DROwNED.-Saturday week be-
fore last, Geo. Johnson, Archie Full
lerton and VIM. Morley, of Presque
Isle were in this city for supplies
which they conveyed to the above
place in sail boats. When they left
this port Louis Boudoyn accompan-
led them, and they were towed to
the vicinity of Nine Mile Point by
the tug Gem. They proceeded on
to Pressure Isle, and Boudoyn took
his trunk and effects from there,
placed them in one Of the boats,
and started back, and last week
Monday, about two o'clock in the
afternoon parties heard him calling
for help at a point OH the lake near
Nine Mile Point, but there was a
heavy squat, and no one dared go
to his relief. His cries were dis
tinctly heard during greater part
of the afternoon, and when the
wind went down, at sunset, the
boat was found with sails set, filled
with water, stern down, being held
in that position by the stones used
for ballast. His trunk was picked
up near by and taken care of, but
no trace Of the unfortunate man
could be found, and it is very prob
able that he found watery grave.
We believe he has a sister in this
city. He was unmarried, and APP
parently about twenty-three years
of age.

ARRESTED FOR RAPE.-There is
in this city poor unfortunate girl
twelve years of age, who is not al
together right in her mind, or who
has no mind at all, being an imbe-
ellie, besides having a crippled
hand, and last Wednesday brute
called man, named Samuel Gowan,
was seen TO take this girl into q
barn, and some ladies being sus-
picious of the intentions, armed
themselves with clubs and proceed
ed to the barn where they arrived
in time to witness the fiend in the
very act of committing rape They
sat upon him with their weapons
and finally succeeded in driving
him from his damnable purpose.
They then fastened him in the barn
and sent for an officer, who CARED
for him by lodging him in Hotel de
Spratt. The ladies say that he of
fered to give them twenty-five dol
lars if they would let him out be-
fore the officer came, but that little
enterprise did not work to his sat-
isfaction. On account of the alb
scnce of the Prosecuting Attorney
the examination was postponed I'M
til his arrival.

Official Meeting.

There was q meeting of the Local
Board of the Michigan Mutual
Life Insurance Company, ut the
Fletcher House, on Wednesday, Ju-
ly 3.
The meeting was called to order
by Vice President J. j. Potter.
A committee on valuation was
appointed which consisted of J.
Gillett, w. II. Potter and w. III.
Johnson, whose duty is to investi-
gate all applications for loans, and
consider the security offered as col
lateral.
Some points of much interest to
the public were discussed.
lst. The non-forfeiture of all
policies issued by the company,
which is a State law, and the rules
are provided in the law for the es-
timation of the value of each and
every policy. This is ono feature
which commends the company over
all others.
I'd. That the company being a
mutual company, must, in justice to
their policy-holders, who are, in fact
the company, pay dividend on the
second and subsequent years prem
iums, to the policy-holders, that af-
ter doducting the reserve and ex-
pense at the end of each fiscal year,
the balance in the company's hands
is divided on the contribution plan,
with the policy-holders. Said div
idcnd may be used in deduction OF
the next payment, making the
premium less every year, or it may
be left with the company to pur-
chase additional insurance.
81. The company do not take the
premiums paid for insurance out of
this county. This item, if duly
considered, shows to each and every
citizen that he is actually contribut-
ing to the finances Of this country
by insuring in this company, there
10y creating a continually increas-
ing capital which may be borrowed
upon good real estate security, by
application to the attorney, Mr.. V.
c. Burnham, of Alpena.
This is surely favorable oppor-
tunity to secure life insurance with
the satisfaction of knowing our
money is paying a dividend from
the beginning. Messrs. Coats and
Shumard are here often for applica-
tons, and will give all an oppor-
tunity for a policy.
