YESTERDAY a lady called at the East
New York station, and in deep distress
told Roundsman Herbert that her husband
had been acting SO strangely ever since
the beginning of the year that she con-
sidered it dangerous to remain in the
house with him. The roundsman sent
Officer Palmer to investigate the mat

residence he found her husband in an up
stairs apartment, wherefor minute or two
he conversed with the officer in quite "a

Presently, however, the convers atiOn and

him to be insane He told the officer

4 Valued Heirloom,

a RATHER tagico-comic trial has been
going On in the Stuttgart between bride
groom and his intended brother-in-law
over an heirloom in the shape of lock
of Schiller's hair. A professor in the
gymnasium had been some time paying
court to a daughter of the Commerzein-
rath. This gentleman had inherited from
his father, who was an intimate friend of
Schillers, lock Of the poets hair in
closed in gold medallion. After the
professors engagement to the daughter
he stated to the father that if he would
nounce his claim to the usual brides
dover The father informed him that in a
regular family conclave of his own father
it had been decided that the relic should,
through all posterity, descend to the eldest
son, and as he had son it was not in
his power to give it to his daughter The
professor, not to be thwarted in his desire,
set his wits to work to obtain the treasure,
and finding no other way practicable actu-
ally stole half of the lock- The father,
out Of love for his daughter, would gladly
have forgiven the theft to avoid the scan
dial OF exposure, but the eldest son and
brother was not to be conciliated unless
the stolen property was returned. This
the professor refused to do; consequently
he was arrested for theft, tried and found
guilty. The legal value of the treasure
was set at fifty thalers the professor, hav-
ing taken half, was condemned TO pay
half the value-twenty- five Understand
suffer eight days Imprisonment. Whether
the love affair will continue depends on

The college took vacation last Thursday to
allow the students and professors an oppor.
tunity to attend the State fair at Jackson. We
feel that we are not saying too much for the
exhibition and officers when We say that 1t was
complete success in every department. The
attendance was very large. The show Of cattle
was especially fine; some very fine Herfords
and some more common breeds were on exhibi-
ton from Ohio. The show OF Percheron-
Norman horses imported by the great import
err, Mr.. Dunham was the admiration OF every
one, and their stalls were thronged constantly.
Most of them were from Illinois, and one,
six years DID, weighed 1900 pounds; but Bangs
and Billsborough of Paw Paw had the finest
three year ODDS. AS breed, the Percheron-
Normans are fast gaining favor and seem to
meet q demand long felt for work horses by
farmers. Van Buren, county took the first
premium on county and private collection OF
fruit against large competition.-Mr. Garfield,
