-It was with pleasure we noticed the name of A. H. SWARTHOUT among those who had conferred on them the degree of Bachelor of Laws, at Ann Arbor, on the 23d of March. During his College course he distinguished himself for his ability and aptness in the law, which was recognized by his classmates in their conferring upon him various offices of trust and honor in the literary and law societies of that department. Thopugh he was an active worker in those societies, with rare good judgement, he did not neglect his studies in the law, by so doing. If his College course be an index of his future, success will attend him in his profession, and society be benefited by his presence. Saginaw Valley News. (5 May 1881)-We are pleased to announce to the citizens of Crawford county, that Mr. A. H. SWARTHOUT, mentioned above, has come to stay with us, and has during the past week, purchased a lot of L. J. TRYON, just west of the Meat Market, on which he has commenced the erection of an office building, 12x20 feet, Messrs. Forbes & Tryon doing the work. Although the needs of the county in law affairs are not great, yet we trust he may be accorded a fair share of what there is to do, as we deem him a young man of ability, and a worthy acquisition to our pospulation. (5 May 1881)

The congratulation and merry making, no small part of which was the partaking of a regale wedding repast to which the best of farmers' stores and the most delicate that city caterer can furnish contributed, occupied several hours, and all passed most pleasantly. the wedding presents were rich, numerous and varied. the contracting parties are both well known in this city. Mr. SWARTHOUT graduated from the Saginaw high school in '76, after which he entered the law department of the University.
