in the Jail in this city made a des-
perate attempt to escape last week,
but their little scheme was hust-
rated in time to prevent their I'M
noticed departure. The men await

LONG LAKE.--A visit to Long
Lake q few days since convinced us
that too much cannot be said OF
this beautiful body of water and
the country surrounding. OF
course, it is a wild wilderness all
around, but many enterprising set
tiers have taken up farms here,
and the shores on either side arc
dotted with cleaiings and houses of
the sturdy farmers, who are making
every improvement possible. The
land is rich and yields enormously.
We saw some of the largest pota-
tos at the lake we ever saw any
where, and they were sound and Of
delicious flavor. While at tho

lake we were tenderly cared for by
one of the settlers, John Rensberry,
who, with his sail boat conveyed us
to all parts of the lake, and when
we returned Mrs. Rensberry al
ways had good, hearty meal await
ing us. And thus our visit was
made very pleasant. About one
and half miles from the foot of
the lake, on the west side, Frank
Drew and J. III. Small contemplate
erecting a hotel for the accommo-
dation of pleasure seekers. These
men have now good sail boat on
the lake, and ere another season
will put on more of them. Every
farmer on the lake has boat of
some kind, and it is a slight task to
go out for short time and return
with a splendid string of bass and
picherel, which abound in the clear
waters in large quantities. There
is one thing sadly needed, and that
is a good road from Alpena to the
foot of the lake, which would bring
it but eight miles distance, and not
until this is done will there be any
considerable amount of excursions
to Long Lake. But with q good
road, it can be made one of the fin.
est resorts in Michigan. Let those
who have the Long Lake country:
interest at stake put forth their ear
nest efforts and make a good roat
to its nearest point, and Long Lake
will be famous,

SALT WELL.-Work at the salt
well in this city is progressing, and
the boring seems to go forward
with all due diligence. A depth of
over fifty feet has been reached
with but comparatively little diff
Guilty. Mr.. Hagerty informs us
that he will push the work forward
as fast as possible to the end, and
if salt can be found here, he is de-
termined to bring it to daylight"

Fire at East Saginaw.

Two salt blocks, with capacity
of 200 barrels per day, q boarding
house, and four or five small tene-
ments, the property of Haskin,
Martin IL Wheeler, Immediately OPP
posite the city, were destroyed 10y
fire at about 10 o'clock Friday, to-
gether with $500 barrels of salt
mostly in the bin. The total los,
is probably $4,000. The insur.
ance is about $4,000. The third
block adjoining was on fire severa,
times, but was saved. Two mills
one'saw and one single and stave
mill, were in imminent danger, but
were also saved, throug the efforts
of the fire departments of the two
cities. j. NJ. Weaver, John Dun
lap, and Douglass Clark, drivers of
hose carts, were burned, the former
quite badly, while driving their
carts through the fire.

CARLEToN.-Will NJ. Carleton,
the famous michigan Poet" gave
readings at the Congregational
Church last Wednesday and Thurs
day evenings, and was listened to
by large and appreciative audiences.
Tie delivered his poems in man
ner that did him much credit,
and much better than the most
sanguine had anticipated. When
he delivered his poem entitled "The
Editors Guest" we could but smile
at the life-like illustration so skill
fully draws by the pen on one who
doubtless "knows how it is himself"
Well put in is the questions of the
editor in regard to "Jim":
"Is your son small unbound edition of Moses
and Solomon both
Con he compass his spirit with mcekness, and
strangle a natural oath
Can he leave all his wrongs to the future, and car
ry his heart in his check
Can he do AN hours work in a minute, and live on
sixpence a week !"
How few there are of the gener-
al public who could listen to that
beautiful and truthful poem and
justly appreciate its sentiments
How few of the reading world have
the faintest idea how many editors
are, as it were, compelled to ''live
on a sixpence a week." simply be-
caus their dollars are scattered over
the country in other peoples pock-
cts.
