LONDON, Dec. 29.-The removal
of the British feet from Besika Bay
to the Gulf ef Smyrna was made ne.
eessary because of the serious risks
to iron-clads and crews during the
wintar at the unshetered anchorage
of Besika, but on the other hand the
transfer to another point so near the
Dardanelles signifies the alertness
with which England intends to
guard those important straits. While
forcible British Intervention is by no
means believed to be imminent, the
government certainly is emitting no
efforts at preparations for it.

In PROBATE CoURT.-ln the Pro.
bate Court of Island County, on the
Gath of December, 1877, the estate of
Colin Chisholm, who was lost in
the Pacific disaster, was finally set
tied, and dividend of 334 per cent.
declared and ordered paid to some
% creditors whose claims aggregate
$5,779. This estate has been in pro-
bate for some time; and being in
volved in the bankruptcy of Thos.
Cranney, was for that reason neces.
sarily delayed in settlement. Consid-
ering the large amount Of litigation
and the many complica tons in
which the estate was found, much
credit is due to the Probate Judge,
Hon. r. G. Hill, and to the attorney
for the administrator, G. Morris Hal
Ter, Esq, for the prompt, efficient
and satisfactory mnnner in which the
estate was wound up.

The Detroit Post & Tribune publishes
the following from Hon. S. w. Fowler,
of Manistee:
In your esteemed journal Of the 9Th
you have II gurbled, and in many res
poets, false statement, by your Man
istec correspondent, of IL difficulty with
one Stacy Thompson, of the Manistee
Times, in which it is alleged that 1
"emerged from hiding-placc and at
tackled Thompson with u Knife in
hand"
Thisis absolutely false. Mr.. Thomp-
sou had given my little children, aged
respectively . and 5 years, buriesque
pictures of their father and tried to get
my little boy to carry them into the
house TO his mother, and thus insult
my wife and children. When he came
back after perpetrating this outrage,
stood i'm my Office door with one of the
burlesque papers in my hand, and ask
ell him what he meant by insulting my
wife and children. He said he would
do what he Was n mind to in the street,
whereupon spit i'm his face; he then
struck at me and l took him down,
when Judge McAlvay interfered, and
that was the end oft. never struck
at him, and the only knife had about
me Was u little pocket-knife with
blades shut up In the handle, and NO
attempt was made to use it.
If there is any man who will see his
wife and children thus insulted and do
less than dill, he either loves them
less or has more Christian forbearance
than possess. Please give this place
as n matter Of justice to me, as well as
to your readers, among whom I have
many friends and acquaintances, and
oblige.
Yours, truly,
S. w. FOWLER.

IA WIDOW AND HER CHILD"

A singular instance of superstition

thus related: Going into Il neighbor's
house, one day last week, found one

it was case in which medical assis-
tance should be obtained. The mother
of the boy agreed that it WAS very bad,
but said that before calling In n doctor

A NARROW EsCAPE.-On Tuesday,
the sth instant, as G. w. Swift, of Os-
ceola county, was engaged in digging a
well for Mr.. John Nichason, OF Ellis
worth, and was operating at the bot
tom of the well-then about % feet
deep-the former came near being
crushed to death. Eugene Nichason
and his brother Ernest were attending
the windlass, and had drawn up a
bucket of gravel weighing about 300
pounds, and in attempting to swing the
bucket away from the well, it slipped
and started to go down the welt with
fearful velocity. Eugene, seeing the
danger, grasped the rope in his hand
and held OIL to it so firmly that the
flesh was torn from his fingers and
hand. He succeeded i'm checking the
speed of the bucket to such an extent
us to lessen the force with which it
struck Mr.. Swift, and SO, without doubt
saved his life.
Mr.. Swift received quite severe
scalp wound; Eugene, a very sore
hand, and Ernest, who attempting to
grasp the handle Of the windlass, had
his arm badly bruised by the handlt'
striking it In its revolutions.
