"The Intelligent Composition

A slight displacement Of the types
often make ludicrous mistakes, and then
Of course the blame always falls on the
intelligent compositor." The "devil :"
seldom fails to get his due also. Some
times it is the Typographical black
smith" which receives the blessings
which are melted to the unhappy typos
when a mistake Of more than an ordi-
nary provoking nature Is discovered.
Last week one of these errors appeared
in our paper mt Oh to the disgust of many
of our friends of the Methodist Church.
1t was alkcaused by the displacement Of
single letter. An ''a'' took the place of
an sc" in the notice of the Christmas ar
engagements of the Methodist Church,
making Christmas bells read Christmas
balls. very provoking error, it is true !;
but mistakes are liable i'm the best
regulated families, and printing offices
are not an exception. If the readers of
papers generally would think of the vast
number Of types which have to be han
died separately to get out paper like
the TRIBUNE they would, we think, have
a little more charity for even the "intelli-
gent composition"

The Daily Mail.

The daily mail to this place is, we UNI

We learn that the special agent of the
Post Office department was in Petoskey

he fin finished this place until instructions
had been received from Washington.
This of course puts stop to any imme-
date prospects for a daily nail. Letters
have already, been dispatched to repre-
sentative Bradley at Washington, and
strong efforts will be made to secure the
of the route as daily.
We should have daily mail here at gov
eminent expense, and we will have it if
work will secure it, but In the meantime

A New Township.

The citizens of township SO north, 4
west, in Emmett County, have petitioned
the Supervisors Of that county to be or.
ganized into township to be called
Sherman. Inasmuch as there are al
ready seuen townships of that name in
the state, a Moss Back" in last weeks
Democrat, vigorously protests against
the proposed name. This multiplying
names of townships should be prohibited
by law, for until this is done people will
60 on and duplicate names regardless of
protests. Not only this; but at the next
session of the Legislature we hope this
subject will be taken up and townships
renamed, so that there shall be but one
of name in the state. There are now
seven called Sherman, five or six called
Colfax, and several others whose names
have been duplicated If not worse.

The Signal Service.

The chief signal officer of the army,
"Old Probs," has made report of the
department under his charge. He says
that the signal service is prospecting to
his fullest satisfaction. During the past
year 102 stations have been maintained and
reports promptly and regularly made.
The press has been furnished with the
full reports Of these stations. The pre-
dictions made from these observations
nave been verified by the real occurrence
to the close figure of more than eighty
seven to the hundred. The cautionary
signals displayed have proved justified to
seventy-six per cent. The good results
have been very appreciable IN the saving
of wrecks on the lakes and sea-coast.
Mariners observe the signals and act ac-
cordingly. On the whole, the service
has proved growing success, and will
soon be considered indispensable.

Another Navieation proiect.

Mr.. Henry Willis, of Battle Greek, is
preparing for the survey of ship canal
across the lower peninsular of Michigan
SO as to avoid, in the trade between Chi
cago and the east the delay and dangers
Of the long trip around through the
Straits of aMackinaw. He proposes to
start from the mouth of the Kalamazoo
River, improve that stream for slackwa-
ter navigation to the summit in Jackson
County, thence cut a canal to the Huron
River, and improve that to its junction
with the Detroit. Mr.. Willis estimates
that $4,000 will make the preliminary
survey, and $4,000, 900 complete the work.
Abundance of water, he claims, can be
obtained for feeders, and the cost of the
Improvement would soon be saved in the
long annual list of marine disasters
which would be averted. He proposes
the use of narrow gauge locomotives
for towing. The scheme would create
immense water privileges, and would es-
tablish ship-building at great number
of places on the route. no
This is project, however, that makes
a better showing upon paper than any
where else. Granting that Mr.. Willis
can make showing good enough to Sc
cure the requisite amount of capital to
complete the work, what proportion of
the vessels traversing the lakes does he
suppose could be induced to pass through
his canal. In our Judgment there would
be very small proportion. There would
be no time saved over the outside pass
age, with fair wind, for nigh rate of
speed could not be obtained without in
jury to the canal, and then, again, there
is hardly vessel on the lakes but which
would run the risk of the passage through
the straits rather than pay the tow bill
through the canal.

What h Known About ms Abroad.
Several times since the NORTHERN
TRIBUNE has been published, it has re-
marked that for some reason very little
was known abroad concerning this coun-
ty. We are now almost ready to say that
there Is probably no county In the state
Of the importance of this one about
which 80 little has been known abroad.
The Michigan Almanac, for 1876, which
has just been issued, contains the start
ling information that the county seat of
Cheboygan county is Benton. 1t would
seem that this is bad enough, but goes
even further. 1t calls attention with an
asteriski to marginal note, wherein the
valuable information Is given that the
post-office of this county seat is Cheboy-
gan. The Michigan Almanac has been
published for years, and has, by its uni
form accuracy, come to occupy stand
ard position throughout the state for val
liable statistical information. tits edited
by Mr.. G. X. Backus, one of the best
posted men i'm the state, and that such a
mistake could occur. can only be attribu-
ted to a wonderful lack Of knowledge of
of this section of the state. We venture
the assertion that more knowledge has
been disseminated throughout the state
regarding this section of the state during
the past six months, than for any two
years time previously. If our citizens
continue the cordial support thus far Civ
en- the TRIBUNE, during the year 1879
now 50 near at hand, Cheboygan county
will become so we'll known abroad that
such mistakes as the one we have noticed,
will be impossible, except as the result of
gross carelessness.

A Skating Rink.

Through the enterprise of two of Che
boygan'e citizens, Mr.. Clias. Farr, and
Capt. Thos. Foster, this village can now
boast of possessing skating rink. 1t
may be said by some that the place is
D utting on metropolitan airs, but we pre-
sun ne the boys and girls, young men and
mai, lens, will skate just the same. and
have as much fun as their more aristo-
cratic cousins of the large cities. The
rink has been built during the past week.
upon the west side of the river Just above
the bridge. 1t is forty-one feet wide by
one hundred feet long. 1t is to be rooted
over and enclo sed so that the ice can al
ways be kept in good skating condition;
and not only this, but person can skate
with good deal of comfort in any kind
of weather, for it is good deal like
skating In house. But this is not the
best part of It. In one corner is room
which will be heated with stove, where
a person can put on their skates with
some degree of comfort. A skating rink
is great institution and we are glad to
know that Cheboygan possesses one.

An Aggravated Assault.

The readers of the TRIBUNE doubtless
remember the excitement created by the
" Wild Man of the Woods last summer.
It is not of him, however, that this arti-
Gle refers; it is of his wife. She is a
simple-minded woman. 1t appears that
since the trouble last summer they have
been living on farm little distance in
The country. Yesterday the woman
came to town and entered complaint to
the Prosecuting Attorney that a man
living near where she does had assaulted
her with intent to commit rape. Her
story is that the man offered her ride
homo from town, and then took her to
an unfrequented road in the woods, where
he attempted improper liberties with ner'
She failed to give security for costs, so
no warrant could be issued. The mans
story is considerably different from hers,
still 1t is understood that he is anxious to
settle the affair, and it is likely that he
will do so with small sum Of money or
its equivalent.
