Fire at Cross Village.


Intelligence has just been received here
of very disastrous fire at Cross Village
on the second of this month. The saw
and grist mills belonging to the Catholic
Convent Institution together with the
adjacent barns were burned to the
ground. The loss must have aggregated
in the .neigborhood of $4,000, and per-
haps more for it is stated that the grain
which was burned, alone, was valued at
$4,000. We could not learn that there
had tten any theory advanced as to the
cause of the fire, or whether there was
any insurance. The loss will be a heavy
one, not only upon the Institution, which
is the direct loser, but upon the entire
surrounding county, for this was the on
ly mill i'm that part of the state, and the
numerous settlers who have moved in
there during the past season depended
upon these mills to great extent for
their supplies. Our informant did not
know whether the mills were to be re-
built or not.

The Street Lamps.

At last Cheboy gan can boast of hav-
ing street lamps. The posts were erected
during the week by Mr.. Stevenson and
Wednesday night few of the lamps
were lighted. They gave good light,
and will prove a great convenience to the
public generally. We do not think that
any expense which the village has gone
to will meet with more general apprecia-
ton than this. Only those lamps will be
put up this winter which the residents
will care for. This will save any expense
for lighting. 1t is likely that all the
lamps on Main street will be thus light
ed. Strangers coming into the place at
night will receive much better impress
sion Of the village from the lighted
steeets, than they would if all was dark.
This, i'm addition to the convenience expe-
rienced by our own citizens, will make
the lamps very profitable investment.

More Salt.


There is now a project under consider
alton at Alpena for boring for salt. 1t is
the general opinion of scientific men that
Alpena stands over the great salt basin of
this state. Saginaw, Bay City and other
places through the Saginaw valley pro-
cure brine in paying quantities, and the
wells have been successful up the shore
so far as Tawas. The wells at Alpena
have struck salt, which has been declared
to be of superior quality. If paying
we'll could once be started, it would add
largely to the profit of lumber mills, be-
sides giving employment to many more
persons. 1t is proposed to form eoni-
pany to test the matter by putting down
test well. Should this be done, it is
proposed that a thoroughly competent
man should be employed to do tie work,
and every foot of the we'll be examined
and recorded. a. t s

what Outsiders Think of It.

1t has now become pretty well pub
lished over the state that Cheboygan has
organized an Improvement association.
The fact that Cheboygan has commenced
to work for her own interests is attract
ing considerable attention this way. It
is only a few days since that one of our
citizens received a letter from party re-
siding in the southern part of the state,
who is reader of the NORTHERN TRI-
BUNE. He stated that he had read of the
organization with great deal of inter
est, and felt satisfied that it would, if
properly managed, do a great work to-
wards improving the place.
He also spoke in the highest terms of
the TRIBUNE, saying that it was not only
read eagerly every week by himself and
family, but that it went the entire rounds
of the neighborhood, and after that he
mailed it to friends in another part of the
state. Almost weekly we receive letters
of encouragement from different parts of
the country where the TRIBUNE is sent,
some of them speaking of the paper in
such high terms that we cannot help feel
ing somewhat fiattered. 1t is not often
that we, say much concerning the paper
or the work which it is endeavoring to
accomplish, prefering to let the paper
speak for itself, still we cannot refrain
from mentioning the receipt of such let
tiers, and say through the paper to all of
them at once that their kind words are
highly appreciated, and that we shall try
to have the paper merit i'm the future all
they have said i'm the past.

time pass without showing your love by
presenting them something in the line of
presents. Ifyour circumstances are such
that presents must necessarily be of small
value, give them nevertheless. 1t is the
love that prompts the gift, rather than
its cost i'm dollars and cents that gites it

NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. DECEMBER %. 1875.
The Police Court

In the days of Royal Charlie King OF
Scotland, the right of supremacy was
conferred upon those clans which were
the most. powerful He who led each of
those clans, was the hero of many a
Highland song, and his deeds of valor
were the theme Of many a camp fire.
Daniel Mcleod, is supposed to be de-
scendant of one of those ancient Scottish
leaders. He was an ox-teamster, only
this, and nothing more but the blood Of
the Scot flowed in his veins. He worked
n the lumber camp of Messrs. Barclay &
Co., and as far as we could learn did his
work well, but the spirit of insurrection
was mighty in him, and would prevail.
This was well enough for aught we
know, had it not been that he was anx-
iOus to lead the clans to insurrection al
so. The clans would not lead worth a
cent.
He cast his Ox-goad on the ground, de-
manded his time, and alone and unpro-
tected he started forth FOR Chebdygan.
He arrived in good time. He had a
small supply of filthy lucre with him,
which caused him soon to become clan
leader. Then how did he degrade him
self. He led them to imbibe of alcoholic
and malt liquors. He soon spent all his
money and had imbibed too much him
self, and the result was that without
money, and being very drink, he was
declared no longer a leader, and instead
was led to Jail by the Sheriff; where he
passed the long, weary hours Of the night
in getting sober.
In the morning he did not seem to care
much about any thing. He had lost the
spirit of leadership, and instead was led
before Justice Sutton.
The Squire greeted him cordially, but
Mcleod did not seem to wish any farther
acquaintance.
'.McLeod!' the Squire,
No attention from the prisoner, who
was gazing away off into vacancy.
"Ahem!.' said the Squire.
No attention yet; not even wink of
the eye.
"Prisoner!" said the Squire,
Not the least sign of attention did he
give, and he seemed tie be looking farther
off than ever.
"Whatis the matter with your prisoner,
Mr.. Sheriff." said the Squire, sis he
deaf?"
"Guess not" said the Sheriff, gently
nudging him, but could get no attention.
"Drunk yet" remarked the Squire.
swell it is five dollars and costs, or ten
days in JAIL" and he was led away to Pa

The Doctors Call.

