Mr. TTCoMBs CoNcERT.--We would call the
attention of the public to Mr.. Ticomb's advertise
ment in another portion of our paper, for concert
of vocal and instrum entail music. The concert gi-
by Mr. Titcomb on Thursday evening last wa.
but thny atten ded owing to the inclemency of the
weather. 1t is hoped that the concert he proposes
to give on Thursday evening the 1st day of Dec.
will be attended by full house. individuals have
taken much pains and spent much time to impr owe
the musical taste and talent of our village both vo-
cal and instrumental, these efforts should be en-
couraged by every friend of improvement and the
general interests of the place The citizens OF this
place must be that good choir of singers,
and good band of instrumental music, add much
to the reputation of village, being always regar-
ded mark of refinement of it's citizens. Those
who would be gratifed to see the several churches
in this village, each supplied with respectable
choir of singers, should not ia il to lend their infu-
ence to musical exhibitions of the character which
Mr.: Tltco me proposes to give, they intend to give
increased interest, and hi CHER estimate of this
important science.
Mr.. Edwards and his sons, who have acquired
much celebrity as instrumental performers, having
been engaged the last two on the Great
Western, have volunteered thoir services to assist
in the exercises of the evening.

SOUTHPORT, w. 7. Nov. 8, 1912.


Our season of navigation is pretty much
closed-one or two boats may touch here
vet, but it is doubtful, the weather about
these times being very uncertain. The
Chesapeake, it is thought will be along be-
tween the 18th and goth for Chicago, were
she intends to winter.
Now that the books are about being clo-
sei for the year, it may be we'll 10 refros-
pect a little; and in :" casting up" we shall
doubtless find an increase of population and
business since the commencement OF the
season, in our Territory generally, tar
greater than the most sanguine anticipated.
To the lake counties, particularly, the i'm
migration has been beyond precedent, great
and could the enumeration OF inhabitants
now be taken, it would be found that the
increase since June last east Of the Rock
River and at some points west had been at
least 30 or 40 per cent.
Southport now numbers a population OF
probably eleven hundred-the number Of
her stores, some of them as heavy estab-
lishmcnts are to be found in the Territory,
between twenty and thirty and all apparent
ly engaged in q profitable business. Some
of our merchants are now making advances
on lead, and arrangements, | learn, will
soon be made by one or two enterprising
firms, by which this important trade, to
great extent, will be diverted in this direc-
ton. Southport is the nearest point upon
the Lake, to the mineral region; and as the
roads leading to it from the west are gener-
ally good there can be no reason, IT our
business men make rs liberal advances, why
we should not have greater proportion of
the lead trade than our neighbour, Miwau-
kee. Fifty or sixty tons have arrived here
within the past two or three weeks, a libe-
raj advance upon which was made by
Hutchinson, Wheeler s. Petcrs'-and
from the spirit in which this enterprising
firm have engaged in the business, and their
undoubted ability to prosecute ii extensively
and successfully, the most favorable results
upon the general business interests Of this
place, are confide emily anticipated. Enter
prize, even with but little capital, has ena
bled our town TO keep pace with. and even
outstrip some of its more favored neighbors;
but now having capital to back up our en-
terprize, the future progress Of our place
will be much more rapid than heretofore.

Newly oRK.-We expected to have been
able to give the returns from New Y ork in
our paper this week, but owing to the almost
entire failure of our Eastern papers during
the past week, we have no definite returns
from that state. We have, however, an
abundance of numerous and vague reports,
all of which agree that the state has gone
democratic by large vote. One of our
exchanges which processes to have returns
from New York, says that the Wings ad

on to speak OF the two great political par

party. Ii any man can attach any mean

slders the prospects OF success Of the Clay
party as hopeless. In the next place he
goes on endeavoring 10 show that the pros
Pect Of the Democratic party is still more
hopeless, and concludes with the following
words:
"While such is the condition of the two
great leading parties, the one surprised at

cloudlng its hitherto unrivaled prospects;

Tyler by it, and that he designed to sup

SELF-DEyoTIoN IN HUMBLE LIFE.-In9
Boston Post commends the following to the
attention of its readers as one of the noblest
instances Of her oism on record. 1t IS Ia
ken from late English Journal:
GA few weeks ago two miners, Verran
and Roberts, were at work in South Cara
don new shaft (Which is intended to be sunk
perpendicularly through granite country
to intersect the lode at the depth of lao ia
thoms.) The present depth is about 10 ia
thoms, and they had prepared a hole for
blasting. the fuse inserted, tampted up and
all ready for firing On these occasions
the men are drawn up by windlass, and
as they are only three in a corps, there is
only one man at the brace, and he can
only draw up one man at time; conse-
ouently, after the whole is ready one man
is drawn up and the kibble lowered ready
to receive the last man, who has to put
fire to the fuse, and then both men at the
windlass draw him up with the utmost speed,
in order that all may get out OF the way
when the explosion takes place, which IS
sometimes so violent that large stones are
| thrown up at the top, carrying with them
part of the roller and windlass to q consid-
cradle hight. 1t unfortunately happened that
as the safety fuse with which the hole was
| charged was longer than was necessary,
they inconsderately took sharp stone to
cut piece Of it off, and ignition immedia-
tely commenced. They both flew to the kib-
bic and cried out to the man at the brace to
wind up" but alas! after trying with all
his might, he could not start them. AT this
awful moment (when the furious Kissing
of the fues assured them that their destruc-
| ton was within a half a minutes march of
them Verran sprung out of the kibble, ex-
claiming TO his comrade, Robert, Go on,
bl other, shall be in heaven in minuteH
consequently Roberts was drawn up, and
Verran threw himself down, and placed
his poor devoted head under a piece of
| plank in one corner Of the shaft, awaiting
the moment when he should be blown to
atoms. Just as Roberts got to the brace,
and was looking down with trembling APP
prehension on the fate of poor Nerran, the
whole went off with tremendous .eXplo-
sion anda small stone struck Roberts severe
| ly on the forehead as he was looking down
the shaft. To the inexpressible surprise
and Joy of the men at the brace, they heard
Verran cry out, Don't be afraid, | am
not hurt,!" Roberts Immediately dcscen-
ded, and found that the great burden of the
! blast was throw n in every part Of the shaft
except the corner where poor Nerran was
coiled up. This extraordinary circum-
stance has produced a considerable sensa-
ton throughout the district. Not only do
they view the escape as miraculous in
terpostion Of Divine Providence, but the
conduct OF Verran as noble instance of
what real Christian Will do in a moment
OF extremity"
