STATE OF MICHIGAN. 9,
COUNTY OF VAN RJrRFN.

At a session OF the Probate Court for the
county OF Van Buren,, holden at the Probate
Office, In the village OF Paw Paw, On Thursday,
the 18th day OF February, in the year one
thousand eight hundred and eighty-one:
Present, Hon. Orrin N. Hilton Judge of Pro-
bate. In the matter Of the estate OF Hezekah
Sellick, deceased.
On reading and filing the petition, duly veri-
fed, OF Stephen w. Duncombe, administrator
OF said estate, praying, for reasons therein
stated, that he may be licensed and empowered
to sell certain OF the real estate OF said deceas-
ed, in said petition more particularly described |:
Thereupon 1t is ordered that Tuesday, the
18th day OF March, 1881, at ten O'Clock in the
forenoon, be assigned for the hearing OF said
petition, and all persons interested IN said es-
tate are required to appear at session of said
Court, then to be holden ut the Probate Once.
in the village or Paw Paw, and show cause, il
any there be, why the prayer OF the petitioner
should not be granted.
And 1t Is further ordered, that said petitioner
give notice to the persons interested in said es-
tate, OF the pendency OF said petition, and the
hearing thereof, by causing a copy OF this order
to be published In The True Northerner,

VII rein the parties lived in the northern part
OF this county, that 1t was any advantage TO
them to have the judge reside at Kalamazoo
In that instance the parties lived at South Ha-
ven, one OF the solicitors at Marshall and the
other at Paw Paw. They stipulated to take the
testimony before his Hon. Judge Halves at Kali
amazoo, which, no doubt, was an advantage to
them. When casa is heard at chambers, or
themselves do not usually attend-simply their
attorneys; therefore the question resolves itself
into this whether the people OF this county
shall continue to pay the expenses OF their at
torneys to Kalamazoo to attend court, or wheth-
er the people OF Kalamazoo shall pay the ex-
penses of theirs to come to Paw Paw for the
same purpose.
As to the other part OF the argument, that 1t
is q State Office, and that that point is more
central to other parts OF the State: The bust
ness that comes before the court from outside
the circuit is comparatively small, and we are
nominating judge for the convenience OF our
own circuit.
In view Of the fact that the convention six
years ago broke up in row which has been the
means Of engendenng an Ill feeling IN the party
between the two counties ever since, it is be-
lievsd that our neighbors will deal justly in the
matter, at this time, and give to Van Buren, the
nominee for the ne xt circuit judge.

The Southern members Of the House seem
to be divided as to the real object OF the pro-
prosed item Of s1,OOO,OOO in the River and Har-
Dor bill for the Improvement OF the Mississippi
River. Chalmers, OF Mississippi, representing
that candid element of ex-Rebels which makes
no secret OF the intended grab, admits that it
is the hope and demand OF the South that the
North shall be made to contribute toward re-
pairing neglected levees and protecting private
lands from overflow; while Gibson OF Louisi-
ana, realizing that something is necessary to
allay the opposition of Northern members to
such a incorporation Of public money for
private benefit, Is willing to agree as COM
promise that no part OF the appropriation Of
OIL 100000 shall be applied to the patching up
OF levees As to the other millions proposed
to be parceled out among the trout-brooks and
dry runs nobody seems to be making any very
formidable opposition, and the prospect ia that
the total amount squandered will be greater
this year than ever before.-Chicago Tribune.

The week just passed has been one Of floods
and storm, the like of which has not been ex-
perenced in this country for several years.
Those places which have suffered most from
the food, are Toledo, New Orleans, Washing
ton and Hoboken, N. j. At Toledo the Maui
NEE river raised six feet higher than it was ev-
or known to before, and swept everything be-
fore 1t. Bridges were carried away, vessels
were torn from their moorings at the wharfs
and dashed in pieces, and the widest conster-
nation filed the inhabitants OF the place; the
damage to property Is estimated at $2,000,000.
The whole lower portiong of the city OF New
Orleans was submerged, and more than 10000
persons were supplied with food by the relief
committee. A very novel spectcle was wit
messed, that or funeral in boats. Members
Of Congress and others were sailing up and
down Pennsylvania avenue IN boats. The
flats at Hoboken, n. r., were covered with wa
ter and 500 families were without shelter. A
large number Of other places have suffered
more or less from the inundation, and vast
amount OF property destroyed.

