DETROIT, MICH, Sept. s-Tele

villages of Carson, Charleston and

The townships of Delaware, Nun

County, and Bingham, Sherman,

out and deserted. The crops in, these
townships were ali harvested, and

remains of Henry Cole were also
found at Charleston, and family
named Susula in Paris town

children were overtaken by
flames and burned to death in
Watertown township. Another
family named Dennison have, it is
believed, been burned. Two fami-

feared, fell prey to the
flames near Richmondville. There

THE news from Long Branch this
morning is of a character to inspire
strong hope. DR.. Bliss declares the
President convalescent, and the in
telligence received of the patients
condition warrants us in believing
that he has foundation for his state
ment. The Presidents appetite is
improving, and yesterday he took
solid, as well as liquid, nourishment.
The fact that he has discharged
all of his physicians except the sur
geon in charge, shows what he him
self thinks of the situation, and we
have about as much confidence
in his opinions as in those of any
other one maa. He does not dis
charge them because of any want of
confidence, nor because Of anything
they have done or said, but because
he regards their further services as
unnecessary We infer that Hamil-
ton and Agnew will still be retained
as consulting surgeons, but we are
led to hope that their services will
not be needed much longer. We
will be disappointed if we do not
hear good news now all the time.
We confidently anticipate his rapid
restoration

The fall term of Professor GoOdman'S

brighter than before. The success of these

cause of the manner in Which they are con-

The above, from the Banner, gives our
readers an idea how Professor Goodmans
Business Colleges are being appreciated
by the best men of the country. He certainly
has made a complete success of the Nash
vile College, and from all indications the
Knoxville College will also prosper. The
fact is Professor Goodman is an indefatiga-
failure. Among the students we notice Mr.
Benz, Leayell in daily attendance, who, by
the by, seems TO be determined to waste no
time He is taking complete business
course at Professor Goodnlan's College, and
at the sare time spending some hours every
evening in the telegraph department OF
Messrs. Jones & Sons College learning tel
egraphing This is how il came to be an-
nounced that he had bought scholarships in
both colleges.
LADIES BUSINESS COLLEGE,
The Banner says Ia his usual enterl,ri--
ing spirit, Prof. Frank Goodman is contem-
plating the addition to his already we'll
known Business College department for
ladies. This has been determined upon in
view of the growing demand on the part OF
women TO enter the various trades and pro
fessions. We have no doubt this new de
parture Oh the part of the wide-awake pro
fessor will receive liberal patronage.
Persons interested should write to him
either at Nashville or Knoxville.
