CARRIERS ADDREss.-On Thurs
day, January LIST, 1874, our Carrier
will present to the patrons of the
ARGUS, the Second Annual Ad-
dress" AS the Carrier has ever
been prompt and faithful in the
performance of the duties Involving
upon him, never hesitating for a
moment for rain, or sleet, or snow,
but has been as punctual as the
clock, delivering the paper as it
might be, nearly at the same hour
every Tuesday, he is deserving of a
hearty encouragement. We hope
that when he presents his address
to his patrons on Thursday next,
they will reward him in a manner
that will give him no cause to re-
greet that he has been faithful in the
past, and give him renewed energy
to undergo his trials for another
twelve months

FIRE.-Between nine and ten
o'clock yesterday morning the resi-

fire. The alarm was Immediately
given, the goods moved ont, and by
the prompt assistance Of the citi-
zens, the building was saved from
total destruction, before the fire
department could render aid. The
damage is about 5000, mainly from
a too hasty tearing out of windows,
doors, etc. No insurance.

Moving Forward.

Last week, Messrs. Doane, Bing-
ham d. Co. put their grist mill in
operation, and ground out some
very beautiful -four, from wheat
raised in this county, and we, at
least, considered it as good Christ
mas dinner as a resident Of Alpena
could wish for, to be able to say
that we had eaten bread made from
-four ground in Alpena, from wheat
raised in our own county.
This is the first season of grind
ing and only a commencement.
Our farmers have heretofore had no
chance to get their wheat converted
into -four, and have consequently
sown very little or none. But now
the tide is turned, and last fall there
was a large quantity of wheat
sown, and in the spring there will
he still more.
Who will say that Alpena county
is not growing! The sturdy farmer
is every year advancing farther and
farther into the forests, his number
of acres under a state of cultiva-
ton steadily increases, and with re-
newed energy every season he
pushes on to a glorious future. His
lands cannot be excelled for rich
ness in the whole country, and the
yield of his crops are therefore
very large, and consequently profit
able.
First one Improvement and then
another, and thus we are ever NOV
ing forward on the line of enter
prise and industry. Yet there are
chances for other branches of in
dustry, which will, we trust, soon
he established here, and the work
of building up be kept steadily and
earnestly on the increase.
In 1872 there was about GOO
bushels of wheat raised in this
county, which was shipped below.
In 1878 there was about 1000
bushels, which will find market at
home.

CHRIsTMAs.-Christmas was not a
very lively day in this city, as the
scarcity of currency had consider
able effect as to any extensive de-
monstrations. On Christmas Eve
Christmas tree, well laden with
gifts was one of the attractions at
the Congregational Church, and a
crowded house was the result. At
the Catholic Church the evening
was passed in similar manner.
At the residence of the Rev. w.
W. Rafter, pastor of the Episcopal
Church, the Sabbath School teach
ers congregated with their scholars,
and distributed tokens of friend
ship to the children, after viii, h all
the guests, land the house was
crowded,) partook of beautiful
supper, and q very pleasant even
ing was passed. Services were
held ut the various Churches on
Christmas day, and the town was
very quiet. In tho afternoon the
ice on the river was thronged with
skaters, who seemed to enjoy them
selves 10 their heart's content. Al

dangerous oneson the back OF

Chas. SCHNEIDER, Grand Tyler of
the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania.
died in Philadelphia recently. To
the Masoni fraternity of the Unit

been long and favorably known
the position of Grand Tyler having
successfully descended from father

great-grandfather, grandfather and
father having all held the office.
The Postmaster al Manassas, Va,
having resigned his position was
asked by the Department to recon-
mend a suitable person as his sue
cessor. Being unwilling to recon-
mend any without testing the de-
sire of the people, he ordered an
election for the purpose. The vot-
ing was without reference to party
lines, and there were very few of
the wives and daughters of the
promiDant citizens of the village
who did not improve the first
chance Virginia ladies ever had TO
exercise the right Of suffrage. The
result of the election was very
much as anticipated. A larger !
rote was polled than was ever cast

The communication in the last
weeks issue of the Pioneer, over
the signature of "a. Pack" was
couched in language too far de-
grading to be worthy of comment
from us, although we have no doubt
that Mr.. P.'s intentions we're good,
and that he merely made an OPEN
ing to the development of some
matters of importance to the peo-
ple,-though it was a queer COM
mencement. But we must say,
that, Notwithstanding the Pioneer
man is the recipient of favor at the
hands of the Common Council, he
is willing to allow others the use
Of his columns for a purpose for
which he dare not use them him
self, and would thus bite the hand
that feeds him, by such unwarrant-
ed, scurilous and personal attacks
on the whole Board. What a
jewel and ornament to society()!

New MUsIC.-We are indebted
to Robert Stone for several pieces
of new sheet music. Mr.. Stone has
recently made notable improve
ments in the interior of his estab-
lishment, and one of these is in the
supply of large stock of the lat
est pieces of sheet music. Those
in quest of sheet music can now he
furnished at home, instead of being
obliged to send away for it.
