Don't tell the little four-ycar-old jim

are commonly presented to the child
ish imagination. Think you the little

after he becomes acquainted with the
teacher who has not the least idea Of
putting these terrible threats into ex-
~ecution?
Don't tell the children they must

them black, while you continue the
use of it daily. Your example is more
to them than precept; and while your
face is as fair as June morning they
will scarcely credit the oft-told tale.
Either give up drinking the pleasant

Don't tell them they must not eat
sugar or sweetmeats because it will
rot their teeth. Pure sugar does not

with fruits is nutritious and healthy,
Notwithstanding the "old law" to the
contrary. The case Of city children is

Better by far to tell him the simple

him to take it at once. Ten to one he
will swallow it with half the trouble
Of coaxing and worry Of words, and

Don't teach the children, by exam

Truthfulness is one Of the foundation

A Matter of the Past.

MIR. Teft, Of the Alpena Pioneer must
be quite an antiquarian. During his re-
cent visit to Mackinaw he took occasion
to examine the county records of fifty or
more years ago, and among other things
he found the following:
$50. An account was presented by DR.. VIM.
Beaumont for surgical ard and medicine, for
Alexis st. Martin, p9uper, from December,
lS22, to June, 1873, for $50, WIFI was allowed.
f. HINCHMAN, Clerk.
1t will be remembered that it was
through the experiments of DR.. Beau
mont ON Alexis st. Martin that great
portion of the actual knowledge regard
ing the working of the human stomach
and the process of digestion became
known, and number of our readers no
doubt have studied these experiments
with interest. st. Martin had a portion
of his stomach shot away. He was I'M
der the care of DIR. Beaumont, who In
serted a piece Of glass in the cavity, by
which he could observe the state of the
stomach and the condition of different
kinds of food in process of digestion. 1t
may be also interesting to knowthat this
incident happened on the island of Mack
iEaw. 1t will be noticed by the date of
the bill that it was a little over fifty
years since these valuable experiments
yere made. -

the Congregational Church Entertain

ment.
The entertainment given by the ladies
of the Congregational Church on Thurs
day evening for the benefit of the church
was adecided success, both financially
and in the way ofan evenings enjoyment.
The supper was made rather of secon-
Diary Importance, although in the way OF
a supper it was all that could be desired,
the musical and literary part of the pro-
gramme in reality ranking first. This,
considering that it was arranged without
very much time for practice, was exceed
ingly good. The programme given was
as follows: Happy are we Tonight" by
the choir; followed by reading by James
j. Brown, 'Shamous O'Brien." Laugh of
Child.n by the choir then, came reci-
tation by Mrs. G. d ". Rollo. "Moss
Grown DELL" by the choir. This was
again followed by reading Jamie But
Ter and the OWL" by James j. Brown.
Mrs. and Mrs. Rollo then favored the
company with a duet, ''See the Pale
Moon" This part of the entertainment
was then closed by the choir singing
"Swissland." The programme was well
received throughout, and reflected a
good deal of credit upon the musical peo-
pie of the church. The reading of Mr..
Brown requires more than a passing no
tice. 1t was really excellent. Outside
of those who make reading.a profession,
he has few equals. To Mr.. Brown must
be attributed much of the enjoyment of
| the evening.
These efforts plainly demonstrated the
fact that there is talent sufficient in the
village to get up first-class evenings
entertainment and we trust that it will
not be long before they will decide to do
so. AT the close of this part of the en-
tertainment, the company repaired to the
lower room, where fine supper had
been prepared for them. This dispatched.
the company soon dispersed, all apparent
ly well pleased. The rooms had been
tastefully decorated with evergreens by
the ladies. The receipts were an even
$50, which may be considered a very ia
vorable result.

Hynenial.

Although the event had been looked
forward to as probable i'm the near future
by the friends of both parties, coming as
it-did without any warning or social stir,
it could not be other than a surprise.
We refer to the marriage of Mr.. r. j.
Corrigan and Miss Gertrude Geoble. The
event was solemnized last evening in the
quietest manner possible at the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. Legault, Rev. Father
DeCeuninck officiating. The bride was
one of the fairest of Cheboygan's young
ladies, and we congratulate "Dick," as
i'm fact we do both parties. The happy
pair will travel eastward on their we'd
ding tour, visiting Mr.. Corrigan's rela-
lions in Canada and many places of in
terest. The best wishes of large circle
of friends will follow them through life.

