8 THE NORTHERN TRIBUNE AUGUST 27, 1881. Noetheen Tribune. SATURDAY, AUGUST tl, 1881. The Superior was among the first boats to pass through the Sault canal and locks. E. Nelson Is building a brick barn, 20 by 40 feet on the corner of Nelson and Huron streets. The dredge has been busy all week on the booming ground of the Cheboygan lumber company. ' The Champlain landed a lot of mag nificent peaches for II. J. A. Todd. They were raised at Glen. Haven. We understand parties from the south ern part of the state are in the village looking arpund for a site to erect a hotel. Remember the lecture at the Town Hall next Menday eyening and enjoy an intellectual feast, and at the same time contribute to a worthy cause. The lecture is for the benefit of the Episco pal society. Tuesday n Ight a sailor off of the schoon er Cleveland fell into the new lock at the Sault, and was drowned. It is supposed the fall of about 45 feet stunned him so that he was unable to make an effort to pave himself. The body was recovered. The Otsego County Herald of last week Friday, says the railroad track north of Gaylord is now laid about twelve miles four miles nortli of Vanderbilt. At that point the grade is not yet completed, and will require about one month's time to put it in condition for the rail. A leading witness In the Sherburne Kitchen sherff case of l'resque Isle couuty which is being tried in the Cheboygan circuit, sent up ap proxy from Rogers City to do his swearing and give his testi mony in the case. It would not work and a subpoena has been issued for said witness for contempt of court. Tho schooner C. Hart left Thursday for the Schneaux to pick up a cargo of large stone for the pier at the entrance to the harbor. They are to weigh a 1000 pounds or over each. It will be qnite a job to gather tltem up. Capt. Hart had a pair of large tongs made expressly for picking them up out of the water. The large shaft on Donnelly's dock is out of the side wheel steamer Superior, sunk near Pictured rocks Lake Superior in 1835. Capt Snow, of the tug G W Wood, says it was first used in the steamer Commonore Perry, built in 1835, at which tiuie there were only two or three forges in the United States that could forgo a wrought iron shaft, and nearly all west ern steamers used cast iron shafts like this. Little Round island is visited daily by a large drove of cows. They evidently take refuge there during the neat of the nay to enjoy the cool breezes off of the straits and avoid the flies, as there is not enough of vegetation on the island to attract them. In order to get there they are compelled to swim some distance. Regularly every forenoon they can be seen making their way to this their sum mer resort. We understand that Chas. R. and Wm. S. Smith are thinking of fitting out the Mary with the necessary accommodations and with their families, taking a trip south and spending tho coming winter. If they should do so they will go to Chi cago by lake, through the Illinois canal to the Mississippi river, and then down that river to New Orleans taking in the several places of interest along the route. The trip would certainly be an enjoyable one, Several newspaper magnates passed through the village last Sunday, coming down on the inland boat and taking the Mary for Mackinac. Anions: them were Dr. 0. W. Nixon, Chicago Inter-Ocean; Jti rd smith, toe good deacon, Cincinnati Gazette, and lady; W. D. Blckham, Day ton (0.) Journal, A. W.Francisco, Colum bus 0. State Journal, and lady: W. N. Haldeman, Louisville Courier Journal; M. Halstead, Jr., Cincinnati Commercial, and two sisters. They were members of Western Press association which met at Grand Rapids last week. The Tribune acknowledges the receipt of a press ticket to the great Chicago stocK tair, to oe Held Sept. 12-17. It is designed by the managers to make this the live stock exhibition of tho United States. In addition to the exhibition of live stock there will be other attractive features of amusement such as trottine and running races, steeple chases and a twenty mile equestrienne race between nesota, and Williams of London. Ene land. It is also expected that Maud S. or St. Julien will be present and give an exnioii or speed, ine premiums aggre gate $50,000. The new planing mill has been kept mizzing the most or the week, the sur facing machine and matcher turning out considerable work. They have been busy turning pulleys for the shaft In the sscoiid story and probably next week will have all In operation. The building is enclosed and roof on. Ihe ilowinzwell. it was found did not afford sufficient water to supply the boiler to keep run ning steadily and an additional well was sunk this week. For new machinery, everything is working nicely and doing good worK. The ladies of the Catholic church an nounce a supper at tho Town Hall next Thursday evening for the benefit of tho church and tho parochial school under its charge. It has been a number of years since tho ladies of this church havo appealed to the public for aid and we feel that our citizens, who are noted for their liberal responses to calls of this character, will, on this occasion. provo their appreciation of the efforts of the ladles of this church by turning out and patronizing this supper. Those who have attended former entertain ments by the ladies of this church know that a bountiful supper will be spread and thoso who attend may bo sure of getting their satisfaction of good things. Remember the evening and give them a The rain yesterday was a most wel-1 come visitor, the streets had become very dusty and a shower was badly needed. Last