The following from one Of our OK
changes SO clearly and fully expresses
our views on the subject that we copy
it without comment: You have an
undoubted right to stop newspaper

to do so on account of Tenderness"
for the editors feelings. Don't you
suppose he would quit bnying sugar
OF you or meat, dry goods, etc., il he
thought he was not getting nis moneys
worth, and why should you not exer-
else the same privilege with HIM
And when you discontinue paper,
do so manfully. Don't be so spiteful
as to throw it back TO the postmaster

Mr.. and Mrs. II. .. Cough return
ed 10 this place on the morning train
from Saginaw OH Monday. Mr.. Cough
informs us that he found his truant
wife working in private boarding
house in Saginaw and that the cause
Of her leaving him was on account of
what was said about her by the scandal
mongers of this place. Mr. Cough
wishes us to state that he would thank
these gossipers if they Will mind their
own business. 'lis pity that those
scandal mongers cannot find something
better TO talk about instead of lower

character Of respectable people. 1t is

and wish to bring others, who occupy
a higher position than they. down to

are made from whole cloth and AS they
are carried from mouth TO mouth an
addition is made in each case. DO to
others as you would be done by. You
who are guilty make note of this

AS the circus time approaches the
following is now in order: "Often-
times what cold-hearted professors
fail to see the world can plainly dis
Germ and occasionally cutting rebuke
comes from an unexpected source.
! The Detroit Post says that a circus
| in Virginia took occasion the other
day, at the close of the performance to
| speak plain and very searching wocds
which deserve the sober attention of
many more than those who heard
| them. In his painted face and mottl-
ed garments, he said: I'VE have
taken in six hundred dollars here to-
day; more than most ministers OF the
gospel receive for whole years
service. a large portion of this money
was given by church members, for the
audience is made up of members OF the
church. And,yet, when your preacher
asks you to aid him in supporting the
gospel, you are too poor to give Sany-
thing. But you come here to hear me
talk nonsense. am u fool because
am paid for it; L make my sliving by
it: you profess to be wise and yet you
support me In my folly. Now is this
not a pretty place tor christians to be
IMP Do you not feel ashamed of your
selves? You ought to blush in such
a place as this. Exchange.
The examination of Edward Thib-
odeau, late express agent at Melvin.
| for embeZZlement, was concluded be-
fore Justice Jones last Friday. The
accused was held for trial, and gave
bail for his appearance at circuit court.
The general impression among those
who heard the evidence, was that it
was not sufficient to convict.
| The circumstances are these: About
noon, on Saturday May End. IL package
containing $40 was given to Mr.. Thib-
odeau directed to Chas. Palmer at I'M
lay City. The package was placed in
blank book and left in the Office at
the depot till near six O'Clock in the
evening. The agent does not remain
at the depot in the afternoon. The
building is about 100 rods from the
village and the fastenings Of the doors
are quite insecure, and the evidence
showed that the building, and the
Office where the money was, could
easily have been entered. About
o'clock Mr.. Thibodeau ieturned to the
depot. and gave the package to the ex-
press messenger who delivered it to
the ageut of the p. o. " Z. A. Rail-
road at Clifford, III whose possession
it remained over sunday, and until
about O'Clock Monday afternoon,
when it was delivered to the American
express agent, who sent it to INLAY
City, where it arrived Monday night.
Sometime Tuesday afternoon. it was
delivered to Mr.. Palmer, who opened
it. and found In place of the money,
some pieces Of the Croswell Democrat
of date OF Aug. 22nd. 1t was in proof
that copies of the Democrat were in
the Melvin Office on the day the pack
age was left there. The theory of the
defence was that the money was alb
stractsd, and the paper put in its
place in Mr. Thibodeau's absence Sat-
urday afternoon. The envelope had
been cut open at one end and after the
change. was sealed up with mucilage.
