GRAND RAPIDS LOCALS.

From Our Own Correspondent,
Grand Rapids has been unusually active for
few weeks in several different ways. One is
in hunting out and doing what they can to
punish thing calling himself man) who,
through his moneyed influence tried to drive from
faithful, patient wife, who had helped him to
procure the money he was now using to destroy
her with. Another testimony in favor OF
woman sufferage-another case IN which ad-
vantage is taken OF the favor which the law
bestows upon the man, over the woman. But
did not intend to give lecture upon woman's
rights, this time, though 1 do strongly favor
them.
The cause OF temperance is also being agitat-
ed in this city as never before, many OF the
citizens pledging themselves not to vote for
any man unless he be known as temperance
man, and in favor of carrying out to the letter
the law with regard to the liquor traffic and
houses OF illfame. Temperance mass-meetings
are being held in which the clergy Of the city
take an active part. Also, the subject OF re-
yival is being talked, AID union prayer meetings
are being held at the different churches, but at
present, the temperance move seems to super
cede everything else, and God knows there is
need enough OF this question being agtated
all over our land, as well as here, and | hope
and pray that the time will soon come, when
this curse will be removed, and that action will
be taken against CIDER as well as other intoxi-
eating beverages. When think of tine career
that this as we'll as whiskey, has brought upon
some, feel as if 1 wanted 10 see them all
swept away where those who will drink when
they can get it, cannot even get, what some are
pleased to term, this harmless drink. But it
has only been few years since the same was
sald OF whskey, and to-day some who think
themselves good temperance men and women,
will defend the use Of cider, when it is even
now bringing Its. curse down upon them
have known Of old men fostering their desires
for strong drink with cider, until they have
gone down to their graves with the taint oi
drunkenness upon their otherwise good name
and / have seen young men with more thar
common intellect, groveling in the sand, anC
shouting and singing drunken songs and it al
came from their christian fathers cider barrel
How dare professsd temper ance and christian
men defend, or themselves drink, that which to
day is carrying bright intellects and nobl
young men the drunkard's road to drunken
ness and eternal death? But again, / did no
intend to give temperance lecture.
The building that is going on in this city a
present is immense. Four new furnitur
buildings, large woodworking factory, tw
new engine houses for the fire department
new bridge across the river, and new dwellin
houses upon every side, with every old shell i
the city full and many more who would NOV
in if they could find place to live.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE NEWS.

From Our Own Correspondent.
The school year at the College opened Feb.
25th, and although but few OF the students
we're here at the beginning their numbers have
continued to swell, until at this time they are
nearly all told. New candidates are constantly
arriving, as one might justly infer from the
number OF boys and trunks daily precipitated
in the depots in Lansing, aud from the numer-
GUS impressions IN the clay mud between Ian
sing and the College.
Inasmuch as many OF the students did not
enter at the beginning OF the term, and as
many Freshmen wsre not here during the fall
term. they are necessitated to study during the
the time allotted for their recreation. But we
notice that many OF them find few moments
to try their hand at kicking football in which
the older classes are afforded considerable
amusement by the "green' Freshmen who
kick most vigorously at the ball, and by a little
miscaculation on the part or the operator, he
suddenly loses his center Of gravity, the result
OF which can be readily imagined.
As it is customary for the Professor in chem
istry CDR. Kedze) to entertain the class at his
private residence once year, viz, at the time
OF bIow-pipe analysis, he was unable to do so
this year on account Of On invalid son, who
came home to be cared for. This, however, he
obviated by making little deviation, which be
did by presenting them with tickets for the
Remenyi concert last evening in Lansing. The
boys report the entertainment as very good,
but the return to their respective rooms and
finding largo per cent. Of them "stacked,'
was the part that they did not relish so much.
Van Buren county last year had the largest
representation of students OF any county in the
State, bat this year they have not, because oi
the exit OF Seniors and the dropping out Of
some Freshmen. j. ]. b.