Saturday the Jackson Lansing & Saginaw department sold 3,208 acres of pine land located in Ogemaw county for $81,600 to Mosher & Fisher of West Bay City. A nartv from Cheboygan are talking of taking a cruise on the yacht Peachie, next week over in Georgian bay taking guns and fishing tackle along for hunt ing and fishing. v The Detroit and Chicago base ball clubs played a close game in the latter latter city Inst Tuesday. It took twelve innings to decide the game, the Chicago club winning by a score of 8 to 6. Owners of domestic animals will be interested in the fact that the new law prohibiting horses, cattle, sheep and nocrs from running at large in the state of Michigan will take effect Sept. 8. The so-called "iron-clad" whisky law also takes effect In September. Excavating for laying the mains of the waterworks will be commenced next Monday. Mr. Hess who is to have charge of the work, Informs us that ho expects to commence at Upper Black river road and lay them down Main street first. Another cargo of pipe is expected next week. There being no train up Sunday nights on the G. R. & I. railroad, the mail car rier is not compelled to wait Monday mornings at Petoskey as lato as other days In the week, and consequently the mall gets in much earlier every Monday evening than during the rest of the week. It was the tug Martel that rescued the fishing party at the Schneaux Friday of last week, and the tug taKing mat pas sage seems to have been purely Provi dential, as Capt. Coates says it was the first time he had been through it in lour years, and before entering, it was dis cussed some time before they decided on going by that way. Mrs. Skinner who has been visiting her nareuts at the M. E. Parsonage for some time left for her homo near Kala mazoo, last Tuesday morning. Her father, Rev. w. M. uampoen, accompan ied her as far as Petoskey, he reports tho hotels at Petoskey aud Bay View campgrounds full of pleasure and health seekers, and most of the cottages at the latter place still occupied. At the annual meeting, Wednesday, of last week in Grand Rapids, of the Asso ciated Press, plans were discussed for further improvement of facilities for gathering news and for its supply, both to morning and evening papers, at earlier hours. The following oilicers were elect ed: M. Halstead, Cincinnati, President; Joseph Pulitzer, St. Louis, Vice-President; II. E. Baker, Detroit, Secretary; William Henry smith, Chicago, uenerai Agent. The business committee of the state agricultural society is vigorously push ing preparations tor the annual state fair next month. We regret that the indications are that Cheboygan county will take no part in the exhibit. Had the matter been worked up, there is no reason why our county should not have made a creditable display in the way of grain, and it is to be hoped that something may yet be done to secure some specimens from different sections or ine county and have them taken d own for exhibition. We understand that Charles Hentschell sold his brewery last Wednesday to a couple of gentlemen from Detroit, one one of whom was formely foreman for P. Kling & Co. of Detroit, one of the most extensive brewing firms of that city The consideration received, we are in formed, was $o,400. The new firm we understand will make important 1m provements, and with the completion of the railroads will have a large territory to work up a busiuess in. and we see no reason why they should not build up a good trade. The Chippewa County News gives an account of a very distressing accident that occurred a short time since, being the sad drownfng of four children of Capt. Trinchette, of the tug Antelope. The captain's family lives on the bank of a creek which empties into Hay lake, and it anoears that the other dav. while the mother and oldest son were absent from home, the four younger children, the oldest of whom was eleven years and the youngest three, harnessed up a dog and hitched him to a little boat in the creek. By some means the boat was up set and the children drowned. The dog made his way ashore and attracted the attention of neighbors by loud howling, but too late to resuscitate the little victims. Doing to Itesign. For somo days it has been known that Rev. Charles A. Marsh was going to re sign the pastorate of the Congregational church, aad that at the morning service to-morrow hU resignation would be pre sented. Among the reasons assigned by Mr. Marsh for deciding upon this course are. first, a lack or hearty co-operation and support on the part of the members of the church and society; second, a de sire to pursue theological studies in an advanced course at Andover, Mass., theo logical seminary.! Mr. Marsh entered upon the pastorato of the church when everthing wasj.it its lowest ebb, and found much to discour ago him, but he took hold heartily, and no one will question that ho has labored faithfully and earnestly. His labors has not been confined to tho church services alsne but ho has been a been a faithful visitor among the members of the church and society laxing his time to a degree that few are aware of, and he has always taken an activo part In anything that tended to improve the church. It was largely to his efforts in behalf of tho ladies that the church has been so hand somely adorned. In his efforts ho has been ably seconded by his most estimable wife. They both have many warm friends in the village who will regret that Mr. Marsh has thought It necessary to sever his relations with the church and whose best wishes will accompany Weather Iteport for tUe Week ending Tbunday Evening Aug, 25 1881.
