Mrs. Brewer, daughter of Joshua Lee

children, only one. Benjamin +. Iceland,
of Rutland, Wis. surviving her. At the

Mrs. Brewer was a very energetic

many articles she has made within the last
ten years, that have been exlN bited at our
fairs, such as carpets, rugs mats, ETC..

membrance of the one gone before. She
was woman of advanced principles,
charitable and kind, always teaching tenn
perance in drinking, eating and talking
and never lost a chance for teaching les
son in either, but always with great
charity.
In religious belief she was a Universalist
and lived and died in the full enjoyment
OF the great love of an Heavenly Father.
Her last winter was spent with w. A.
Cook and Lasell G. Brewer, but the two
weeks before her death she spent in the
families of her other children and made
them, what proved to be the farewell ION

DR.. A.. G. Bruce, of Corunna,, has

Dr. Jabez Perkins of this city AS his

We hear that a special election is to be
held at Corunna ON Saturday to authorize
the council to issue bonds in, the sum of
$4,000, with which TO build new Jail.

of a city who are so poor that the
Treasurer finds it necessary to return as
unpaid about IL 300 out of state Tax of

The county seat war between COrunna
and Owosso has been settled by the board
of supervisors authorizing the erection at
the former place of a$l0,000 house and
Jail on the county grounds, -Michgan
Farmer.
Paragraphs like the above are afloat in
various papers in this state, but they are
far from being true. All there is TO base
them on was the passage of a resolution
by the board to permit Corunna to build
a jail and place it on the county grounds.
But it will not be built, at least. there is
no human probability that Corunna can
raise the money to build it, and if they
should, it would only intensity the war
for the location Of the county seat in
Owosso, where it is very evident n large
majority of the people desire it should be.
This the people Of Corunna know, hence
their almost superhuman efforts to prevent
the submission of the question. But it
will soon be submitted despite their
efforts.

Cyclopedia is the Encyclopedia for the
people. Its exceeding cheapness puts it
