the most grateful consideration, and
in this line trade has sprung up the
magnitude Of which is as marvellous
as its results are generally beneficial.

extent with the general demand =
The extent of their trade of course
gives them facilities for making and
giving advantageous bargains not
shared by many in this particular
line, and We are assured that in this
as in the other branches Of their ex-
tensive trade, they arc enabled to
compete successfully with any and
every wholesale establishment in the

: ANOTHER MURDER.

Last Saturday night at about eleven
o'clock murder was committed--the
second within the space of few
weeks--in the Saloon of John N.
Schmidt Gehesec Street in this city,
under circumstances as near as we
have been able to ascertain substan-
italy as follows:
John Mcmillan part owner and late
Captain of the tug Fanny W1its, q
man about thirty-five years old, who
has wife and six children residing in
Port Huron, having been drinking
freely during the afternoon elsewhere,
brought up at Schmit's Saloon in the
evening in company with several COM
panions, ordered refreshments which
were eaten, got into an alteration
with Schmit about the bill, blows
followed and he was put out doors, he
returned once or twice, when George
Frey, a cabinet maker in Henry
Schwartz employ, lately from syria,
cuse n. Y, where no leaves q wife
and six children; interfsred apparent
ly with tho intent of frightening Nc
MILAN into more quiet mood. He
had desisted from the attempt how
ever, and was standing against the
pigeon hole table in the corner when
Mcmillan who was in the doorway,
drew q Colts revolver and shot him,
the ball passing through portion Of
the flesh on the under side of the left
arm about midway between the arm
pit and elbow, entering the body and
passing entirely through the lower
portion Of the left lung, from the eff
fects of which he died on Tuesday fol-
lowing.
The murderer Immediately fled, but
officers were put on his track in all
directions and he was taken the after
noon following, between Mt Morris
and Flint, and Immediately returned
to this county and lodged in Jail at
Saginaw City.
An inquest was held on the body of
Frey on Tuesday by coroner j. B.
White, the result Of which was a
verdict substantially as follows:
"That George Frey now lying dead,
Z" died at East Saginaw Mich. on the
"night of the 24th of October A. d.
1864, of Hemorrhage of the Lungs
sand nervous excitement, resulting
from a gun-shot wound, which
wound was received 10y him on the
"night of October 22d, A. d. 1864,
"between the hours of 10 and IL, by
"by a shot from a weapon in the
"hands of, and fired by one John Nc
/" MILAN"

AT an adjourned meeting orthe sub

the committee to obtain such subscrip-
tons reported one hundred and forty

KEROSENE.

In view Of the war pressure which
has forced the price Of oils and arti-
cles formerly used most extensively
for illuminating purposes, the discov-
cry Of Kerosene may be regarded as
peculiarly providential, one of the
most indispensable necessities Of life,
thus being reduced to figure which
bears no correspondence with the in
ordinate advance in the price of other
requisites for comfort or luxury. The
various medical, chemical and me-
ohanical uses to which this article in
it's divers forms is put supplying the

THEATRE.

J. w. Lanergan's Dramatic Troupe
opened to a crowded house at Irving
Hall, on Monday Evening last,
with the play Of LADY Of Lyons"
followed by "Ingomar" on Tuesday,
and "Don Cezar De Bazan" on
Wednesday evenings. This is the
first introduction Of the legitimate
drama in Saginaw Valley with profess
sional actors enough to do the bust
ness, and it is certainly most credita-
bly, done by Mr.. L. and his talented
company. The scenery and stage ap-
pointments are tasteful appropriat and
elegant, the Hall most perfect sue
cess in point of construction, arrange
ment, lighting apparatus, ornaments
ton, and the facilities it affords for
comfortably hearing and seeing or
being heard and seen, save, in this lat
ter partcular,thc stage, q model in all
other respects, lacks depth for judi
cious effect in some acts.
Lanergan will remain with his COM
pany during the balance of this and
the next week, and we advise oil
who have a taste for plays rendered
with the finest conception Of charac-
ter, with complete elegance and APP
propriateness of costume, wherein the
most fastidious sense of proprioty can
not be offended, to patronize this
sensible and legitimate entertainment.
