At regular meeting of Brodhead
Post No. 81 G.. A. r., held on Monday

animously adopted requesting the rep
resentatiyes in the state legislature from
this county to use their influence to
secure the passage of an act appropriate
ing $50, 900, To be expended in defraying
the expenses of the National Encamp-

George Meacham, of Breedsville,
took on an ugly drunk last Thursday,
and proceeded to run the town. He
had things started in good shape, but
Marshal Bailey objected to some of the
details of Meacham's administration
and bundled him into wagon and
brought him to Paw Paw. Arriving
here, Bailey made complaint before
Justice Mason, who gave Meacham 80
days i'm which to run" private room
i'm the bastile.
Last Wednesday afternoon Prof. Rob-
erts took his entire class in physics to
the electric light works for little OBJ
iect study. The dynamos and all the
machinery connected with the plant
were in place, and Mr.. Hugh Harrison
gave the class a comprehensive explain
alton of the entire system. The stu
dents were delighted with the visit,
and feel gratified To both Prof. Roberts
and Mr.. Harrison for the privilege OF
making the inspection and the practical
information gained thereby.
One more idol smashed. The luscious
tomato has always been supposed TO be
wholesome vegetable, but now some
Philadelphia doctors say il is injurious
to the system. An old lady in Boston
is also said To have evolved theory
that the use of the tomato as an article
of food invariably results in a moral
decadence, as it affects the brain in
such way as to obliterate the distinc-
ton between right and wrong. May
be somebody is making alcohol from
tomatoes. That product has been
known to work in just that way.
In the Oakland Cali Enquirer of the
18th inst. we find the following, which
will be of interest To the many friends
and acquaintance of the groom in this
place: "At the residence of &. h
Parmenter, 1868 Market street, at $40
o'clock this morning Charles Victor
Hugo and Caroline Elizabeth Hitchcock
were united in marriage by Rev. DR.. +
r. Ollie. The wedding was quiet, only
few friends of the contracting parties
being present. The happy couple left
on the morning train for Fort Bayard,
New Mexico, where Mr.. Hugo is inter
ested in the stock business"
Some months ago Mr.. p. +. Deal OF
Oshtemo advertised, in a paper known
as the Gilman, published in Chicago,
for a lady correspondent, announcing
matrimony as his aim. He gave in
structions to address BOX 35, Kalama-
ZOO, Mich" and in response to such
advertisement his mail at once began
to assume huge proportions. The
letters came from all over the country,
seven states being represented, and all
degrees of love were to be discerned in
them. The result of this correspond
ence was the marriage by Rev. j. Hath
away, in this village on the 18th inst,
of Mr. Deal to Miss Dorcas G. Waters,
of Morley, Mich, notice of which was
published in this paper last week. The
bride is 81 years of age and the groom
SO. Both appear To be completely salts
fed with the termination of their cor
respOndence
