A motion to locate the exact southeast corner of Cherry and lcut streets was made in council Monday night, and created a small hretzo for a time nmongthe aLJUrr men, in which references were midd to "neighborly unpL-asantnts.-es," "the chang ing of Ixjundary lints between proptrtit," all based upon thiat ct;rrjer, as trtabli.-hd ince "the mind of man runnfth not to the contrary." It was al-o intimated by several of the astute f ntht-r.s that if the city fcurveyo? should, following the example of many of his vorthy (?) pridrct-soors, establish a new lo cation, from which the residents in tho neigldofh(H4l would have to again take their "bearings" and get new "metes and bounds," it would neceitato the moving of several hoi?es, rai.Mj Cain in general, and oien the tloodgates cf litigation and neighborly dis sension. That t)n-e city "d adV didn't 5al; with out a cue is made tdguiiicant by the fact that the records of the Circuit Court yester day fhow that Ada R Wilmarth Ikis begun a suit in chancery against Robert H. Wood cock to comiel the latter to remove a cornice on his barn, which tb' complainant says projects over her premises wine sixteen inches, and to her damage to the amount of .rAjO. As the defendant's lot is bounded on the north by Cherry and on the west by Shtl don streets, and the complainant' lot is descriled as the second lot south of Cherry street, and as also a strip of land some six feet wide, supposed by the party of ihe one part to have been given up for public uses, and such uses denied by the other, presum ably, the motion in the Council, the cornice on the barn, this suit, and the jossibilities that may arise therefrom, may be sufficient data to found a hypothetical caf urxrai for the many smiling faces now seen among the lawyers. FOR THESTATE. Section A of the New State Artillery Mustered in Last Evening. The new military company, The Valley City Light Artillery, Sec. A, First Battery, M. S. T., was mustered into service last evening at the armory of the Custer Guard, West Side.Jnspector-General F. S. Hutchin son, of Ionia, was present to examine the officers and administer the oath to the men. Forty-one men were mustered in, and Joseph P. Iialcock was chosen captain: George ,K. Cogshall, first lieutenant; Josiah L. Stites, second lieutenant. The non-comrnissioned officers have not yet been appointed. The company is to bo armed with two pieces of artillery and battery equipment, and also to be armed and equipped as infantry. It will be uniformed the fame as light infantry in the service of the United States, except that the State button will be worn and all enlisted men will wear a red stripe on the pantaloons the same width as the infantry. The Case of Frank Widoe. The case of Frank Widoe, formerly clerk in Cole Bros', store, on Monroe street,charged with larceny less than $2o, was disused of in the Police Court yesterday. As the lad was under sixtesu years of age, and the ex tenuating circumstance was apparent that he had been subjected to the baleful in fluences of Wm. Church and Oran Barrett, now serving sixty and ninety day terms re spectively at Ionia, the Court remanded Widoe to the charge of the State agent and his parents. The probabilities are the boy will be sent to the Notre Darne School for boys at South Bend, Ind., where the discipline and healthy moral tone of the institution will, it is believed, make a useful, upright man of the youngster. The Orphaned Children. The case of the Lovell children was heard yesterday by Judge Perkins, and the two youngest, living with the mother will be sent to the school at Coldwater. The case of the other two, now with the father, is held open for farther consideration. The McGuire children did not appear, and it is understood the mother has taken to begging to secure funds to carry the outfit to Indiana, where she claims she has friends that will care for them all. The Iiovell mother is willing for her children to become wards of the State, but mother McGuire objects. IlAILKOAl 'OTKS. President Hughart, ofthe Grand Rapids & Indiana, returned homo yesterday from Cin cinnati. Superintendent O'Kourke, of the Southern division of the Grand Hapids Indiana, was in the city yesterday. According to a circular issued by O. W. Uuggles, general passenger and ticket agent of the Michigan Central, all clergymen and others engaged in religions work who have been accustomed to receive half-fare rates on this line, will, after Jan. 1, 1N", be required to pay two-thirds regular fare. The rumor published a few days ago in these columns that J. II. Palmer, general freight and passenger agent of the Chicago A: Wet Michigan, had resigned, proves to be true. Though the officers of the road are keeping the matter very quiet, The Free Press learns that Mr. Palmer will retire on Janu ary 1 and be ucceede-i by his assistant, J. H. Carpenter. Itroit Free Press. The Michigan Central road has addre?ed its paonger agents and newspaper friends in regard to the i-sue of advertising coupon tickets, which will be granted to editors and correspondents of pnrers published along the line of the road.

'Schiller" was the subject of Prof. Eggers lecture 1 i-t evening at the Ladies Literary Club rooms. The subject matter, F.cope of research and fund of literary knowledge con dued in thee lectures is evidently making more and more iinprtion, -judging from the increasing audiences attending, and the continued interest manifested by thoe who liave attended from the nr?t. The Profeeor prefaced his lecture list evening by review ing briefly the literary history of the eight eenth century, dividing it into two periods?, the second one beginning with the middle of the century, though carrying the influence of several authors' into the second half, as several of the second half had influenced the legiuning of the nineteenth. The tffect of Kousseau, Voltaire and others, and the effect of the insipid sentimeutalism of the period just preceding them were traced, which brought the eraker to the ioint of a proper introduction of his great subject. "Schiller" will be continued at the next lecture, four weeks from last night, which will be followed by three lectures on "Goethe.V Unclaimed Letters. The following letters remain in the jost oftlce uncalletl for: gentlemen's list. AAndrews W II. Allen John, Allen Chailes V (2h Andrus Ch&rle. ll lterrv Wrn.
