Services at the usual boon to-morrow at the M. E. Church. Chicago Is fo be sold for taxos, nt least a person would almost, conclude such was the case from the fact that the Inter Ocean published 196 pages and four col umns of advertisements lor delinquent taxes. . The Charlevoix Sentinel says that the wood shippers cf that place are very much "down in the mouth" over the stagnation in the wood market, it being a hard matter to sell a cargo of wood in Chicago or Milwaukee for any ' more than $4 00 per cord. Rev. R. M. Thornpson,"of 'the Congre gational church, last Sunday morning cofmt'-ced a seriesoi sermona on ''Man." Tlie rtrst was wie ol the best sermons he ever preached here, and that is saying a good deal. We hope to see the church crowded to-morrow morning. , By rcterence to the official proceedings ol r. .unt il, it w ill be seen that the tax levy for the ensuing year is as follows : General tax. one-half of one per cent.; highway and streets, one-half one per cent. ; and a poll tax on every male in hobitaut of the village, excepting t hose who are actual memberSof the fire com pany. Those who miss the Wednesdayeven ing meetings at the -Congregational church are losing more than they think. Mr. Thompsons lectnre last Wednesday evening was equal to his'Sunday evening di-courses. ;is. indeed, they flftest all are. The Attendance is not nearly as large as It should be, or would be, if our citizens were aware ot the value of them. Owing to to the fact that the' village charter requires the publication of all or llinauccs yltTlirippe week after adoption, the Tribune issued an extra last Tues- ' Hay, devoted exclusively to them. It was supposed, until the moment of going tn prtfss last week, that their publication any time before June 5th. the time of ; their taking effect, would be sufficient. Sense Facts About 'Tke Basis we Teak." t-f , ' Pl Be : - m m mm i The IVc Press, last week, says that it was authorized by Trustee McKervey, Chairman ot the l'rinting committee, to state that it waf the editor of the Tiu iu xi:, and not l"he TYee Pre-s, who tried to mislead him. The reply which we shall make to this charge will be to pre set io public some "facts and lig-niv-," ma ii Tnsiee McKervey can then explain to the public wherein the TBI. attempted to miIead him, he v iil -tun I UiglH'r before the community than he does at present. In making a'. estimate of the amount ' of work lu be done, with Mr. McKervey wc estimated the ordinances at 4 folios each. Mr. McKervey looked over the ordinances and exprc-sed him-elf f-atis-tital with the estimate. Although there irere not thai number ot ordinances in force at the the time nor was there an' prohabititt d there being that many tuloiUed during the proent year we consented to estimate the number at 27. fin- figures upon which "the b:isis we look" was made, were as follows, as given by the Free Fres : l'ublishiug "27 ordinances, averaging sIjb folios : Tnma nte r ! Pt ;.!- biff Tei.o fn lavr nr M ie i'r .'rs .$36 o'. 56 70 . -8 Sj Now loj- the facts.

