Of trapping crows, which viii interest

WHAT I KNOW ABOUT TRIM
MING.-Since the days of our grand
mothers, there has never been such
a rage for trimmings upon ladies'
drossos and suits 90 this yoar, ond
the most popular is the so called
French fold, made from bias mater
ial, put upon the dress in a veliety
of styles. To trim dresses at the
present day without the various
Sewing Machine attachments
would be an impossibility.
A young man in Chicago has just
invented an Improvement for all
Sewing Machines, with which to
put on the fold as fast and as easily
as an ordinrry hem can be made.
The same implement is also a prac-
teal Binder and good Hemmer.
1t is being made and sold by the
Leslie Rulne Company, and is
valuable addition to the Sewing
Machine. 1t is called Comings'
French Trimmer, and will be sold
by all Sewing Machine Agents.

FIRE.-Our city has again been
visited by the terrible fire king.
Shortly before IL o'clock last We'd
nesday evening a fire was discover
ed i'm the barn of B. f. Luce, which
was situated on River street, and
and in the rear of his handsome
dwelling. The alarm was immedi-
ately sounded, and the fire com
pany were soon on hand, but be-
fore the raging elements could be
checked, Mr.. Luce's residence and
n new dwelling owned by Mr.. III.
Hyatt were wrapped in flames.
The firemen worked nobly, and
succeeded in combining the fire to
the above mentioned buildings,
Notwithstanding the close proximi-
ty of other wooden structures.
Fortunately but very little wind
was blowing, or many other build
ings would have been i'm eminent
danger. At about three o'clock
the fire was nearly extinguished,
and considered safe enough to
leave. One horse and two cows
were devoured i'm the flames, they
being the property of Mr.. Luce,
md were valuable stock. Mr..
Hyatt's loss is $1,000 and no insur-
ancc. Mr.. Luce's loss Is about
$4,000; insured for $500. The
ire was supposed to be the work Of
nm incendiary.
Anothcr.-About four o'clock on
Thursday morning the shingle mill
Of Hopper, Davis & Co., situated
about one mile from the business
portion of the city, was discovered
in flames, and before any assistance
arrived it burned to the ground.
The mill had not been running
since the previous Saturday, and
the belief that it was inccndiary is
general. The loss is from $4,000 |
% S1I, 900; insured for $4,000.

RAILROAD.-Our business men
are beginning to see and feel the
neces' ity of a railroad, and are
waking up to the enterprise. A
meeting of our most prominent
citizens was held at the Fletcher
House last Tuesday evening, at
which time the matter was thorouh-
ly discussed, and we have no doubt
that immediate steps will be taken
to put Alpena in railroad commune
cation with the balance of civiliza-
ton. Let the good work proceed.
