just as the Galena was about lcav-

trip, Tuesday evening, a young man
named Smith, who had partaken free
ly of cucumber, created some dis
turbance on the boat, and the Captain
politely set him ashore, which raised
Smiths anger to such pitch that he
abused everybody, used very indecent
language, and threatened to fgth.-
Had he been small man with one

been five or six officers to pitch on and
convey him to the lookup.

THE FOURTH.

The Fourth opened here rather
lively, on the evening of the Sd, with
a dance in Beebe's Hall, several fights
in the street, the dispensing of "slip-
perry slick" black eyes, etc. A very
heavy rain fell during the night, and
continued till about 7 o'clock in the
morning, when Old Sol shone down
upon us in ali its glory.
The Stars and Stripes foated to the
breeze from every vessel in the harbor
and from many places Of business, and
the city presented very find appear
ance. The streets were thronged and
many seemed in good spirits, and gave
a hearty welcome to that eventful day,
peace and harmony reigning through
out the entire city.
About II o'clock the members of
the Fire Company assembled at the
Engine House, dressed in their new
uniforms. Soon after the roll was
called, and thereupon they, preceded
by the Alpena Cornet Band, marched
up Chisholm street, and halted oppo.
site the residence of the Mayor. The
Engine and Hose Cart, gaily decorat-
ed with flags and flowers, were drawn
up near the spot where the Fire Com
pany stood. Hon. S. L. Carpenter
Mayor, now came forward and, in the
name of the citizens of Alpena, turned
over the Engine to the Company, ac-
companying the act with few brief,
but appropriate remarks, which were
well received The Fire Company
then marched through the principal
streets, headed by the Band, and pre-
sented very fine appearance as was
very generally remarked.
The propeller Galena made two OK
cursion trips, giving all those who de-
sired favorable opportunity to see
the upper part of Lake Huron. The
Cornet Band furnished the best of
music for the excursionists, and every
thing passed off very pleasantly.

while doc" Kelly, the Prize Candy
man, was selling his packages on the
corner of Second and Water streets,
two boys got into trouble. High
words ensued, and some sparring and
hair pulling was done, when one get

him over in the saw dust. He was
soon on his feet again, however, and
all was quiet once more.

ENLARGED.-The Pontiac Bill Post
T, of last week, comes to us enlarged
to an eight column paper, and greatly
improved in Typographical appearance
The Bill Poster was started in Janu-
airy, 1868, by w. p. Nisbett, as a
monthly, and was about one-fourth the
size of the ARGUS. Since its first APP
pearance it has been enlarged several
times, and in July, 1869, became a
weekly, then being published by Ms
bett & Wall. 1t has fought hard for
the right, and condemned the wrong
ever since its existence, and is now one
of the best independent sheets pub
lished in Michigan.

FIRE.

Last Saturday forenoon our citizens
were again called upon to turn out and
do their utmost to save property from
that king of terrors-Fire. The
slabs drawn from Lockwood's mill onto
grounds near the line between the
First and Second Wards, had been
fired, and the wind raising, spread the
flames toward the river, placing many
dwellings and business houses in
that vicinity in eminent danger. The
fire engine was soon on the spot and
at work, and although is was necessary
to force the water through over eight
hundred feet of hose, and throw the
stream directly against the wind, the
progress of the flames was soon
checked, and the Fire Company re-
turned to the engine house about noon,
the fremen being greatly fatigued.
The steamer had been in the house
but a short time when a second alarm
was given, and the Firemen again
rushed forward. The wind had blown
the fire to the First Ward, and the
sawdust being plentiful, the flames
were making great Roadway. But for
the timely arrival of the engine many
of the residents would have been home
less. At one time it was thought i'm
POSSIBLE to save the house of Mrs.
Nicholson from the raging flames
but after three hours hard work it was
considered safe enough to leave, and
throw the water in another quarter,
and thus stop the flames from spred-
ing further.
About FIVE o'clock the Company re-
turned to the engine house, having
checked the spreading fire, which
was now under perfect submission.
The Firemen worked well, and were
perfectly willing to retire from the
scene.

The following we clip from the De-
troit Free Press:
"MoRE OF TuEM.-The prize pack
age swindlers, so numerous here two
weeks ago, have left the field only to
be followed by another sset of these
cormorants, who are, if possible, great
er swindlers than the first. Their
packages contain but two ounces of
candy, worth at wholesale not over
four cents, and the prizes are so scarce
that the greenhorns deplete their peck
t-books in securing solitary silver
coin"
We have also had visit from one
of these prize package men, and we
are of the opinion that he took more
money from the people Of this place
than he gives in dozen towns of its
size. True, some prizes were drawn,
but not enough to make Alpena any
richer.

"add harmony to the element in power :"