We will give Mr. McKervey the benefit ol all doubt as to munbr and fractions and figure the quantity according to the facts, and we have : Publishing 27 ordiin.uccs, averaging 4 t olios : Tkibuiik rate? 56 70 Free Pros rat s.... 37 80 Diffi reiiee in favor of the Free Pres .$1S 00, instead of 2i 30, according to -the tails we took. ".or 0 40 in favor of the TitiiiUNE over Uje "l-a-n." or on this one Item alone, lacking oulv 22 cents of the whole dijyicnee claimed by Mr. Mc1-1 early Tuesday morning. She discharged Kervey. Now as we u.-cd up $3 OS more a large quantity of freight for our mer than the differenea last week, on another chants, and passed on down, single item, it would seem to us that the j 'fhe smau schooner Willard A. basis'1 Is rather too weak for Mr.McKei - j Smith, of Charlevoix, arrived Tuesday vcy to stand upon. 'I he difference on morning w ith a cargo ol potatoes, which the two items t li lis, far explained now shows the Ti:n:i:sr. bid 3 08 ahead, and the difference will fcrow greater as ,he year advances. Wu Would nolt lika-fo have Mr. Mc Kervey expl ipi hovir happened that in . -the b;tis we took", the quantities esti mate l upon were much higher than the , aetqjil amount, w hen the prices were in laroT of'he Free Press, and much lower ; n hey w ere in favor of the Tribune. WV do tiot like to impugn Mr. Mclver- uj 's motives, or those of the Free Press, m giving him the figures, but "facts are stubborn things.7 The facts show that th report of the Finance committee, of which Mr. McKervey w a a member, was eoirreet. If Mr. McKervey cannot ex plaib - t'ei a lurily why he changed his mind, and m ule a different report, he can not comfdaln if he loses the confidence ol the public. The estimates which the T'KlBUNK gave him are shown to be very near the facts. Then, granting Mr. Mc Kervey's trouble, who mislead him? If ne fe"! laken pains to examine the fact iHtad of putting Implicit tidtli in the ; representations of the Free Press, he would have been in a better position to duv. The schooner Minnie Slauson arrived Ual .Monday from Ci.ieago, partly laden w ith grain. Ac., for McArtliur, Smith A Co., and took on a cargo Of lumber from that tbm, and cleared for Chicago. A T rotting Fark. A number of our citizens met at the office of W. S. Humphrey, Monday night, for the purpose of talking up Horse asso ciation matters, and in regard to the im provement of the grounds purchased some years since for building a race track. The subject was generally discussed, and all seemed to be of the opinion that some thing should be done at once toward ef fecting au organization and improving the grounds. The estimated expense for a track and necessary improvements was $300, which sum, it was thought, could easily be raised by the circulation of a subscription paper through the county, and a paper was drawn up,and Dr. Rcrriu appointed to solicit. It was suggested that the grounds also be used for the holding of county fall a This is in accordance with a suggestion made in the Tribune some time since and we believe that it will he successful it a proper effort is made ; but In order to insure success there should be organ, ized effort, and for this purpose there should be a society organized, with its proper officers elected, and whose duties should be defined in such a manner that they would know just what they were expected to do. There might be a Horse association and Agricultural sociccty separately, or they both might be in cluded In one organization. Whatever is deemed best to do, let it be done at once, and have the ground improved and put in readiness at as early a day as pos sible, and let the improvements be made both with a view to a trotting track and for holding county fairs. The utmost unanimity prevailed at the meeting, and it was decided to hold another meeting this evening. How Ho Squirms. In answer to the Tribune's request, that the Free Press should name some ut the'ahest citizens in Cheboygan" who had been viWfied and abused In its col umns, and who had been refused an op portunity to reply through the same, the editor of that paper, in this week's issue, refers to the case of Mrs. Hutchinson, whose letter to the editor of the Tribune was published In the Free Press. In an swer, w e w ould say that Mrs. Hutchin ?on never asked an opportunity to pub-, llsh any reply, and consequently could not have been refused. After the publi cation of the hi tide, to which Mrs H took exceptions. She called at the office of the Tribune to seethe editor during his absence. Not finding him in, she addressed the note published in the the Free Press to him, and we would ask all who have ever read the same, wheth er or not there was anything in it which would lead any one to suppose that it w is intended for publication, or that she desired it printed. The best citizens of Cheboygan who have been abused