The Grand Ridge Incorporation.

In conversation with a gentleman
from Grand Ridge, yesterday, the
matter Of the Incorporation of that
village was brought up, in which the
gentleman placed new light upon
the matter-viz: That the seventeen
farmers who are raising the "kick"
about being brought into the incorpO-
ration are associated in the EARN
Ridge and Deer Park Mutual Insur-
ance Co.," carrying an insurance Of
$4,000: and if compelled by vote to
come under the incorporation of a vii
lage would lose every dollar of this
insurance, inasmuch as the insurance
company is not allowed by law to
insure any public buildings or town
property. 1t is stated that the afOre-
said farmers will fight it in the courts
to the bitter end.

Lee Bound Over.

John Lee, alias Lee Woodruff, the
forger, was given a hearing before
Squire Tryon last Friday afternoon,
an2 bound over to the grand jury in
bonds of $500. The testimony showed
that he was employed by Lacey Hibbs,
a farmer living south of town, and
went to the National City Bank, where
he inquired if w. j. Medley had an
account, and procured several blank
cheques. He then filled out cheque
for twenty dollars, forging Mr.. Neeleys
name, and attempted to pass it at
several saloons, as mentioned in a
recent issue of the FREE TRADER.
The offense is punishable by imprison-
ment in the penitentiary.

while it lasted, O'COnnell, of Chicago,

down on the fight and there was a

to give Rowdy the championship of

His Birthday.

Friday last, Dec. 9Th, was Mr.. John
Hossack's birthday, having arrived in
the advanced age of SO years. He still
walks with a firm step and enjoys
good health, and were it not for the
condition of his eyesight, would ap-
pear upon the streets to be man OF
fifty. His life has been a comfort to
his family and children, and the
chances are that he will live to greet
them on many future birthdays. That
his declining years may prove as enjoy
able to him as those that have come
and gone, is the wishes of all who have
known him.
