EDITOR OF Arrows II deem 1t to be my duty as a

against defendent in the case The city Justice
did take as evidence receipt fous hours after the

Long Lake.

Mr.. Case, who has been engaged
part of the time this season in loca-
ting settlers about Long Lake, informs
us that quite a number of persons are
commencing on their homesteads by
clearing lands and building log houses
lie is quite enthusiastic over his Long
Lake settlement, believing it the best
location in the county. The land is
excellent, he says, and the lake one
of the finest in the State. Its waters,
clear as crystal, abound with fish of
the finest quality, and the land for a
long distance back is covered with a
dense growth of beach and maple
He believes that when a road is open
cd up to it, which will be soon, Long
Lake will become one of the most
popular resorts in northern Michigan.
1t is nine miles long and over a mile
wide. The lands in the vicinity of
the lake being high and dry; very few
flies or mosquitoes, those pests of the
woods, are seen or felt. Beautifully
wooded bays aud headlands add to the
charm of the lake, and soon the shores
will be dotted with the cabins of the
settlers. Mr.. Case thinks it the duty
and interest Of the people of this city
to open up road to this charming re-
treat, the only one accessible to us.
The ground he informs us is excellent
for road, being dry and hard, and
only needing small expenditure to
make it passiblc for almost any kind
If conveyance. The distance to the
shore of the lake is but seven miles
and road is already opened portion
of the distance, and surveyed the bal
auce of the way. lie suggests that
the people of the city assist the town
ship to open a road there, by its lead
ing citizens contributing something to-
wards the work. To-day a hundred
persons would be glad to visit Long
Lake and spend a day or two there
but are deferred on account of having
to walk portion of the way and pack
the necessary outfit. Let each of
these contribute two dollars a piece,
and passible wagon route could be
made right to those Of the Lake.

From the N. Y. Erening p,

That the efficacy of medicine depends
largely on the imagination OF the pa
tient, is fact we'll known among the
faculty and utilized by skillful ply
sicians. In fact it may be doubted
whether the success of a good doctor
does not depend more on his ability to
manage the mind and direct the imagI-
nings of his patient than on his skill in
dealings with his bodily organs. An
old lady in Bloomington, H., was re-
Gently afflicted by grievous ailment,
for which she received from doctor, who
was her oracle in matters physical, a
sovereign remedy in the form of pills.
By the side of the pill box in her cup
board was box Of glass beads of much
the same size and color. At the proper
intervals the old lady was wont to take
the prescribed number, not of the pills
but of the beads, and just as the last in
the box was gone she was entirely cured
of her complaint. The medicine and
the old woman's fancy worked together
