Inverness 5 Burt.. 2. Beaugrend 2 Duncan 1. Grant ". 3 Tuscarora 2. Munro.. 1 By order of Republican County Committee. . JACOB WALTON, Chairman. FRANK SHEPHERD, Setfy. Cheboj-gan, July 9th, 1880. TOWN TALK. Volume VI. Happy as a clam. An infant child, a few months old, of Mr. and Mrs. Sutton of Tuscarora died on Saturday and was buried last Sun day. I. Smith Boctes, formerly of the Lake View House, on Mullet Lake has leased D. Smith's hotel on Indian River, named It Indian River Hotel and has opened it ready for business. Dr. W. W. Bowes has opened his office up stairs in the building recently pur chased by him from Mr. Niepoth, and has put up a sign so plain that he that runneth may read. We nnderstand the engineers of the Jackson, Lansing and Saginaw railroad are expected here every day to locate the line of the road to Cheboygan and decide on the location of depot grounds. A large cirenlar saw of the Cheboy gan Lumber Co.'s run on one of the iron dogs Wednesday night, was injured so badly as to make it necessary to send it to the factory at Fitchburg, Mass, for repairs. . Hon. R. G. Horr is one of the first Con- Kessmen to take the stump for the esidential campaign. He addressed a rousing Republican mass meeting at Burlington, Vermont, on the evening of June 30. The piles for the bridge across Indian "river at its mouth are all capped and the timbers of the approaches all ready to be put up. The truss is framed, iron all on the ground and Mr. Bockes thinks he will have the bridge completed inside of two weeks. The Spencer House has received a new billiard table for the amusement of the guests of the house. T-iey have put up in the bar-room a handsome frame of advertising cards, in which can be foand the cards of many of the leading houses in Cheboygan. One evening, the early part of the week, some of the members of the the atrical company, aftec the performance, weve serenading the Grand Central folks, when the night watchman came up and officiously ordered a stop to the music, evidently, music has no charms for him. . A new train was placed on the L. & X. railroad, on Monday last, to known as the Petoskey express, with through sleeping car attached. It leaves Detroit at 6:40 p. m., arriving at Petoskey at 7:25 next morning: leaving Petoskey in the evening, it will arrive in Detroit at 10:40 next morning. According to the Marquette Mining Journal the Detroit, Marquette & Macki nac railroad has already sold to actual settlers about thirty thousand acres of lands in Schoolcraft and Mackinac conn ties. In addition to this thousards of acres must have been sold in Chippewa county, where many had settled upon the land and made improvement before the land was in the market. The excursion -last Monday, on the Leviathan, to Mackinac for the benefit of the Congregational Sunday school was a grand success. The attendance was large and the net receipts amounted to $69.75. Save a few who were affected by the sea that was running, all enjoyed the trip, and. the rain the night previous made the visit to the island delightful. The citizens of Tuscarora celebrated Independence day last Monday in an ap propriate manner in a grove on Burt lake, near the residence of Mr. Gates. The exercises of the day consisted of vocal music, addresses and a bountiful spread, aU of which were greatly enjoyed by the large number present. Those in charge had erected tables, seats and a speakers stand and everything passed off pieasently. The Democratic press fairly howl at having their inconsistancies, in regard to the hanging of Mrs.Surratt shown up. At the time, they openly cursed Hancock and all who had anything to . do with hanging the assassins of Lincoln, and now take the former as their standard bearer". If in 1864 Gen. Hancock was "one of Lincoln's hirelings engaged in an unholy war," what has made him a saint in the year 1880? Last week in our report of the business of this port we referred to the number of vessels calling in after cargoes of lum ber, having through clearances, which did not report and consequently there was no record of their tonnage. To show the extent such tonnage would add to the showing, we give the vessels that left with cargoes this week, which were not required to report. Schooners North Cape, Imperial, Eelderhouse and Lottie Wolf; barges O. J. Hale and Southamp ton, aggregating over 2,300 tons. The Saginaw Herald says: "The peo ple of Cheboygan are talking earnestly about securing the J., L. & S. Railroad for that place, reports being current that it is now contemplated to build