Last Sabbath, Elder Welker had occasion to reprove quite sharply some youngsters who annoyed him very much timing his discourse. This was not the first offence of the kind and the speaker evidently had the sympathy of the greater portion of the congregation, several of whom declared their purpose of mixing a little law with the Gospel if neces sary to maintain proper decorum in the house of God during religious service.

For the benefit of our readers inter ested in the affairs of the University we have taken the pains to collect the following facts concerning the lives of the two new officers who this week commence their work on the campus. Mr. Harrison H. Soule, the Treas urer, was born in Orleans county, New York, and, an infant in arms, came to. Michigan with his parents In 1837. His father, Milo Soule, settled in Calhoun county, where the bOJ attended the district schools. His literary education was completed at Albion College, and his commer cial education at the Commercial College in Detroit. For the four y;ars following, he was a book- j keeper in the manufacturing estab- j lishmcnt of Jackson & Wiley, in De- 1 troit, and during that time he mar ried Mary, the daughter of the late Charles T. Parker, of Albion. For a time he was in the Detroit othce of the M. C. K. K. , then in business for himself at Fort Huron and Albion. Here, at the breaking out of the war, he engaged in raising a company, which was Co. 1, 6th Regiment of volunteers. Transferred to the 6th Michigan Heavy Artillery, he served in the department of the Gulf during the entire war, was in all the battles in which the regiment served and was always at the trout, except when in the hospital on ac count of wounds. At Baton Rouge he was severely wounded, and now is ou the pension rolls of the Ua S. For his valor on the field he was several times promoted and when the war was over, he was mustered out as Major ommanding the regiment. 11. . .......

R.,at Jack son, where for the past fifteen year he has been the popular ticket agent. His family consists of his wife and two daughters ; tho eldest married to S. S. Clark, of Bay City, the young est attending the Normal school. So with this varied and large experience Mr. Soule comes to Ann Arbor ad mirably qualified to fill the position of Treasurer of the I niveuity of Michigan. Mr. J. H. Wade, the Steward, is also a New York man, having been bom in Onondaga county, in 1835. When he was nine years of age, his parents moved to Michigan and lo cated in the township 01 Litchfield, Hillsdale counly. After remaining on the farm four years he moved to Joncsville, where he resided until 185a. In that year he went to C:i!:- fornia by the overland route, and alter spending four years there, he returned to engage In the mercan tile business. In 1872 he changed his business for a large hum, since which time, besides looking after his farm interests, lie has been occupied as railroad agent and also ith buy- ing grain, wool, and other farm pro- ducts. As regtrjrdd other matters, Mr. Wade has always taken an interest, in, and been 1 onneetcd with, all pubile enterprises that have been of meuient to Jpnesville, having held at some time or other nearly all the local township offices. Twice was he elected President of the village and Supervisor of the township, and for sixteen years he has been a mem? her of the school Board. Thus he brings to his new work a comprehen sive knowledge of affairs and a high reputation for integrity and efficiency. Ann Arbor is fortunate in gjduQg these two gentlemen, Mr. Soule and Mr. Wade, as citizens. Ann Arbor Courier. I have had some experience with the Jerseys, but mostly grades, ami I like them. There is no doubt but they have been puffed and bragged about by those interested in their sale more than their real merits deserve, but at the same time there are many points in their favor. 1 have found them hearty feeders, that will "rough it" as well as any other breed. Their milk uni formly shows a large per cent, of cream, and the butter a good color, and another thing in their favor is their precocity. I think they do as well to come in fresh at eighteen months old as most other cattle at two years or more. 1 have a three quarter grade heifer just two years old that has been giving milk for seven months, and if her milk is credited at two cents a quart, and the calf at half what it would sell for allowing the other half for raisng it the cow has more than paid for her raising in the time that most heifers would have been only a bill of expense. My family physician, living in the village, bought a half blood Jersey cow, two years ago from "the 'Squire." The cow had just dropped her second calf and the doc tor determined to raise it and to keep a careful account with both cow and call. The latter is now just ready to come in fresh, and has cost 31.50, and this includes $2 for the siring of her calf. He has had to buy everything she ate and his ac count is accurate. He has also kept an account with the cow, charging her with all her feed, and crediting her with all the milk and butter, whether sold or used in the family, and in two years the credit side ex ceeds the debtor by $140. This cow made, in May last, 50 lbs. and I oz. of butter. If a man living in town and buying everything, can raise a heifer to two years old for $30, it can certainly be done on the farm for much less. Some rainy day 1 will try to figure out the cost on Highland Farm of raising a two-year old heifer. Waldo, in The Ohio Farmer. g'For one dime get a package of Diamond Dyes at the druggist's.

They enter upon the duties of office and the state Legislature also meets at Lansing the first Wednes day in January following their elec tion, or the first Wednesday in Jan of every odd year. In our State Leg islature are 32 Senators and 100 Rep resentatives. In the United State Legislature are 76 Senators and 325 Representatives. What has become of the law of 1872, compelling children to attend school ! It is the opinion ot a great inauy of the supporters of our district schools that bookkeeping should be taught in our schools. We think hr Legislature should amend the schorl laws to that effect. Bookkeeping i: the method of keeping accounts of all kinds in such a way that any per son may know the true slate of his affairs. Kvery person engaged to do business should know how to keep a record of daily business transactions. The farmer, the mechanic, and even the day laborer should keep an at count with all persons with whom they have any dealings. No one should trust entirely to his memory. How much dissatisfaction, distrust and how many lawsuits might be avoided if we could only keep our account books in a proper way. Bookkeeping should be taught in all our district schools. It is a branch of education that should rank next to reading, writing and arithmetic. A person might as well postpone the study of arithmetic uutil he had oc casion to use it in castiug the interest on a nota, as to defer the study of bookkeeping till the cares of actual business drive him to it. And while he is studying bookkeeping Ik is also applying in a practical manner the principles of .irithmetic He is also learning to spell the name of a good many articles in common thai would otherwise escape his notice He is at the same time improving in penmanship. Now in looking at the subject in this light, wc have come to the conclusion that the district schoo' is the proper place to commence thi very important study. School teachers have a splendid chance to become temjcrnncc fa turers and to instruct their pupils to become temperate in all things. Al instructors should use their best en deavors to instruct their pupils in social and civic duties, the principle of morality, justice a sacred regard for truth, love of country, humanity, sobriety, industry, frugality, chastity, temperance, etc. W.
