nal burial robes, and wonderfully per-

posted eighteen or twenty months ago

archaeological treasures. The lid of
the coffin which contained the royal
mummy was inscribed with the name
of its occupant, Pharaoh Mykerlmus,
who succeeded the heir of tho builder

the wind along Partridge Point. de-

the wind along Partridge Point, de-
stroyed nearly everything, includ-
ing crops, as it went. A party out
sailing in the afternoon saw the fire
on the point, which was fast near
ing the residence Of Alex. McAu-
ley, placing it in emminent danger.
The boat was headed for shore, and
after some difficulty landing was
effected, and the excursionists at
once proceeded to render McAuley
what assistance they could to save
his property. After working in the
fire and smoke for more than an
hour, and removing the furniture,
ETC., from the house, the wind shift
ed little, when, by hard work,
they succeeded in getting the build
ing out of danger. But Mr.. Nc
Auley lost large amount of cedar
posts, fence, etc. The wind went
down with the sun, and the next
morning the fire on the point was
nearly out. He also lost a part of
his household goods, which took
fire after they were taken from the
house.
Fires have also been raging west
and north of this city, and every
body was forced to turn out and
fight fire, to save their lives and
property, and even then great dam
age was done.
All along the shore south of here
the fire has made great havoc. The
telegraph line was broken in many
places, cutting off all Geographic
communication between here and
Bay City.
About one mile southwest of this
city the fire ragged furiously, and
was swept to the bay on Friday af-
ternoon, taking nearly everything
as it went. But fortunately, no
buildings were burned.
At Altoona, Thursday, the mill
was shut down, and all hands turn
ed out to check the approach of the
fire. Many logs, ETC., were burned,
and other property consumed.

Steam Whistle Nuisance.

Our people are getting to think
rather hard things and express loud
words in regard to the steam whis-
ties, which commence their screach-
ing about four o'clock every morn
ing, and then keep it up at inter-
walls during the entire day. If this
nuisance could in some way be
remedied it would add much to the
good humor of many of our citizens,
1t is not very pleasant to be start
led with an uneaithly yell from O
whistle a dozen times q days, and
the practice of such signals as q
call to commence or leave of work
is being condemned by a large num-
Der of our citizens.
The Common Council Of Detroit
have put stop to whistle blowing
in that city, and the effect has been
pleasing one. Let the Council OF
Alpena take this matter in hand
and see If the nuisance cannot be
abated.

Fires i'm the Woods.

There having been but little rain
for some time in this locality, ev-
erything is as dry as finder, and for
about week great fires have been
raging in the woods in nearly oil
directions. The wind was in a
westerly direction the greater part
of last week, and was blowing n
gale for three days. The fires,
which were back in the woods,
were swept at q rapid rate toward
the shore, and a very large amount
of property has been destroyed.
On Friday the flames reached the
shore along the southwest Of this
city, and Travelled with the speed O.

TO Our SUBSCRIBERs.-Sub-
scribers to the ARGUS will bear in
mind that on and after the first day
of July next, all who receive their
paper through the Post Office must
pay postage thereon, at the rate of
Eve cents per quarter, in advance.
Many of our subscribers would,
without doubt, prefer to get their
paper at the Office of publication,
and thus save the postage which
has been saddled on them and the
press throughout the country by
o too hasty Congress. For their
convenience we have made arrange
ments to deliverthe ARGUS at the
office where printed. All who de-
sire to call at our office for their
paper will please signify their in
tention by leaving word with us as
soon as possible.
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1873-06-24

CAUTIoN.-At this time of the
season, when everything is as dry
as finder, people should be very
careful about setting fire to rubbish
or stump piles, as fire once start
ed, with very little wind, will
travel uncomfortably fast some
times. Some people are very
careless in regard to fire, and it is a
great wonder that we do not have
more fires than we do have. Last
week fires were lighted in all parts
of the city, to burn stump heaps,
and the dry times put the whole
place in peril. can ounce of pre-
tentative is worth more than q
pound of cure" Take warning in
time.

excellent entertainments mt Beebe's

evenings of this week. Bonnie ex-

all were highly pleased with the en-
tertainments. This boy, wonder is
well known throughout the United
States and Canadas, and full houses
are sure to greet him wherever he
goes. We feel confident that our
citizens will turn out and give the
company full house.
