NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY, AUGUSP a6, 1876.


The Detroit Post of the 18th says: ''One
of the arrivals at this port yesterday was
that of q man named James II. Gay, who
started TO row from Boston to this city,
on wager of $4,000, made between two
Boston men 100 days ago, he to receive
$500 if reaching this city in four months.
The trip, which has been occasionally
spoken of in some Of the country papers
along the route, covered distance of
something less than 1000 miles, pi0 the
Atlantic coast of Maine, Gulf of st.
Lawrence, the lakes, and their connec-
tions to this point. The time allowed
him being 120 days, the limit necessitated
but a speed of 131 miles per day-a very
moderate rate when one takes into con-
<ideration that O'Leary makes 81 miles
i'm the same time, the fearful Weston 90
miles, the irrepressible Sergeant Bates 80
miles, and Captain Webb .swims % miles
in half the time. Gay. who is ahead Of
his time eleven days, is short, thick-set
man, with an extremely flOrid counten-
ance and heavy, full face. He is a native
IF Keene, n. H., and has spent most of
his life on the water, so that the exertiOn,
if such it was, came very natural to him.
He has probably had an easier time while
attempting to win his prize than when
pursuing his usual vocation, the only
mishap he has suffered being the cap
sizing of his skilf by the swell of a
steamer WHOM about five miles from Porte
land, Me. He was provided with an
ample supply of provisions, but had
leisure enough to enjoy the farmer hos
pitality along the line of his row. Gay
himself states that he had no very dan
gerous adventures, but that his voyage
was almost monotOnOus i'm its freedom
from stirring incident. His boat, which
weighs but l60 pounds, served as roof
nights when too remote from dwellings
to enjoy their security. Altogether the
trip seems to have been one which a man
enured to exposure and with powerful
physique like that of Gay would consid
er pastime rather than labor, especial

finish. The River Navy has rendered
him a ride in one of its barges for this
evening, and it is understood he will &c

Slightly i'm Error.

The Adrian Times, in giving an account
of the camp meeting ground as derived
from parties visiting there, after
describing its numerous advantages and
beauties, says in relations to the routes. of
the grpuhds: f'Besides these,
there is chain of lakes extending from
Cheboygan to Little Traverse bay, con-
nected by channels and streams which
the United States government is enlarging
and dredging, and which will be open to
steamboat navigation at mo distant day.
These waters come within q mile of the
association grounds, and within two miles
of the stand..:' IThisis allcorrect enough
with the exception that it is not the
United States government that is making
the improvement, but the state of Michi-
gan. That this important, Improvement
will be appreciated by visitors to Macki-
nav and the camp meeting grounds next
season we have no doubt. We have al

visited the locality and witnessed the inn

Death Of Speaker Kerr.

The announcement of the death of Mr..
Kerr had been daily expected for several
days, ter the dispatches indicated that all
hopes of his recovery had been relin-
quished FOR some time. His death
took place near Alum Springs, Va. last
Saturday evening. The Detroit Evening
News says: ''He was born i'm Titusville,
Penn, on the 10Th of March, 1927, and
was, consequently, at the time of his
death. right in the prime of life, being
only forty-nine years of age, At the age
of twenty-tour he graduated. ut the Lou S
vile University, and one year later. in
1852, he set upIlp in the practice of law
ut New Albany, Ind. After only two
years of practice he was city attorney,
and one year later, the county chose him
as prosecuting attorney. Tho next two
years, 1856 and 1857, he served in the
State Legislature. The following five
years he devoted to his profession. but IN
1862 he was chosen reporter of the SUI
ipreme court. He was chosen by the
Third Indiana district to the Thirty
ninth, Fortieth, Forty-first and Forty
second Congress; was defeated as a lcandi-

Assaulted.

Miss Rosa Mansier, residing in Beau
grand, entered complaint against a man
named Battise Gerow, for an alleged as
sault and battery. She claimed that the
man had been annoying her for some
time, and that last Monday it illuminated
in an open and severe attack upon her
person. A warrantwas issued by JUS
tice Sutton for the arrest of the man
Gcrow, and placed in the hands of Dep
Yty Sheriff Mulvaugh OH Tuesday last.
Mr.. Mulvaugh went out through the
drenching rain of Tuesday evening to
where the man lived, and waited there
until early wednesday morning for him
to put in an appearance. but the bird had
evidently flown. 1t is presumed that he
learned of the charge being preferred
against him, and to escape the penalty
fled. We understand kilograms were
sent i'm different directions to intercept
him if possible and it may be that he
may yet be called upon to answer the
charge.
