 IT is reported that President Cleveland will have an amendment made to the name of one Miss Folsom about June 16th.
 ALDERMAN JAEHNE has een denied stay of execution, and on Thursday last was sem fenced to term of nine years and three months at Sing Sing.
 SHERIFF LEVAL1EY of Mansfield appears to be man not afraid to do his duty and his whole duty and to have ideas of his own as to what the word duty means. Officers of the law are for ferreting out crime, and making unlawful paths as thorny as possible.
 CONGRESSMAN AND Ex-Gov. LONG of Massa- chusetts was on Saturday last married to Miss Agnes Pierce, at Attleboro, Mass, the cere- mony being performed by the brides uncle, and in the Universalist church of which her father was for many years pastor.
 A DEFECTIVE who got hims elf locked up as an alleged forger alongside Maxwell. the St Louis murderer, got full conf ssi out of Maxwell and then went into court and told of it. This is st led ''clever wor ;" but how the "high-minded" gentlemen who defend rum sellers with ''can't remember" and other forms of perjury, must scorn such dishonor- able conduct
 DOWN EAST fishermen are fitting their schooners with armaments of steel guns and prejeetiles to correspond, and threaten troub- 1e to the Canadian craft that molest them This is all very wrong, but it's human nature, and in this present state of temper some of these embryo Paul Joness may put the state of affairs on basis that will give occasion for some very sharp diplomatic correspond ence, at least.

 MAY 3Oth coming on Sunday this year, in most states memorial services are held on Monday. This rule we understand to be fixed by the higher authorities of the G. A. R., and not left discretionary with the local posts It is very easily to be seen that it is much bet ter to have the week end than to begin with a holiday. Those who employ large forces of men find that Monday holiday results in the demoralization of part of their working force for the balance of the week, and are reluctant to shut down their works on that account In all cases where either Saturday or Monday may be made holiday the former day should be chosen.
 BILL, got through the last legislature in a suspiciously quiet way, gives Holland coun- ty henceforth but two terms of court yearly one beginning on the first Tuesday in June for criminal business only, and one on the first Tuesday in September. The judges may assign special terms, however, and and bar meeting is called to be held at Holland June 1st at p. m., which is expected to petition the judges for one or more special terms Judge Stoddard gets the credit of 1naugurating this new move toward the disruption of Tol- land county, and there is considerable indig- nation over the same. If we have judges who don't wish to hold terms court at Holland let them resign. Good men will accept the va- cated positions.
