Chairman OF the Committee on Receptions,
and to the citizens of Graad Rapids, one and
all, without exception, are due, and are
hereby rendered our most sincere and heart

and princely treatment of their excursion
guests.

of the Grand Rapids * Indiana Railroad,
the Detroit, Lansing & Northern Railroad,
and the Saginaw Valley x ST. Louis Rail-
road, our grateful thanks for their unlim-
| tied generosity and careful management of

our disposal, and their unwearied efforts to
right any misunderstanding, and do justice
| TO all.
Rcs0ired, That we hail with pleasure the
completion of the new tie of business and
social intercourse this day celebrated. May
the bonds of friendship and mutuality of
Interstate interests now cen.ented be as
| endless as the iron bands, as enduring As its

hearted as the hospitalities this day show
cred upon us by the ladies and gentlemen
of the city of Grand Rapids-frst in its
manufactures. first in ITS courteous hOspi-
tality, and first in the hearts of the Sagi-

Il Man of Nerve.


STOCKTON, Jan, III. w. Blanch has
been a professional hunter for II years
While out hunting at Up. m. yesterday
five miles from Disappointment Slough,
having killed two ducks, in securing them
he discharged his gun into his right hand,
the shot tearing away two fingers, part
Of the palm, and decorating fearfully the
forearm almost to the elbow. In this con-
ditiOn Blanch scuiled his boat five miles,
dragged it over two levees, and
reached bis ark, where an assistant
placed him in a skiff and laid in the
stream % miles from Stockton, to inter.
cept the steamer for San Francisco. A
rope was thrown from the steamer.
Blanch fastened it TO his waist, was
hauled aboard, and an AmadOr county
surgeon, who happened to be present,
amputated the arm near the elbow. When
the bOue was reached the only saw to be
found was a meat saw belonging to the
steward on the CABIN floor. Bianch cub
mitted to have the arm taken off with this
instrument. The remnants OF the arm
we're rolled in a cloth and Blanch took
them to the city with him.
