The Lake County star. [volume] (Chase, Mich.) 1873-current, 1878-03-28

Reed City, last week, caused oy iracas
between DIR. Browne and John q. Pat
tersen, Esq. AS near as we can learn,
Browne felt aggrieved at something
Patterson had said, and went up into
the latter's Office for the purpose OF OBJ
taining satisfaction. Words passed;
blows followed; and the latest phase of
the affair that we hear is the arrest
of Browne, on criminal warrant, for
assault and battery. The case was to
have been tried yesterday. We are not
prepared to say as to the truth or false
ness of whatever stories are circulating
about Mr.. Browne; but one thing is GER
tain. In these days Of civilization,
with laws adequate to reach cases of
Islander; no man need expect to ham,
mer out good character for himself
or any body else, with his fist-espe-
cially when he raises his hand on u
crippled soldier, incapable of properly
defending himself.
Limited space will not permit us to
enumerate all the attractive features in
.Scridner's Monthly for April, which
lies on our table. Chief among them,
however, Is the illustration of life and
sport "Among the Thousand Islands,"
"lhe Teleph one and the Photographic"
"Deer Hunting on the Au Sable
(Mich)," and "How Lead-pencils are
Made" This magazine is always a
valuable source of instruction and in
formation, besides being enlivened by
romance and poetry. 1t deserves a
place at every fireside.
At the caucus, last Saturday, in this

cyl Alex. Dodds; Constables, Orlando
f. Phillips, Frederick Drilling, Abner
Curtis, Hiram +. Young.
At the election in Elk township, last
Friday, A. o. Lincoln, Ephraim Page
and A. B. Kline were chosen Justices
of the Peace. Now, the agitating ques-
ton is, was the election legal? There
was no Township Board. The meet
ing was called by the Township Clerk.
There was no registration Of voters. 1t
looks as if it wouldn't stick; and fur
ther, we can't see how Elk is going to
get legal election next Monday.
81. Nicholas for April is at hand.
The leading feature of the number is
the stories of foreign life; but we find
with them a full complement of poetry,
continuation of the serial story for
bOys-"Drifted into Port" and short
sketches, with all abundance of Illus
trations throughout. Published by
Scribner & Co., 743 & 745, Broadway,
New York.
In the April number of the National
Repository there are two illustrated ar
ticles-"Scenes i'm Norway" and "Pot-
tery"-both interesting and instructive,
There are other articles of true merit
and several select poems and the "Ed-
itorial Miscellany" fill out the number.
