Mr.. John Bathsric has received letter from
John Kelley, who recently removed from this
place to Middleton station, Hardiman county,
Tennessee. Mr.. Kelley rs well pleased with
the country and speaks IN glowing terms Of the
opportunities and advantages that are offered
to those who desire to seek new home. He
says that farms with good improvements in
the way Of clearing, fencing and orchards but
generally with log houses, can be bought cheap.
He says that the people there want northern
men TO come there and introduce their meth
DDS. There appears to be woeful lack OF
mechanics OF nearly all kinds. He saws the
soillis good and that there are plenty OF good
timber. He says that in the vicinity where he
is located there are no wagon makers, no cabin
ct makers, no shoe makers. no undertakers, no
butchers or meat markets. In short We infer
that there is almost total lack OF those voca-
tons, callings and conveniences that are indis-
pensible to northern communities, and that
they will all have to be introduced by northern
men. He says people want northern people to
colo nize, with yankees and yankee appliances
and yankee institutions.

Last week we intended to have given an ac-
count OF the recent meeting Of the supern-
fendents OF the Poor, held at Grand Rapids,
but owing to press OF other matter we're IN
able to do so. W. W. Hodge represented this
county. One Of the subjects discussed was
that OF furnishing tobacco to paupers, nearly
all the delegates being opposed TO it, supt.
Hodge said that in Van Buren, county the Su-
perintendents had already stopped furnishing
tobacco to those in the county house, and the
plan of stopping, after the first month, worked
veil and without trouble to the superintend-
ents or the psupers. Next week we will give
synopsis Of some Of the addresses.

Gated the endowment by the State Of Profess
orship for teaching Veterinary Surgery at the
Lansing College. We think that that science
should be taught at the medical department Of
the University, as Comparative Anatomy falls
naturally IN the medical course. To endow ,
new professorship would be duplicating scien-
tiic courses, which, in our judgment, has al
ready been carried to sufficient extent.

During the day they received some pepper and
salt which they had ordered themselves thus
snubbing the middle-msn. But when they
wished to divide it up among their numbers
they we're in quandary. as they had nothing

some another; one insinuated that they had
better 60 to the store and get some paper, but
others objected to patronizing them. There is

Died-In this village, Sunday, January Goth,
Bertha, one OF the twin daughters Of Charles
and Susan Flanders, aged five years and ten
months.
They had been born together,
In the same cradle lay,
And by the same fond mother
Cherished from day to day.
And when they plsy'd together,
No stranger scarcely knew
The one child from the other,
Like as two drops OF dew.
SO thew had grown together.
Mind answering to mind;
Clinging to one another
Like two frail plants entwined
Oh had they died together,
AS flowers on the same stem
Wither in chilly weather,
Death had been sweet to them.
But Death, who still doth gather
The flowers that please him best,
Left one, and took the other
To its eternal rest.

IL the idea OF He'll to pass away? Much hps
been said by eminent divines IN the old world
as we'll as by our great moguls, Beecher and
SWING and other lesser lights in this country,
sh owing their lack Of faith in endless hell-tor-
ments OF the damned. II this doctrine should
be stricken from our creeds what restraint have
We on sinners what encouragement for the
saints ? Saint and sinner would be on an equal
footing. Christianity would lose it's vitalising
main-spring Wickedness would stalk abroad
at MONDAY. Facts are stubborn things. II
the Bible ever taught tho doctrine OF a lake OF
Bible ever taught infant dsmnation 1t does so
still, and no one having the fear Of that Book
before his eyes can doubt that for moment
1t is the leading doctnnal point Of the New
Testament as much as polygamy is Of the Old
Testament. Poor, fallen human nature is al
ways seeking some avenue Of escape from its
just deserts. And then this attack upon the
Bible is from such high source that 1t will
lead multitudes into open revolt to the long
established and fundamental doctrines OF the
church.
Though am one Of the least OF the disciples
yet feel it my duty to warn these degenerate
leaders and their admirers that say what they
will, think what they may, this conclusion must
be reached by every rejecting mind: II the
Bible is the word Of God hell will be their por-
ton, together with all the nations that forget
God.
