says that +. M. Manning, of Albion, formerly
of this town, has been sent to the asylum.
We are informed that such is not the fact.

"Pete" says in last weeks Herald that re-
publican caucus was held in Waverly, in
Streator's barn, and called to order by DIR.
Woodman. The DIR. would not like to accuse
"Pete" of lying, but, nevertheless, would say

and an unmitigated falsehood.
Many of our exchanges have been telling
startling tales about the abduction of Ben
ton Harbor lass, by couple of terrible dark
les, intimating that the girl had been foully
dealt with. Itnow appears that there was no
truth in the report. The girl left home vol
UNFAIRLY and had been but short distance
away. She has returned and her friends are
very reticent as to the cause of her absence.
