the wharf was heard all day, while
aboard the boat the engineer and
assistants were busy furnishing the
machinery, the clerks were check
ing freight and assigning rooms to
passengers, and Capt. g. w. Nc
Gregor was omnipresent.
At last, about eight o'clock in
the evening, after about one hun
dred and sixty tons Of miscellaneous
freight had been slowed away and
about thirty passengers were on
board, Capt. McGregor announced
that his boat was ready to put off,
but that he must wait until 10
o'clock, the advertised time Of de-
parture. A number of gentlemen
accepted an invitation to inspect
the boat before she left and found
her in every particular desirable
craft on which to take passage.
She is new boat; her engines are
powerful and have all modern steam
saving appliances; her boilers bear
certificates Of the inspectors, who
pronounce them perfect; her cab
ins are elegantly fitted and pleas
ant; the state rooms are large and
furnished with taste and with a
view to comfort, and, to cap all,
her officers are careful, competent
and enerjetic.
Ten o'clock came, and, with it
Capt. McGregor gave orders to
"haul in the gang-planlks and let
go the lines" and a few minutes
after the first boat of the season
steamed up the river, the captain
shouting as he went along; 81
know there's lots of ice, but I've
started and / don't como back I'M
til make my trip!"-Free Press.
1t is needless to state that Capt.
McGregor failed to make the en-
tire trip; nevertheless, he has gone
back. The Bertschy appeared off
the bay on Tuesday of last week, but
the ice was two heavy to admit of
boat passing through it, so she
returned to Tawas, unloaded her
freight, took on a cargo of shingles
and went back to Detroit.

A Good Move.

We notice q subscription has
deem started by fire engine COM
pany No. l for the purpose of pro-
curing a new uniform, consisting
of fire-hat, belt and shirts. We
are pleased to record that our cit
liens are subscribing literally
toward this object, and that they
are glad to thus show their appre-
citation of the services Of this com
pany. The company was organ
lied in 1871, and has since rendered
valuable service. Tho members
have always been prompt to an
swer every call made upon them,
and with their noble engine have
saved our citizens thousands of
dollars in property. They have
never made demand on the city for
a cent other than such repairs as
were needed for their apparatus.
There first uniforms were purchas-
ed by themselves and our citizens
have never been before solicited
for aid.
We trust our citizens will sub
scribe sufficient to purchase acom-
plete outfit, so that at its fifth
annual parade on July 4th, this
company may feel that the citizens
appreciate its efforts, and may be
encouraged to greater exertions in
the future. Their engine and cart
are at present out of service, under
going repairs. This has been the
first expense the city has been
called upon to pay in the way of
repairs, such is the care bestowed
on "Sahgonahkato" by the COM
pany, and when again in action,
our citizens can hear above the
clang of bells and the cries of ex-
cited men, the steady puff of Sa-
gonahkato at work. Then will hope
dispel doubts and fears, and, they
will feel proud Of these volunteer
citizens who are ever ready to do
battle for our city against the fire
fiend. 80

FIRE.-About ten CLOCK last Fri
day evening, q dwelling At the cor
ner of Fifth and Chisholm streets,
owned and occupied by Michael
Conway, took fire from defective
chimney, and was completely de-
stroyed, together with all the fur
niture iuthe second story. AT Che
time of the fire strong west wind
was blowing, and the flames in
creased very rapidly till No. 2 en-
CINE arrived and commenced oper-
atoms, when the fire was soon con-
quered. The engine did good SER
vice. No. l engine being undergo
ing repairs could not be taken out.
Mr.. Conway's loss on house and
goods is probably about $500. The
insurance amounts to $500
ANoTHER.-Between 10 and IL
o'clock on Sunday night the resi-
dence of Thos. Hooley, on Chish-
ohm street, near the brewery, took
fire and was entirely consumed,
together with a portion of the con-
tents. Mr.. Hooley was badly
burned while attempting to save
some of the furniture. Loss about
$500, with no insurance.. tl - -

No More Proceedings.

We are unable to inform our
readers this week what business
was really transacted by the city
fathers last Monday night, but our
"devil" informs US that something
like the following was passed, which
needs no explanation to at once
convince the sensible reader that
there is something wrong some
where.
BY Aldermen Gillett and Rice,
ResOjced, That from and after this date
nothing shall be paid by the city for
publishing the Council proceedings.
Ayes-Aldermen Gilett, Healy, Rice,
Richardson and Timms. No-Aldcr-
man Shcahy. 80 "a
What the object of the Council
can be in passing such resolution
we are unable to state, unless they
contemplate enacting something
they do not desire to have appear
in print before the public. 1t sure
ly cannot be with q view of cutting
down expenses, for the proceedings
of that body for the last year,
aside from official reports, etc, will
not exceed one hundred and fifty
dollars. What a sum to think of
cutting down! But then, the pre-
sent Council propose to go in for
economy, and they commence with
virtually refusing TO have their pro-
ceedings made public, thus depriv-
ing hundreds of our taxpayers
from knowing what the city Off
Gals are doing with the peoples
money. Think of it, reader; one
hundred and fifty dollars year,
and the proceedings published in
both papers at that.

Two weeks since we published
an item in regard to the cornet
band which has been organized by
some of the young men of this city,
and recommended that our citizens
lend helping hand to the boys,
for the purpose Of purchasing O
new set of instruments, that we
might reap the benefits of the mu-
steal talent in our midst. But the
down town organ does not'seem to
favor such o movement, and casts
slur at the idea of supporting a
band; but this is not to be wonder
ed at, as that sheet was never
known to say an encouraging word
in regard to anything at home, but
seems to have a chronic desire to
underrate and discourage any and
every, attempt at home enterprise.
AS we understand the matter, this
new band has nothing to do with
the old one, and it was not the in-
tention Of the boys to ask any one
for assistance, bat to place oil their
earnings, as a band, in the bank,
for the purpose of buying instru-
ments. All that has been given
them, was given Voluntarily, and in
our opinion, it is money wei and
apprcciaiinsly loaned, arE1

A BAD BREAK.-During last
week the largo amount of water
rushing down the box drain in the
rear of Bolton & McRae's block,
carried away a portion of the box,
letting the water into the cellars of
the above firm, and undermining
the rear wall of the structure to
such an extent that the wall settled
on Friday night about eight inches,
making large cracks in the rear
wall of the store occupied by j. H..
Fletcher & Co. Saturday large
gang of men were set at work to
shut of the water and repair the
damage, the cost Of which will pro-
baby not fall short Of 5000. So
much for q worthless box drain.
