w. Scorr GKRRIsH, of Hsrsey, has invented
q one-man power saving machine, that is des-
tined to knock buck-saws into oblivion, a.
much as the new inventions have the old cross
cut 1t 10 simple, easy, and rapid. He has
applied for spstent. The cost of such q ma
chine will be about si6. 1t will bring the
wood-sawing business down within the reach
of any poor man, so.that he can compete with
steam or "any other man." We have spoken
for machine, and when it comes, farewell to
typs-stickingl
T. j. ENsLIsH of Evart, has sont Us one Of
his new style paper-cutters, which proves to
be very good machine, for the price-$S0
Mr. English has constructed one besides ours,
which lie in use at the Evart Reuiew Office. For
country newspaper Offices, wanting cheap
machine,we think Mr.. English has just the DR.
ticle wanted. 1t will cut paper Of any ordinary
size for blank work, and is as good for our
present business as higher priced machine
would be.
THE U. s. Express Messengers on the Grand
Rapids & Indiana Railroad have put US to a
great deal of trouble and damage for about
five weeks past, by carrying packages Of pa
per addressed to this Office to out-of-thc-way
stations, and leaving them. BY such careless
ness and neglect we have been damaged
hundreds of dollars in our business and crcu
lation, and we intend to seek redress at the
proper tribunal. We have, in our Office at
this time, the rappings Of some bundles of
paper, marked with printed labe-"John +.

at Leroy, IL miles north OF Reed City, after
having been carried past their destination
heather package was brought to us in the
proper time, and one was unfit for US to use
when it arrived. One bundle was delayed
nine days, and cost us q journey to Toledo
and back, to find out what was the trouble
There is not better friend of railroad mer
and express men in this State than We are, and
always have been. We have many personal
friends and relatives in that business, and
know their duties and difficulties; therefore We

able conduct on the part of the express men
on the G. Il. L l. 4. r., and the serious dam
age we have sustained, has been too much fol-
the patience and forbearance Of any man.
This will, also, explain to our subscribers
the reason why they have received some half
sheets and badly printed paper lately. W.
were compelled to issue such papers or none
at all.
