The Union Temperance meeting was

delivered by Hon. &. l.. Eaton. The
church was crowded to its utmost ca
pacity. The pastors of all the churches

Mr.. Clayton Simmons, who was ar
rested in Ohio for alleged burglary, and
whose recent trial resulted in an ac-
quittal, has long been resident of this
place, and has ever borne a good
character. The clean showing which
he was able to make, by means of the
affidavits of well-known citizens of this
vicinity, aided largely in establishing
his innocence of the crime charged.
1t will be remembered that Capt.
Boyne, of the steamer Glenn, rescued
little child of Mr. and Mrs. Albert
Buechner, which had fallen into the
water from the dock at South Haven
last August. 1t seems that the happy
parents did not forget the brave act of
the Captain, for few days since they
went to South Haven and presented
him with a life size bust crayon por-
trait of the child, elegantly framed, ac-
its presentation with APP
propriate expressions of their apprecia
tion of his kindly deed. Fitting en-
blems commemorating the rescue, are
wrought upon the frame, together with
the words, civilian G. Buechner, saw
ed by Capt. Boyne Aug 10th, 1889"
Sunday morning Oct. eth. while
Keeper Cook and family were ut break
fast, two boys, inmates of the. county
house aged respectively | | and ii years,
gained access to the furnace room and
took some burning sticks which they
carried to the upper story and deposit
ed in a barrel of paper etc. Soon al
terward another of the inmates having
occasion to visit the room discovered
the fire and reported it to Mr.. Cook
who at once caused il to be extinguish
ed. Mr.. Cook thinks that in ten minutes
more the fire would have been beyond
control and the entire buildings, with
the possible exception of the horse barn,
would have been consumed. The boys
had made some threats several days
previously, and while it was not thought
much of, they had been watched Il little
more closely than usual. The boys
were arrested and lodged in the county
Jail to await legal proceedings.
Last Wednesday afternoon the Ped
estrian Club took up its weekly line of
march into the country and made Il
raid on the hospitable home of +. A.
Wildey, who literally received them
with open arms, assisting them into the
house with all the gallantry of Il knight
of the Table Round The spacious
house was placed at the disposal of the
invaders and the captain at once
marshalled her troops into the parlors
where some very original literary pro-
ductions were listened to with unstint-
ed applause. Thus the time passed
gaily on and the guests were just think
ing of girding on their armor for the
home ward tramp (of Mr.. Burdick's
horses) when their smiling hostess sug-
gested that they march TO the dining
room instead. Here they found most
delectable repast awaiting them, to
which, il is needless TO say, the APP
petites of these sturdy pedestrians did
full Justice Greatly refreshed, all re-
turned to the parlors where short
cane-drill together with some singing
and speechifying was INDUCED in,
