A very fine time was had at the Disciple
social held at the residence of A. +. Mcneil,
last Tuesday evening. The evening was

pastor, Mr.. Russell, and his wife. Supper
was served from six to eight o'clock.
We have received from our friend Ed.
Darling, q copy of The State, published at
Richmond, Va, containing the election news.
The entire front page of the paper is deco
rated with big democratic rooster that
seems to be giving vent to a regular rebel
crow.

Says the Dowagiac Times, "Brad Brooks
is under arrest at Kalamazoo, charged with
passing counterfeit money. Brad once fig

The Spiritualists and Liberalists of Van
Buren and adjoining counties, will hold their
next quarterly meeting at Marcellus, COM
onI
over Sunday. Mr.. G.. A. Andrus of Grand
Rapids, Mrs. Ollie G. Denslow of South
Bend, and others will address the meeting.
We have new and very remarkable breed
of wild turkeys in Van Buren, county, which
are so tame that the valiant huntsman has
only to lie in wait, while some small boy
drives them within easy shooting distance.
These are considered, we believe, a great il
provement over that variety which required
tying to sapling.

and held for trial in conjunction with Marsh
and w. X. Barker, for the murder of Harvey
Keith, has been released from jail on her
own recognizance. She departed last Tues
day, for her brothers, in Bloomingdale. 1t
is not probable that she will ever be tried
for being concerned in the murder, nor is it
at oil likely that a case could be proved
against her.
Robert McKinstry of Jackson-Col. Nc
Kinstry as the daily papers say, but Bob
won't thank them for it-has been appoint
ed pension agent at Detroit. McKinstry
was q member of the old Lafayette Light
Guard, of this village, the first company that
joined the army from this county, served as
private soldier, and lost a leg at Fair Oaks.
His appointment will give much satisfaction
to old soldiers everywhere. We congratulate
HIM.
The Odd Fellows social held at Fred
Covert's, last Monday evening was a very
quiet affair, but very enjoyable, nevertheless.
A fine supper was spread, of which Fred
partook at three different times in the course
of the evening. Mr.. and Mrs. G. are admir-
able entertainers, and the same company
would, without doubt, like to go there again,
if they could get permission. Wouldn't they
now, Mrs. B., M. and K?

citizens of Gobleville will show their custom
airy hospitality to all who attend.
We are very much gratified to learn that
our old friend, 9. A. Harrison is now entitled
to write his name with the prefix Hon., he
having been elected a member of the Con-
necticut Legislature at the recent election.
This must be all the more gratifying to 9.

sents has always been democratic by ma
jority of 200 and upwards. Blr. Fl. was
elected by 166 majority, The NoTHHERNER
extends hearty congratulations.

mathematician, and has good many ideas

Rowland last Friday. The parties were @.

been appealed TO the circuit court.

men on one side, and Ed. Gilman captain,
and sixteen men on the other. Capt. Show