The Collected LIQUOR Taxes

The Treasurer of this county is hold
ing in his possession between six and
seven hundred dollars of liquor taxes
paid this year by the Cheboygan liquor
dealers, awaiting a decision of the SUI
preme Court as to the constitutionality
of the tax law This law distinctly states
what shall be done with the funds thus
collected, and this action on the part of
the treasurer is in distinct violation of
that law. Should the law be declared
unconstitutional and the taxes ordered
refunded, no recourse could be had upon
the treasurer personally if the money
passed from his hands in strict conformi-
/ ty to the law. His action, in this case, is
probably. based upon that of the treas
urer of Wayne county, where over $780,
900 is held in the same manner. Act No.
13l of the last session makes it penal
offense for such officers to use any of
these funds for their own benefit, or lend
them to others without legal authority,
or for any pecuniary or valuable consid-
Grafton.
An appeal case from the Superior
Court of Detroit has been entered for
trial at the October term of the Supreme
Court to test the constitutionality of
this law. The state will be represented
by Attorney General Smith, and by Prof.
c.. A. Kent, who has been specially re-
tanned by the state. ---,-s-

The Catholic Festival,

The ladies' of the Catholic Church have
been busy during the past week in max
ing the necessary arrangements for their
festival, which occurs ON Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday evenings of
next week. 1t is to be hoped that the
festival will be literally patronized by
all, as the church is in much need of
funds to forward its completion, The
disposition of forty acres of land by raf-
file will doubtless be attended with much
interest, and large number of tickets
will undoubtedly be sold, for somebody
will secure the farm for So, chance that
does not occur very frequently. There
will doubtless be other attractions of
fered, for the festival is in the hands of
ladies who will leave nothing undOne
which will add to the interest of the oc-

Thew Read the Tribune and Came.

We were told by one of the parties
accompanying the late excursion from
Northern Indiana to Mackinaw and Che
boygan that it was through the interest
created regarding this country by reading
the NoRTHERN TRIBUNE that caused the
excursion to be arranged for. Owing to
the heavy storm only a portion of those
intending to visit this place came fur
Their than Mackinaw. All who came here.
however, were greatly pleased. We are
highly gratified that our efforts to bring
this place and surrounding country to
the favorable notice of people abroad has
been so quickly favored with returns.

Another Bear story.

The readers of the TRIBUNE couple
of weeks since, will recollect the notice
of bear attacking skif upon Crooked
Lake. a short time ago. This time a
young lad, son of. Mr. Baxter, living
near the state road in the vicinity of the
lake is the hero. The boy was on the
lake fishing week or ten days since in a
wooden canoe, his father and another
party being in another boat. The boy
saw something swimming in the lake,
which he first thought to be an otter,
but closer Inspection showed it to be a
large bear. Nothing daunted, he pad
died his canoe near the animal and
thrust his fish spear into the back of his
neck. Then came ''the tug Of war;"
The spear could not be drawn out, there.
fore the boat was drawn rapidly towards
the shore by the wounded and Infatuated
bear, for the boy clung- to the spear
Once the bear turned and tried to get
into the boat, but was fought off. As
soon as was possible, Mr.. Baxter and his
companion came to the boys relief, and
with the aid of the paddles the bear was
finally dispatched, partially from the eff
fects of blows, and partly from being
held under water. The bear was. then
towed- to tie shore and was found to
weigh over two hundred pounds. Since
that time Mr.. Baxter's family have been
enjoying a diet of bears meat Our in
formant ate some of the bear, and says it
was very good. He also states that the
boy, through whose courage the animal
was secured, is quite small and does not
have the appearance Of having sufficient
nerve for such an undertaking. 1t is
thought by some that this is the same
bear whose appearance upon the lake
was previously noticed.
