The girls will get up the New Years dances

The town was full of happy DRINKS last

Farmers are killing of their old COWS and
selling the quarters on the streets for and

The party who sent us that German paper

The man. woman. or child who took Dor
rowed or stole q light, double harness out OF

Paw, Mich.
Last Saturday night one of the wild Irish
mans prisoners told him if he would come
into his quarters he would whip him. The
w. |. went in and in about two minutes the
=. concluded he couldn't do It,
fat woman. while on the way to the
post office the other day, stopped at the meat
market and called for twenty five cents worth
of stamps and didn't see her mistake till the
butcher had weighed up eight pounds of pig $
feet.
\ farmer applied to one of our magistrates
a few days since, for the arrest of one of our
city chaps, charging him with fraud and de-
ceit for selling him patent lamp lighter
for 30 cents. which he could buy at the ten
cent tables in Kalamazoo, three for quarter.
The magistrate failed TO see the point and
the defrauded went slowly and sadly on his
homeward way.
Charley Cook of Kendall was up before
Justice Galligan short time since, charged
with betting William Dorgan and dropping
him with great neatness and dispatch. He
plead guilty TO the charge, his excuse being
that William had refused TO pay 40 cents for
his supper at little dance Of which he was
manager. and that he had meddled with
Charley's domestic relations by sitting in his
vife's lap contrary to the rules of etiquette
in such case made and provided. He was
fined one dollar and costs.
Sam Galligan, the brindle canine from
Saginaw, has climbed the golden stair. Sam
was a good one, royal Bengal tiger in war, a
lamb in peace, but the promiscuous dog
poisoner was too much for him, and he had
to succumb. This is the same Sam that the
Kalamazoo papers kicked against, fearing
that he might become one of the deputy sheriffs
of that county, and claiming that they had
better timber at home. We have our opin-
ion as to that
