great enterprises. 1t is probably
settled that a road will be built
from the south this season, also
strong talk of a road to Manistee.
Their appearance here with the
prospects OF other roads soon, has
given an impetus to business
operations, and confidence to
our citizens.

of boarders; all are making money

There is again much inquiry
about lots here, and many busi-

The story having been circulat-
ed that Edwin Randall, Of Sum

we hasten to deny it. Persons
who talked with yourg Randall,
b.fore he died, say that hc de
clared to them that he made a

the deceased, aud can do no good

baldwin CITY, May ~, 1873.
The most favorable reports are
coming in daily Of the wheat
about here, and the farmers are
in the best Of spirits. There is
universal feeling that the "poor
plains" Gas m,ny are wont to call

productive. Crops at present, Ger
tainly look far better than on
heavier soils. No wheat, that |
can hear OF, was winter killed IN
this vicinity; spring crops are
mostly in, and those up arc look

made these thrce weeks. Lum-
herring is stM gong on in the

THE PREVALENCE OF CRIME. -
The cry from all parts of the
country OF murder, robbery, and
the other lesser crimes has induced
many OF our best thinkers 70 en-
anime into the cause Of crime.
What steps are hest to lie taken
for it's prevention, ADD whether
csfital punishment is benfcial as
a Preventive. etc.
DR.. John Stolz. Of Chicago, has
introduced his ideas in a work
entitled Murder, Capital Punish
nent an the Law.
The book really is a sensation,
it strikes TO the very bottom of the
cause Of crime. 1t will undoubt :
eddy causc some OF our best and
most highly influential families to
stare in wondcr,Dent ut the truths
laid bare. Our most humane
and Christian people shoald look
deeper than they have recently
been doing. The work is a suita
able one for every family. 1t is
very interesting, being illustr cd
by facts brought forth In connection
with the things that lead and induce
our people to commit crime. The
hook is handsomely printed and
bound by the UNION PUBLISH.

Robert STEWART, who carries
the mail between Reed City and
Ludins,on, and who does it very
prompt aud satisfactorily, has not
suct compensation for the work,
as would be called encouraging.
1t would be we'll If the citizens
along the route would donate a
benefit to the faithful mail carrier,
as a token of their appreciation OF
his services in their behalf. To
have a prompt reliable mail three
times a week, over such roads, is
a convenience worth everything
to the settlers of Lake county.

ONE subscriber says lie will
take the Star, and "pay for it
when the press is established in
his town." and another says he
will take the paper provided we
will agree to "move to his town"
A second thought of this matter, it
seems to US, will make such PROP
ositions look rather thin and just
triie selfish. 1t is impossible to
publish the Star at a half-a-dozen
points in Lake county, to please
half.a dozen subscribers whose
ideas have narrowed down SO,
that Lake county is situated in
each of their villages, instead OF
their villages being located in
Lake county. Come, friends,
don't let your feelings squeeze
your Judgment in that manner.

BIT NET VALENTINE.

Not long ago, when I was young,
A week bit Of lad;
Thought Tde rite sum Poatry,
And try to beat my Dad.
But when the Poatry was rit,
found it wouldn't chime,
T'would keep one twistin' all the while;
A tryin' to make it rime.
Said Motber---dcar I! It's awful strange
You can't see past your Nose;
Sich Poatry, as you do rite,
by cracky il is Proze.
Ny Boy the fact is plain anuff,
Yer Mother sees it clear;
A Boy who has a he'd like yours,
Need not keep stayen here.
There's suthin else that you can do,
Tis plain advice I'll give;
Ifyou'de be great, ingage in Proze,
And fol'r il while you live.
So then it come into my mind,
Fde better heed her word;
For mindln makes Teller great,
As had often heard.
And go chance soon came along,
For me to speak in Proze,
couldn't help feelin kinder good
Until the time rOze.
But when rose, before the Folks,
Gcorge!! how strange I felt:
Ny hair stood up, my hands hung down
feared that should melt.
The trouble was, before I rose,
had just kinder willcd,
Thatl'dc stand up; open my mouth,
With mistry t'would be filled:
But this proved TO be false to me,
As, you, and I, both know,
If we have nuthin good to tell,
We can't make spcakin go.
l had been beat in Poatry,
And just so now in Proze;
I'll seek that quictude and rest,
No Polyteshun knows.
But when rotc in POatry,
The strongest thing in life,
never could get round to ask,
A Gal to be my wife.
So when left of Poatry,
As married Folks know sartin,
found that Prozc was just the stuff,
In which to do me sparkin.
went to see fair young Dame,
With hair frizzly brown,
loved her, dear, and she loved me,
So was just in town.
We married, soon, and settled down,
The happicst two in life;
She's got the man she always loved,
], am suited with my wife,
Ofall the happy People,
Is Mollie, I and William,
Our happiness is made complete,
BY Twelve, or Fourteen, children.
