The climate of Northern Michigan

The general impression of the outside
world in regard to- the climate OF this sec-
ton is that this is kind of north pole
region, where we have nine months win.
ter and cold weather the remainder''of the
year, That this is mistaken idea, those
who reside here well know, but for the
benefit of those readers of. the TRIBUNE
who live in other sections of the country,
we give the following extract from a
work entitled: 1.-The History, Position,
Resources and Industries Of Michigan =
a work published under the authsrity of
the Governor, iu the interests of emmi-
grafton, and which we noticed some
weeks since. 1t says ''that the most cx-
cessive cold at Mackinaw, for period of
IS years, is not, on the average, greater
than at Fort Riley, $50 miles further
south. 1t is one degree less than at Chi
cago for a term of eleven years. 1t is but
ten degrees lower than the extreme min
imum of st. Louis. Extreme weather at
Chicago is twelve degrees lower than at
New Buffalo. The lowest extreme of
Milwaukee is fourteen degrees below the
extreme minimum of Grand Haven,
while the extreme at Fort Howard is
below that of NOrthpOrt. In general,
while the extreme minimum along the
| west side is 16 degrees, that along the
east side is degrees; while the extreme
minimum of the west side is % to 30 de-
grees, that of the east side is 10 to 1G
degrees. 1t is proper to direct attention
to the important bearing of these ad-
ditlonal facts upon the results of soil cul-
| tivatiOn. 1t will be remembered that If
is not the severity of the winter mean.
| but that of the winter extremes which
conditions the immunity of exotic plants
from destructive frost. One killing freeze

cnworth, or Peoria, or even at ST. Louis,
| us ut Mackinac or ChcbOyTan.

MacIkinaw's Celebration of the
Fourth.

The citizens of Mackinaw carried out
their arrangements for celebrating the
Fourth successfully. The village was
properly adorned with the stars and
stripes, banners, cvergreens, &c. At 1O
o'clock the procession formed at the ring
ing of the court house bell, and proceed
ed to the grounds selected for holding
the exercises. Here large stand had
been erected, with an extensive platform
i'm front of it for the accommodation OF
the dancers. Shortly after the arrival at
the grounds it commenced raining. and
for few moments it seemed as though
the rain would prevent the due celebra-
ton of the day but the shower was soon
over, and about noon the exercises COM
menced. Rev. Mr. StoniX opening with
prayer; the Glee club following with
Whitticr's Centennial hymn. which they
rendered in Il very satisfactory manner.
Lieut.. Webster then read the Dcclara-
ton of independence in very forcible
manner, after which The Glec club sang
"Red, White and Blue" This WAS fol-
lowed 10y the Grafton, delivered by james
j. Brown, Esq, OF this village.
1t was one of Mi. BroHn's best efforts.
and those present were highly pleased,
and words of commentator and praise
were heard on al sides.
The Grafton was followed by Il very
interesting and well written history OF
Mackinaw county, read by the historian
of The day, Rev. Mr.. Stonix.
The history of that county is full OF
Interesting events, and. these the listori-
an had condci>ed in a very concise and
instructive shape, and doubtless many
learned from his reading of the same
much that they had not known before
The reading of the history closed the ex-
el cises proper at the stand, and tho
throng scattered over. the beautiful
grounds in groups, AMI enjoyed Il gcner

Owing to circumstances unnecessary to
mention, Mrs. farley has concluded to
postpone her visitto Cheboygan for some
weeks. The committee in charge of the
different sections of the entertainment
have arranged programme which will
occupy the full time each evening, and
after due consideration it has been deem
ed best to have Mrs. farley postpone her
visit. The entertainment now will con-
sist entirely of home talent, and will be
worthy of the patronage of all.

Accidents.

Yesterday a sailor on the schooner
Mary Merritt received severe cut in the
abdomen from an axe which flew off the
handle while being used on board of that
vessel. 1t cut cash 10 inches long, and
came very near severing the temoral ar
terry. DIR. Gerow was.ca1led, and dressed
and sewed up the, wound, and the man
will probably speedily recover.
Last Thursday sailor at work on the
schooner Manzauilla, loading timber, in
some manner got his fingers caught in
one of the blocks, and had them badly
twisted and bruised up. DIR. Gerow
dressed them and Strengthened them out
for him, but he will likely have a sore
hand for some days.

