Friday night of last week the residence
of Mr.. Joseph Rivers was broken into
and robbed. Mr.. Rivers has charge Of Il
lumber camp. and he and his wife were
both at the camp, leaving the house
locked up. Word was sent to Mr.. Rivers,
and Thursday of this week he came
down. An investigation showed that a
clock and quantity of Mrs. Rivers wear
ing apparel together with sheets and 9TH
er household articles had been taken. The
clock was discovered to have been dis
posed of to Alex. McCartee, and this led
to the apprehension Of the thief. Yes
terday warrant was issued and man
known as Joseph Peck. with an unspell-
able Indian name in addition, was arrest
ed and All examination had before Justice

into the house, and taking the
clock and of having disposed Of it, and
claimed that his family WAS suffering tor
something to eat, and that he stole the

RObbing q TIL.

For some time past Mr.. Joseph Burns
was of the opinion that some person was
in the habit of drawing upon his money
till, and accordingly commenced watch
ing in order TO detect, if possible, who
was the guilty person. The result was
that he came to the conclusion that a
young man in his employ as bartender
was laying up small sums from time to
time to guard against a rainy day. 1t is
an unusual thing tor ChebOygan 10 have
rainy days at this season OF the year, but
last Thursday it was quite moist, in fact,
it was very much like spring rain. and
Mr.. Burns concluded he would spare the
young man any further trouble in saving
up for such time, and preferred charges
against him, and had him arrested. Up
on examination, something over hund-
red dollars was found upon his person
that he had piltered from the till. An
examination was held before justice,
and the result was the young man. fail
ing to obtain bail, was taken in ont OF
the wet and given quarters i'm the ''cooler.
where he will remain until the next term
OF the circuit court, unless he should con.
clude some dark night to walk out
through the rotten concern.

NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. DECEMBER %. 1877.


Mr.. D. j. Buckley, the contractor, has
completed the New Town Hall, and the
same has been formally accepted by the
Village Council to-day. The building,
while not so expensive or snowy as many
other towns enjoy, is a credit to the
place. While there is nothing elaborate
in its design or fiuish, it is built in a neat
style and in good taste. ref, citing credit
OH bot b the designer and builder. On
the lower floor is the Council char ber,
engine room, and firemen's hall, and in
the northwest corner is the lookup. The
engine room is provided with an elevator
tor drawing up thelhose for drying. The
upper floor is devoted to the Town Hall,
which makes g neat and cOmmOdiouS
room, and will be large enough: to ac-
cOmmOdate the requirements OF the viii
lage for years to come. LII the EAST end
Of the room, over the stairway, is a gal.
lery, which adds to the capacity of the
hall to great extent. A neat platform
or stage has been placed in the west end
of the hall. We believe the seating az
cOmmOdatiOns have not been provided
for, or how it shall be seated decided up
on, but what expressions we have heard
have been i'm favor of chairs. This, how
ever, is something Cor the Council TO de-
eide upon. aud will depend somewhat
upon the finances of the village.

Major Brooks was brought i'm in a small

jor Brooks to have gone overland to the
Sault. but the fearful condition of the
road induced him TO charter the Minter
and make the trip by water A trip to
the Sault in the middle of December is
an unusual occurrence. and is worthy of
being noted. The party report having
had very pleasant trip throughout, and
the Minter was, probably, the last boat
to pass through the Sault river this year.
Major Brooks remained in the village

From New York Observer.
Golden Text.-"I have fought good
fight. have finished my course. l have
kept the faith. I'll. Tim. 4: Z.
Central Truth. h.-"Christ's servants are
faithful unto death.
This lesson, entitled "Paul's last words"
is taken from his last letter to Timothy,
which is one of the Pastoral Epistles, So
called because not addressed to churches,
bat to individual ministers, on themes
connected with rLeir peculiar duties.
Critics are generally Of tue opinion that
this was the last letter which Paul ever
wrote. Soon after this he suffered mar
tyrtlOm at Rome.
1t was very natural that the great
apostle should feel keen anxiety that
they who should carry on the work OF
building up the kingdom of Christ should
be men of the true apostolic spirit. His
letters to Timothy especially illustrate
this. He felt u very strong personal i'm
terest i'm this young disciple. He was
probably one of his converts at Lystra
when he first visited that place, and was
set apart by him to the work of the min
