Again on Sunday evening last a
service of song was bad at the Congregational church. Besides songs
by the full choir, a quartette, "Hear
Our Prayer," by 31 rs. Ina Horning,
Mrs. A. A. Shaver. .Mr. Shaver and
('. W. Chase, a duet "Hope Beyoud"
by Mrs. Horning and Mr. Chase, and
a solo, "Nearer, My God, to Thee,"
by Mr. Chase, were finely rendered.
Two Anthems, "The Lord is my
Rock," and "God is our Refuge," by
the choir, completed the service.
The pastor spoke brifley from the
text "This is my Friend."
Emerson Burnham of Vernon has
secured a pension which he richljy,
deserves and which will prove it
blessing to him in his declining
years. He fought gallantly for the
cause ofthe Union in the Civil War
and has suffered much on account
thereof. His certificate, received by
him this week, gives him a pension
of six dollars a month from September 5, 186:.', amounting, up to March
5,1885. to one thousand, six hundred
and twenty dollars (§1020.00.) Mr.
Burnham signed his vouchers for
that amount and sent them to the
pension office on Monday and has
since received a draft for the money.
All the people will unite with The
Pbess in congratulating Mr. Burnham, not upon his good luck,\for
there is no luck in it, but upon th^
recognition of his just claim for services rendered to our common country. It is our hope that every deserving soldier may be thus rewarded.

Answering an itquiry The Puess
will state that fly* arrests have been
made for alleged complicity in thc
county treasury robbery, as follows:
John S, CramefjChas. Beck, Alex.
Connors, H. J. Stearns, and Lou
Williams.
Among those gathered in this week
upon indictment!-for larceny of pine
timber are the following : Wm. Oliver, George McAdams, Ed Burton,
Wm. Hcpiinger, Frank Bowman and
Dewey Allen.   All gave bail.
Ed—"Joe, has tlie Supervisor called on you for assessment, yet?"
Joe—"Yes, he was at my house,
day before yesterday."
Ed—All right. Take my dog over
and keep him till I call for him."
It i> a satisfaction to the writers of
very long letters to feel that after the
first of July, they can just double the
weight of such letters without increasing the postage. A half ounce
letter now goes for two cents. After
July 1st an ounce letter can be fired
tin-ought the mails for the samo old
two cents.
The Piusss last week inadvertently omitted mention of an accident
which befell Martin, the five-year-
old son of George Lawrence. The
little boy was playing with tho feed
cutter when one of his hands got
caught in the cogs and two lingers
were badly cut and jammed.
Oliver Beemer and Frank Batche-
lorhave been arrested by United
States authorities, charged with selling liquor at Harrison Junction without paying the government tax.
The accused parties will go to De-
tgnt in June, having given bail for
their appearance thereat that timo
for trial.
E. L. Squire has moved into bis
house on Fifth street recently purchased of C. II. Rockwell, and has
rented the house vacated by lnin to
Rov. A. J. VanCamp. We understand that Ed. Horning will take up
his residence in Clare, occupying Josiah Homing's house, on Fifth street
east, vacated this -week by Elder
J VanCamp.

The case of the Peoplo vs. James
Surdan charged with the larceny of a

minutes to bring in a verdict of
"guilty."
The case of the People vs. Joseph
Gardnier Jr., charged with the larceny of timber from the land of Rust
& Hay is in progress. They adjourned this afternoon to awaitthe coming
of witnesses from ■ Saginaw. This
case and that of Joseph Dow will be

Harry Jones, charged on complaint
of James Lepham, with having been
accessory after the fact, to tho crime
of murder, alleged to havo been committed upon a person unknown to
the complainant, by Jim Carr, was
examined before Justice Brown today, and held to bail for his appearance at the next term of the Circuit
Courtin the sum of $.">,000. Jones
failed to give bail and goes to Hersey
jail. The case seems to be a strong
one against him. Had the Editors of
the Xhn.dai'rfattended the examination they might have gainedsoine information that tbey seemed to lack
last week when tbey wrote their
essay on the horse the officers unearthed.

Evart lievieic: Andrew Mack under sheriff for Clare County, together
with Mr. Beeman, have been scouring the county for something and it
looks to a man up a tree as if they
might "have a lien on." Mr. Mack
stands six feet four inches in height
and he finds it handy somo time
that he is so tall, especially when he
accidently steps oil'a bridge ;into six
feet of water, but then we won't givo
