BUYING A COW.

Deacon Smith looked at roan--then

then at the widow-and so through

made every day for week, but the
deacon could net decide which COW he
wanted. At length on Saturday,
when the Widow Jones was in hurry
to get through her baking for Sunday
and had "ever so much to do in the
house" rs all farmers wives and wild

tie impatient. Deacon Smith was as
irresolute rs ever.
"That ERE Downing COW is pretty
cretur," said he, "but"-he stopped to
glance at the widows face, and then
walked around her-not the widow
but the COW.
"The Downing COW 1 knew before
the late Mr.. Jones bought her." Here
he sighed at the illusion to the lato
Mr.. Jones; she sighed, and both
looked at each other. 1t was highly
interesting moment.

speech-the pause was getting awk.

out:

Unhappy Alpena.

In the memorable words of the Alpena
prosecuting attorney, that city seems to
be "drifting into arnica" again. A few
nights ago, after quenehing the fires with
out, the tircmen repaired to a saloon t.
quench the fires within, and afterward
presented TO the Common Council bills
amounting to $40 for "oysters." The
Council allowed the bill but called it ''re-
freshments," or something of that sor t.
The Mayor, however, refused to sign the
bill even in this innocent form, and one
of the fire companies has held an indig-
nation meeting and passed resolutions
denouncing the Mayor in very severe
terms. They seem to thiuk that mali
who don't know that ..oysters'' are a
part Of the necessary outfit of a well-reg-
ulate FIRE department don't know what
liquids are good for, and is, therefore. un-
fit to preside over the destinies of a great
city like Alpena.

Pitt Drake is tramp printer, who has
an affinity but for one thing
on earth, and that is whiskey. Last sum-
mer he worked in the Independent office
in this village; therefore his dissolute
habits are well known to many of our
citizens. Pitt has tramped around the
world until he knows full well how to
turn his misfortunes to profit.
Something over two months ago he
was sent from Detroit to the House OF
Correction for thirty days for drunken
ness. One of his fellow passengers in
the Black Maria was nobby dressed col
ored man named Alexander Jones, whose
term Of sentence was for sixty days,
Upon arriving at that institution each
prisoner dons suit of striped uniform
his own clothes being done up in bun
die with a tag bearing his name attached,
and laid away until the owner calls for
them on his release. One day the assist
ant superintendent rearranged these
bundles and had Pitt Drake assist him.
L
| When brakes term of sentence ex-
pired he was given the wardrobe bearing
his name, and departed. Thirty days
later Jones presented his check at the
baggage-room and received Drake greasy
garments. He repudiated them and de-
manded his own nobby suit. This LED
to the arrest of Drake upon charge O
larceny, after he had been sporting
around i'm Jones' clothes for month. HI
was tried in the police court a few days
since, the deputy superintendent testify
ing that Drake must have changed tin,
tags upon his and Jones' bundles. This
however, Drake denied, but admitted
that he knew mistake had been made
and that he made no effort to rectifv it
The police justice gave him the alterna
tive of paying fine of $l3 within TWEEN
ty-four hours, or going back to his ole
quarters and clothes for sixty days.
As Pitt has not been known to have
cent for several years, there is no doub
about his being enjoying the hospitalitie
of the city of Detroit at the present time

rhe Mackinaw and Marquette Railroad.

The Mackinaw and Marquette Railroad.
At their meeting on the z3d of Febrlla-
ry, the Board of Control declined to ac-
capt the proposition of the company
headed by Capt. Craw to build the Mack
lnaw and Marquette railroad. The Board
took into consideration the manner OF
building the road, their action covering
the following grounds. The guage of
the road was fixed at four feet eight and
a half inches. The rail must not be less
than fifty pounds to the yard, and not
less than 2640 ties | lid to the mile. There
shall also be the proper bitches, bridges,
culverts and guards. They also decided
that the construction should be CON-
mence and continued at each end of the
route, and that bond OF 100000 should
be required with good sureties. The
adoption of these specifications show that
the Board are determined to have the
road properly built, if at all. The CON-
pany completing this road will receive a
land grant of upwards of 100000 acres
of land, but to secure it they must leave
nothing undone OH their part to finish
the enterprise promptly after it is once
commenced. 1t was because Capt. Craw's
proposition did not fully come up tc
some OF the above points that it was re-
jected.

Snow in the Saginaw Region.

For the first time this winter the Sagi-
nav region was visited by a Snow storm
last week. Snow fell to the depth of
from eight to twelve inches. 1t was not
of 4 flrst-rate quality for sleighing. but
every available team was sent to the lum-
Der woods, where they will be worked
day and night. If the SHOW should last
even ten Or twelve days, the indications
are that as much work will be done as
ordinarily in four or five weeks. The
warm sun which has shone here for the
past few days is indicative of anything
but encouragement for the lumbermen
there.

Contracts Let.


State Swamp Land Commissioner Hav-
iland arrived in town yesterday, and last
evening proposals were received for do
ing all the work necessary upon the in
land lakes Improvement, outside of the
dredging, which had previously been
awarded TO Mr.. 0. B. Green, of Chicago.
Proposals were received from David
Smith, Frank Sammons and Dennis Rich
ards. The brush foundation through
Grass lake had been dispensed with
which lessened the aggregate amount OF
the bids. The proposals were all very
close together, there being only two OF
ihrce hundred dollars difference between
the bids, which showed that the propo-
sails were very near rock bottom. That
of Frank Sammons for all the work out
side of the binding timbers and sheet
piling, which aggregated 5000, was the
lowest and was accepted, while that of
David Smith for the furnishing and put
ting binding timbers in place and con
structing sheet piling for 81 eco was &C
cepted. The contract prices are doubtles
JAS low as:the work can be afforded We
congratulate the citizens of this villag,
and section of the state upon the fac
that the completion of this entire work
is now assured at an early day.
