Mr.. Woodman's exhibit of grains and
grasses was shipped from Grand
Rapids To Hillsdale, where il will be on
exhibition at that county fair this week.
This exhibit attracts much attention
wherever shown, and Mr.. Woodman is
besieged with applications from direc-
tors Of fairs at various places to come to
them, but he thinks that perhaps this
week will close the season with him.
Rev. w. j. Hathaway and wife re-
turned home last Thursday, and on
Sunday Mr.. Hathaway entered upon
the second year of his ministry i'm the
NJ. +. church here His return to this
people gives the utmost satisfaction,
not alone 10 his immediate parishion-
ers, but To the people of Paw Paw gen
orally, who hold the reverend gentle
man and his estimable wife i'm very
high esteem.
The NJ &. X. X. freight conductors are
no respectors of person or rank, and
they would stop train to "fire" high
sheriff, II he was not armed and
equipped with a freight train permit,
as quickly as they would a common
mortal. Indeed, it is said such an oc-
currence actually happened between
Decatur and Lawton but few days
ago These fellows, if they don't know
what belongs To the dignity of exalted
position, should be taught it.
During the recent reunion of the Van
Buren, veteran battalion, at Hartford,
an organization was perfected which is

Hartford; L't-Col., Geo Hale, of Covert;

The NoRTHERNER would respectfully
call the attention of the village marshal,
or any other officer who may happen to
be around, to a gang of young hood
lums who congregate on the corners
near the postoffice every evening, jeer-
ing at and insulting every passer-by
and making the night hideous with
their brawling and bowling. The writer
heard lady remark day or two since
that she would not dare to pass that
corner unattended after eight o'clock,
and even if she were attended she must
hear a perfect shower of insulting and
obscene remarks. Let half dozen of
the leaders of this gang be locked up
and fined rOundly, and the nuisance
will be abated.

1t must have been an entertaining
sight to the finny tribe, especially to
that class denominated rs suckers, to
have seen those two well-up-in-the-
world (6 #. y sports last Thursday wad-
ing the river in their endeavors to get
back to the starting point of their days

with high rubber boots and did fairly
well, only shipping a sea now and then.
The other, having on pair of peach
basket shoes, thought it IA matter of
prudence To strip for the fray" which
he did, even down To an abbreviated

rendered more abbreviated and more
