1t will be noticed by reference to the
Times of yesterday that call has been
made upon Rev. S. v Leech, to deliver
his lecture upon "Cuba, the Queen of
the Antilles, for the benefit Of the poor
of Cumberland on the evening Of De
ccmber %, 1878, at Belvidere Hall, the
use of which has been kindly offered for
the occasion. Mr.. Leech Is so well
known to our people as All eloquent and
pleasant speaker, that any effort to the
merits Of the lecture would be supertlu-
Gus. But the subject chosen is one to-
ward which public interest and atten-
ton has for some time been directed,
although strange as it may appear, OF
which the great mass of the American
people seem to know vety little. That
this will be abundantly demonstrated
on the 23d we feel certain. Cum5er-

SrrIors ACCIDENr.-Wc dnesday at
ternoon as party OF painters, two in
number, were engaged in applying q
coat of paint on the roof of the Roliln9
Mill, the ladder upon which they were
standing, and which was reclining upon
the roof of the building, became loose
from its fastening in some way, ana IN
moment the two workmen were Sid
ing with increasing velocity to the
ground below. One OF them, whose
name we were unable to learn, seized
hold OF the spoutiny in his passage
downward, thus materially breaking the
violence Of the fall, and he landed upon
terra frma with only few bruises.
The other gentleman whose name Is
Chambers, and who is said to have 4
family living at IIarpers Ferry, was
not so fortunate as his companion, and
was precipitated to the ground with
sufficient violence TO fracture his thigh
and infict other severe injuries about
the head. He was carried to his board
inc house, where DR.. Weffrey, was call
ed in, and gave him such attention as
his wounds required Cumberland

From the Bay City Journal.
INV City and AIpena.

Bay City and Aipena.
In the d,velopement Of the HUI
ron country, to the north especial
'ly, Bay City has vital interest.
Whatever doubt may have been
previously entertained as to the flu
ture Of our city and the relations
it is destined to sustain against the
adjacent territory, and particularly
the country to the north, there is
now no longer any reason to doubt
that Bay City is to be not only the
largest and richest city of Michi-
gan, excepting Detroit, and, posi-
bly,, Grand Rapids, but the COM
mercial and industrial centre Of the
entire Huron shore. Hence it be-
comes of vital Importance to us to
have the best connections establish
ed with all the surrounding towns.
We are now the best railway CEN
tire in Northern Michigan; but
there are some rich and enterpris-
ing places along the shore to the
north with which we must contin-
ne to be connected for some time
by water transport. First of all
these is the rapidly growing town
of Alpena, between which and
this city are many natural causes
of union of business interests.
Whatever tends to build up this
shore country can hardly fail to
have a good effect upon both pla-
ces.
The line Of steamers that is to
ply between Bay City and Alpena
this coming season, is likely to be
the best appointed of any we have
ever had.
The old company known as the
"River a. Lake Shore Line" that
has heretofore run all the lines be-
Detroit and the Straits and the in
termediate points, was broken up
about the first of January. In the
division Of different routes among
the former stockholders, the Bay
City g. Alpena Line fell to Captain
Cole, of Detroit. A more fortu-
nate thing could not have happened
to the inhabitants of this northern
section. Captain Cole has sailed
these lake for twenty-five years
and knows them as well as any MAJ
living. More than this, he is {
genial, warm-hearted man, who al
ways does his utmost for the com.
fort of his. passengers. A more
prudent man cannot be found OF
the lakes. He will at the opening
of the season put on the "Huron'
and "Lake Breeze" and about tn,
LIST of June, the SHERMAN" a new
boat on this route. The "Sher
man" was formerly n Government
revenue-cutter and is now bein!
refitted in Chicago at a cost O
$4,000. She is one of the tastes
boats on the lakes, capable of run
ming twenty-five miles an hour il
fair weather without effort. TIL,
appearance of this boat will revo
lutionize travel between Bay Cit,
and Alpena and intermediate points
as she will run to Alpena and bacl
to Bay City every day. That Their
may be no delays, most of tn
freight will be carried on otheI
boats.
Looking forward to season o
extraordinary activity, and know
ing as we do that the citizens o
this place and Alpena will have
more commercial and business in
terchange this year than ever be
fore, we can but congratulate our
selves and our Alpena friends on 81
fine prospect for communication
between the two places. Long liv'
Captain Cole Hasten the coming
Of the Sherman
