Frank Howard will play the Spy of Shiloh
at South Haven, one of these days. assisted
by Zach Chandler Post, GAR. Wonder if
he will come to this place. Perhaps some of

Van Buren, was honored at the republican
state convention, by the appointment of
Judge Hilton as q member of the COM
mittee on permanent organization, Hon.
G. j. Monroe, on the committee on
resolutions, and Prof. G. ID. Lawton as
one of the assistant secretaries.
Drs. Hilton and Dunning are near neigh
bors, and though, like all doctors, they some
times disagree, they are good friends. There
is one thing however, frequent occurrence
to each, that makes them hot. That is to
be called out of bed in the middle of cold
night. with the expectation of a fat fee, and
then be politely asked TO inform the caller
where the other doctor lives.
The Sentinel is so bliuded by personal
prejudice and hatred that it cannot appre-
hend the difference between disproved accu-
sation, and charge that has been sustained
in the highest court of the state. The Sen
tinel man is sane and all right ON every sub
ject but one On that matter he is an abso-
lutte lunatic and his best friends know and
recognize it, and so cast the mantle of char
| itV over his words and his deeds
Long John, formerly of this place, but
now Decaturite, came over here the other
day under the impression that he could hold
all the red-eye for sale in Paw Paw. He
commenced painting the town a. 3 p. m. At
| 1880 he gave up the job and remarked that
there was more corn-juice in town than he
supposed. At $3.50 the boys visited him and
the billy goat, and started in to paint him.
but gave it up. They ran out OF paint.
We have received from Miss Edna Warren,
q copy of the PhG8ir Herdld, published in
Maricopa county, Arizona. Enclosed in the
paper was twig from peach tree, filed
with blossoms, and stalk of barley headed
out, and three and one half feet in length.
The date of the paper is Feb. 26th. How
we pity the dwellers in that warm climate.
About that date we were luxuriating in a
temperature from 20 to 30 degrees below
zero, and even yet have two feet of snow on
the ground.
The Allegan Journal and Tribune, came
to hand last week, thoroughly ensanguined.
Its first page was devoted principally to a
sketch of the rebuilding of Allegan, after its
destruction by fire one year ago. The Ale
ganians are entitled to much credit for the
manner in which they have performed the
Phoenix act. The J0unal says this was its
first red letter edition but may not be its
last. II certainly is one of the best country
papers in the state and is one of the institu.
tions of its enterprising home.
Wednesday last by Mrs. BENZ. Knowles OF
Geneva, we were shown a photograph of q
Dakota five months old boy of which John
Knowles and his Rife may well feel proud
Every baby boy is a trifle nicer than the one
belonging TO the other family, but such facts
need not interfere with the happiness hoped
for John, his Dakota citizenship in no way
interfering with the interest his friends here
have in him.-S6ntiHeL. Just how John
who is, and has been for years, a resident OF
southwest Colorado, should have citizen
ship and a boy in Dakota, we cannot say
Perhaps the Sentinel meant William instead
of John.

tor of the Presbyterian church in this vii
lage, delivered a lecture TO our people en-
titled, Lights and Shadows of Army Life
We wrote, at the time, commentator
notice of the address, but, in some unaccount
able manner, it was overlooked and did not
appear in the columns of the NoRTHERNER. W.
have simply this to say: IL is a very enter
tanning lecture, one of the most interesting
to which we have listened for many day
II any Grand Army Post should desire t.
have an interesting scamp fire." we would
recommend comrade Harvey and his lectur,
as a desirable feature of such an occasion
