church,, which Is 10 convene at ST. Peters in
Rome, on the 9Th proximo. This Ecumenical
Council--in no sense ecumenical-has been
called by Plus 1X, for the purpose of estab-
fishing certain matters in connection with the
ecclesiastical (and probably temporary affairs
of that Church. What particular topics are
to come before this body for discussion, or
what will be the result of that discussion, is
not known; but much agitation has come in
the Church on account of the call issued and
no one doubts that that agitation will be
greater whatever the decisions of the Council
may be.
The call to this Council embraced the vari.
Gus churches and faiths, az the last great
Council (TrenD did not Bul the Patriarchs
and lesser Pepes of Armenia, of CONSTANT
nople, Of Russia-in fact, of the entire East
have yefused to come and as to the Protestant
or non-C Catholic churches, DIR. Cumming, of
the Kirk of Scotland, tapped the balloon by
which the hope of the world in Papal liber-
ality was expected to rise and let ont the gas
We are informed thrt Pho Nfno stands ready
to lead the Catholic Church in welcoming
back 10 its arms, its pcnance and its forgive
ness, all hereto churches and people who come
in penitcnce for forgiveness
This makes of the boasted Ecumcnica
Council only Catholic Synod, not even rep
resentng the whole Papal Church; and so
there is left an opening foF unlimited troubles
yet to come of its decisions, whatever. they
may be. Ecumcnical is Greek word, which
means the civilized d-christcndom-
hence the present Council can not lay claim
to the name
For the accommodation Of this Council a
portion of st. Peters has been very claborately
fitted up. Galleries have been provided for
those who are permitted to witness the assem-
thling of the august body. The greatest pomp
and show are to accompany its Inauguration,
and to this ne expense is to bc spared
But while the world al large is on the out
look for this beginning Of the Council, thought
| ful people will be looking anXiuusly for its
ending. The masses Of the world are bccom-
| ing educated beyond the Catholic Church us it
has been. The liberal tendencies of the age,
though they are not getting beyond an enliglIt-
cned Christianity, are oycrstepping bounds.
If this Council is to build higher fence about
the Papal Church and creed, so that Pcres
Eyacinthe can not jump out, il will have put
up structure simply that it may be knocked
down: and it will not fall alone
