that the laws are relied on by the Churches,
and other kindred associations, for the protec-

that private individuals rely on them, and why

q. L. has been looking over the newspapers
for tho purpose of solving the little puzzle as
to the reasons why the
PRESIDENTIAL PARTY
was not allowed the courtesy OF the free
pass" usual in such cases. Much newspaper
party seats in the passenger coaches until tick
cts had been procured. G. T. finds that the
" awkward circumstance" was brought about by
A srocKHoLDER
in the New York and New Haven Railroad who
commenced suit and caused an injunction to be
issued restraining that road from the giving OF
any free passes to legislators or any state Of
ficer, or officers, Of the general government
1t SO happened that the first public officials
travelling on passes who attempted to go over
that cad after the injunction were President
Grant and his party, en- route TO
LEXINGTON AND CONCORD
to attend the Centennial celebrations. Protests
were OF no avail, and tickets had to be pro-
cured for the whole party. G.. 7. regards the
spectacle of the president Of that road lectur-
ing the stakeholder" and charging him with
no other motive in bringing the action than
to be
TALKED ABOUT,
as rather a lame way of getting out OF the
awkward fix the road was in.
In last weeks TnUF NoRTHERSER was gwen
an account OF the arrest OF John and George
Nash for the larceny of a watch from the
jewelry store OF
VIZ. KINNE.
John was acquitted. but George vas held for
trial in the Circuit Court the presumption OF
guilt being strong in his case, and for want OF
proper bail he now lies in Jail where he can be
found when wanted. q. Il. saw John keeping
officer Kirkwood company on Friday afternoon.
They went to Kalamazoo on the evening train
to see what the people over there had to say
about little
PuFERING TRANSACTION,
in which John is SAID to have taken q hand
The week has had goodly share OF
AMusEMENTs,
both rational and irrational. On Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings Ford's Band gave our citi-
zens musical entertainment. Their perform
ances are well spoken of by those who heard
them. Then there was the
SPELLING SCHOOL
on Thursday evening, at which the best spoilers
tussled with the hardest and longest words
g. T. knows OF a lot OF spoilers whose words
are not "long," though some OF them may be
"haro" enough. They have very long spells of
sitting around public places, Micawber like,
waiting for somebody to
SET EN- UP.
To-day the big show comes Off. Everybody
from the eountry-will go this afternoon, and
the whole town will be there in the evening.
The " Fluid Lightning" man and his "pard-
ner," the " mird-reader," left these "diggins'
last Thursday morning, and their place was
supplied BY gambler OF different sort"
who sold YOU a photograph for twenty-five
cents and then allowed you to
DRAW NUMBER
from a box after which you gave him dollar
and then he sold you-something.
OuI merchants have been getting their spring
stocks OF goods, and are anxiously waiting for
purchasers. A. Van Auken IL Co. have just
received new stock OF clothing for the spring
AID summer trade. They also manufacture
clothing to order, and G. T. notices that they
keep man up stairs
10 GIVE EN- FITS.
In iast weeks TRUE NoRTHERNER was pub
lished poem by " VI. H." entitled
MY AIR CASTLE,
which G.. T. thinks shows considerable ability,
and he predicts that the young author may ac-
complish much IN the way OF authorship.
