The Church entertainment. The announcement that the Indies of the Congregational Church would give a musical and literary entertainment and supper at the Spencer House on Thurs day evening, was sufficient attraction to call out a large number of our citizens to enjoy the treat. We do not think we exagerate the mat ter at all wh n we say that this was the best entertainment ever arranged by the ladies of the church. The programme published last week was adhered to in the main. The lirst was a solo, duet and orusoh "My Mountain Home,'' by a quartette consisting of - Mrs. Perrin, Mrs. Rolio, and Messrs. Barker and Ramsay, the solo being sung by Mrs. Perrin. The fact that she received a hearty encore is suffi cient evidence that she sang her ''part well. In fact we may say that we never heard her sing better. , Then followed a recitation by James J. Brown, Esq., " The Raven, by Edgar A. Poe. So -well did he recite this difficult piece that he too received the compliment of an encore which he acknowledged by favoring the audience with a piece the style of which was entirely different. uMiss Maloncy on the Chinese question.1 In this Mr. Brown showed that he was equally at home with the humorous as the pathetic. , ...... . . . . . , This: was followed by , a duet, How Dear to me the Hour,' by Mr. and Mrs. Rollo. This was a beautiful song anc beautifully rendered. James J. Brown then favored the au dienco with another recitation, down upon the programme a3 "An Order for a Picture,' but was changed to "Father Blake's Collection, on acconnt of the non-arrival of the book containing the first named piece. In reading this Mr. Brown fairly outdone himself; the sud den transitions from humor to pathos be ing so sudden that it Is a very difficult piece to read. Still he makes these trans itions apparently with perfect ease, and without fault.' ' As we stated at the time he read for the ladies on a previous occa sion, we consider Mr. Brown one of the best clecutionists we have ever heard, who does not, make reading a profession. ' " Softlj o'er the Rippling Waters," a solo and chorus, by the same quartette, came next, the solo being again taken by Mrs. Perrin, and she fully maintained the! favorable impression made during the singing of the opening piece. Here an 'addition to the programme was made, Mrs. Perrin favoring the au dience with an instrumental piece, which was brilliantly and beautifully executed, and received the approbation of the au dience Then came the closing piece of the evening, a duet, "A Golden Day, by Mr. and Mrs. Rollo. This was, in our opin ion, the gem of the evening, the rendi tion of which brought out well the splen did voices of both singers, and showed J the high cultivation which they have re ceived. . Xhis part of the entertainment was a success, and shows what can be done here with home t?knt. We have attend- . . a . r. J,.v. ei many entertainmeuis. .:uvv 41ri" prices of admission Were charged that were not equal to this. We hope to see several more of them before the winter is over. . The oyster supper which followed was equal in its way with the programme of the first part, and seemed to be equally enjoyed. We hope the success of this entertainment will induce the ladies to irrange more. In connection with the above we take pleasure in publishing the annexed card of . thanks from the ladies of the church: CARD. The ladies of the Congregational Church desire in this public manner to express their thanks and appreciation of the, in every way, generous hospitality accorded them by Mr. and Mrs. Spencer In the use of their house for the enter tainment on Thursday evening last, and to all others who kindly assisted them. ; Br order of committee. A Suggestion. . In another column will be found a no tice regarding the annual meeting of the pioneer association which takes place sometime in February. The Tribune made the suggestion some time ago that, thU bring Centcnn!? year, it would be very appropriate that a hUt0.r7 of the county be prepared before the people who were personally cognizant of the impor tant events of the county's history should have pased away. In connection with the meeting of the pioneer association, we now renew that suggestion. One of the oldest settlers could be appointed histor ian, and prepare a history of the county, in fact this section of the state, and form one of the most interesting and instruc tive part3 of the entertainment, and at the same time place on record many . im portant fact3 connected with the early history and settlement of the country, which otherwise would soon be lost. By all means let a historian be appointed. Rapid Settlement. At the next meeting of the Emmet County Board of Supervisors, on the first Monday in February,five townships in the southern part of the county will petition to be endowed with powers to organize a township. The law requires that the pe