The tug o. B. Green, after hauling the
dredge to this place, Went to Mackinaw
and coaled for the return trip. She fin
ished about midnight and started out,
but the captain misunderstanding the di-
rections regarding leaving the harbor,
ran hard aground upon the sandy point
of Round Island. She lay there until
daylight, when the government barge
Warrington, which happened to be there,
went out and pulled her of. No dam
age further than the detention was ex-
pericnccd.

rIichigan Newspapcr History.

Mr.. Tom s. Appligate, of the Adrian
Times, has prepared history of the
newspapers of the state for the Centennial,
and limited edition has been published.
1t is quarto volume of Ga pages, well
printed, and bound i'm cloth. 1t contains
a list of all papers in the state, May LIST,
1875. with brief sketches Of the history
of many of them. AS these facts have
never before been collected, the trouble
and difficulty of getting them into
shape must have been very great; but
all difficulties have been overcome, and
the result is an important and useful adj
dition to the history OF the state.

Mr.. j. E. Sherman, the skillful draughts-

Philadelphia, two large maps which show
at single glance the position of the ter

and her growth and prosperity since she

state Senator.

1t seems to be conceded that Mr.. w.
II. C. Mitchell, of Traverse City, the
present State Senator from this district,
will not be candidate for renomina-
ton Mr.. Mitchell has made good Of
ficer, and has done much to advance the
material interests of Northern Michigan.
There seems to be a wide diversity OF
opinion as TO who should take his place,
and as yet public opinion i'll the dis
trict has not settled down with any de-
gree of unanimity upon one. The Char
leyoix Sentinel presents the name OF
of Fitch r. Williams, of Elk Rapids, and
rather puts i'm claim that that portion
of the district is entitled to the position.
We hardly see it in that light. The
northern portion of the district of which
Cheboygan county is part has never
had Senator, while the Grand Traverse
region has for long time. We claim
that should this county present the name
of suitable candidate that it is entitled
to the nomination.

law and subsequently the Committee went into execu-

AfaANY. Jan. l9.--Thc Assembly state Prison
Committee which was charged by the House with
the duty of deciding upon the most effective method
Of investigating the State Prisons, held meeting
to-day for consultation. II WAS thought that the
Committee would be much better able to advise the
House as TO the best mode of an investigation after
learning something of the practical workings of the
prisons. and it was accordingly resolved to pay
visit of examination to the Albany Pcnicntary to-
morrow, and next week. after the rcassembing Of
the legislature, to make a tour pf the State Prisons
themselves To do this resolution of the House
will be necessary. to which the leading Republicans
say there viii probably be no objection.
In case the Committee conclude that n searching
investigation is necessary, Mr. Higgins, Chairman of
the Committee thinks that his Committee sill be IN
favor Of a commission. II is urged in favor Of tho
proposed tour Of preliminary inspection, which VIII
necessarily occupy two weeks and involve the state
in considerable expense, that II will be impossible to
conclude thorough inquiry in time for report to
the present Legislature, aud 4 small expenditure of
time and money now may prevent q costly mistake
At the same timc il is difficult to understand why
there should be any doubt ~ to the need of the most
thorough investigation, when the annual deficit is
800 OJ0. A junketing tour of legislators Is not
likely to disclose any fact of equal gravity.
The members of the Canal Investigating Commis-
son were in town to-day and held some Informal
conference as to their final report. Owing 10 Mr..
Orr's enforced return to Newfork they were unable
10 begin the examinations which it is understood
they will make before closing mp their report.
Owing to the fact that the Commission il required
by law to report to the Legislature at its opening
..l..t .lr
new branches of inquiry but the testimony they
are likely To take is in continuance of their former
Investigations. The report will probably be made
within few days