A doctor is supposed to be ready and
willing to receive calls at any time, day
or night; and if times are little hard,
and patients scarce, he is not only willing
but anxious to receive them. i
1t had been cold and stormy day.
The hour was somewhat late, when one
of our physicians returned to his home
after the days labor. He sat for time
with his wife by the pleasant fire and
talked over the news of the day, and as
they thus whiled away pleasant hour,
the wildly drifting STOW as it came rush
ing against the window pane gave to
them feeling of satisfaction that they
had pleasant home which none could
molest.
The hour for retiring came. The shut
ters were close drawn. The doors were
secured, and the'whole household were
soon locked in slumber.
The hour was still later when Violent
ringing of the door bell caused 6dr good
doctor to spring from his couch and pre-
pare to hasten to the call of the stranger
at the door.
Now the doctor has this psctiliarity
that, if the bell rings in the night, and is
Immediately repeated, he becomes some
what excited; often to such an extent
that it delays his appearance instead of
fastening it. What wonder, then, on
this OCCASION; as peal after peal CAME from
the door bell, that the doctor danced
around lively. He got organized at last,
but not until he had drawn on his stock
ings three or four times, and pulled them
6f as many because the heel would
some how or other come where the toe
ought to be.
He got to the door at last, and pulling
it open as quickly as possible, he found a
man standing or rather leaning against
the door jam:
Said the doctor: "Well, what is want
ed?"
Said the man: sHic! want to stay all
night" at the same time trying to step
inside the door,
Said the doctor: 'Yoti San't stop
here; you had best 60 to hotel"
The mans reply was: "Hid! ean't
find it. Hic! don't know where it is"
And all the time he was trying in a tipsy
way to dodge by the doctor into the
house.
By this time the doctor was becoming
in earnest, and said: Nov, you get out
of this, or I'll go and get the sheriff and
have you arrested and put in Jail"
At this the man tried to straighten up,
but failed; so he leaned against the door
jam again, and said: s.Hic! that's jist
what want. Hic! I'll know where am
them"
After little more such conversation,
the doctor was finally rid of his caller for
that night, and allows that those are not
the kind of calls he wants. !.
We have since learned that the man has
found out where he is, for he was none
other than our Scotch friend Daniel Nc
LeOd, who now languishes in Jail, and an
account of whose arrest will be found in
another part Of this paper.

New Music.

. As metioned last week Messrs. A. w.
Wheat & Co., of East Saginaw, Mich,
send us several pieces of new music,
mostly OF their own publication. Our
musical education was sadly neglected in
youth, which rendered one of two
courses necessary for us to pursue either
to neglect the proper compliment of a
notice to Messrs. Wheat & Co., or to en-
ploy a musical editor. We chose the
latter. This we did regardless of ex-
pense, for we are determined that the
NORTHERN TRIBUNE shall not be behind
any of its contemporaries, in any respect.
10 be sure the m. e. has not yet fully as
sumed the duties of the position, which
requires us to notice the music ourselves,
but of course that does not effect the pop
ularity of the music in the least.
Of the pieces sent the Saginaw
March," by j. VanLoon, is a very pretty
and easy march, which doubtless has re-
ceived considerable local popularity,
which as soon as known would spread
much farther. 1Gr
The "Mazurka Elegante" is much
more difficult piece, and might please
those whose musical education had not
been neglected better than the first
named piece. ~-
? The SAngel of Killarney" song and
chorOus, words of Frank Durmont, music
by S. L. Fyler. AS. the name indicates,
this is an Irish melody. and very pleas
ing one at that.
''Little Wanderer out in the Snow"
words and music by j. Barton. Major
Barton is quite we'll known throughout
the state as an author, but is more gener-
ally known as the "Union Spy" The
piece is one of considerable merit, both
as regards the words and music. In fact
we may say that it is much above the
average of musical publications. 1t will
doubtless have large sale.
"Little Willie's last FAREWELL is by S.
L. Tyler. The title conveys general
idea of the piece. While it is quite a
pretty piece ana easyy We do not think it
will have the extended sale of the 'Iittle
Wanderer out in the Snow"
ALI these pieces can be had by address,
ing the publishers as above.

A search warrant was taken out and the
articles all found i'm the childrens posses
sion. They made no attempt to conceal
them, but admitted the theft at once
when charged. The children are very
poor and hardly old enough to be respon-
sible for their acts. No other action was
taken against them, but it is to be hoped
that this will be lesson to them that
will prevent any such acts in the future.
