Cow QustiOn Again.
I'M A. TJ.4A

| We are i'm trouble at our house. Our
cabbages have all been destroyed, eaten
up bya cow. When we set out those
cabbages they were small and tender
plants, it was just after shower, we
planted, we watered, we hOed and watch
ell with anxious eye their growth, until
at last heads began TO form. 1t seemed
that my labors were TO be enriched with
much ..Sour Kraut'' for the long cold
winter, aud rejoiccd and was exceeding
ly glad.
We sent the children to school that
| fatal day, wife and went to the funeral,
when we returned there The COW was in
our cabbage patch. she did not seem to
be half as much astOnished as we were,
but kept quietly munching down our
prospective sour krout. | would know
that COW il | should see her in Canada,
she was black aud had board fence
around her neck, whether it was placed
there as a mark of respect, Or for the
purpose of having her always fenced in,
this depOnent saith not, but do know
that our cabbages are all gone. and that
cow eat them all up, now how do you
suppose she got into that '.patch?" May
be you would not believe it, but she
pushed open the wood she'd door. went
through that shed, up a pair of stairs
through narrow hall and down another
pair of stairs and out among the cab
bage, certainly the most intelligent cow
| ever met and [ told her so too, as
gently opened the front gate and invited
her out. No Mr.. Editor this is not the
only smart cow there is in town. They
have all run the streets and sidewalks so
much that they have learned many. very
many bad tricks, which if not unlearned
soon, in my opinion they should be put
in the pound just as soon as our village
authorities will make a regulation to put
them there, when found idIing their time
away.
Seriously, this allowing cows to run in
the streets, is nuisance and ought to be
stopped. S.

Evidently he was dissatisfied or he
never would have done so,sfor he delib-
erately went at it and with an old piece
of hinge he had wrenched from one of
the inner doors of his dwelling. he under
took to pry off the casing to his barred
window, hoping to make hole large
enough to crawl out through and thus 90
forth into the world not knowing how
much poorer bed he might fine to sleep
on when it would be furnished at his own
expense.
The night was dark when Samuel Har-
bold undertook to break Jail He worked
with the energy of despair, in doing so
he made too much noise and aroused the
near neighbors from their peaceful slum-
bcrs. They came forth by twos to see
what was the trouble. The two soon be-
come aware that Samuel was preparing
to flee. The two called young boy and
sent him for the Sheriff, while they wait
ed and watched.
There are none that will tell what the
two done while the boy was away for the
Sheriff. but we have no doubt but they
were fully prepared to defend themselves
should it be necessary. The Sheriff
came and still Samuel worked on des-
perately, savagely. The Sheriff unlocked
the door and with the two to back him
up entered the lonely building. Still
Samuel worked on at his task. making
the splinters fly this way and that and
not until the last moment would he dis
ist and then, not until the sheriff put the
cold irons apon his wrists. There was
no idle talk now, no bOasts nor threats,
language was too much for the sheriff and
the two, for they felt it was too much to
be thus aroused from their midnight sleep
So instead Of going ont into the cold
world to seek his fortune. Samuel Har,
bold, the burgler, still languishes in the
county Jail, and for aught we know with
the cold iron upon his wrists.

The Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad
COmpany.

During the past month we have had
occasion several times to consult with
the managers of this road, i'm reference
to the proposed Improvement i'm inland
navigation. We can cheelfully bear
witness to the fact that the company is
under the management of liberal and
public spirited men, men who labor for
the welfare of the country adjacent to
their road, as well as for their own in
terests. Ever since the project of i'm
proving the navigation of our inland
lakes has assumed a definite shape, it has
had no warmer supporters, or active
workers i'm its behglf, than the managers
of this popular route. They have been
even generous in the bestOwal of their
favors i'm aid of the enterprise. A road
i'm the hands of such men cannot fail Of
achieving popularity and ultimate sue
cess. In looking back over our efforts
in behalf of this enterprise, we shall al
way remember with pleasure, the valu-
BILE assistance rendered by the managers
of this company.

ENTERPRISE.

P. M. Lathrop has just received and
and opened fine and extensive line OF
crockery direct from the manufactory
in England. The goods came to Balti
more and from there by rail in bond to
Chicago, where the duties were paid and
from that point per Prop. Montgomery
to this place.
In purchasing these goods thus directly
from the manufacturer he is able to offer
them at reduced rates, giving those who
purchase of him as low prices as can be
found in any of the larger cities of the
United States.
Those wishing for goods of this kind
would certainly do well to give him a call.

In the notice i'm another column, cor

of Cheboygan's enterprising citizens, Mr.

"DRY AS A DICTIONARY.".-That t
phrase must pass away. Look into the
elegant quarto edition OF Webster's Una

just the order in which you can most

Appreciated.

The appointment of the manager of the
Tribune, Local Commissioner to take
charge OF the work done by the State,
upon the inland lakes, upon the recon-
mendation of some of the citizens of this
place and entirely unsolicited upon his
part, shows that the efforts of the Tribune
i'm behalf of the project are appreciated.
We feel highly gratified by this express
ion of confidence and shall endeavOr to
so conduct the work that the parties
making the recommendation, the Com
missioner in making, and the Board in
comforting the appointment, shall have
no cause to regret their action.
