THE SUPERIOR TINES.
SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1872.

OTuef Oh Tue Gay.
REAL estate transfers to non president par
ties at good prices the past week.
RUMoRs on all sorts of subjects are thick
as June mosquitoes, in Superior at present.
Some are true, and some are rumors.
LADIES, do not fail to call and see Mrs.
Champions complete assortment OF Mill
merry and Fancy Goods which she is daily
receiving
ONE propeller, the Mineral Rock, Win
tered on Lake Superior. She will proba-
bly, be 'the first boat in this quarter the
present season.
Folks like Superior. 1t is a good place
to live in. A real genuine old Superiorite
cannot be coaxed or driven away from this
Seat Of Destiny.
The floating population on Lake Superior
are all making straight tail for Ashland.
The wind is in that quarter now. Blow,
We breezes, blow.
REMovAL.-Geo. N. Smith has moved
his store to the building lately occupied as
a post office, where he will still be glad to
see his customers.
THE Racine advocate is well edited
and reliable paper, sound on the questions
of the day 1t occupies high place on
our exchange list.
AGRICULTURE has made high pressure
progress since our last issue. We are
bound to live on the marrow fat Of the land,
whether school keeps or not.
UNCLE Sans mail arrives now in good
time. What an advance over the old
times when Superior had to thrill half
week after the rest of creation.
Ice no longer wearies the sight. The
last yestige disappeared from the Bay on
Tuesday morning. No ice visible Ill the
Lake. Water, water, everywhere.
WHAT brilliant effects of light we have in
the transparent atmosphere Of the Lake Su
perior latitude. People in the hospital lat
itudes ought to crawl up to this region and
enjoy the suncure.
FERRY boat Zero has made several trips
to Duluth by the Lake. The wind has IA
yored this route for several days. This
morning the bay route was resumed on &C
count Of n E. breeze.
WE hear that little son of William
Kimball narrowly escaped being shot by
a young man engaged in duck hunting on
Corners Point lately. Gunners along the
bay shore cannot possibly be too careful.
In reference to the Duluth charge that
some Superior man blew up the dyke, one
of our indignant citizens says, that in the
language of certain man down South, he
"denies the allegation and despises the
alligator"
THE Herald man took the cork from q
"pop bottle" on Monday night about eleven
O'Clock, and went home reporting a robber,
an earthquake, gunpowder plot, and fifty
feet of the dyke gone. Pretty strong pop,
surc's you're born.
IT would drive the poets wild to see the
morning brightness on our Bay and Lake
Poor fellows. There's Tennyson in muggy
England, and Longfellow in bleak Yankee
land. If they lived in this region we
should have to weight them down, sartin.
WE learn from the last number of the
appeal that only three "venders of orphan
elixir" are left under the new law in Supe-
rior. Also that forlorn saloonist here
lays all the trouble to "the --- Puri-
tans'' in the community who "never do Il
days work" and "spend their time going
to prayer meeting.'
THAT popular merchant, Vincent Roy,
came home last Thursday from ST. Paul
He brought with him the most beautiful
stock Of dress goods we have ever had the
pleasure of examining. Everything novel,
from the cheapest print to the richest silks
also hats and bonnets Of the latest style.
Go in-cheop for cash.
MIXED weather this week. Rain Sunday
night. Northeast wind Monday Heavy
fog Tuesday morning, followed by strong
aoutherly wind. Cold west wind Wednes-
day; rain changing to snow. Bright day
Thursday till towards evening, then heavy
rain storm from the west. Yesterday and
to-day bright and beautiful.
