Rev. Mr.. Quaife's Lectures. A
very fair congregation assembled at
the Congregational Church last Thurs

scenes in this wonderful allegory were
beautifully depicted upon a canvass
and explained by Mr., Quaife in beau

the young people particularly the lect-

lecture on London on the following
evening was one of the most interest
ing we ever listened to. The various
features of the great city. its wonder
full underground railroads, its water
supply, its wonderful public buildings,
churches, cathedrals, ETC., the start
ling figures of food consumption, aud
the ways revealed by which over three
millions of humanity live, all, and
more than We can tell in the space al
loted us, made the lecture one of unu-
sual interest. The attendance the
second evening was not SO large az
could have been wished, but those
present enjoyed it exceedingly.

A Narrow Eseape-RabIin Bros
Pail Factory Catches ON Fire.

= al u oNSoAs SatShSS vi Il II Cs
The pail factory of Rablin Bros, at
Hurleyville came near being destroyed
by fire last Saturday. just as work had
been closed for the day. As is custo-
mary. the superintendent of the paint
shop washed his hands In benzine to
remove the adhering gum and paint,
and had gone to the FIRE to dry them,
when in an instant his hands were all
afame. He turned quickly toward the
pan, to which the flames were instantly
communicated, but Selling the pan he
ran to the door, and jumped to the
ground, distance Of nearly twelve
feet, unfortunately spilling guam
tity of the benzine, which rapidly
communicated to the woodwork and
sawdust. Fortunately, and almost
miraculously the flames were extin-
guished with the loss of two dozen
pals and badly damaged door. The
escape of the establishment consider
ing the infamable nature of benzine is
almost a miracle The foreman es-
capped with slight burning. and i'm
material bruises.

Mr.. Hewitt, the chairman of the ma

'his speech with an invocation fol-
peace, when he was asked by Judge
Cate why. if the decision was Infamous,
he advised yielding to it. Hewitt S
reply was, it was better to yield than
to precipitate anarchy and resolution.
That sentiment was characterized by
Cate as cowardly, where, upon Mr..
Yeates, of North Carolina, pbraided

ing those who yielded. as towards. al

LOCAL MATTERS.
HI. B PHILLEO, Editor.
Grand Rapids, Thursday, March o.
CITY AND COUNTY.

The City Election.-The election
passed off last Tuesday with little ex-
element, though some hard work was
done by both factions. The result
may be expressed in few words.
/. L. Mosher is elected Mayer over
Geo. r. Gardner by majority Of SO.
Seth Spaford is reelected Treasurer
over A. B. Sampson by 6 majority.
John Butterfcld is elected Assessor
over G. s. Warren by IL majority, and
jos. Dugar succeeds Mr.. Baker as city
Marshal, by majority of 4 votes.
The Aldermen elected In the first.
second and third wards are, John
Arpin. Henry Chase and George A
Neeves. The Supervisors for the same
wards are Seth Reeves, j. E. Ingra-
ham and Geo. A. Neeves. l.. Kroner
had no opposition for Police Justice.
The Justices for the several wards
are, 1st ward, Chas Slocum, I'd ward,
IL. w. Lord, Sd ward, NJ. c. Wood
worth.
The action of City Marshal Baker in
discharging his duty IN the collection of
Neevs's personal property tax aroused
the ire of the House of Neeves, who
sought to crush everybody and every
thing opposed to it's would be domi-
nant will. A special war was waged
against the offices of Mayor and City
Marshal. Men who had denounced
the unlawful course pursued by Neeves
in refusing to pay his taxes, were qnies-
cent, and went to the polls and indoors
ed what they had denounced in most
bitter terms. Virtually, a majority
Of the people have declared at the
polls, there shall bs no law for the
enforcement of the collection of per-
sonal property tax unless the taxpayer
be a poor, honest man, then 60 for
him without mercy"
So long as our people are willing to
be robbed, and made slaves to would
be aristocracy, just so long will they
find task masters, who will heap upon
them burdens, and dsfraud their treas
lry.

ker working for Henry Hamm in Ru-
dolph, in attempting to cross the G.

BILE attention.

A Terrible COugh.-How often
we hear the above remark during these
extrame changes of weather. Colds,
Coughs and Sore Threats were never
more prevalent among children than

to try a remedy which has excited
comments by physicians all over the
country, who acknowledge their sur
prise at the wonderful and happy re-
suits from its use. That remedy il
the well known preparation, HALE
CoUGH CORDIAL. Your own drug
gists Robinson & Schultz will tell you
that it is the best cough medicine they

it very desirable remedy for children

Read and Learn for Yourself
Many valuable discoveries and much
useful knowledge is kept from the
world, because of the immense expense
in making them known to the people
This is not the case with BosCHEE's
GERMAN SYRUP, although but a few
years introduced into this country its
sale now reaches in every town and
village in the u S. It's wonderful
success is curing Consumption, severe
Coughes, Asthma, and all other diseas-
es of the throat and lungs, was first
made known by distributing every year
for three years, over 100000 bottles
to the afflicted, free of charge, by
Druggists. No such test of merit
was ever given before to any other
preparation. Could you ask more? Go

Some time since there was a bill
presented before the city council sy
the city treasure for two years services
st $50 per year. The honorable coun-
ell all admitted said treasurer had done
well and ought to receive the amount
of said bill, but as it would be viola
ton of the city charter, they could not
allow said bill.
Subsequently some friend of city
treasurer offered a slight amendment
to said charter, wherein said council
might, if it deemed proper, pay to city
treasurer for services, not to exceed
500 per year.
How HIGH Is THIS.

There is pathos in the above rhyme
which only feebly expresses the an
guish which sunk deep INTO the heart
of the Dexterville statesman, after
finding that his bill amounting to $55
IS for feeding sick Indian, had been
allowed, and that it would probably
have been allowed had it been a third
larger.
We think we can hear the stateman
singing:
''One little Indian,

Well, George its all your fault, so bear

Some weeks ago a son of the forest
inadvertently ran into set gun in Dex-
terville township. Unfortunately for
George. he was directed to provide
for the big indian, to see that he
shouldn't starve, or die of his wounds.
Georges big heart opened like Balti-
more oyster toward that Indian. If
he had the smallpox. George could
not have done more Cor him. When
the Indian had recovered sufficiently
to tackle a cranberry marsh, the states
man of Dexterville puts in before the
County Board his little bill for staying

from January II 1877, and the Indian
