What strange freaks fortune plays. A
man is apparently at the very top-round OF
success today. while the future seems full
of smiles for him; but the morrow comes,
and the merest accident has changed the
whole aspect of what so recently bid tair to
continae an ovcrt;owing tide of prosperity
But we Didn't intend 10 morslize when we
set down to pen this article. but Tnerely TO
write down an instance of one mans
''luck." On Saturday gentleman came
into our Office and exhibited a splendid
gold watch and chain which he had Just
received. and which he said cost him one
dollar. AS the articles were apparently
worth over $500. we were surprised at tie
remark, ard inquired how if happened
lie informed lis thar about ten years ago
he invested one dollar in lottery or gift
enterprise. and with Others. after the draw
ing, was Informed that he had been uns,se-
eessful-fhat his ticket or number drew Il
blank. 1t seems that shortly after tie
drawing. owing 10 the fact that laws were
passed inimical to gambling enterprises OF
this kind, the affairs of the companies were
wound up. Two of them, in one of which
our friend had Invested his dollar. had been
consolidated, and wien their affairs had
been wound Up, it was found that there
was a surplus OH hand of $47, ,o00-the ac-
euIntliation of prizes that had never been
called for during the existence of the COM
papies A dispute aiose as to who owned
this surplus money. and it was taken to the
courts for decision. The courts decided
that the money belonged to the ticket
holders. and 1t was ordered that those per-
sons who had purchased tickets but had
failed TO receive any return, should now
come Ia and share the money so left i'll tile
hands of the companies. In pursuance
of This order, the money was so expended
as that ut the drawing each ticket-holder
should draw prize, great or small. a
few weeks ago our friend received intor-
nation that he had been one Of the lucky
ones, his number having drawn gold
watch valued at $500. and asking how it
should be sent. And this is how oar
friend happened to obtain a 5000 gold
watch for the small stun of 81 expended
ten years ago.

WHITEFIsH IN THE LAKES OF LAKE

WHITEFIsH IN THE LAKES OF LAKE
CoUNrY.-Our readers will remember
that some time since we mentioned the
fact that Hon. VIM. l.. Webber was
exerting himself to ascertain the d.
mansions and depths of the many lakes
adjacent to the line of the +. Il T.. Nj.
Railway In this county, with view to
securing the deposit within their depths
of quantities of whitcfisl. The meas
urements We're taken, mostly by va
rious township officers, and with sat
isfactory results i'm most cases, and on
Thursday evening last the young fish
arrived, i'm charge, we believe of an
agent of the State Fish Commission.
They were minute creatures, measuring
from quarter to half inch in length,
and were transported i'm large tin cans,
each containing 6, 900 and 10000. About
10000 were left ut Chase, and the same
amount ut FOrman Station. The latter
were equally divided between what are
known as Batchelder's Lake and Twin
Lakes. Cans containing cighty-five
thousand were left ut Baldwin. Thir-
ty-five thousand of this number were
taken by Supervisor Townsend, Of
Weber, and distributed-fivc thou
sand i'm McLaughlin's Lake, about
three-fOurths of mile from Baldwin,
and ten thousand each i'm McCausey's,
Davenport's and TOwnsend's Lakes.
Fifty thousand were taken by Geo. n.
Jones and deposited Star Lake, about
six miles south of Baldwin. Ten thou
sand were taken to Elk township and
deposited i'm what is known rs Kinnc's
Lake. Twenty thousand were con-
veyed to Ludington for deposit in some
of the inland waters of that locality.
If the fish do well, and we see no
reason why they should not, they will
soon afford an almost incXhaustablc
supply of excellent meat. We trust
that every citizen will take an interest
i'm preserving the fish and in seeing
them increase in numbers as rapidly
as possible.
