Ann Arbor Sidewalks.
Don't talk about Roman acqueducts,
or things like that, to me;
Our sidewalks bave them all beat out
as they flow swift and free
In old Venice, in gondolas, maidens
languished, and played lutes;
In Ann Arbor, with their notebooks,
they go forth in rubber boots.
You've read of the maids of Normandy
as they braved the tides and rocks—
They're not in it with our college girls
as they make their eight o'clocks.
Caesar may have swum the Tiber—but
you bet 'twould make him blush
Just to see a simple freshman plunging thro' our' seas of slush.
Neptune could direct the currents with
a movement of his paw—
Here he'd be working overtime, with
just a gentle springtime thaw.

Old Deeds.

were given to his father, Ira Wood, one
is dated Jan. 3, 1841, and is signed
hy President Jackson, and the other

Buren, May 5, 1837. The first deed
was for 160 acres of land in Ann Arbor township, and the second grant is
foe land on which a portion of Stock-
bridge is built . Mr. Wood also has
in his possession a land grant to his
father in 1827 which is signed by President John Q. Adams.—Chelsea Standard-Herald.
"Pittsburgh Perfect"
Fences The Best Because
1. Stays|are Electrically Welded to tbe strands forming a perfect union
teind an amalgamation with the strands not found in any other fence.
2. All stay wires are made as heavy as intermediate line wires. A
fence, like a chain, is only as strong as the lightest material In it. Think
this over carefully.
3. No wraps to get loose, to hold moisture and cause rust.
i.   No projections to injure stock or tear wool from sheep.
5. Stronger at the joints than any other fence. Welded together with
electricity, *
6. Guaranteed that the wire is not injured at the joints.
7. Guaranteed adjustable to uneven ground.
8. Guaranteed that stays will not separate from joints.
9. Guaranteed all right in every particular.
10. Made by the most modern process and on the latest jmproyed machinery, .
11. Most of the weak points in other fences are on account of the way
tbe stays are fastened.
Our stays are amalgamatdd with the strands by means of electricity and
tho strength of the fence increased a hundredfold over the strength' of a
fence where the stays are wr.ipoed or damned on the strands.
You may pay more money for other fences but you cannot get as good u.
fence &*** "Pittsburgh Perfect."

Voting Machines Illegal.
The supreme court in a decision
handed down last October, in the
Helme case at Adrian, having decided
that voting machines in their present
form are illegal, when more than one
man is to be elected for the same
ofiice, like village trustees, the election commissioners for the village
have decided to use the old ballot
system for village election Monday.—
Standard-Herald.
Ann Arbor has been having its share
of high water.
Mrs. Christian Barth, of Chelsea,
died last week, aged 84 years.
Wm. Chambers, of Deerfield, received $25 for the pelt of an otter, the
other day.
A farmer at Morenci, while attempting to cross a bridge was swept off by
the current and nearly drowned.
The March' meeting of the Saline
Farmers' club, to be held at the home
of Leonard Josenhans, has been postponed to the second Friday in April.
S. A. Nickerson, of Hudson, is of the
opinion that a person is not too old to
have the mumps. He is 92 years of
age and caught the disease from a
grandchild.
Mrs. Mary Meyer, of Waterloo township, in an attack of despondency,
committed suicide last week by taking
carbolic acid. Her daughter Emma
died the following day from the shock.
A canvass of the shoe stores of Ann
Arbor shows that during the high
water freshet 1,600 pairs of rubbers
and 1,200 pairs of rubber boqts, aggregating a sum of ?4,00O paid out for
foot protection.
Since the dam went out at East Manchester, wells belonging to different
families in that neighborhood have
gone dry. Several years ago, when
the same dam went out, these wells
also went, dry, so it is quite evident
that the water supply was obtained from the river.—Dexter Leader.

GET   READY  TO   SPRAY.
Now Is the Time to  Prepare for the
Fruiting   Season.
Every person that has an orchard
should make preparations in the winter to spray that orchard, for by
spraying alone can the orchards be
protected from insect and fungous
pests. The men that still refuse to
credit the value of spraying have
nothing but their own observations
behind them, while in favor of spraying is a world of experience by the
best and mast successful orchardists
in the country. Can the opponents
of spraying point to a single large
orchardist that does not spray his
trees?   We believe not.
Spraying the trees protects them
and their fruit not only against many
insects, but also protects them
against a large number of fungi,
many of them so minute that they are
not observed until they have obtained
a firm hold of the trees. In case
the San Jose scale is present it is
necessary to do the work of spraying
in the winter while the trees are dormant. Any man that buys a spraying outfit will receive with that outfit full directions for using all kinds
of sprays and when to use them.
The man that delays very long now
is not likely to do any spraying this
season. A man might as well not
spray at all if he does not do it in
time, and frecmently the time during
"Which the spraying "should be done
to Gombat a certain pest is very limited.
