TOWN TALK.


@ ID. Green's dredge is at McArtur
Smiihi& Co.'S dock, being got in rcatli-
for the trip to Sturgeon bay.
From the number.of hsh barrels, being
handled at this port, we should judg.
that tho fishermen were enjoying an ex.
C ediagly successful Season Of fishing. Z
Our farmers pronounce the prospects
for crops very flattcrins. Many have
been busy cutting their grass during the
week, and The yieidaof hay isrFopounect
excellent.
The band was out on the streets last
evening playing to advertise their bene.
fit'atthe Spencer House hall last night
they were highly complimented ON their
playing.
The proposals for the dredging in the
improving. .ot our barber were to be
opered to-day. By oiir next issue we
will probably know who is the success

II. a. Wctmore. EsQ.,re of Concord
Mich, editor of the News or that place,
is in town for a few days visit, the guest
OF his old friend and formergtow1lsman
p. N. Latlrop, Esq.
We understand that F. N. Summons
has made arrangements with Alex. Lee
p =
loft, the, mail carrier, for carrying the
mail on The Minnie Sutton between this
place and Mackinaw.
The TiuscOtt has been -t!sing Il good
business between this port and Mackinaw
and Point 81. Ignace during tic week
morning she lett wiflia large crew
of men bound for the north shore.
In response 10 numerous requests from
the citizens of Maekinaw, DIR. Burnette
will visit Mackinaw again on or about
the I'D OF 23d inst, for the purpose of
attending 10 the wants OF those in need
hf his professional services.
Considerable complaint is being made
by those running boats on the inland
route in regard to the channel being
blockaded by logs. 1t is claimed that
there.is no hecessity IN thus oDs;lucting
the channel, that by little care and
trouble the logs could be RATED down
without Interfering with the passage of
the boats. -
We should judge from the number Of
tllistlcs thar can be stem growing upon
our streets. that in the course of few
yearsaq quite a prolific crop will be raisetl.
The Village Council should take some
action to ca,Ise them to be destroyed he
fore they mature. San ounce. of pre-
vension is>worth a pound Of cure. ''-'S
The Ruby House had n narrow. escape
from being buried hist Sunday night. \
kerosene lamp exploded in bed room
iuid set fire 10 some clothing lhnsing IN
the room. Fortunltely the fire was eH-
linguishcd without doing any damage
except to The clothing. No alarm was
given, so our fire company did not have
an olportaisify1o Distinguish itself. 81.
If any Tof our citizens are fortunate
enough to handle five dollar bills, we
would canton them to look out or-bills
of that denomination of the Traders
National bank ofyChicago. The litter
Deem saws they airy being largely cii-
clIIate and that The bank has no five
dollar bills incirculatlon. If any person
should offer any OF these bills to our cit
liens we would advise them 10 refuse
the. bin and take the ln;lil-for dealing III
spurious money.
