An automatic fountain in the store of Dr, Gerow lias attracted a great deal of attention during the week, on account of itsjtpparent . violation of hydrostatic axT iom that a stream cannot rise higher than its source. This seeins to he an ex ception, for the water certainly rises about ten inches above the water level, and with iio apparent power outside of itself. The fountain consists of two glass bulbs, each of a capacity of about a quart, connected by metal collars hav ing a very similar appearance to an hour glass. The bulbs archung in a frame, the lower portion of which constitutes its support. The upper part of the frame consists of two metal pipes, extending upward Irom the horizontal liar to which the bulbs are attached, meeting and forming an arch on top; upon which rests a glass basin, which hold3 the over flow from the fountain ; the bottom of which is penetrated by a metal tube con nected with the metal pipe below; a small orilicc connects it with the other pipe, which carries ofl' the water when it shall have risen to a certain height in the basin. One of these bulbs is filled with water, and the operation of keeping the fountain running is the pam-3 as the hour glass as fast as the water is dis charged from he upper bulb, they are reversed. ': The paradoxical feature of the contrivance is, that the water, instead ol passing down into the lower bulb, passes through the horizontal tube between the two bulbs, and, ascending ' one of the pipes to the little tube in the basin, shoots up a beautiful jet several inches high. We can give no explantion of this singu lar phenomenon. Nor can any one who has seen it, tThe parties of whom Dr. Gerow r purchased it gave none It is a beautiful little affair, and something for study. Tlic Four til at ITXackiiiaiv. f-The citizens ot Alackiuawhav;o taken the matter of celebr iting the Fourth in hand, and are pushing it very energet ically. Committees have been appointed and all the preliminary arrangements are being made. "The Board of Supervisors have appropriated $200 towards defraying the expenses, and it is probable that the village will follow the example. The celebration will be held near the olti British landing. Rev. Mr. Stonix has, been appointed historian. TUcoratQr ha3 not 'ct been selected. A cordial in vitation is extended to the. citizens of Cheboygan to be present and enjoj'- the festiviticsrof thjelay.: It is likely that an excursion will-be 'arranged 'so that all will have an; opportunity to go at a rea sonable rate. Should the Leviathan be at leisure it is probable that Capt. Kirt- land can be induced to run over. If so, it will be a fine chance for all to go and enjoy themselves for a few hours on the Island. For ITIicuigan Visitors at. the Ccntcn- " - - nial. ; Richmond & Backus, of Detroit, have completed a very costly and elegant Cen tennial register, which is to be kept at me jsiicnigan Duuumg uuring tnc re mainder of the exposition. The book is very large, and has a capacity of holding 12,000 names, being bound with the finest of Russia leather, and 'manufacture d of the best quality of ledger paper. The ruling is of many different colors and is very artistically . arranged. Oii the out side cover is a very, handsome shield, up on which the state seal is impressed. A large amount of time was given to tl finishing of the register. The book has been sent to Secretary Noble, and a stand i ng invitation is issued ito all citizens oi Michigan who visit theexposition to reg ister their names therein. Completed.' Messrs. Williams & Co. completed on Saturday last, their work on their dredg- ng contract here, the appropriation hav ing been worked out. Both of their dredges are now lying idle, but they nave ptucr worKt which they , will soon goat-'-It is iikely that the tug and one dredge, will go to Tort Huron. The slowness with which the River and Har bor appropriation bill is going; through Congress, leaves us very little hope that much more work will be done here this season. f There is no immediate prospect of the bill passing, and then it wilL have to be advertised. We think it not at all probable that the contracts will not bolet so that the" work can be ;com menced before the first of September That will not leave very much good working weather this year, i . : ' ; : .

