Our readers will remember that during last fall the T., A. A. & N. M. and
theD., L. & N. railroad had serious
trouble at Howell, when the former attempted to cross under the trace! of the
latter. The Ashley road finally got
through; but this did not settle the difficulty by any means. The D., L. & N.
road appealed "to the state officials, who
decided last week that the T., A. A. & N.
M. had a right to cross under the D., L.
& N. track; that the crossing must bo 18
feet wide in the clear; that an iron bridge,
with stone abutments, must be built, and
the grade of the Lansing road raised-
all at the expense of the Toledo road.

An Ithaca disciple
resorted to a very
method the other day
of Esculapius
'•persuasive"
to collect a bill
from a farmer patient who had absolutely refused to pay. Indeed, he
added insult to injury by denying the
account and hurling a fussihvle of cuss
words at the. doctor. This thing was
repeated several times. Meanwhile
the doctor watched his opportunity,
and a few days ago was rewarded by
victory. The debtor drove into town
with a small loud of wheat. After
selling tlie staff .if life he went to the
First National bank with a check for
his money. Tbe doctor followed
closely after, and as the man was
receiving his money, the doctor asked him for his pay; the farmer refused; heated words followed; both left
the bank; the doctor then caused the
man to accompany .rin to his office;
when once  (here the doctor  locked
rolled   tip
the ooor, doffed his ('tint,
bis sleeves and told his refractory
debtor that he would make mince
meutol'hi-! form divine if he did not
pay the bill. The man quailed,drew
his pocketbook. squared the account
and was allowed to depart in peace.
The doctor declares that tho only
thing he regrets about the episode is
the payment of the bill, as he was
aching just then to distress tlio man's
