have been wondering whether next
fall we shall remember what nuisance
it was all winter to be without sidewalks,
and especially the slush and mud We
have been wading through during the
last few weeks, and whether our village
Trustees will make a note of this, and see
that next winter snOw-plow shall be
procured and the contract let for having
it used. have been wondering whether
it will be remembered next year that
this spring, instead of peoples, we
only had Democratic caucus, and that
our Democratic paper boosted that all the
nominees were straight Democrats. 1
have been wondering how much longer
we are to be without a library, or at least
a reading room. If fines for misconduct
cannot go in that direction. gI wonder
whether it would not be to the best inter-
ests of the Improvement association to
rent room and place ON file some of the
principal papers, as, l believe. this would
give it a cOnspicuity it might not Obtain
otherwise. l have been wondering
whether if the Supervisors cannot see the
way to obtain new Jail, they had not
better meet and resolve. as see they
have done elsewhere, that new Jail be
built from the material in the old one,
and pass an amendment, that the old Jail
shall remain until the new one is built.

NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY, APRIL %, 1876.
Arrival of the st. Joseph.

Everybody is happy. The question
as to when our first boat would arrive
has been decided. 1t was generally
known that the ST.. Joe. was announced
to leave Detroit last Monday night for
this port, and from that time forward,
until her arrival. our obliging telegraph
operator, Chas. w. Farr, was almost
overwhelmed with queries as to her pro-
gress. Becoming exhausted in answer
ing the solicitous public he conceived
the idea of placing the Information re-
ceived of her from time to time on a bull
letin board, so that all could read, and
thus relieve him.
The last announcement was Thursday
morning. that she had left Rogers City
at o'clock that morning and would
reach here about 1l:30 A. NJ. This be-
coming known, everybody was OH the
lookout for her. Promptly on time she
put i'm her appearance, and her progress
through the belt of ice, that closed our
harbor, was anxiously watched; but she
found no difficulty in making her way
through it, and by II NJ. she was safely
at the dock of Humphrey & McAulay;
where, Notwithstanding tie heavy rain
prevailing at the time, Il very large num-
ber of our citizeIs were on hand to well
come her. She brought very large
amour. of freight, all of our merchants
lt,ving more or less of consignment of
merchandise.
The following is list of her officers:
Captain, III. Fall; first mate. Will
Walker; second mate, Mr.. Beech; first
engineer, Mr.. McKitterick; second en-
gineer, Mr.. Travis; stewart. Ed. Till,
clerk, j. Reed.
! She remained in the river until Friday
morning, when she started out on her re-
turn trip, expecting to touch at Detour
to land the captain and crew of the pro-
peller City of Fremont, who were on
board. During the night the ice in the
straits had settled down from the west
ward, and the wind being from that di-
rection, the ice forced the st. Joe on the
east bank of the channel, so that she had
considerable difficulty in getting out ;
but she succeeded i'm clearing the ice
shortly after Z o'clock and went on her
way rejoicing, and from this time for
ward will make her trips to and from
this port with some degree of regularity.
So that we can safely say we are out of
the icy bands that have bound us for so
many months past.

On Thursday of last week occurred one
of the saddest accidents it has ever been
our duty as journalist to record, and IS
another warning thlt loaded revolvers
are dangerous things to have about the
house. On that day a little five-year old
SON of. Enos Cobena, who lives near In
dian Village, picked up revolver which
was i'm the hou.e and i'm some manner the
little fellow discharged it and he was
shot dead. The boy was one OF more
than ordinary intelligence. The parents
are grief-stricken over the terrible death
of their little one, and Rave the sympa-
of the entire community.

MEN I MEET.
BY r. ID.

If could, would like to give you Q
pen and ink portrait of man meet al
most daily. You will find him in almost
any place i'm the county where the citi-
zens generally believe in the village. and
are alive to Improvements having ten
dency to affect its growth.
Although he is generally fine looking
and an agreeable companion, yet he car
riesan expression upon his face which
invOluntarily conveys to my mind the
fact that he is always looking Oh the
dark side of anything.
Six months ago, ina conversation with
him in regard to inland navigation,
found that he had no faith i'm it all. and
he gave me his opinion freely that il
would never amount to anything, be-
cause the state would never give any
swamp land for so wild scheme. Said
he: ilEe
"YOu will never get the Board of Con
troll to even look at itr'
had ordered the survey. Said he:
"It is OF no use to spend money for a
survey. 1t will cost so much to do the
work that they will not undertake it."
met him after the award was made by
the Board of Control, and said he again
cit is of no use. The whole thing is
got up in the interest of ring and
that ring is sure to get the contract iOr
doing the work )" and, looking very wise
at me, he continued: "After all, doubt
very much if you can find any one at all
that will have anything to dO with the
job at any figures" zl5t
met him again after the contract was
let for doing the work. d8I
"Well," said he, IL see We are likely to
have the river improvement after all; but
who is there that will be foolish enough
to put a boat or boats on the route, dc
you think, for the few passengers that
will probably pass this way during the
months of July and Augusta"
As could not give favorable answer
to this question, he went on to say.
81 think it will be some time before
you see any daily line, as you call it
running from ChebOygan to the railroad
and you will be a longer time in finding
the man or company that will spend
their money as foOlishly as that"
1 would not wish to convey the idea
that this man is opposed to those inn
provements. On the contrary, he is en-
tirely and whollyin favor of them';i and
apparently, is as anxious for the growth
and prosperity OF the village as any one
can be /; but he has the chronic habit ol
looking upon the dark side of every
thing. If he goes at Job Oh his own
account, he doubts whether he will ever
accomplish it; if he should succeed in
it, he doubts if he will make any money
at it; if he should come out ahead, he
will doubt whether the money will ever
do him any good, for he will doubt his
ability to keep it. He is sure he will lost
it in the next job he undertakes.
His whole life is doubt, so have
named this man Sir Doubtful. Although
he would be glad to have the prosperity
of the village established, yet his habit o.
looking on the dark side of everything
has its effect--which is nothing more OF
less than to throw cold water upon every
effort to promote the growth and pros
perity of the village. IL 1ae

