the losers thereby. The exercises
were of frst-class literary order, the
best talent in this city participating.
We hear en- all sides that it was the
best of its character ever given in this
city. About two hundred persons
were present. The proceeds amounted
to $17.35, and will be applied to
liquidating the debt incurred in
buying the cornet for the Cong choir.
The money will more than wipe out
the debt and the ladies all rejoice

Wouldn't it be wise on the part of
the business men of Grand Rapids
and Centralia to combine and organize
a Business Mems Association for the
purpose of inducing capitalists to in
vest in our cities. It is known far
and wide that we have advantages
here for manufacturing, rarely found
In the Northwest. An association
would be great help and benefit to

every individual in it, Who will
make the first move in this matter.

One would naturally conclude
after reading the Enterprise and Tri-
bune in matters political and public,
that no man or set Of men, are honest
outside of themselves and those who
do their bidding They seldom, if
ever, see any good in any one not a
strict partizan in their own belief and
are constantly cautioning the public
about electing men who will conduct
the affairs of the city and county for
the interest of the people and "not
in the interests of few who embrace
every opportunity to gull the treasur-
les of the city and county" Why
this low and wholesale denunciation of
men in eur communities. Why not
specify -? Who are these rowing
thieves that gull the treasures? We
can't see any virtue in such low vulgar
slurs, which these two journals seem
to indulge in at every opportunity and
in a wholesale manner.

Milwaukee, is being quietly discussed
at Madison. Each Congressional
district is given one candidate, except
the Fifth and Sixth, the former being
Senator Sawyer's, and the latter SO
overwhelmingly Democratic that it
has been considered unnecessary to

posed is as follows: For Governor,

District; for Lieutenant Governor, j.
B. Treat, Of the Third; for Secretary

In December, 1877, EEwARD OvERTON, of
Bradford county, was robbed of about 5000
by RICHARD CONMEY. RICHARD was arrest
ed, convicted of the crime and sentenced. At
ter the conviction, but before the prisoner
was sentenced, his father, JOHN CONMEY,
had an interview with OVRRTON. He imag-
ned if he bought the prosecutor off his son
would be freed. He therefore gave OvERTON
5000 in money and his note for $3.50, on which
suit was subsequently brought by OVERTON.
The court below charged the jury in sub
stance that if the note was given to repay the
money stolen there was good consideration.
On this charge the jury rendered verdict
against CONMEY for $575. The Supreme
Court reversed this decision yesterday hold
ing that under the circumstances there was
no consideration for the note given by Con-
