We regret to be compelled to announce that
President Grant will not be present at the
State Fair. in this city, next week. A
dispatch received by Senator Edmunds from
him on Saturday last, stated that owing to the
pressing nature Of his official business at Wash
ington, it would be impossible for him to attend.
His duties are doubtless enhanced by the death
Of Gen. John \. Rawlins, Secretary Of War.
The following letter, confirming the above, was
last evening received by Senator Eimunds from
Gen. Horace Porter, the Presidents private
Secretary. The letter was evidently written
before the President hal learned of the danger
Gus illness Of Secretary T;awins, upon learning
which he left Immediately for Washington.

LITTER FROM TWEEZERS.

| Ed. TRIBUNE.-Three or four DAYS be.
fore the recent election the clerk of Ger.
tain school district in a certain town OF
this county was approached by raw,
apish, overgrown urchin who wished to
teach the common school of said district.
The fellows uncouth appearance and
idiotica expression denoted him fool Of
the highest order yet, as he classed him
self in the list of Teachers the clerk
showed him some respect, and although
he did not wish to engage his services,
yet out of sheer curiosity and the mere
fun of the thing" requested the liberty
of examining his certificate. s.,-
aOh, sir, replies the simple youth,
Il haven't it yet Ny mother is gone to
town to-day with big load of geese, and
she'll bring it home to me tonight -
Now, Mr. Editor tbs a fixed fact that
the old lady went to town with large
load Of poultry; that the boy procured
his certificate soon after her return, and
that he is now teaching school in a
neighboring district to the one in which
he made this expression. A kind and
obliging district pays this idotic ass our
$40. 90 per month for his services, and
though he can repeat the multiplication
table or read Sanders Primer correctly,
still he is Professor" of Mathematics
and Elocution to scores of others who are
''practicing their professions in this
-forsaken county.
In my recent structures upon our school
government did not charge Mr.. Sibree
with betraying his trust. Far be it from
me to cast one blot upon the bright re-
cord which Mr.. Crowley SO generously
portrays for that eminent and humane
individual. But what we charged then
we charge now. Among other things
that certificates to teach have been
given to scores of persons who are un-
qualified in every sense of the word to
hold them and if you, Mr.. Crowley,
were the cause, as you seem to imply, Of
this wholesale and Legitimate creation of
teachers" then it was the most shame
full act of your long useless career as
County Superintendent.
l am toc well bred to stoop so low as to
handy filthy, black guard phrases with our
School Superintendent, in which debas
ing and humiliating occupation everyone
knows him to excel; but if he will meet
the issue fairly and squarely, and deny,
or attempt to deny any one of my. charg-
es against the 'Superintendent's Bur-
eau I will boldly stand to the truth of
my assertions and eight it out on that
line if it takes all summer"

MARIHE.--The following In regard to
the barge David Smoke, we copy from
the Sentinel of last Saturday:
The barge Davsd Smoke, which broke
adrift from the propeller Pittsburgh and
was beached at Long Point, is total
loss. The tug Bryant has returned to
Buffalo from visit to the wreck. She
reports that the decks of the barge have
been washed off, and it is thought that
the hull has broken in two. The sails
and rigging were removed and brought
to Buffalo. The Smoke was built at
Manitowoc several years ago by Capt. S.
". Morgan and j. A. Kahler. Her
measurement was about 500 tons. She
belonged to Morgan & Co.'S barge line.
The schooner S. A. Wood jettisoned
thirty tons Of iron-ore during the recent
heavy weather on Lake Erie.
The schooner Union, which went
ashore at ! mile pier, south of here. came
into the harbor on Sunday last minus all
her head gear-her jib- boom having
been carried away entirely. She has now
laid up.
The steamer Comet is fast being
taken apart, and her boilers and machin-
cry will be transferred to the Corona
soon.
The barque Alice Richards, of Mani
towoc, loaded with coal for Chicago, ran
ashore FIVE miles west of Hammond s
Bay on the 10Th. When last heard from
she was not leaking, and it was thought
would be got off without difficulty.
The following vessels have laid up here
for the winter: Schooners G. L. John
ston; Sea Gem; Pilot; Anme Woriiae !.
Franklin and Lama. The propeller Ben
ton has also gone into winter quarters
here
Nor So.-The Prope Her Colonist, which
sought refuge in our harbor during the
recent storm, and on which Mr.. McCue
was scalded SO severely that he after
wards died, was sunk on Lake Huron
lately. The Sentinel says the injuries
she sustained while pounding in our har-
Dor caused her to sink Now we make
fiat denial to that. The Colonist came
into the harbor and ran up to the foot of
Eighth street without once touching bot
tom, and where she could have pound
ed is mystery to US. She also laid here
three days without leaking unusually.
We have got the best harbor on the Lake,
and there is no truth in the statement
that she received injuries here, for there
is water enough to float the largest propel-
Ter on the Lakes, and surely the Colonist
was not one of them.

STRAY LAws,-Lastweek we published
the law relating to the taking up of stray
animals, and hope our farmers will take
due notice of and keep it for reference.
1t is the duty of person taking up a
stray to advertise it within ten days, and
aneglect of this provision subjects the per-
son SO failing to severe penalties ;Ibesides, it
is no more than just to so advertise the
stray, especially as all advertising charg-
es must be paid by the owner of the ami
NAL.

ImpoRTANr TO County NEWSPAPERS.

The United States Mail, for October,
replies as follows to one who asks its ad-
vice and opinion on the subject: ''Coun-
ty papers must oe printed and published in
the county to permit them to pass free
through the mails under Section 251,
laws of 1866. A paper one half of which
is printed in another county does not
come under the meaning Of the sect ion. p"
This decision will compel postmasters to
collect postage on a large number of week
ly papers in this State, whose insides,
and sometimes outsides, are printed in
Milwaukee or Chicago.
