The Democratic state central com

state a campaign document purporting
TO be dated at Saginaw and signed "A
Republican Lawyer" 1t is altogether
too diaphanous," as Judge Heckert
used TO characterize gauzy campaign
roorbacks, to catch anybody, much less
any Republican Lawyer" who is not
ashamed To append his signature to his
statements. Pass this fellow around.
During the latter part of last week
our streets presented an animated ap-
pearance The sleighng on our smooth,
graveled thoroughfares was excellent
and used for all there was in it, Every
body who could make the raise of a
horse, no matter how fast or how slow,
and cutter, no matter how elegant or
in what stage of dilapidation, was out
enjoying the pleasurable and healthful
exercise.
The Ariel Thomas Combination
which occurs on March lS is expected
to be the treat of the season. The fol-
lowing clipping both shows their repu-
tation, and reveals the way to lengthen
the program: To say that all were de-
lighted with the entertainment but
family expresses the pleasure derived
from the evenings performance. Each
of the ladies is a star in her own par
ticular sphere. An encore was given
on every number, and when the pro-
gram was closed the audience dispersed
with evident reluctance Cambridge

A summer school, of six weeks dura-
ton, will be opened at Hartford in July

Of the opportunity thus presented
putting themselves abreast of the b.
of instruction.

The first temperance meeting under
he auspices of the Y w. G.. L. II. was
leld at the Disciple church Sunday
evening and IA large and appreciative
was present. Miss Jennie
Whitmer, president of the society, acted
Is master of ceremonies, and number
)f ladies interested in the work assisted
n making the services instructive and
profitable, recitatiOns being also given
~ little folks. Music was rendered by

Sixteen are lights, which are all that
he old council provided for, will go
INTO commission tonight. OF this num-
Der, Main and Kalamazoo streets will
have eleven or twelve, as now located,
leaving but four or five for the balance
Of the streets. That this distribution
Df the lights will create dissatisfaction,
here is no doubt. Not that anybody
thinks the streets mentioned have too
many, but that sixteen lights are insult
icient for the territory contributing to
the expense of maintaining them. Let
rs start in this spring on broad gauge
plan of doing business. Our people are
willing to pay for n sufficient number of
lrc lights TO H0ht the UiiLage property,
and the new council will undoubtedly
anticipate the wishes of the tax payers
by at once ordering the erection of at
least ten more lights.

and the printed bill of fare was a pro-
phecy of good things that was fulfilled
to the letter, the feast, as usual, cater
ing to the esthetic as well as to the
physical tastes of the guests. The table
was arranged in hollow square and
frightened with dainty dishes of trans
lucent, quivering jelly of contrasting
colors, while a centre piece of flowers
frozen into an ice pyramid topped with
the pure white blossoms of the Gala
lily, elected much admiration. The
evenings entertainment consisted of
parlor farce having the following cast