The editor OF the little Free Press d Courier,
in his issue Of the 10th inst, has seen fit to find
fault with the Board OF Supervisors OF this
county for not publishing certain portions of
their proceedings in some newspaper (of course
the Free Press IS Courier) as well as in pam
phlet form, as he claims the law directs, and
accuses Us, while County Clerk, Of "unfairness"
in receiving the bids for the county printing
This accusation is nothing new. for we have
heard It before from the same source, and in
reply to Il will say that during our term the
printing was always done IN accordance with
the resolution of the Board which authorized
it, and had always met with the approval OF the
Board; consequently we care nothing for what
the sneaking editor Of the little Courier may
say about 1t 20 long as the Board who author
lied us to let the job was satisfied. It is true
that at several meetings OF the Board we asked
them to form committee to let the printing
for the county, and thus relieve us from the re-
sponsibility and the malignant ISLANDERS OF ZEAL
Gus editors, which the Board always refused to
do. And besides, il the resolutions passed by
the different Boards of Supervisors for the last
four years relative to the county printing sho'd
have contained clause requiring the proceed
ings to be published in newspaper as we'll a.
in pamphlet form, the editor OF the little Cou-
rler is IS much to blame for the omission as
any one, for he, or some OF his most intimate
friends, prepared nearly every one Of those res
olutions.
Ed, your memory must be very bad for it is
but very few weeks since, when The North
erner was pressing the Courier pretty hard on
account OF some Of the secession measures it
advocated and libelous attacks upon some OF
our nominees, that you came into our Office and
squealed like dog with sore head and wished
oil personalities between the papers omitted
You have thrown down the gauntlet. We take
1t up, and you can lave war to the knife here

A number OF persons from this village at
tended the Masonic banquet at Bangor on FRI
day evening OF last week. Although the weather
was very inclement there was large attend
ance and all seemed to enjoy themselves. For
those who wished to dance McMillans Hall had
been opened and excellent music furnished,
while those who had grown more sober as age
crept on spent the evening in social converse
nounced, and from that time until long after
midnight the spacious dining room OF the Sc
bring House was crowded with hungry guests.
The dining room had been especially prepared
for the occasion. On the east and west sides
OF the room hung Masonic emblems, surround
ed by wreaths Of evergreens, while over the
doorway aud bay window an arch OF evergreens
extended, hung with number OF Chinese Ian
terms. The room was brilliantly lighted and the
tables fairly shone with their beautiful equip
ments. The supper was simply immense, and
reflected great credit on the proprietor OF the
hotel and the committee who had charge OF the
affair. On the following day the party from
Paw Paw visited the Furnace and Chemical
Worke. The latter place, to those who had
never seen it, was quite novel indeed, and the
visit WAS rendered very interesting by the kind
ress Of Major Pickands, who acted as escort
and spared no pains IN explaining the various
processes through which the smoke passes from
the time it is gathered at the kilns until it Is
manufactured into acetlc acid and wood alcohol.
To the question by one OF the party il this wood
alcohol had intoxicating properties, the Major
replied, g Yes, SIR it will make fellow scratch
considerably; and in Ireland they make from
it liquor that is drank by the inhabitants and
makes them drunk; but it differs in it's effect
from common whisky in this respect: that a
person will become intoxicated upon it, and re-
main so fer half an hour or 80, and then be-
come perfectly sober; consequently he can have
two or three good old DRINKS in single day
and be sober half Of the time at that while if
he becomes intoxicated on our common whisky
he does not get over 1t in three days"

