Mr.. Geo. r. Stuntz returned to
Duluth last weel from three
months surveying job down the
North Shore, twenty miles back
from the lake near Pigeon river.
He found twenty inches OF snow
Oct. 27th, and four feet when he
left.
The unkindest cut of all, is for
Duluth to take the Moore family
from Superior. Mrs. Moore's music
scholars have required so much OF
her time lately, that temporary
residence there has been thought
advisable, and the family moved
over on Monday last.
Hon. Peter Doyle, Secretary of
State, has our thanks for a copy of
his report. From it we leprn that

can be persuaded to furnish us a

commences are not marked tardy.

ference In time pieces.
