UNION   BLOCK
M". R. Judsoti is Chelsea's new postmaster.  Again the agony is o'er.
"The Cosmopolitan" is the high
sounding name of a Brooklyn hotel.
Dr. Mchols, of Ann Arbor, sold his
entire peach crop at §3.50 per bushel.
The Argus says every Ann Arbor paper was last week edited by a democrat.
Chicken thieves stole 150 chickens
from a Brooklyn farmer last week. A
foul act.
'•i A large Southern exhibit will be one
of the attractive features of the coming
county fair.
Chelsea will try another fair and the
dates have.been fixed for October 7th
8th and 9th.
Ed. Stair didn't appear at Ann Arbor
last week with his "Barrel of Money,"
but will be there later.
An Ann Arbor man was nabbed by
the police at Detroit last week, for appearing in female attire.
One solitary thunderbolt leaped from
the clouds up near Hillsdale one day
last week and destroyed a barn.
The Dundee Reporter man is trying
to wake up that sleepy town and have
a little more enterprise manifest.
The clerks of Ann Arbor have for med
an association for mutual benefit* and
elected John Lindenschmidt president.
Dr. E. B. Chapin, of Grass Lake, lost
a §1,000 horse last week by its jumping over a fense into a ditch and breaking its neck.
The Courier says twenty-six persons
over 70 years of age have been burled
in the Forest Hill cemetery, Ann Arbor, since Jan. 1st, last,
- Several Dundeeites have been getting
their winter supply of coal from the
coal trains over the T. & A. A. Ry.
and it now promises to become quite
expensive fuelfor them, as they have
been "caught in the act."
Brooklyn Exponent: On Thursday
Uv. Palmer left the following on the
slate: Gone to the Devil's Lake picnic.''
Returning he found some joker had
erased the last two words and the last
letter of the next—Tableaux!
It cost Arnold Graves, of Brooklyn,
$12 in cash and a gold watch, in addition to his regular expenses, to take
in the Detroit exposition. The extra
cash and watch were stolen from him
while he slumbered in a hotel.
Grass Lake News: Mr. Eastman, near
Michigan Centre, has stopped running
his mUk wagon. His conscience got
sensitive, and he concluded to go out of
the business and lead a christian life
before it was everlastingly too late.
Silas Warner, of Webster township,
was run over by the cars at Dexter last
week and badly injured, one arm being
cut off. He was walking on the track
and being hard of hearing did not notice
the cars which were backing toward
him.
This is the way the Grass Lake News
man feels about it:
A Jackson man writes to ask if we
won't kind o' accidentally mention his
name in connection with a certain office. Not without pay. We doriyt propose to tote out the name of a stupid
chump for a fat place unless he comes
down with twelve thousand great, big,
round dollai-s. When we set up for a
target to be sneered at, we come high.
Courier: Dr. O. C. Jenkins, formerly
of this city, is again in trouble. He
was secretly married Aug 22nd to Miss
Rosalie Younger of one of the first
families of San Jose, Cal. When the
history of his escapades here was learned
Edward Younger went gunning for him.
It was too late, however, as the marriage had already taken place. The
couple left soon after for Santa Cruz.
Manchester Enterprise: Another example of the danger of driving upon
the highway, when steam threshers are
traveling was shown last Friday when
Misses Sloat, Lazell and Kogan started
out to drive to Saline to attend teachers' examination. As they crossed the
East Manchester bridge one of those
horse frighteners was in the road a
short distance ahead. Their horse became frightened and unmanageable and
they were thrown down the bank in
front of John Wisner's residence and
Miss Sloat's right collar bone was
broken, the other young ladies escaping uninjured. She was driven home,
Dr. E. B. Conklin reduced the fracture
and she is now doing well.

Prom last week's Democrat we clip
the following, believing many of our
readers would be interested in reading"
the odd and seemingly absurd laws of
some of our forefathers:
The term "blue laws" is applied to
such as relate to the private consciences
of individuals. All countries formerly
had such statutes, and the thirteen
colonies were no exception before the
revolution. The code of Connecticut is
often spoken of in this respect. Those
most noted wei-e of the colony of New
Haven, which was united with the
Connecticut colony in 1655. Here is a
full copy of the New Haven list, often
called the "Connecticut Blue Laws:"
