LUDINGToN HAKBoR.-A correspon-
dent Of the Detroit Post & Tribune,
writing from Ludington, says:
Noticing recent item in relation to
the harber at this place, allow me to
s " that vessel men all coHcur that the
harbOr ut Ludington Is one Of the best,
if not the very best, OIL the east shore
ofI.ake Michigan. The steamer Nash
ia, Capt. Duddlcson, has made four
trips up to the present date, commence
ing December llth inst, bringing 600
tons of freight for shipment over the
Flint & Pere Marquette Railroad direct
to Europe, via Portland, Me. This
freight Included 80, 900 bushels of wheat
and 500 tons rolling freight, flour, pork,
etc. Capt. Duddleson, on his first en-
trance, made u thorough sounding Of
tile harbor and found, as he states, IL
feet of water. Four steamers of the
Northern Transit Company, under con-
tract with the Flint & Pere Marquette
Railroad Company, are now making
daily trips between this port and Mil
waukee, all laden with wheat and 9TH
cr freight for shipment to Europe. The
steamer De Psre also, plies between
Milwaukee, this port and Manistee,
making regular trips.
The new elevator of the Flint IL Pere
Marquette Railroad Company looks
finely. Two more steamers Of the
same line are to be put on immediate
ly. The management Of the Flint d
Pcre Marquette Railroad Company arc
deserving of great credit for their en-
terprise in thus opening the shortest
and quickest route to the seaboard
from the great wheat producing GEN.
tiers of the Northwest.
Yours respectfully,
III. M. NEwCOMBE,
Deputy Collector Of Customs.
The Government, the past Summer
has done considerable work on this
har bor, extending the piers and dredg
ing the channel, and II Is now In bet
ter condition than ever before.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.
Probability that it will be Extended
next Season Westward couple
Hundred miles.

Gen. I. L. Rosser, city engineer,
and formerly chief engineer OF the
Northern Pacific railroad, prior to
the disastrous failure of JAY Cooke
d Co, has received a request from
President Wright to be present at
a meeting of the officials of the road
to be held Philadelphia the midi
die OF next month TO take into con-
slderation the extension Of the
Northern Pacific westward. The
extension bill it will be remembered,
has already passed the Senate and
been recommended to favorable
consideration in the House, which
body it is hoped viii pass it at All
early day. / is, in all events con-
fidently believed it will pass with
out mach delay, when the company
Will be ready to extend the line
westward 225 miles, which EN-
braces W hat is known as the Yellow
stone division. The surveys bad
been made when the financial crash
came III 1873, the land under this
land grant had all been located,
and the bids for the work of con
structing the line had actually been
opened, but were not awarded be-
canse the managers did not see
their way clear to pay for the con
structlon. Now the company is
said to be entirely free from debt,
thanks to the good management OF
President Wright and his associates,
and Gen. Rosser expresses it as an
opinion that next season will see
the dirt fly along the line. His IA
mIlIarirv with the exact condition
OF affairs at the time Of the CT Sh,
and his having made the surveys is
why his presence is required Al the
meeting. The extension Of he line
must he considered as opening up
10 Minnesota and her cities new
field INTO which to ship her produce
and merchandise, and vigorously
pushed work on the great line must
result in increased business activity.
Il rs only to be hoped .that the con
ference next month may result as

Those of our citizens who were.
not IN church last Sunday were at
traeted by the merry bells and
stylish rig which drove rapidly
down through town and halted at
the residence Of Squire Wheelock.
here a party of three or four gentle
men and as many ladies alighted,
when one handsome yonng couple
sa'd they wante d TO see the Squire

his customary poIiteness invited all
into his parlor He was then in

W. needed no broader hints, so he
proceeded at once TO tie the nnptial
knot, which he did, not forgetting a
single one of the forms OF law and
practice customary III such cases. The
contracting parties were Mr. Daniel
I. Thayer Jr., and Miss Frances
Jane Main OF Duluth. Mr.. Thayer
is local car manager of the railroads
at Duluth, and very excellent
young man. Miss Main is the ac-
compii~hed daughter of A. J. Main
Esq. The TINES wishes the young
couple every joy.
In this connection we wonid
mention that Squire Wheelock in
this case has made the only strictly
legal return, and Deputy Register
Clark the only strictly legal entry,
ever made in this County.

THOUGHTS AND SUBSCRIPTIONS.

Stop crying hard times and ex-
pectlng to live by taxing non-re>l-
dents. Go to work aud develop the
resources of the country, till the soil,
cut the timber, catch the fish. Com
promise the difference Of opinion
as regards the harbor by uniting
with Your opponents upon a new
entry convenient and satisfactory to
all interests. Recover the out
standing bonds of the County, aud
when they are recovered burn them.
Give your best efforts to aid
the extension Of time for the com
p!etion of the Northern Pacific
abroad; write to your Sena ors
and members of Congress aboul
this, and bring to bear upon them
all the influences You can think of.
Ask the Legislature to exempt the
land Of the North Wisconsin Rail
road from taxation for reasonable
period, and to deal III a liberal
spirit with that road. Try to in
due the early commencement of
work on the Wisconsin Central
Railroad between Ashland and
Superior. Use yonr strongest en-
beavers to get q connection by rail
at the Junction with the Northern
Pacific and Lake Superior q Mis-
sissippi Railroads over the State
Line route, but don't oppose the
first connection via. a bridge and
Rice's Point with the railroad at
Duluth; both connections will
be nude in time, and it will really
matter little which Is m de first.
Encourage imm grafton by Offering
to actual settlers yolr llndS at low
prices a,.j on long time. Sell a lot
at a fair price when you find man

With pride the fact is noted
that the circulation of the TINES is
twice as large in Sweden as III

Trains on the Northern Pacific

the whole length of the line, from
Duluth to Bismarck. The Black

ness OF the road is very large.

Statistics procured by the
Government prove conclusively
that Uncle Sans Dominion pays a