tition for such an organization shall con tain not less than twelve names. In the case of these townships most of them have the names of from tweuty to thirty petitioners, and one or two have even a greater number. A little over a year ago there was scarcely a homesteader in this whole section. Now the woods are filled with cabins, and the pioneer's axe can be heard in every direction. This country has been largely opened up by both the railroad and the state road. The completion of the inland navigation pro ject will open up a much larger territory, aud before another year we may look for an equal If hot a greater number settling in the vicinity of and adjacent to the large lakes. The net receipts of tho church enter tainment last ThuraUay evening were hi the peitfhood of forty dollars. , . ANetr Jail. It "will be seen by the official report of the Board of Supervisors that a resolu tion was adopted submitting to a vote of the people the proposition to raise $4,000 with which to build a new jail. The question will come before the people at the spring election. There should not be a negative vote in the county, for eve ry one knows that the present building, called a jail, is but an invitation to the criminal classes of other sections to come and make their home with us, and com mit their depredations upon our people, knowing full well that if caught they could easily escape. The sum of money asked for will not build a very extensive jail, but it will, build one which will answer the county a dozen years or so. by which time it is hoped that Chebojv gan county will ba wealthy enough to build county buildings which will be aii honor to the place. A Night of Suffering and Danger. Last; Sunday 'a maii named Joseph Blanchard, who is known by some of our citizens, with two companions, crossed from Point St. Ignace to Mackinaw in a small boat, the weather being quite pleas ant. They started on their return trip about four o'clock in the afternoon but were caught in the storm aud taken en tirely out of their course. They were out in the storm battling for their lives all night, running many narrow escapes. The weather turned cold and they all suf fered frozen hand3 and feet. They think they owe their lives to a keg of whisky which they were taking to the Point. This they tapped and by its aid they managed to endure the cold through the night. They arrived at the Point during Monday forenoon. Song for the Sanctuary. This Is the title of a new book of music which has just been adopted by the Con- CTesrational Church., and a supply of which lias just been received. Songs for the Sanctuary is now acknowledged to be the finest collection of church music extant, and is withal the most popular book in use. Over 230,000 copies of the book are now in use. The retail price is $2. The church has secured a small sup ply of them, and will dispose of them to those wanting at $1.33, the actual cost. They can be obtained at the bank of G. D. V. Rollo. We trust that all who feel able to do so will secure them at once. A Mean Act. Mr. John McGinn, a day or two since, visiteu tne scnooner Juarj jfi. l'erew which lies in the ice off Light House Point. He found that some villain who needs to be confined in a better jail than Cheboygan county affords had been upon the vessel and had wantonly de- destroyed her cabins. What ob ject any one could have in thus ruining property which could in no way be of any benefit to them, is more than we can comprehend. This is just about as mean a trick as could well be imagined, and it is a pity that the perpetrator could not be caught and properly punished. Our Dioceses. The monthly paper of the Epis copal Church in two dioceses ofhis state has ju'2t been greatly en larged; and in addition to bvlvg thi of ficial organ, it is now also a valuable fam ily religious paper, full of state and gen eral church news, stories, choice selec tions, etc. No Episcopal family should be without it. The subscription price has been increased to one dollar per year, but it is still one of the cheapest papers published. Liberal premiums are offered to clubs. Address Rev. J. T. Webster, editor, Detroit, Mich., with your name and one dollar enclosed ; or apply to him for premium list. The Charlevoix Harbor Improvements. On Thursday of last week. Senator Fer ry submitted a resolution to the Senate directing the Secretary of War to report upon the importance of improving the harbor of Charlevoix and to trausnit a revised estimate of the amount necessary to complete the same. The resolution was adopted. Unless Mr. Holman's res olution to stop all new work on harbor improvements should be adopted, it now looks as if Charlevoix might receive an appropriation. . The plans and specifications for the work proposed on the route of inlanc nav igation can be seen at the Nokthern Tribune office, where all information will be cheerfully given.
