From the Minnesotian- Herald, April %.
The City of Duluth, Capt.
John Mckay, left Detroit April 25 for Du
| luth.
The Peerless, Capt. Mcintyre,
leaves Chicago next Monday for our port
u. B. Fewson has sold out his
interest in the firm of McLaren & Co., &c
| Martyr Wheeler, and does not worry himself
as to whether the price of fish is up OIL
down.
p. Fewson has sold out his
harness business to the man from whom he
bought it, E. R. Jefferson, who will be founc
at his shop, corner of Lake avenue and Morse
street, Minnesota Point
The drift-wood across the St.
Louis river above Knife Falls, broke away
April %, and coming down through the
Dales, carried away the old foot bridge
across the river at Thomson and lies scatter
ed along the river.
DR.. S. S. Walbank and George
R. Suntz have completed laboratory in
the basement of the Dr.s drug store, with
the intention of making chemical assays OF
ores or any other matter brought to their
notice.
1t is rumored, and with appar-
ent good foundation, that there viii be nc
lacking for boats the coming season. We
| learn that the several lines of boats will be
as follows American boats-Ward's line,
Buffalo, 7; Union line Buffalo, 5; North
|
| line, Leopold l. Austrian, Chicago, 3; Spen
GERS line, Chicago, 2. Canadian boats
Beattys ne, SarEia, s.; Collngwood line, 3
will be, in addition to these, in the neighbour
hood of IS transient vessels, and from Du
luth in all feet of 81 vessels sailing to and
from this port.
From the Tribune, April %.
We wonder If Duluth will ever
have cemetery.
We see that the saloons around
town are being painted up and whitewashed
or calsomined, but our churches, we believe
are to be left untouched.
We hear that r. II. MorfOrd is
to remove from the London Addition and
occupy the house formerly owned by Mr.. Pot
ter On Ashtubula Heights.
In case ex-Gov. G.. X. Davis
friends in this district should trot him out for
congress, what effect would it have upon the
prospects of some of the venerable and an
| cient gentlemen who are aspirants for that
position Eth?
We presume that but few per.
sons have any idea Of the amount Of expor-
| ing that is now going on between the north
shore of the lake and the British possessions
| Some have iron On the braiu, some copper
and some, silver.
w understand that the wife and
Younger children of the late Sixtus Hoffman
| ST., are to remove to St. Paul to reside with
Mrs. H. S brother, but that Sixtus Hoffman
Jr., will go down the lake.
STATE CONVENTION OF THE TUR-
NERs.-We learn that the annual State Con
ventiOn Of the Turner's is this year to be hel(
in Duluth-on Monday the 9Th day of May
The Turner's from the other parts Of tn,
state will arrive here on Saturday, the 9th
and on Monday evening, there will be
| grand turning exhibition at the Turner Hal
in this city, which will wind up with ball.
We are informed that Fathel
Geniu went out to Brainerd few days ag,
to accompany that far, a brother priest wh'
is on his way to the field of labor assigned
him in the Arctic regions, where Father Gen
in spent several years.
The next day after he left, as we are in
formed, a Mrs. Cleary spirited away anC
took to St. Paul, it is said, three orphan
children that were placed in Father Genin'
care by their dying mother some two or three
years ago. Father Genin was informed OF
the matter by Telegraph, and it is quite likely
| that he has gone down to St. Paul to reclaim
| the captives. We hear that Father Genir
and Mrs. C.eary are not friends but we know
nothing further of the case.
We regret to hear that a tele
gram came few days ago to Dr. Mahan, The
Indian Agent at bayfield,, from his wife. who
has been spending the winter in southern
Ohio, ating that their only child, aged per
haps near two years, was not expected tt
| live. The telegram was sent over to Superior
we believe, to Vincent Roy, who we hear
dispatched an Indian with it to BAYFIELD,; but a
the roads are now in bad condition, it i
probable he will not think it at all possible t,
reach his wife, even in time to attend thei
little ones funeral, in case it may have con
tnued to grow worse. We would fain hope
however, that the Doctor may be spared tn,
bereavement which the above mentioned tel
egram rendered probable.
AS it is absolutely impossible
for the great mass of taxpayers of this city
to pay their real estate taxes either for las
year, or this year, of course the school funC
is very low. In fact we understand tina
"the bottom dollar" is now visible to thu
naked eye" Such being the case, we under
stand that the probability is that our public
schools viii be cut month short and Close
about the last of May, instead of the last o
June, as contempla ed. With every othe
department of the county and city bankrupt
it is certainly to be hoped that our schoo
orders at least, will be kept at par. When
ever that cannot be done, let the schools stop
for to continue them unless able TO pay as we
go, would only make trouble and embarrass
ment by and by.
CoPPER-This subject has been
commented npon more during the past week
than ever before. Some little work has been
| done since our last issue, but not much-at
| least nothing like thorough test has been
| made. Father Genin has been absent for
/ some days, but he left the work in the hands
OF Frank Lawler, who processes to still have
