Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1876-10-21

If there is. any subject upon which the
Free Press can publish an article without
using misrepresenia aiions as It's chief ar
gument, we would like to know what it
was. We have this week shown how it
pnrposely ga.bled the extract from the
New York Tribune, to deceive its readers
upon the income relurn OF Samuel j. Til
den. We have shown that it purposely
parades the statement that Gov. Hayes is
a KnOw-Nothing, after it knows the
charges are false. We have shown that
it charges neglect of duty OH the part of
the Secretary of State, when the neglect
was, probably, nearer home. The paper
now comes out and makes charges
against this journal Of publishing state
ments regarding Democratic citizens that
we never made. We shall not take
the time, trouble or space to prove the
the charges false, i'm detail. We are will
ling TO leave the matter to the judgement
of our Democratic readers. The charges
and insnuatiOns are on par with most
of those which we have exposed, and ev-
cry candid Democrat when he reads the
charges, and we hope they will all read
them, will know that they are false, and
condemn the spirit that prompted their
publication.

Death of CIR. Spear.

Mr.. G. II. Spear, a young man who was
quite well known i'm this village, died at
the Spencer House Yesterday. For some
months past he had been living alone
upon some property he had purchased at
Long lake. A few days since he was
found in his house alone and very sick.
He was brought to the village, but the
disease had taken such hold of his sys
TEN that all the efforts of his physician
or the care of friends was unavailing, and
he died as above stated. Could he have
had proper care and medicine when first
taken, probably his life could have been
saved. His father, who is Il professor in
Hamilton college. New York, has been
notified OF the sad event.

Navigation Closed.

The navigation of Indian river is eff
fectually suspended for the season to all
steam crafts of greater draft of water
than the 'Mud Hen," by the sand bar
which has been forming at the mouth of
the Sturgeon. This is virtual blockade
of the stream. Capt. Sammons attempt
ed to 60 up to Indian village Monday,
but found only about two feet and a
half of water on the bar so that passage
was impossible. He therefore was COM
PEELED to turn around and come home.
This will be felt as quite an inconvenience
now for the route as far as it had been
opened had just begun to be appreciated.
Commissioner Haviland will report the
condition Of affairs to the Board of Con-
troll, and it is probable that they will take
some action to relieve the difficulty DUR
ing the winter or spring.

lowing report of the business of the State
Road department. during the fiscal year
ending Sept. Both. 1876: The total num-
Der of miles of roads and bitches put un-
der contract was 6234. These roads,
bitches, and other improvements are To-
Gated in the counties of Antrim, Alpena,
Cheboygan, Emmett, Sanllac, Tuscola,
Presque Isle, Kalkaska, Saginaw. The
total value of the lands appropriated for
these contracts is $73,444 So. During the
year, % miles were built and accepted.
and the total amount paid i'm lands was
$33,705 90. There is now under contract
in various northern counties 7O1S miles
of roads and bitches 10 pay for this
will require $S0,433 7S worth of swamp
lands. One of the most important i'm
prOvements i'm the hands of Commissioners
Haviland is the opening of route for
small steamers from Cheboygan to the
west end of Crooked lake by the way of
er. Crooked lake is but five miles from
Petoskey, the present terminus of the
Grand Rapids & Indiana railroad. There
is another improvement of almost as
great Importance, in Antrim and Kalkas-
ka counties. 1t consists of opening the
narrOws between Elk river and Round
lake, Torch and Clam rivers, at the con-
fluence of the latter with Torch lake.
The improvement will be made by dredg-
ing, cutting NEW channels, and protect
ing them by artificial means. These
two improvements will be a great ad-
vantage to the settlers in getting out
wood and produce, as large extent of
country will be opened to outside mar
kets. The following table shows the
amount of lands and the improvements
for which they are reserved, in acres and

\ u. markable Discovery In Florida.

one of the largest on the river, and has ex.

wall was cemented, and ornamcnted with va
