John Ihling has retired from the Superintend-
ency of the Paw Paw Railroad, and +. nj. Man.
ming has been appointed as his successor. Mr..
Manning will make an efficient officer.
Ii is stated that the Committee on Female
Suffrage in the Connecticut Legislature will
pass bill proving that single women having in
their own right $500 shall be entitled to vote in
any town, city, borough, or school district
meeting.
The wife Of the Rev. Henry W. Hale has
taken the entire course in the Newton Mass. }
Theological Seminary with him, and received
the usual degree the first ever conferred on
woman by that institution. Both OF them are
under appointment as missionaries
A county woman suffrage association was
organized in Kalamazoo the 7th inst. Judge
C. Il. Brown was elected President. Speeches
were made by Miss Eastman of Massachusetts,
Dr. Stone, DR.. Manse, Prof. Logan, Mrs.
Hathaway and others. The constitution adopted
was the same as that OF the State Association.
A telegram was received here on Wednesday
afternoon announcing the death Of Mrs. Fred
erick Lord, who was at the house of her brother
in-law-Samuel Bapgs-in Iowa. Mrs. Lord
was sister Of Robert Morrison and Mrs. Sid
ney Cox. Her death was sudden and unex-
pected she was found dead in her bed in the
morning:
IN passing along one OF our streets day or
two since, we saw two boys seated on the edge
of the sidewalk munching down half grown
apples. a little further along was doctor
leaning over fence pretending to be looking
at growing vegetables in a garden. but we no.
ticed that he was keeping his eyes on the boys,
and thought we detected a sort of "now I've
got case OF collie" look in his countenance as
he was waiting for the cramps to begin and he
to be called in because he was right handy.
The discussion Of the School Question seems
10 keep up its interest, and we hope it will con-
tinue to be discussed until the whole matter
shall be so thoroughly ventilated by the people
that the needed reforms shall be effected and
the good in the system retained. For ourselves
we are in favor of the system so far as to make
our schools accessible to every child in the land,
that is, FREE to them; but on the other hand
we are opposed to the least extravaganza, and
insist that the schools of the country can be
made just as efficient with the cost largely
diminished.
The South Haven Sentinel travels consider
ably out of the way to make fling at the
TRUE NoRTHERNER, and then complacenty
boasts OF the number of square inches it uses
for the very meager amount OF matter it is
pleased to call local. II the TRUE NoRTHERNER
printed its matter in the same sized job type
used by the Sentinel, it would take eight or ten
sheets Of paper Of the size now used to give
its usual quantity of reading.
We saw an advertising contract for five square
for the insertion of an advertisement of about
two hundred and ten words. The NoRTHERNER
got better price for two inches.
Four weeks since, we published the call for
the State Nominating Convention, to be held
in the city Of Lansing, on the Goth OF August.
We called on the County Committee to take
measures looking to the fixing Of the time OF
and place for holding the County Conventions
in order that the people n .,nt have timely no.
tice and canvass the matter Of candidates
derstanding and express their preferences.
As yet We have not heard from the County
Committee. We think 1t Of Importance that
timely notice shall be given OF the time OF the
holding of the conventions. and ample oppor-
tunlty be afforded for a full and dispassionate
expression OF public sentiment. The people
have come TO look with dlstrust on all secret
maneuvering and wire-pulling and packing of
conventions. They demand fair play and an
opportunity to be fully heard in all matters
where they are interested and are called OH to
foot the bills for salaries &c Therefore, We
saw, let the conventions be at once called go
that a considerable time shall elapse between
the people far chance not only to be heard
but to be represented.
At noon yesterday the people OF this COM
munity were surprised by report to the effect
that Amos Morris had been arrested on a
warrant issued out OF the L. S. District Court
FOR the western Dlstrlct OF MlcnlgaD. On max
ing inquiry we learned that such was the fact
and that the circumstances on which the war
rant was issued were about as follows Some
time since Milo ID. Matteson. the convicted
forger who is still at large, commenced fore
closure in the L. S. District Court against
Morris, ON one Of the mortgages alleged to
have been forgery, by Bill on the chancery
side OF the Court, by which the answer o.
Morris was required to be made under OATH
The answer of Morris having been put IN as re-
quired, one Of Matteson's counsel and witness
on the trial OF the Forgery case tried here last
December, and which resulted in the convection
of Matteson. together with Matteson repaired
to Grand Rapids, and on complaint of Matte
son an Indictment was procured against Morris
for Perjury, alleged to have been committed
BY the sworn answer to said Matteson's Bill for
the foreclosure Of said mortgage. A warrant
for the arrest Of Morris was placed in the hands
OF Deputy L. S. Marsal Brownell, who execut-
ed the writ by taking Morris into custody yes
terday-July 9th-and taking him to Grand