The Allegan Journal is pressing the name Of
Hon. Dan. j. Arnold for Judge OF the Supreme
Court, and opposes the denomination OF Judge
Marston because he is young man and was IA
vorable to electing John j. Bagley United
States Senator. While we would say nothing
against Judge Arnold, for he is unquestionably
. man OF unblemished character and an uprie hit,
high minded judge, We do believe that Isaac
Msrston well deserves a denomination at the
hands OF tho Republican party. He came to
this country about twenty years ago, poor
Irisa lad, and by his industry and integrity has
won for himself one of the highest positions 10
the gift or the people. He at first worked on q
farm, and finally maintained himself IN the
University by doing the janitor work IN the law
building. After graduating he located In the
Saginaw valley and soon became known as
sound lawyer. In 1872 he was sent to the Leg
islature for the extra session of that year, and
IN 1874 was appointed Attorney General for
term OF nine months. In 1876, at the age Of SO,
he was elected Judge Christiancy's successor on
the supreme bench, and from the outset he has
commanded tie respect of his associates and
has made an upright and able judge. In his
career we have a striking illustration of the
possibilities which may be obtained by other
young men OF our State who have the ability,
industry aud integrity to obtain them.

Hon. George w. Lawlon, in your issue Of the
4th inst, complains OF the decision of the cir
was charged with arson. The Court followed
the decision Of the Supreme Court of this state,
made in like case, as it was bound to do, and
its action in the case is supported by the attor-
neys generally. 1t would have been an unjust
useless and expensive proceeding to the county
as we'll as to the respondent to have compelled
trial OF the case upon its merits; as the result
OF such course. in the event OF a verdict of
guilty, would have been promptly reversed. It
would be better for Mr.. Lawton to act upon the
suggestion OF the Supreme Court IN the case of
the Peopls vs. Snyder, and remedy the evil by
seeking further legislation therein rather than
compel the county to be to the expense OF a
trial OF the case In both this and the Supreme
Court il order to give the Legislature to under
stand that another escape hole" needs plug
ging. We believe that Judge Lawton is not
unskilled nor unused to preparing matter for
legislative action, and we know of no one who
has 90 fine an opportunity to do so with the
present Legislature, for he can 30 easily obtain
the ear OF at least one OF our Legislators. Let
the judge prepare the necessary amendment to
the law and all will unite in procuring its pass

Circuit Court.

The case OF Eamanson NJ. Matteson. Vs..
John L. Blackmer, Catherine Blackmer and
Stephen ". Duncombe, as administrator Of the
estate OF Hezekiah Seeck, deceased. was on
Monday afternoon bought up for argument
before Judge Halves, who rendered decision
adverse to the complainant. Mr.. Dallas Boude-
man appeared as counsel for complainant, and
B. L. Heckert, Esq, for defendant Duncombe.
This cause was begun August 18th, 1870
Messrs. Foster and Field then fling bill for
the foreclosure OF mortgage owned by Mat
teson, on the farm of Blackmer, in Hamilton.
and Selllck defended as the owner OF prior
mortgage. Mr.. Selleck was represented pri-
maraly by Messrs. Upton and Tucker, and bis
claim was, that although his mortgage was not
recorded until after that OF Mattesons, vet it
was prior mortgage, and that Matteson had
knowledge OF its existence, and that it was
lien on the land in question. Such knowledge
if it could be made to appear would be legal
notice to Matteson, the same as il the prior
mortgage had been recorded. The cause was
allowed to drag along until two OF the solicitors
and one party were dead, aud one solicitor and
three parties had moved out OF the Courts jur-
isdiction; but lately it has been revived and
brought to hearing with the above result, viz !:
The Court held that Milo d. Matteson, who
transacted the business with Blackmer, was A.
M. Mattesen's agent, and that he had full
knowledge of the existence OF the Sellick
mortgage, and the Matteson mortgage thus be-
came subsequent incumbrance thereto.