Ccntenniallslns.

We copy the following from the De-
tloit Post, of last Tuesday, as partial
showing of how Michigan will be rep
resented at the Centennial:
"The public buildings Of the state will
be represented at the Centennial by fine
large views of the capitol at Lansing, the
new, insane asylum at Pontiac, the
new state House of Correction at Ionia,
and the state public school at Coldwater.
These views are the elaborate prospec-
tives of the several buildings mentioned,
drawn by the architects. They are now
being appropriately framed in this city.
Secretary Noble yesterday received an
offer from Mr.. Colby, leading lumber
man at Ionia, to send Michigan lurnber
sleigh. This will be one - the irnmense
"bobs" on which the logs are hauled on,
OF the pineries. 1t will be loaded with
six huge logs, showing the manner OF
loading and operating. 1t will certainly
be curiosity to our eastern cousins.
Farmers are now sending in grain and
seeds daily, but this department will not
be as fully represented by Michigan pro.
ducts as it ought to be. We tear our
mining and manufacturing exhibits there
vii! eclipse the agricultural.
Mr. A. Landsberg, Of the firm of L.
Black & Co, left for Philadelphia las,
evening. The firrl Will open store a,
72O Arch street, in that city, and will also
be large exhibitors at the Centennial
Mr.. Landsberg will remain there ir
charge of the business during the sum

A Ridiculous Ending of a Tragic Attempt.
Not long since young man of our
neighboring village of Mackinaw-if a
report from that village is true-feeling
that congenial mate would add very
much to his happiness while on this
sphere, began looking around for a young
lady "just suited to his mind," and was
not long in finding one to whom he was
willing to join for veal or woe. He
plucked up courage and proposed but
it always takes two to make a bargain.
She did not rcciprocate, and the result
was decided negative to the PROPOSE
ton. But, he being of romantic turn
of mind, after pondering over the matter
for several days, and recalling the old
adage, '.faint heart never won fair lady,
he resolved to make another assault on
the citadel of the aforesaid young lady's
affections. Accordingly, last Saturday
night, he proceeded to storm the said
citadel, and again proposed; but she was
of the same opinion still, and gave him a
more emphatic mo" than before. Think
ing, no doubt, to frighten her, and cause
her to relent, he produced a small vial,
and, taking a tragic attitude, he proceed
ed to upbraid her for refusing his suit
ending by swallowing the .contents-hy-
drocyanate of cold tea; but the young
lady being of practical turn of mind.
and not at all romantic, seized him by
the collar, and rushed him in the kitchen,
and, calling her ma to her aid, they
dosed him pretty thoroughly with warm
water and mustard. The young lady
then proceeded to examine the vial to as
certain what it had contained; when,
upon finding that cold tea was all, her
pity and compassion fled, and her ire was
aroused; and our informant says the
first thing the young man realized he
was cleaving the air, accompanied by his
hat and Overcoat; and it is question
undecided which struck the ground first.
However, the young man is satisfied that
his hopes are forever blasted in that quar-.
ter, and says the next time he proposes
it will be to woman with more heart and
less muscle. ~'s -

A Dead Owl.


In the early part of the week some
men employed by Bullen & Nelson, at
their mill, while engaged in cleaning out
the boilers, preparatory to starting up
the mill, discovered the body of a de-
funct, large white owl in one of the boil
ers. 1t is supposed that sometime dur
ing the past winter the bird must have
chose the top of the smoke stack as a
roosting perch, and while i'm a sOmnolent
state fell down the stack and. Of course,
was. not able to get out again. The bird
was found in the back end of the boiler,
showing that it evidently ad:endeavOr-
ed to find place of exit, but it was sc
curely imprisoned, and its death from
starvation was only question of time.
