Personals,

The family of Mr.. Elliot, on
Wednesday, started for their new
home at Jamestown, ont on the n. 2.
James Collier, Esq, We p~2nl2r
proprietor of The Travellers Home,
went down to the Sanity City, the
first of the week.
In the last issue of The Ashland
Press there appeared very spicy
and interesting letter from Tom
Bardon, dated at Montreal, Canada
Tom reports pleasant trip so far,
and seems determined to swing en-
tirely round the circle.
We were pleased to make the ac-
quaintance, yesterday, of Capt.
Patrick, of the tug Wadsworth, who
came up from Ashland with load
of passengers, and who stopped in
town long enough to take in some
of the excellent ''hash" of the
flasher Houke.
The many friends of Thompson
Richie, Esq, both at home AID
abroad, will, no doubt, be pleased
to learn of his safe return to Su-
perior, he having arrived home last
evening from his lengthy visit to
the Getty of Brotherly Love" Tom.

and not whit older, for all he has
been down where most everything
is hundred years old.
Mr.. Richie returned accompan-
led by lady cousin, who, being in
rather poor health, has come up
here to enjoy for a while the invig-
Grating and healtA-l es ,oring climate
of Lake Superior.
On Wednesday last, Mr.. VIM.
Wunderle, our wothy shoemaker,
in company with his family, left for
ST. Paul, at which place he intends
opening a bot an I shoe shop. Mr..
w. has been a resident and bust
ness man Of Superior for over twenty
years, I'd our citizens generally
very much regretted to see him go;
but the boot and shoe-making bust
ness in Superior having become
very dull, it offered no inducements
for him to remain, hence his remov-
al. Mr.. Wunder.e goes from Us
with the best wishes of the com
munity, and as an honest, upright
and square-dealing man we commend
him to the generous patronage OF
the citizens of the SANITY City.

On Tuesday night, about /, 200
cords of hard wood were burned in
the vicinity Of the n. P. Junction,
belonging to Mr.. Dunlap. The fire
was a terrible one. The track was
buned, telegraph wires and poles
destroyed, and a general destruction
of everything near it. 1t is sup
posed that the fire was an act OF an
incendiary, as the Junction is con-
sidered a perfect hell hole for fires.

"A Cincinnati commercial CORE
spondent writes from Utah that the
opposition to polygamy is certainly
increasing. Old stagers, like Brig
ham, Pratt, and Cannon, are OF
course more stubborn than before
they felt their ancient prestige slow
ly slipping from them. But the
children-there growing up in all
this ''polygamistic'' paradise-are
bitter as gall against it. Many of
the children of the legal wife, that
is the first wife, are SO heretical that
they will not even recognize their
brorhers and sisters-the chiIeren
