The gilt-edged correspondent of the

raging mad ever since.
Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Bitely and Mrs. Cal
vim Durkee of Pierson, came here Saturday
to attend the funeral of Mr.. Bitely who died
southeast of here, in the valley.
A select party will be given at Desenberg's
hail. Friday evening, and the M. Z. church
society will get up an excellent supper for
those who "trip the light fantastic toe.''

"All that seems TO be of interest at pres
ent are parties, especially those among the
juveniles. But If we should itemize every
time certain ones went to Kalamazoo, or
Detroit, or comes back, and should use
plenty of slang, we should have plenty of
news The pent up feelings of the Courier
correspondent found vent last week in the
above item which seems like, but is not. the
work of juvenile. Perhaps we had better
speak of Chicago, or some western city, and
tell who goes there, and who returns. Since
we have correspondent for the NoRTHERNER,
that paper has nearly doubled its circulation
here, there being at the present time nearly
hundred more NoRTHERNERs than Courters
taken at this Office. The slang which we
use don't seem to be much of a detriment to
the NoRrHERNER, and we advise the nice and
tender-hearted Courier correspondent to use
a little more slang instead of six months old
items, labeled delayed correspondence"
People get tired of items which eulogize and
laud certain ones to the skies, and want
news occasionally.

A drunken chap took of his coat the
other night, to whip Longwell's wooden

ing so by the marshal who happened along

He claimed the Dutchman had insulted him
by offering him some cigars and then hold
ing them so tight that he couldn't get them.
few days ago John Sykes went over to
the jail to transact some business with a
prisoner. The wild Irishman let him in
and turned the key on him, when he was
suddenly called away, forgetting all about
John. After an absence of four hours he
returned and found John prospecting like
steer and painting for liberty. After being
released he concluded that when he had any
more business with prisoner, he would
transact it through the diamond.
An old man applied to one of our local
magistrates, the other day, to commence a
suit against the state for false imprison-
ment, claiming that ne had been incarcerated
at Jackson for 30 years, for a crime of
which he was innocent. He said he was
charged with the murder of his wife, and
that he was pardoned by Gov. Bagley, and
he would settle for $4,000. The court told
him the amount claimed was beyond his
jurisdiction. "Sorry, sorry said the old
man, 81 had hoped to obtain enough here in
your court to buy me farm where l could
spend my declining years in peace and COM
fort" and the tears ran down his furrowed
cheeks as he went slowly and sadly away.
A certain j. p living not far from here
has three sick horses The horse doctor
prescribed a spoonful of powders which he
had prepared, twice day. The j. p. is an
ingenious chap, and so procured tin tube,
about 20 inches long, in which he would
place the powder and blow it down the
throats of his ailing steeds. 1t worked so
nicely that he thought of obtaining apatent
on it, and visions of brown stone fronts to
be built with the profits he would make
fioated before his mental vision. So, one
day, he invited confidential friend to wit
ness the operation. He loaded his tube and
inserted it into the mouth of his bay trotter,
when, Just as he was ready to blow, the horse
got the drop OH him and coughed violently
sending the entire dose down the throat of
the inventor. Then, there was some lively
sneezing, coughing, splitting, choking and
gagging, and the friend remarked that it
was a-of an invention. The visions have
sappeared-vanished into thin air.
