The village election Monday passed '■
oft' very queitly, and yet peculiarly.
As previously stated there was but one
ticket in the field, which naturally lost
for the election all interest, and nearly
all did not bother themselves to go and
vote, thinking- there was no use.
Things moved along quitely and up to
one -o'clock only twenty.votes - had
been polled. About three o'clock from
some unseen or aunheard of corner
sprung up a new idea of slipping in another man than the regular nominee,
for President and we judge from the
result of the ballot that somebody must
have put forth considerable hustling,
and they did it quietly too, as from all
reports,' none other than those voting
slips, the board included, knew or imagined anything of the kind. The
dodge was lost by six votes, as the hustlers were too slow in hustling, hence
they did not hustle in their man.
Fifty votes in all were polled, two of
which were thrown out, being spoiled.
The ballot stood as follows: Names with
a letter S added were slipped and were
not on the regular ticket.

An Allegan county paper tells the
following of a Shelbyville man which
may not be true: He had a well that
needed cleaning badly, but fearing the
treacherous quicksand at the bottom was
efraid to undertake the job. Instead
he hung his coat on a post near the
well and went into hiding for a few
days. His neighbors missing him and
finding his coat near the well concluded that he bad sunk in the quicksand
in the well, so they worked with a will
lo find his dead body. After the well
had been thoroughly cleaned in their
efforts to find the body, the man appeared on the scene and thanked them
for doing the job so well.—Stockbridge

Feb. 20 will long be remembered by
the pupils of the Spencer school, Pittsfield township. Miss Stroh, teacher.
The patrons of the school were present
enmass to do honor to the occasion,
that of raising their new flag. An appropriate program was rendered by the
pupils and teacher, after which speeches were made by parents and the coun
ty Commissioner W. W. Wedemeyer.
A sixty foot flag staff was raised and
the 10x16 ft. flag drawn up. Refreshments were then served and more singing and speeches were indulged in.
This is a well disciplined school, presided over by a hard working teacher,
supported by interested patrons—Register.
'It is striking to note the action of a
prisoner the last week or few days previous to the expiration of his sentence,
said a prison official yesterday. "He
has figured his sentence on the 'good
time' basis, knows the exact day when
he should leave the prison and associates all other events future and past
with that date. A convict can no more
sleep thfc night before his release than
an S year old American with a cannon
and manifold bunches of fire crackers
in his room the night before Independence day. I have known of convicts
who took a nerve remedy previous to
the last days of their prison residence
in order to be able to contain themselves during hours of expectancy
when every minute seems a day and
sleep is decidedly out of the question."1

Ynle Fires.
Do not the "kitchen middens" of
which geologists tell us—those singular
remains of gigantic fires and roasted
hones which science has discovered on
many a northern shore—mark the site
where the Ynle logs of tbe king's fires
were first kindled? Quantities of fossilized bones are embedded in the old world
ash heaps—bones which careful investigation assures us have been roasted.
Huge cooking places they must once have
been. The bones strewing the ground
after a carouse seem to have been a special feature of a Danish feast. We have
only to recall the death of Elphage, the
patriot archbishop of Canterbury, in the
days of Ethelred, who, although a prisoner in the Danish camp, steadily refused to deliver himself hy ransom, saying it would he treason in him to pay
the enemies of England. "Gold, bishop,
gold!" shouted the Danish troops, thirsting more for gain than blood, until, irritated by his constancy, they ran to a
heap of bones and horns of oxen—the
relios of their repasts—and showered
them from all sides upon the aged
Saxon. Elphage soon fell half dead, and
was dispatched with an ax by one of the
pirates.
We may gather some idea of these gigantic Ynle fires from the ancient edicts
and the allusions in the sagas to the all
important duty of kindling the beacon
fires at the approach of an enemy. Wherever the Norsemen settled these beacon
fires were established and their wardens
appointed. Olaus Magnus and Snorro
both prove that large trees were cut
down in the nearest forest and piled
npon the beacon hill until the blazing
pine wood must have resembled a burning mountain. Yet thiking's fire at the
feast of Thor exceeded the beacons on
the Norway headlands, as it burned for
weeks, for the feast of Thor was also
the appointed time for regulating all
borne affairs.—Notes and Queries.
