The Amended Constitution Of Mich.
gan, soon to be submitted to the popular
vote, contains several important indica.
ton of progress. One provision is that
women shall DC eligible to the Offices OF
register Of deeds and notary public, to
those connected with schools and librar-
les, and "to any others hereafter desiguat.
ed by law !" another gives to a married
woman private property rights and re.
sponsibilties. An amendment comforting
the suffrage on women will be submitted
separately, with little expectation that it
will be adopted. Municipalities arc

ding consolidation with competing lines or
having any agreement about freight and
fares with them, and requiring that no
president, director, officer or employee of
railroad shall be interested in supplying
material to that road or in the business
of transporting passengers or goods over

telegraph lines, even by the purchase OF
one by the other, and the holding by one
company Of q controlling interest in an.
other, is strictly forbidden. 1t is provid.

find in the Detroit Tribune's draft of the
amendments, to the effect that the "Leg.

Which. unless the temper of the people
has changed from tho late election, will

joining distillcry. They are described,
seine as toothless, others as blear. oyed,
others have fostering sores upon their legs
and udders. whilo some are so bioated
with dropsy that they have TO be propped
up to be prevented from falling down,
pever to rise again others still are so
cadavcrous from disease that their bones
protrudo from the flesh. All have alb.
brcviated tails inciscd as an iuoculatiug
process, to modify the acuteDess Of the
disease, which results from the inhibition
Of the swil. There was ~ ventilation in
the stable. except the air that struggled
/ through the doors no light was visible
between the boards the ceilings were
low, and the cows stand kuce.dccp in the
mud aud filth. The Eagle published in
connection with this direiul discovery the
names of 90 dealers who peddle swill
milk, to the amount Of l2000 quarts
daily, as "Orange county" Pare Put

Nicaragua, vas received on Saturday
evening. 1t occurred on board the

taken on shore by the Consular agent
at that place and buried. Mr., Mead was
u native of Cornwall, brother of Prof.
Charles M. Mead of Andovcr Theologi-
cal Seminary, and Prof. Hiram Mead
of Obcrlin College. He was one of the
proprietors and editor of the Middle
bury REGISTER from 1857 to 1865, and
In that capacity proved his fine intel
iectual and moral qualities, He was
much loved and respected as n man,
and his influence rs journalist was
always great and always right. In
1869 he accepted the consulship at Co.
rinto, and held it until his death. On
one of his voyages TO visit his home in
Vermont, the vessel on which he was
passenger was wrecked and many Of
the persons on board were lost, Mr.
Mead with some others escaped by be
Ing several days on the broad ocean in
AN open boat. The exposure was very
great and the danger at all times i'm.
mlnent, but by the knowledge he had
acquired Of yachting off the coast from
Corinto, he was able to navigate his
frail bark over breakers and rough seas
until rescued and brought to land.
TL.:s .ilgi.Y- i - -i-5 of Mr.. Mead in
Middebury and Addison County, who
admired him for his many personal
virtues and his valuable public services
which were always given in behalf OF
right and truth and justice, will mourn
his loss 10 themselves and to the world
most deeply, and will long cherish his
memory as rich legacy which death
cannot take away. We hope to give q
fuller notice of him in some future
issue.