Yesterday morning man who had
been temporarily employed OH the Le-
viathan as fireman was arrested for dis
orderly conduct and taken before Justice
Sutton, and, OH being found guilty, was
sentenced to pay il fine and costs. He
represented tothe Sheriff that the captain
OF the Leviathan was owing him, and by
going down to the tug he could get the
necessary amount of currency to pay the
fine.
The Sheriff, to accommodate him. ac-
companled him down to the boat. There
the prisoner intimated that he did not
wish the captain to know of his being al
rested, as he would lose his place and re-
quested the officer TO wait on the dock
while he went OH board and rot the
money. This the Sheriff kindly consent
ed to do.' The man went aboard, and in
stead OF applying for money to pay his
fine, he made his wav TO the
stern of the boat and jumped off and
struck out to swim across the river. thus
making bold strike to gain his liberty.
but the current carried him out to the
mouth of the river, where he managed TO

couple of men to take boat and 90 and
secure the prisoner. -
They started to do so, but upon reach
ing the man and getting him into the
boat, he seized:an oar and compelled them
by threats to take him across the river TO
the other shore-which he had no sooner
reached than he struck out on foot for
dear life, and experienced considerable
difficulty in making his way through the
wet and swampy ground. Upto the pres
ent writing he has not been recaptured.

New CIlil,lneys.

The building of brick chimneys has
been very fashionable during the past
week or two. They are not built because
the owners of the buildings very strong
ly desired to do so, but because the vii

should be used i'm the place of chimneys.
The village marshal notified all who pos

Murder on the Little Laramie.

Last Saturday afternoon a bloody
tragedy occurred on the Little Lar
anne river, about twenty miles from
Laramie City, resulting in the in
slant death of Albert Curtis. The
murderer's name is Chandler, and he
was employed by Larkin & Rand,
who own extensive ranches on the
Laramie Plains.
W. have been unable to obtain
any details of the affair farther than
that it grew out of the fact that a
flock of sheep which Curtis. was herd
ing strayed upon a meadow belong
ing to Larkin & Rand, and Chand-
Ter told Curtis that if the sheep again
invaded the premises he would shoot
him. 1t seems hat the sheep did
again wander into the meadow, and
Chandler fulfilled his threat, shoot
ing Curtis through the body with the
result above stated.
The deceased was a son OF Judge
Curtis, of Ashland, Ohio. lie was a
young man of great promise. a grad
uate Of Michigan university, and be-
loved and respected by all who knew
him. His death will be a terrible
blow to his parents. His body was
brought into Laramie City Sunday
morning.
At last accounts the murderer had
not been captured, but a party of a
dozen well armed men were on his
trail and he cannot escape. He will
probably stretch hemp under the au-
spices of Judge Lynch when caught.

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.


The fourth Of JEiy Ia Ihe HaGie cay
The various completes on the
celebration having nearly completed
the arrangements for the grand fes-
t~iyities of the anniversary of our
natal day, we this morning publish
the programme as arranged. 1t is a
good one and We expect that all
Cheyenne, together with hundreds of
our friends from the ranches and viii
lagos within easy distance of here,
Will attend and witness the carrying
out of the same. In fact we tender a
cordial invitation to the entire coun-
try, but we do not expect it to be ac-
cepted, as hal would sadly interfere
with the great Worlds Fair at Phila-
delphia, and we wouldn't mar the
success of that gigantic national blow
out for a mint of money.
In addition to the programme an
nounced there will undoubtedly be
added the usual procession of Cali
thumpians, who will make Madame
Chaos hide her head in shame with
their grotesque costumes and OUTLAW
dish music.

mark. His wound is dangerous. if
not fatal. Sitting Bull now discoy-
cred the advance of Mills and Moves
on the village. At least so warriors
and 100 of their ponies lay dead
along the ridges. The number of
wounded embarrassed the Indian
chief. He had most of the killed and
all of the injured strapped to horses
and carried off.
The Sioux then broke and ran in a
northwesterly direction, but despite
all their efforts the Snakes and Crows
took IL scalps. Information reached
Crook that the Indian village was de-
serted, and he Immediately sent Capt.
Nickerson, of the staff, to counter
march. This was done very reluc-
family. The command faced south
ward C more. Sitting Bull fought
to cover the retreat of his women and
children, which was rapidly accom-
plished. He also hoped to beat
Crook in open fight, but the com
mand slept on the field of battle.
Our ammunition was failing, our
rations nearly out. The Indians
could not then be surprised, SO it was
decided to rely on our base of sup
plies and recuperate. Gen. Crook is
now satisfied that the Sioux can and
will fight.
They + better armed than his
own soldiers. OF the latter it must
be said that Drawer men never faced
an enemy. They would charge the
Sioux to the gates of hell had they
been allowed.
