George Smith. formerly of Brockway,
was buried on Saturday last at Spring
hill cemetery. The services were held
at Brockway, conducted by Rev. 5. n.

and exposure had contracted a pulmo-
nary disease, of which he died in st.
Mary's hospital at Saginaw on the 9th
inst. His parents, one brother and
sister have gone before, leaving five
brothers and one sister still living. He
was buried by the SHE of his parents.

the call of our Lord is respected, to be
ready for his coming. Blessed is that
servant whom the Lord shall find
watching.
Last week Cornelius Cooper, of this
place, who has been collecting for And
erson Il Co., of Pt. Huron, for some
time past went to Brown City to make
a collection from Geo. Riley, the livery
man of that place. The claim was
lease note of seventy dollars holding
title to three buggies. Riley went out
to North Branch to get the money due
him there, Cooper promising in the
meantime to wait until he came back,
or until o'clock p. m, Saturday. About
o'clock Cooper got tired Of waiting
and hitched OH to couple of buggies
and brought them down to Yale. An
after examination revealed the fact
that Cooper had taken buggy that he
had no lien upon, and Tuesday an Off
Ger came down from Brown City and
arrested him for larceny. The matter
will probably be amicably adjusted.

to hunt news, and clean the rollers,

and tell our subscribers that we need
money. We say that we have no busi-

living on gopher-tail soup favored with
imagination, and wearing old shoes,
and no collar, and patch on our pants.
obliged to turn smiling countenance
TO the man who tells us that our paper
isn't worth dollar, and that he could
make n better one with his eyes shut.
B. II. Noble, our popular banker, re-
Gently purchased new and improved
style of oil heating stove and placed the
same in his cosy apartments over the
bank. The principal heating part of
this stove is heavy brass radiator
which sets over the flame. The radia-
tor is filed with water, which, when
hot, warns a room very nicely. One
evening shortly after putting in this
stove, as Mr.. Noble was about retiring
for the night he thought he would re-
move the cap from the top of the
heater so it would work better. He
commenced carefully unscrewing the
same, when all at once-bang! went the
stove. the cap flew out of his hand, the
water spattered the ceiling, the room
was filed with steam, and DR.. Gowan
