That Dry Dock.

The necessity for dry dock at this
port has never been more clearly shown
than during the blow this week. The
schooner Grantham, had there teer a
dock here, would have saved very large
bill OF expense, b. sides two or three
days time, for she might have b, ell
tOwed into port and placed in the dock
and had her repairs made while she has
been waiting for the sto.m TO subsiGe, so
as to be tOwed to Port Huron or Detroit
in order 10 go into dock. At Macki-
nav is the schooner Starkey reported i'm
a leaking condition, and in all probable
ity will have 10 be taken to Milwaukee
or some of the lower ports and go into
dry dock to be repaired. Both of these,
had there been dry dock rs this port.
would haye, in. all probability. been
brought here for repairs. Within the
past two months there have been num-
ber of vessels passed this port in leaky
condition and which went into dry dock
at the lower ports, that had there been g
dock here would have stopped at this
port and had their repairs made. The
necessity of dry dock at this point j:
80 apparent that we are firmly convinced
that. there will be one Constructed at nc
distant day. The parties that take hold
of the project first are. the ones who viii

senator Davis, Nightmare.

The Washington correspondent of the
Inter-Ocean says Senator Davis, of West
Virginia, has broken loose again about
Treasury bookkeeping. Fer the last six
years, ever since he has been in the Sen
ate, his nightly rest has been disturbed
by haunting suspicion that the govern
ment is being robbed out of vast sums OF
money bya system OF fictitious book
keeping. He has agitated the matter
again and again, has had it investigated
repeatedly, and has brought before Con-
gressional committees wild-eyed persons
who have asserted that the Secretaries of
the Treasury, from Chase to Sherman,
have stolen millions of dollars from the
government strong box. Already this
session he has introduced his habitual
resolution for another investigation OF
this matter, and the Senate will saye
time and prevent MIR. Davis from be-
coming bowling idiot by carrying out
what he proposes.

to an ice box which had been tumbled
overboari, for the purpose of making il
little more steady. Shortly after p.
NJ. they pulled away, but having no
compass, they were utterly ignorant OF
their course. They guessed, however,
they were headed foR the CanAda shore,

Macks.aaw Startling Discovery in
Fairy Arch.

A correspondent Of The Post and Tri:
bune, from Mackinaw. under date of Oc-
tober Is, says: IA lpcality OH tlis
island known AS the Fairy Arch has re-
Gently made revealat on full of mystery
and perhaps full of crime. This place,
which is well known 10 visitors who have
thoroughly explored our pmantic isle
and visited all Of the points of interest
with which it abeuntls, is, short dis
lance east of the Mission House, and near
TO the rock known as RobInson's Folly.
This arch, as IL Is called, is an opening
extending entirely through the bluff or
hill. at a considerable eleyation above the
water or beach, and until a recent Pc
riod was known to but few of the citi-
zens Of Aackinaw, being concealed by the
trees aud bush. s, and was almost if not
wholly unapproachable from the water
side. A few days since a gentleman
stopping at the Mission House wishing
to visit this place, went there with some
guides. While there one of the guides
discovered what appeared to be human
bone prOtruding from the earth and
stones, and on further examination hu-
man body was discovered, Which proved
to be that of a woman, and from the pO-
sition of parts of the body, it appear ed to
have been doubled up and crowded into
a crevice or opening in the rock, and
covered over with stones and earth. The
earth gradually washed away and par
italy exposed the remains. The person
whose remains were found here is sup
posed to have been murdered, and her
body concealed in this place, entering it
through the opening ut the top of the
hill. Ibis view Is strengthened from the
f.ict that this was not burial place for
either Indians or whites, and not very
long siuce.was secret place, known to
but few of the residents of the island.
It is further believed by many that the
remains are those of stranger visiting
the island. as 10 resident of the island
for long period has mysteriously dis
appeared. These remains were collected
| and are i'm the possession of one OF our
citizens. Time may disclose more with
| regard to them.

The blow which commencedfW ednes-
day afternoon caused large feet of yes,
sells to put back from Lake Huron. All
day Thursday and yesterday there were
between thirty and forty vcssels at an
Choir in the straits. Wednesday night,
about midnight, the schooner Grantham,
with cargo of deals from Muskegan, in
running back struck the bar running out
from light house point and commenced
leaking. Thursday morning she was
towed into Duncan bay by Thompson
Smiths tug Crusader. The captain came
up and made arrangements with Captain
Kirkland, of the Lcviathan, for a steam
pump to pump her out, and for the Le-
viathan to tow her to Port Huron or DE.
troit, where she would 60 into dry dock.
a visit to the GraDtham late Thursday
evening found the Leviathan's crew
busy setting up their pump, and the
schooner with nine or ten feet of water
in her. Some difficulty was experienced
in getting the suction pipe of the pump
down to the bottom Of the hold, ON ac-
count of having to cut down through
the deals to do it; but at the present
writing Friday afternooD everything is
ready, and Captain Kirkland waiting
en the weather to start out.
Thursday noon the mail carrier
brought over word that a schooner with
4 cargo of coal fol Mackinaw, i'm endeav.

The M0cktMoc e Marquette ko1ITO80.
A Marquette correspondent Of the In.
ter-Occan, under date of 10Th inst, says !:
1.-The people OF Marquette have for long
time had in view railroad from this
point to the straits of Mackinac. thus af-
fording direct outlet east, and making
Il competing route with the Northwest
ern. Some years since home company
WAS organized, and the state g.anted it
state lands to the amount of 1.500, 600
acres, situated mainly on the line of the
projected road, and valuable for its pine
and hardwood timber, much of the soil
being susceptible of cultivation. The
distance TO the straits is about loo miles.
On the other side of the straits there are
two lines OF railroad that will gladly ex-
tend their lines to connect with ii, each
now completed to within % or 30 miles
of the straits. These are the Grand Rap.
ids & Indiana, in the interests of the
Pennsylvania Central, and tie Jackson,
Lansing & Saginaw. in the interests OF
the Michigan Central. Bef; re the com
pany could get in "a situation to com.
mence work the panic struck the iron
business, and the project has remained
dol mant until recently, when DIR. D. w
Lamar, of New York. has contracted to
,ake the lands and build the road, pro-
yided he can sell sufficient bonds for the
purpose upon mortgage of the land and
roadway, and make a full beginning .ir
the construction by June l, 1873. This
he is now endeayoring to accomplish
with, it is said, hopeful promise"
