A nice, l3-pound pickerel hanging in from!
of 10. Hanson's market, Wednesday, attracted
considerable attention. II was secured by
the explosion of giant powder under water,
in lake near Decatur.
We are indebted to the managers of the
Santa Fe IN. NJ Tertio Mllenial, (one-third
of a thousand years. Association, for ticket
to their exposition beginning July 2nd and
ending August Sd, 1888. Owing to the state
of our finances we probably shall not be able
to accept the courtesy extended.
When we went TO our Office on the morn
ing of May first, we found tied to the door
knob, an elegant bouquet, with q card at
tached bearing this inscription, "For the
NoRTHERNER compliments of NJ. H., and J..
and l.. D." We return thanks to the un-
known donors for their pleasant May-day
remembrance.
A letter from s. Il. Oliver, renewing his

Died, in this village, on Thursday p. m,
April 26, 1888, Miss Eliza Paige in the ninety
second year Of her age. Miss Paige was an
aunt of Miss Abbie Barker. When young,
she was an intimate friend Of the poets
Whittier and Longfellow. Nearly forty
years ago she established successful ladies'
seminary in Ann Arbor, by means OF which
she accumulated competency for her old
age. Her funeral took place last Saturday.
Our toney young barber celebrated the
first of May. by taking unto himself an
"helpmeet,' The wedding was in grand
style, consisting Of a public ceremony at the
Free Baptist church, where Rev. Mr. Burns
quickly transformed Miss Ruth Graine, into
Mrs. George Roberts, after which the happy
pair repaired to their home which George
had already nicely furnished, and gave a re-
ception to the 6lits of the colored population
This county is apparently becoming a
very moral community. There has not been
a prisoner in our Jail for the last FIVE weeks.
There has not been a criminal case on the
calendar of our circuit court for the last
three terms. Doubtless thi5 state OF affairs
is largely owing to the fact that criminals
have learned that when they are brought be-
fore Judge Mills fo- sentence, they are sure
to get their just deserts, and not be let of
with nominal punishment.
w. n. Johnson came near being burned
out on Friday evening last. A barrel con-
t2ining ashes, which stood in the rear of his
dwelling, caught fire which was communi-
Gated to a large piano box which stood
against the house. Some youngmen return
ing from dancing school about IL o'clock,
discovered the fire and extinguished it. The
house would have been on fire in few min
utes more, and owing to the lateness of the
hour would, no doubt, have been burned.
BE careful of your ashes.
Decoration day viii be observed in this
village 10y the members OF Brodhead Post,
@. A. Il. The programme of exercises viii
probably be arranged at the next meeting Of
the Post, which viii be held on Thursday
evening, May 1o;h. They would be glad to
cooperate with the citizens Of this vicinity,
in commemorating the day. Should our
people be desirous Of assisting IN the exer-
cises, a public meeting ought 20 be called
and committee of arrangements appointed
to act with the old veterans. We hope this
will be done, and tha; al will participate in
honoring the memory of our fallen patriots.
On Monday petition was fled in the pro-
bate court by the creditors of the Chas. w.
Andrews estate, OF Hartford. requesting re.
moval Of the administrators and that new
appraisers be appointed, and a new invoice
be taken. The cause of action was alleged
fraud upon the par; Of the administrators,
and that one of the appraisers was per-
sonally interested. The court refused to re-
move, but ordered IN amended invoice, the
new appraisal 70 be made by the same parties
