SAD OCCURENcE-Two MEN Drowned.
About nine o'clock Saturday evening
last the small steamer'Stdr which, phys
between this place and Saginaw City,
while on her downward trip ran into a
canoe containing three men who were
crossing the river near the Emerson ferry
track, splitting the canoe from stem to
stern, the men being thrown out by the
conclusion, and two of them drowned
The man saved was Mr.. BARLEY, and
those drowned, two brothers by the name
of WILSON, one married and the other
single. The body of the one who twas
married was recovered on Sunday, but
the search after the other brother proved
fruitess, though the river was thorough
ly dragged all day Sunday in the yicini-
ty where the accident happened From
the statements Of Mr.. BARLEY who was
saved, it appears that at the time Of the
collision the two brothers differed in
opinion as to what was the best course
to avoid the steamer which they saw was
close upon them, and in their confusion
they padded contrary ways, rendering a
collision unavoidable. The officers Of
the Star made every effort to steer clear
Of the canoe, which they could easily have
done had It taken direction for either
shore, but before they could comprehend
the nature Of the case, it had taken a di
rcction across the course they were steer.
ing to avoid it. They stopped and re
versed the engine at the last moment
but it was too late to prevent the disas
ter.

VINO ARE INcENplArIEs I'VE notice
in the rear Of many Of the buildings Of
this city, piles Of fine dry lumber, sha,
wings, straw, litter, paper, portions of
reed mats, refuse Of oil barrels, paint
kegs, and all manner Of combustible
materials loosely put up, aud dry as finder,
while along the halls Of some of the prin-
cipal buildings, even, are piles Of waste
paper interminglod with chips, bark, and
bindings" Of various descriptions. The
only thing to be wondered at is that
during some of the hot days the outside
fire inyitors do not ignite by spontaneous
combustion. If spark from stray
steamer, pipe, cigar or a candle, takes
in ono of these inviting piles and con-
larration ensucs, who is the incendiary,
we ask, the one who makes ready for the
fire, and extends the invitation, the
stray sparks, or the Fire Warden, who
having authority to prevent it, allows
such state Of things to exist ? Let it
he borne in mind that an "ounce Of pre-
yention is better than a pound Of care,
and where proper prccaution is taken ia
prevent, fires seldom occur. We arc
aware that there is one incendiary about
His footprints are in nearly every back
yard, ash box, hall and out-of-the-way
place in the city. His name is CARE

Of the people Of Michigan, Only on the
ground of grossest ignorance or total po-
litical as well as moral depravity can they
hope to excuse themselves to their con-
stitucnts. With the full and authentic
accounts Of the tyranuous oppression,
the evil and ouIy evil effects Of tic law
OF '9S before them in history, the mere
nam Of which is a reproach upon the ma
ton. IL is but fair to conclude that they
through ignorance either greatly mis-
took the spirit Of the people Of Michigan
and their own duties, or that they arc
50 bound mp in bigotry and intolerance
that they fail to appreciate in the slight