it direct from Gaylord to the straits. We believe the Saginaws would bejglad to have the company run the road to Che boygan, as we have many interests in common, and would like to be united as closely as possible by rail, but we can tell the Cheboygan people from experi ence that the only way to secure a rail road is to work for it, energetically and psrsistently, and not to stop or let up until they see the engine inside the cor poration. The solid men of Manistee appreciat ing the benefit of a railroad to their town came down handsomely in the matter of donating land for the right of way, depot grounds, etc, for the new railroad. They gave liberally and whatever or wherever the railroad men wanted. This same spirit is being manifested on the part of some of our own citizens toward the Jackson Lansing & Saginaw rail road. Hon. Wm. McArthur says McArthur, Smith & Co. will give right of way and depot grounds, should the company locate on their land and that they may run uirougn rneir iana in any shape pro viding they do not take buildings or dock. Their offer for dock room is ac ceptable to the company we trust all will manifest this same liberal spirit. The Leadine Magazines for Jnlv. for sale at Fexer's News Depot. . The frame of the dwelling nart of the building for the lower range light is up ana enclosed. The new Epi6C0Dal Church will. D. V. be opened to-morrow. . Service 10 o'clock a. m. and 8 p.m. The business of shipping huckleberries has commenced and several shipments have already been made. Services at the Congregational church to-morrow morning and evening at the usual hours. All are invited. We noticed that some got so full of patriotism (?) Saturday and Monday that it was a difficult matter for them to carry the load. The census enumerator of the Fifth ward of Bay City neglected to put down his own name and those of his relatives residing in his district. The frequent showers this week has made the the atmosphere delightful and have been a regular bonanza for the con tractor for sprinkling the streets. The excursion to Mackinac and Point St. Ignace, on the Keweenaw, last Sun day for the benefit of Cheboygan Cornet band was a grand success, netting the band $100. The summer resorts of Northern Mich igan are fast fillifg up with visitors. Detroit is largely represented at Mack inac, the new steamer City of Cleveland bringing up a large number from there this week. The Evening News says" H. HJ Trow bridge would start 25 double teams for Point St. Ignace this evening, per steam er St. Paul, to work on the Marquette & Mackinac railroad, at $4 per day for team and driver. Mr. and Mrs1 Wildman have the sym pathy of the entire community in their bereavement by the loss of their infant daughter, Clara Louise. The funeral took place Sunday, Rev. W. W. Rafter conducting the services. Owing to an unusual press of job work this week we are a little later than usual in getting the Tribune out to-day. Several nights during the week the press nad been running on job work until half past ten and eleven o'clock. The M. E. state camp meeting at Bay View wiU commence the 27th of this month, and continue until Sunday, August 8th. Rev. A. J. Eldrige of the Grand Traverse district, will have charge of the social meeting this year. The Petoskey Record savs: "The mail from Little Traverse to Old Mackinac, which has heretofore been carried tri weekly, has been increased to a daily, which is much more convenient for peo ple living in the northern portion of this county. Rev. Chas. Marsh assisted by Judge Sutton, has prepared a number of small plats showing the location of the propos ed Congregational resort grounds, and is sendfng them around to prominent Congregational ministers in this and other states. The Democratic bird seems to have given up the ghost and is on his back kicking up his feet, at least that is the way he 13 presented to-day on the stream er floating from Todd's building. The Democracy will be worse upset than that streamer after the election. Last Tuesday Philip Horn, who was measuring lumber for McArthur. Smith & Co. loading the schooner North Cape, slipped and fell off one of the piles, fall ing a distance of about fourteen feet, but fortunately the fall was broke by a pile of lath, and aside from a few bruises he suffered no injury. Notwithstanding the rain of Thursday evening, the benefit tendered by some of our leading citizens to Mrs. Clara Wild- man was largely tended, our citizens braving the inclement weather to show their.'appreciation of Mrs. Wildman, both as a