The French Congressmen will
think a great many times before they
transfer their place of meeting from
Versailles to pans. The sansculottes
and the red caps of the Faubourgs
have so often been proven to be the
source of dangerous throat diseases,
that the law-makers are afraid #f
their influences.
It must be a pleasant thing to hold
office in Bussia, where all the officials
have just received notice by circular
from the revolutionary committees
that, although the latter will not attack the czar, they will continue to
kill his attendants, and particularly
the police functionaries, until the
treatment of political prisoners is
ameliorated. Reversing the old saying, Bnssia is now a despotism aggravated, not tempered, by assassination.

—Our Methodist minister is temperance through and through. Even
his dog wears a red ribbon. No oyster can business ?bOut him, either.
—What with moving, the band entertainment, re-building our cylinder
press and numerous other duties, The
PitEss is somewhat neglected this
week.
—Turn out to-night and hear the
band entertainment at the Congregational church. Admission 2Ji cent.*..
Give them a good benefit, and every
dollar of it Avill be used to benefit the
town.
—Many deem it desirable to locate
the new town hall more in the central portion of the village, than opposite of thc school house. Efforts
are being made to secure a lot next to
the post office.
—This year, Surray does not get
any library fund. The Farwell ring'
managed the town last year and failed to report those entitled to it. Verily, the ring believes in benefitting
none but itself.
—The supply of red ribbon having
given out, the temperance officers
have taken to the use of red tape.
This is good, but too much "red tape"
business has proved fatal to many a
prosperous society.
—Mr, Tom, Neal, of Hayes, says he
will raise the biggest squash aud
pumpkins in Clare county, and will
exhibit them at the fair this fall. If
he takes the prize, he would feel himself?'some pumpkins."
—Mr. John W. Calkins and Mr,
John Phimiessy have formed a copartnership and will establish a first-
class furniture store in town, as soon
as Miss Whitley is able to vacate the
building next to the post-office.
—It has been the custom to make
the oldest members of the board of
supervisorsitschairman, which would
again fall to Mr. Jonathan Green. As
Mr. Green declines, it will probably
be tendered to Mr, Smith, of Hayes.
Mr. Smith would make the best
chairman the board ever had.
, —The northern lakes are filled with
• fish, and sportsmen are enjoying a
jrare time. Burt Husted and two
companions took 412fromiWlson lake
in one night. When ex-sheriff Parish heard of this feat, it made him so
mad with envy, that he ran way up
to Post's mill to butt his head against
a saw log.
-—Our friend and patron, Mr, Friedr
Lange has worked up a fine trade
with our sister villages iti his bakGry

the support of all. He sells clear below bottom-rock, and only for cash.
He now bakes twice a day, showing

The April number of The A meriean
Young Folks, published at Topeka,
Kansas, comes to us full of the very
best reading matter for our boys and
girls, it is a paper parents need not
hesitate to place in the hands of children. It is finely illustrated and combines all the requisites for a first-class
youth's paper. It is sent one year for
o0 cents. The publisher offers to send
a sample copy free for examination.
No cheap humbug premiums are offered to secure subscribers, but the
best paper for the least money is
given.

The old notion that stump land was
good for nothing, not worth paying
taxes ou, or attempting to improve,
is fast becoming obsolete, and this
land is now looked for by parties de-
siriug to buy homes cheap.   In evidence of the productiveness of this
kind of land attention is called to
what is known as the Beidler tract in
Evart township.   This land was lumbered over years ago, and thought to
be good for nothing for farming purposes until quite recently when a portion of it was bought up by different
parties among whom was B. B. Lyon
and Geo. Ingersol who settled on a
portion of it about one year ago.   Mr.
Lyon cleared and put in to corn about
five acres which yieldexl a splendid
crop, the same ground he sowed to
wheat which looks as well as that on
the best hard wood lands.   Both of
these men Will pat in this fall about
15 acres to wheat each, and Mr. Johnson, who is on the same tract, expects
to put in 20,   Wherever these lands
have been improved the results have
more than met the most sanguine expectation of the parties improving
them.-'Evart "Review.

