The Making of Wills.

In will case before Chief Justice Cart
ter day or two ago, one of the counsel al
luded to the making of a will as one of the
most noble acts of mans life, and an act
which gave him the greatest pleasure in
knowing he was providing for those who
were to come after him. The learned Chief
Justice, who is celebrated for his pithy aud
sententious sayings, interrupted the coun-
sci to express his dissent. He said that the
making of will was not noble act,
neither was it an agreeable one. Most men
put off making their wills until the last
moment, and when made they were scarcely
ever satisfied with them. The making Of
will was the great compulsory act of a
mans life, and therefore there could be
nothing commendable in it. "If," said the
Judge, "a man could take his possessions
with him, all the property of the earth
would now be either in Heaven or hell"

surprise. but Mrs. Jewell and her estimable
mother, Mrs. Woods, were equal TO the occasion
and entertained their guests with a hospitable
ease and grace that made each one feel per-

party dispersed feeling that they had never
spent a more pleasant evening. Mr.. Jewell was
absent in St. Paul else he would have been
present and would most certainly have entered
into the merriment of the occasion with keen
relish. These little green oases in the drear

A Great Calamity.

DETROIT. July 26.-Tbe calamity threatened
at Grand Rapids for the past two or three
days, took place this morning. An immense
jam of logs which extended up Grand river for
miles has been lod ged against the bridge of the
Detroit & Grand Haven railroad near the city.
It has been Hoped the bridge might resist the
pressure. but it succumbed this afternoon and
went down with a crash. The
bridge of the Grand Rapids In
diana, Chicago d Western Michigan followed
suit. Millions of feet of logs have gone down
the river with the hood, and are almost certain
to continue down, sweeping everything before
them and going into lake Michigan. It this
proves true large additional number of logs
will be carried out at Grand Haven as we'll as
the destruction of all bridges there. Ultimate
losses it is feared ha 3 reaohed many hundred
thousand dollars. The calamity is unprece-
dented in this extent.
