had become separated from the
cardboard to which il had originally
been pasted. On reaching home. and
when about to commence the perusal
OF his purchase. he noticed something
between the velum and the boards.
Without much thought of what he was
doing, he unfolded the velum. when.
to his great delight, he saw what
proved TO be nearly a whole pack of
very rare and ancient PLAYING cards.
After keeping his treasures for some
little time and exhibiting them To his
friends, he was at last induced to part
with them for a considerable sum TO
the British Museum. lie has spent all
his leisure time since IN examining the
bindings of old books at stalls and

WHEN men who are not only willing
but anxious to work, as is the case with
some of the men in the mills in the
Saginaw Va ey. are interfcred with
and forced to quit work, rs has been
done several times of late. it's high
time something was done to protect
the laborer. The malcontent, who re-
sort to such course have reached tho
length of their tether, and have lost all
the sympathy heretofore shown them.

remain idle in the hope of bringing the
mill-owners to terms, that is their priv.
ilege, but the law of God and man ac.
cords TO all others the same right.
