The Iowa Falls Seatinci says that u
man attended a revival meeting in that
town, and carried with him dollars
worth of sugar. He deposited it in a
safe place. AS he thought, but when he
started to 60 home after the meeting, the
sug was gone The Sen incl adds, that
the officiating clergyman offered a prayer
for the thief, which seems to US an un-
equal division, as the thief had all the
sugar. Justice would have given the loser
!. share in the prayer, at least.

Thus far everything connected with
the Mackinaw & Marquette railroad has
been series Of di>appOintments. Time
and again during the past four years have
the prospects looked encouraging for the
early completion of the road, but just as
often have all such prospects turned out
like men OF straw. Thus, until we haye
almost lost faith in any railroad news
which we may hear. We shall. however,
continue to publish such rumors as may
from time to time come. to us. but be-
cause we publish them it must not be
thought that we place implicit reliance
upon them. We give the following for
what it is worth: A few weeks since a
party Of capitalists from New York ar
rived at Marquette for the purpose OF
looking the matter over, and, rs they
said, to take the contract if they found
things satisfactory. They claim TO rep
resent capital enough to construct the
road in two years should they make Up
their minds that it would pay. They
have gone over the entire length of the
road with the engineer who matle the
survey. and expect to take Il look at the
lands also. This, of course, looks some
thing like business, but it remains yet tC
be seen whether it will amount to any.
thing or not.

NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. OCTOBER 6. 1877.


The opening of the present term of
the University seems to be developing in
war between the two schools of medi-
cine-allopaths and homeopaths-con-
nected with that institution. 1t seems
that the professors of the allopath branch
are doing all they can to thwart the de-
| signs of the State Legislature In estab-
fishing homeopathic branch. Dean
Palmer, an allopath. it appears, has
charge of the lecture room, and assigns
the students their seats. 1t is claimed
by the homeopaths that he is discrimina-
ting between the students of the two
schools of medicine, and refuses to assign
those of the opposite school from his own
any seats until the allopath students are
all provided. As it has been customary
to assign the students their seats in the
order of their application, the homeo-
paths, with reason, claim that they are
being unjustly treated. and there has
been considerable ill-feeling developed
between the professors of the opposing
schools. Prot. Jones has preferred
charges to the regents against Palmer,
and says that if the board at all admires
fair play and decent behavior, they will
severely reprimand Palmer. President
Augell, it seems, sustains the old school
in their quarrel.
1t is to be regretted that the two
schools cannot work i'm harmony. The
time has passed when any man or set OF
men cin sustain claim that they alone
are the correct exponentstof the theory
of medicine. and we think that where a
system has as many supporters as has the
homeopathic i'm the state of Michigan.
they are at least entitled to respect
ful treatment at the hands of those who
oppose them. Whatever difference of
opinion there may have been i'm the
propriety of uniting the two schools in
the University, now that it has been
done, it should be seen that each is pro-
tected in It's rights.

Those of little faith i'm the future ag-

counties of Michigan, and those who
think that the Northern Peninsula is a
land of snowy waste and valueless for
agricultural purposes, we would ask to
read the following. Mr.. Andrew Blank,
of Sanlt Ste. Marie, has just threshed his
wheat, harvested from just five and halt
acres. Itmeasured, liberal measurement
one hundred and eighty-6ve bushels of as
fine wheat as can be raised anywhere.
This Is upwards of thirty three bushels to
the acre. There is another man, whose
name our informant did not learn, who,
|from.forty acres threshed twelve hundred
bushels. or thirty bushels to the acre
Such crops as these show the agricultural
resources of the country.