by the T&lBCaflE dwindles down, according to the Free Press, to this one woman for do they not say "w e never make an asser. tion we can't back up.1' We have re peatedly asked the editor of the Free Press for the names of those who have been so terribly abused in the columns of this paper, and the above is there suit. The editor of the Free Press knows when he makes such assertions ihar they are not true, nor can he produce the proof to "back up" his assertions Tlie Iffarinc City. , Mr. Wm, E. Warrmer, a prominent vessel owner ot Detroit, has purchased a three fourths idterest in this well known steamer. The estimated value of the Marine, upon which the purchase was made, wjis $45,000. A few years ago she was sold for $00,000. This would show that vessel property has suffered a heavy depreciation, under the pressure of hard times, within the past, few years. Iflarine Jottings. The X. T. propeller Champlain ar rived rrom below last Sunday evening. The schooner Meivina finished her cargo of wood Tuesday, and left for Chi cago. The Lawrence, of the N. T. line, reached this port on her downward pas sage last Monday. The City of Toledo arrived from be low Thursday night. She had a fair showing of freight for this port. The schooner Parana arrived Wednesday and loaded lumber from Mc Arthur. Smith & Co., for their j ard In Chicago. The propeller Milwaukee arrived were shipped from here to Alpena. The Marine put in her second ap- j pearance this season, last Tuesday. She had considerable difficulty in winding in the river, on account of a strong breeze blowing up the river. The steam barge Abereorn came into the river yesterday morning, winded around and left with out stopping run ning into Duncan City, where she is taking on a cargo of lumber. The propeller St. Albans arrived bound down, Thursday afternoo.i. When coming in she got too near tlie east bank ot the channel and struck bottom, but she soon worked herself off. The bark Cavalier completed her cargo of Board timber Wednesday evening, and left Thursday morning for Collins Bay. There being quite a breeze blow ing from the northwest, the tug Crusa der was brought up from Duncan and towred In r out. The steam barge Alpena and her consorts, Old Cowcord, Banner, and We nona, loaded lumber this week at Dun can City for Thompson Smith, and clear ed for Tonaw anda. The four had a total of 1,905.000 feet of lumber on board. The Wenona is the old propeller of that name with which most of our citizens were fa miliar. She is the largest ot the tow, and has 015,000 feet of lumber for her cargo. The Concert. The concert given at the Spencer House Hall Thursday evening, for the benefit of Mr. Geo. E. French, by his singing class, assisted by some of the best musical talent of our village, was a de cided success. The following programme was rendered in a very pleasing manner, and nearly every piece was encored : PART FIRST. 1. Chorus UE veiling Bells," Class. 2. Solo "Woman's Prayer, " Mis Kate Kinnev. 6. uuec "unuer tue ieauiuio owu Misses Mary and Lottie Brannock. 4.

Home,' Miss Tillie Goebel and class. 15. Solo, with vocal accompaniment 'Gathering Home," MUs Sadie Flana gan, and a quartette. 1G. Duct "Matrimonial Sweets," Miss Maggie Boggs and Chas. Perrin. 17. Quartette "Good Xight," Miss Stella Seaman. Miss Genevieve Smart, aim Messrs. Fred Hanoi and Joseph Cochran. In response to an encore of Mrs. Brown, she and G. W. Boggs sang "Fin negan's Wake." The entire programme w as given in such a manner as showed h careful preparation, and the singing of the class gave evidence of thorough training on the pr.rt of Mr. French. One great fault was the parts not being even ly balanced. This was especially no ticed in the base, which, though good so far as it went, was niirely to weak to give a good effect to the music in the j choruses. Quite a good anditnee was present, ami all appeared to appreciate and enjoy the entertainment. Luke Vessels uu tlie Ocean An exchange says: "The schooners City of Manitowoc and Thistle are not to be brought to the lakes al present, owing to the unfavorable condition of affairs here, and the fact that an advance has taken place in ocean freights. Advices have been received that the humor will go to sea again, probably from Quebec with dca's for Fngland-or Ireland. The schooner Thistle has been chart ered to take a cargo of coal from Providence, R. I., to Georgetow n, D C, at$l 50 per ton. It is not likely that any of the lake ves sels now on salt water will come back the present seaon." The Thistle, it w ill be remembered, loaded here last summer with board timber and deals, and Sailed direct to Europe. Let us be chain, in that wc may be healthy. To be thoroughly so. and to counteract eruptive tend ncics and ren der the skin white and smooth, let us use Glenn's Sulphur Soap. No eruption can withstand it. Depot. Crlttentous Xo 7 Sixth Avenue.
