smiled, and said ii was n good job-aDd
it was, too, and that We were pleased
to pick sp such items about Mrs. b.

While i'm Gaylord last Friday, we
called on our merchant friend Geo. III.
Smith, and found him rs jolly and So
cial as ever, and head-over-heels in
business. TO boot; but he found time
to subscribe for the AVALANCHE, and
tell us to call again, whereupon we
thanked him, and slid out for Com
stocks Great Hardware Emporium, ar
riving just iii time to catch an order
from him, and staying long enough to
discover that he has, by honest dealing
and moderate prices. secured the es-
TEEN and trade of the surrounding
country.
1t was with pleasure we noticed
the name of A. IL. Swarthout among
those who had conferred on them the
de gree of Bachelor of Laws, at Ann
Arbor, on the 23d of March. During
his College course he distinguished
| fn oh nd NJ -,
che law, which was recognized by his
classmates in their comforting upon him
various offices of trust and honor in
the literary and law societies of that
department. Though he was an active
worker in those societies, with rar,
good judgement. he did not neglect his
studies in the law, by so doing. If his
College course be an index of his fu-
ture, success will attend him i'm his pro-
fession. and society be benefited by his
presence. -Sdginap Valley Ne,oS.

citizens of Crawford county, that Mr..
A. III. Swarthout, mentioned above,

ring the past week, purchased a lot OF
l.. j. Tryon, just west of the Mea'
Market, on Which lac has commenced
the erection of an office building, l2x2C
feet, Messrs Forbes Il Tryon doing the
work. Although the needs of the
county I'm law Affairs are not great, yet
we trust he may be accorded fail
share of what there is TO do, as We
deem him IL young man of ability, and
a worthy acquisition to our population.
