The Chippewa County News says:-The
long standing claim of the village
against the United States for pr ,eeeds
arising out of the settlement of titles at
this point, under the act of congress of
1850, seems about to be determined in
favor Of Sault Ste Marie. This will be

ings published in this issue, to the effect
that an account had been rendered In
favorof the village amounting to $6.25S,31

shortly transmitted. So far as it goes,

Detroit, is one of the latest examples.
He is reported as saying things that
would knock the bottom out of the creeds:
The Messiah is impersonal. The Jews
believed in the coming of the Messiah.
We see that in the remark of the woman
of Samaria to Jesus, who said she knew
the Messiah would come. The Millerites
or second adventists, have believed in
the cOmming of the Messiah, and have
been disappointed. And all others who
so believe will also be disappointed in
my judgement. The essential messiah
