The bids put in for tbe contract of ereoting the County Poor House were opened at tbe Commissioner 'a office on last Friday, and tbe contract awarded to Messrs Thomas F. Simmons, ol Tieoepla, and Col. Dewees, of Philadelphia, they being tbe lowest bidders. Tbe bids ranged all tbe way from $67,000 to $108,- 000. Messrs Simmons and Deweea are ex perienced contractor, and we may expect tbe work to be pushed forwatd with great diligence to completion. Tbe first care ol tbe contractors will undoubtedly be to dis pose of the old Court House, wbiob was in cluded la their bid at a price of $2,000. Citizen.

I'm alraid somebody will steal him." " fou cant do It," said tbe clerk. "Take him out." "Well, stranger, that Isoruel; but you're both ditposltioned alike, and he's kinder company for you." "Take hi m out "roared tbe clerk. "Well,-stranger, I don't tbiuk you're bon est, and you want watching. Here, Dra goon," be said to the dog, "sit dowu bore, and watch that follow sharp!" and, turning on bis heel, said to tbe clerk, "Put blu out, stranger, if be Is troublesome." Tbe dog lay there till the train started, wntohlug and growling at every movement of tbe clork, wbo gave him tbe better part of his office.

A Toncblasr Obituary Tbe following tender and" touching obitu ary is from tbe Detroit Post : Died, in Ypsilanti, oa the morning of the 9th of August, 1870, Jerry, aged 11 months 2 weeks, 3 days and 4 hours, infant sou of Josep h and Syrena Howels. Grim death has taken darling little Jerry, Tbe son of Joseph and Syrena How els Seven day? be wrestled with the dysentery, And then be perished in bis little bow els. It was nlbe Saviour that wanted little Jerry, Which suffers little children to come unto Him It's probable now that he's practicing very Assidlout like, bit little angel hymn. Most likely 'twas weaning injured little Jerry, His bottle seemed tone to damp his stomach's But with tbe angels he'll get plump and merry, For there's no nursing bottles where he's gone.
