We learned while at the Point
the other day that John Cadman,
known to many of our people. right
royal pattern of man, came near
being killed by the team running away
while out riding. He was thrown
from the buggy, and striking upon his
head was rendered insensible. He is
now considered out of danger.
Uncle Andrew Leicht of New Lis
bon, man whose heart is as big as
the Centennial, dropped into our Office
and showed US the Leicht of his coun-
tenance last Monday. Andrew doesn't
look a day older than he did four hun
dred years ago, when we sang the pat
riotic old songs in bis beer hail. which
we've quit now, not the songs, but the
beer hall, and we wish Andrew would
quit too, bnt he wont.
We are glad to see the genial face
of Dick Lunt again with US Dick,
and J. F. returned from Deadwood
last Monday, J. F. stopping briefly in
Milwaukee and Chicago: Those who
thought they had the deadwoo3 on
their perpetual absence, (and we don't
know of one who so thought) will be
disappointed. Glad to see you Rich
ard. do you want me to get right

After about two weeks more we
hope to get through our pressing reve-
nue. BUSINESS, when we will have tirne
to read the proof sufficiently to war
rant that tnuggets Of news" will not
read "maggots of news y s'purity of
motive . purity Of malice - ''tie
to, ''lie to ;" and the plural used in
stead Of the singular, besides a score
of other blunders which we don't pro-
pose to say anything about. We wont
blame the 'boys" Ever since we
went to writing school. and spanked a
girl with s1uint eye that made the
alphabet look like a japanese step lad
der, we've been bothered in everything
except Bell S letters.
Me know Of nothing that will
give the boys and girls Of Grand
Rapids and Centralia SO perfect an
idea Of the geography of Europe, as
to peruse carefully the war news over
a correct map of the territory where
the conflict is waging. Nearly all the
Chicago papers publish from time to
time maps of the seat of war, and
careful perusal, with the Geographic
news of the movements of the armies
will fix before one indelably upon the
developing mind the several geograph-
zeal points better than years study
at school. Try it.

remember how the Reporter and its
correspondents 'belabored us for it.
Now the Reporter endorses what we
then said in the following language,
which is an editorial in its last issue. !
The Exporter will yet agree with the
Tribune that Hayes was never elect
ed and ought not to have been
counted in. 1t will require only a
short time for this, as it has required
only few brief months for the Re
publican party to adopt the Demo
cratic theory of allowing the south
ern States to choose their own Off |
GERS and not bolster up defeated can
didates by federal bayonets. Here
is what our neighbor says:
Hon. MATT. CARPENTER is out1
