We learn that there is q sink hole
on ths Mansfield, COldwater & Lake
Michigan Railroad, about two and q
half miles northwest OF Pioneer, which
is surely q great freak OfnatneF. The
place is about sixty feet in length, and
has settled during the past few weeks
about two feet The engineers we're
on the spot recently and sounded it,
and found it to be about 80 feet deep
to solid clay. Just what will be done
with it remains to be seen. a-.

this manner:

The Troy Times in commenting
upon the two prominent candidates
for the Presidency, compares them in
this manner:
Grant is not in thehabit Of running
wild after speculative crotchets.
Greeley is peculiarly given to such
fOllies. Grant is practical. Greeley
Is theoretical. Grant is tolerant.
Greeley is intOlerant. Grant trusts
absolutely those whom he knows to
he trustworthy. Greeley Is being
vietimiZed by sharpers. Grant Is re-
served. Greeley is laxative. Grant
is resOlute. Greeley Is vascillating.
Grant reflects before ne acts. Greeley
is moved by impulse. Grant Is mod
est in the expression OF his opinions.
Greeley deems everybody a fool who
does not accept his frequent vagaries
as the products Of a profound philOso-
ply.

At a funeral, lately, there stood in
the house of the defunct an old-fash-
ioned clock, which, when it finished
the announcement Of the meridian
hour, it was made to play a tune. The
officiating minister was in the midst
of his sermon when, noon having ar
rived, the clock commenced striking
twelve. In a very solemn tone he
impressed upon his hearers the inev-
liable flight of time; but the exhOrta-
tiOn was evidently Ineffective, as the
clock instantly followed with the
CHEEKY old notes of ''Take your time,
Miss Lucy.'

The New York Tribune was accused
Of being the only Republican paper
in New York supporting Greeley. IL
was indignantand rushed into a de-
NAL as follows: g..
every journalist in the State re
calls the names Of the Genesee Val
ley Free Press, Yates County GirOAi-
cLe, GreeBpOint True RepHdliedB,
Ahwaga Clief, and perhaps others Of
weight, as already supporting the
Cincinnati ticket without Feserva-
tiOns, and each representing a heavy
Republican district.
That is n brilliant showing among
over three hundred papers and It Is
evident that Greeley's organ allowed
its anger to overcome its prudence.