' " " : ..";. ,MichIgran,lndiansi ; ' I Mr. Seeley, of Massachusetts, has intro duced a bill in the House for the transfer to the states ol Michigan, New York and North Carolina, the care and custody of the Indians and their lands, now found within those states. - It authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to negotiate with the governors of these states, and witli tne Indian-, tribes occtipjring reser vations within said states, for a trausfcr to these states respectively, of the special guardianship now exercised by the United States over these Indians and their lands ; and provides that whenever it shall ap pear that cither ot these states will ac cept the care and custody of the Indians and their lands within its borders, and that the Indians assent to the same, then the special guardianship now exercised by the United States over them shall cease ; and the annual interest upon all stocks and v bonds now held in trust for such Indian by the. United States shall be paid to such officer of the said state as may be authorized to receive the same. Thisis all proper enough, no doubt, so far as our Michigan Indians are concern ed, provided any guardianship is needed. It is our understanding, however, that most of the Indians in this state have re ceived their, lands in severalty, and are citizens. This may not be the case with the Chippewas'1. of Lake Superior, but it is of those of the lower peninsula. In fact wtc cannot see the particular necessi ty of an Indian aent at all. Should a supervision be needed by the Chippewas, they Vonl J be looked after by the agent who looks after the wants of the Wiscon sin Chippewas. Certainly the Indians of the lower peninsula do not require the services of an arent. .- More Ocean Trips, .

Tuesday night there was a special meet ing of the village council to take into consideration the necessity of immediate ly constructing a lockup for the conven ience and necessities of the village. The absolute necessity of this was immediate, from the fact that the sheriff refused to allow the marshal the use of the jail, Widrig & Buckley submitted to the coun cil a plan, and an . estimate of the cost of a building suitable for this purpose, which was accepted by the board, and Messrs! Ktzar and Stevenson appointed a committee to superintend the construc tion. The plan is intended to be a part of one which includes an engine house and council chamber. The lockup is to be 20 x 22 feet and will contain three cells. It is to be constructed of two inch plank laid in courses alternate ways with the grain of the wood, and firmly spiked to gether. The walls will be a foot thick. This will preclude all possibility of bor ing or cutting out. The building is to have a stone foundation, which is already under way. The building is to be com pleted within ten days after the founda tion walls arc up. . The Theater.

They have giv en a superior, class of plays, which have been appreciated by the people. ..We re gret to state that on one or two evenings Mr. Campbell was compelled to reprove some parties in the - audience for being noisy. Since then, however, there has been no complaint. The support of the company is stronger than on its last ap pearance here. . . Gone to Detroit.

In accordance with a call published in the Free Tress, a few of our citizens met at Dr. Tcrrin's store last night to ste if 'arrangements could riot be .'per fected whereby the Fourth of July could not be properly celebrated here. The at tendance was small,' but those present seemed really in earnest about the mat ter, and it is probable that some arrange ments will be made! Without. any de finite programme being fixed upon, the meeting adjourned until Monday even ing, at the same plaee,when it is hoped there will be a larger number present. Certainly we should not let this Centen nial Fourth pass by without any celebra tion at all. A programme could be ar ranged whereby the President's and Gov ernor's recommendation could be ob served, and the history of this county go into the records, as will almost every other county in the state. Other inte resting features could be added, and a good time arranged for, it the matter is only energetically taken in hand. Let the meeting Monday night be largely at tended. . . Accidents. Lost Saturday morning a young man named Julius LeltennTtn, met wire a very serious ai:d painful accident, 'while engaged upon a scow near the water .mill. The scow was being hauled up to the bank near the mill for a lo.id of slabs, and the young man in attempting to get from the scow to the shore, got between a pile ami the scow. The force of the moving scow crushed his leg very badly, cutting a gash in" the back vt his leg, eighteen or twenty inches long. 1 Dr. Perrin was called, and rendered the sur gical assistance lu cessary, and the young man is now doing as well as could be ex pected. '' - A man engaged in unloading the coal from lhe Mary E. Perew. on Tuesday, was thrown from the vessel to the dock, and from the doclcinto the water. He was lished out, and it was found that he had sullered a dislocation of the shoulder. It was put to its place by Dr. Terrin. Circuit Court. The court closed the June term yester day, having disposed ol all the business coming before it, except those cases car ried over. Ti e j ury cases were finished Wednesday, and the jury discharged. The balance of the time was spent in hearing arguments, disposing of motions and in trying . cases which came before Court. For the length of the term, con siderable business has been transacted.