lady and actress. The call for a Republican county con vention to be held Friday 30th inst., to elect a delegate to the State convention and also delegates to the Senatorial and Legislative conventions, can be found elsewhere. It is to be hoped that the different towns will be fully represent ed in the convention. Wildman & Fox's New Tork Comedy company leave on the steamer Kewee naw this evening for Sault Ste. Marie, where they commence a season of come dy next Monday night. Wre cheerfully commend them to the people of the Sault, as possessing much greater talent than ordinary troupes that travel. A telegram was received at Mackinac last week announcing the serious illness of Capt. James W. Bennett, of the tug J. W. Bennett, at Alpena, from inflama- tionrof the bowels. His father and mother accompanied by Dr. Jessup, of Mackinac left on the first boat for Alpena. At last accounts he was improving with gooa prospects oi nis recovery. The sacro-patriotic service at the Con gregational church last Sunday evening was well attended. The exercises were of 'an interesting and appropriate character. Rev. Chas. Marsh, pastor. gave a brief history of the American flag and the hymns and anthems were of a character suitable to the occasion and were much enjoyed by those present. The inland steamers are bringing a considerable number of visitors to the Mullet Lake House at the head of Mullet lake, many of them coming prepared to stay sometime and enjoy the invigorating air and sport that is to be had boating and nsning. i ne indications are that a large number of visitors will recreate at this house during the heated term and we have no doubt but that as the hotel and the beauty and advantages of locality become known, it will prove one of the most popular resorts in the country. Monday afternoon while the City of New York was in at Humphrey's dock, Hayden's team was standing at the rear of the warehouse when the steamer whistled. The horses did not stand long; Mr. Hayden being in the warehouse they started off at a lively race, making about as good time as was made at the track, and taking up Main street they run until the truck collided with Mr. Rollo's buck board, badly demoralizing two of the wneeis. une or the horses fell down. thus stopping them in their mad career. Wildman & Fox's New Tork Comedy company closed their present engage ment here last evening playing the well Known ana ever popular drama, "Uncle Tom s Cabin." This company during tneir stay, iwo weess lacking one even ing, have been greeted nightly with full houses showing that our citizrns are liberal patrons of merit. The members of the company have made many friends during their stay and when they return later in the season, as they promise, they will be again greeted by apprecia tive audiences, The Chippewa County News boasts of a new office. . The building is twenty feet by thirty-five feet, two stories high. The upper story is in one room, well lighted, and is used as the printing office. The lower story is divided into two rooms, one of which is used by Editor Steere as a depository for his legal lore and to which he flees when a man ap proaches who looks like he wanted to see the editor very bad. , The other is the editorial sanctum. We are glad to note this evidence of prosperity upon the part of the News. It is a good paper and is doing a good work for Chippewa county.

The City of Cheboygan now locks through and runs down to McArthur Smith & Co. dock making direct connec tion with the Mary for Mackinac and the -Point, thus saving the transfer of passengers by carriage, as has been done heretofore. James Mills, employed at Judson D. Smith's mill, was oiling the bearings of the butting off saw, just after dinner, when the mill started up and the motion of the saw threw one of the caps of the box witn great force striking him in the stomach and knocking his breath out of him. Dr. Perrin was sent for but by the time he got up there the man had come to and was appearently all right excepting a bad bruise. It was reported that the saw cut him "wide open."

His face was like the sear and yellow leaf : in fact of such a golden hue was the man's countenance that it was evi dent he had resumed specie payment on a sold basis. It was a sad case of indo lent liver. He was advised to try Dr. White's Dandelion Alterative, and act ing upon this advice he Is now happy, the saffron hue having departed. He sleeps well, enjoys his food, and feels that he has taken a new lease on life. For sale by 0. B. WEED. 2w Unclaimed Letter List.