"Talmage. thinks there is a strife
raging "in" the churches, "a show of
ribbons." "This carnage of color
is. seen all over the religious"1 assemblage, alone on the outskirts may
,fe*.see~.iL:pi,n»^
solid columns, ablaze all througn the
service, five hundred broken and contrite hearts covered up in rainbows
and spangles! All followers of the
meek and lowly Nazerine! All in a
jingle and a flash! Ten cents for the
preacher, and one hundred for extra
trappings. The church of God hung
by the neck with gold chains, diamond • and locket! Unexperienced
persoji traveling on two yards of dress-
goods dragged by a lady going up the
aisle in front of him. Diamonds and
gold enough to pay the national debt.
For graceful, modest apparel we
have admiration, but not this strife in
christian circles as to who shall excel
in costly millinery. Our headgear
worth more than souls, teetering and
swaggering.up the aisles, to the disgust of all good men and the grief of
angelse
Enough money is expended in excess of requisite outlay for dress, to
relieve all poverty, and educate all the
ignorant, aud balk all the crime of
ourlaud.
We fear much of the piety of our
ihurches is being smothered under
.shirred basque and jabot ruffles. Some
of our christian gentlemen have boots
so tight they can hardly Walk in the
paths of righteousness, and they feel
in church more like swearing, than
praying* The poor are kept out of
church, because of their plain apparel
looking so common in the contrast
with the richer.
We need a reform. We want, a
great eclesiastiealreform. Take Paul
to first Timothy, chapters, 8, 9,10
verses, also first Peter, 3rd chapter, 3,
4, 5 verses and dress as becometh
those professing Godliness with good
works. .  .
And by your example and modest
costume subdue the extravagance, or
show these religious peacocks out of
the house of God.
You cannot sail into heaven under
such rigging. They would think you
had false colors and would level their
guns at you as being blockade runners. Coming up te the gate, the
angels- would conimand a halt, and
say, "you cannot come in!"

printer, not a-publisher, and iu no
way connected with the press, except
by a^ttiek _ind a fraud to secure it for
the Register;*he had no machinery,5,
on printing materials, nor facilities
for doing the work, nor did he legitir
matejy, or actually possess any means
offulfilling the contract. .
Sttu Because Mr. Green is no longer'
a resident of the county, and tlio law,
requires that the printing shall be,
done within the county. This may.
J)e_aceompHshjwlJ^^ in,
reside in the countjybut it is evident
that the law does not contemplate any
such tricks and games and subterfuges, and that the official printer should
actually reside in the county, or if he
moves out after receiving the contract,
that your honorable board should relet it to some Oijewho does actually
reside in the county.
7th. Mr. Green had no legal or
moral right to sub-let it to anyone;
and it was not for him to say who
should, or who should not do the
county printing. If he could not do
it himself, it was his duty to surrender his contract to the' board, and let
the board say who should do it, This
right belonged to the board of supervisors alone, and not to My. Green.
Hence,.illegal and void.
8th. The county printing, as executed by the sub-contractor, has never
been properly performed, having
been done in a loose, slovenly, and
incompetent manner. Take the Circuit Court C&lendar, for example.. It
is printed on poor P'lPerr the pages
are not lined at all, the leaves are not
trimmed and the coyer is of common
brown manilla paper. It was. condemned by every lawyer at the bar,,
and was a disgrace to the printer-and
the county alike.
9th. Because it was the beginning
of a conspiracy to swindle the county
at a future time. The laAV requires
that the official printing -should be
done by a newspaper published within the county, if such newspaper exists. Now there are two id the county. When there was" one only, the
board was compelled to pay §150 p
year for its printing. Now tbat proper takes it foi: less than oue-sixt__,'
that sum, viz: $23. /This is' wholly
to crush out opposition, leaving it the
sole paper in the county, when it may
chare any sum it sees fit, and the
county can't help paying it.
10th, Because,, if the pounty printing is worth doing at all, it is worth
paying" for at a fair price.
11th ."'Because, the proceedings of
the'.board of supervisors should be
printed in every paper published in
the county, be there one paper or a
hundred, and no discrimination
should be made on account of favoritism or politics. Then the board
shoidd establish a fair compensation
therefor, which sum should be equally divided among all the newspapers
in the county so printing the official
proceedings. _
And your petitioner humbly prays;
etc. .
