Sand, which is singularly like to a
saying of Goethe on his deathbed:

Grant had good reason for the dis
missaI of Mr.. Yaryan from tbeInter-

actively engaged in destroying the

petrate frauds upon the revenue; he
was Ben. Bristow's right-hand man.
In carrying on such work, Yaryan
ran against some of the most init
mate friends of Grant, and even ac-
cuscd them of being in completely

After Trespassers.

Judge j. ID. Evans, trespass agent of
the state land office. is after trespassers
OH state lands, and is making it very
lieely for them, and furnishing them
plenty Of business and an opportunity
for investing some of their loose change
in settling for their depredations on
state timber. During the past six months
he has recovered and paid into the
State treasury from these trespassers a
sum amounting to over $4,000, and has
developed a great number of heavy steal
ing cases, which, owing to the statute of
limitation, could not be prosecuted.
This section of the state is now going
to be looked after. The agent COM
menced the examination of this county
last Monday, starting in on the southern
line of the county and will make a thor
ough examination Of the entire county
as rapidly as circumstances will permit.
Trespassers want to be looking up their
cash, for Mr.. Evans means bu:iness.
1t was upon the Recommendation OF
Gov. Bagley that an act was passed by
the Legislature providing for the APP.
pointment of an agent to look after this
matter, and is only one of the many in
stances of the Governors faithful regard
for the interests of the state during mis-
administration.

A Good Idea.

The Detroit Post, of April 9th, says
that Capt. S. b. Grummond, Superinten-
dent of the Detroit Tug association, has
concluded to send the three mammoth
tugs, Crusader, Owen and Sweepstakes,
to Mackinaw to aid the downward bOnnd
fleet through the ice if necessary. They
are we'll irOned and equipped with steam
pumps, hawscrs and everything neces-
sary to aid vessels i'm distress. They will
probably leave to-day or tomorrow.
In the early part of the week there
were two tugs seen out beyond the ice.
They were probably two of the above
mentioned tugs, and were possibly wait
ing for the fleet of grain-lOaded vessels
from Chicago and Milwaukee that had
been waiting the opening OF the straits.

A Marriage i'm High Life.

Yesterday afternoon just about the time
the lain was coming down the hardest,
there occurred in Justice SuttOn's office
an episode. 1t was marriage. Justice
Sutton tied the knot. Billy Mulvaugh
acted as groomsman. There Were no
bridesmaids. The determination to mar
ry on the part of the groom was very
sudden one. and brought about by the
force Of circumstance, and therefore he
had made no arrangements for the event.
He had Just come from the country. His
pants were tucked i'm his boots, and he
was covered with mud. One would not
have thought from his appearance that
he was so soon to be married, but such
was the case. The bride came in and
the ceremony was soon over, and the
two started out on their wedding tour
but they did not 90 far together. He
walked TO his home up the river last
night, while she rode up this IN Orning.

As is well known to our citizens, Mr..
Smith has been away nearly six months.
having gone to Westfield, N. Y, in De-
cember to the sick bed of his father. He
was taken sick upon his arrival there,
and since that time has been unable to
return home, much of the time being in
very critical condition. = Thinking that
he had improved sufficiently. few days
since, he started home. arriving on the
st. Joseph yesterday morning. The
journey proved almost too much for him,
and he was utterly Frustrated; so that
when they went out to the ice-bound
boat he had to be carried to the tug, and
on the arrival at the dock, to the wagon.
1t was feared by many who saw him
that he would not rally from the pros
tration. We are glad to state. however,
that this morning he is somewhat better,
and it is probable that under the influ-
ences OF home and good treatment that he
will soon be able to be around again.

towns having been properly organized
and have elected supervisors since the last
meeting of the Board. The Local Com
