The regular January thaw which is so
well known i'm the southern part of the
state from its yearly appearance, paid
this place visit. which for mildness of
temperature and length of time could
not be surpassed by the usually more fa-
vored localities. The moath did not
start out proDitiously for this event, but
| by making a great effort on the home
stretch it saved its distance, and came in
underthe wire OIL time. 1t was more of
success than usual. for it required a
number of days in February to cool of its
ardor. January thaws were probably
created i'm order that neat people could
see where slovenly people deposit their
ashes, and TO enable inquisiiive people to
are. by the size of the ..clinkers" which
passed through their coal stoves. 1t is a
great comfort to some folks. even this
little insight into the business of other
people. During the thaw a person
could slip down in ChebOygan and rise
up with seven different kinds of slush on
his garments, just the same as i'm Detroit.
Lansing. Chicago, and other metropolitan
cities. We think our thaw was equal in
quality and results to any other place i'll
the state. with the exception of Lansing.
where, the Republican says, there could
have been gentleman seen prOwling
about the house at midnight with his
hands full of washbOwls, and with &
bucket under one arm and wash tub
under the other, making frantic endeavOrs
to keep the evidences of January thaw
from running the furniture. 1t says the
landlord insisted on having rent in ad-
vance for the house, for the reason, judy
ing from the events, that he feared, per-
haps, that sometime the occupants might
all be suddenly drowned.

PetOSkeV Matters.

Mr.. A. Mcmillan is buying all the birds
eye maple he can procure at $40 per
thousand feet.
c. Il. Randall tapped" a few maple
trees. on the last day of January, and
made some fine syrup. This is rather
early in the season.
Mr.. David Cushman, proprietor OF the
Cushman House. is laying pipes from a
spring on the hill east of his house. foi
the purpose of supplying the hotel with
water. This will be great convenience
and add much to the popularity of his
house.
MIR. A. S. Lee is negotiating for tract
of about 1900 acres OF farming lands for
about forty families of Canadians, who
wish to come to the country i'm the spring.
Mr.. Lee sold at his real estate agency dur
ing the month of January, $40 acres of
farming lands. The prices ranged from
81 to 81 per acre. n
The committee who have charge of the
relief fund sent to Emmett county, have
instructed its secretary to prepare state
ment of what has been received and dis
bursed on account of the destitute home
steaders. which is to be published. This
is good move. People would like to
know something about it.

More Settlers.

Messrs. Humphrey and Lathrop have
made conditional arrangements for the
sale of large tract of land out near the
Riggs settlement to party of Germans
from Buffalo. Several of the party have
been here for week or two looking land.
and have decided that this tract suits them
the best of any they have seen, and have
sent for the rest of the colony. The land
will be divided up i'm small farms among
them, and it is expected that the work
of clearing the land will commence in
the spring. although those who are here
will commence the erection of houses and
making other preliminary arrangements.
In fact the party on Tuesday took out Il
load of lumber and supplies to COM
mence work with. The Germans are the
best class of citizens new country can
be settled with, and we have no doubt
that this tract, il this colony carries saOut
its intentions will in a few years be we'll
improved farms, and the owners thereof
wealthy citizens. The tract of land Sc
iected is equal to any i'm the county and
shows that the men who selected it un-
derstood their business. The definite ar
engagements for the purchase of the land
will not be made until after the arrival
of the rest of the colony, when. if the
location suits all around, they will de-
eide upon the location of each individu-
al, and the writings drawn

Accident.

The Detroit News says that letter
from ChebOygan announces that John G..
Mcintosh, Il former resident of Detroit,
met with very serious accident OH JAN
uary 27th, in his lumber camp on the
north shore, Lake Superior. He was sit
ting in his cutter, giving some directions
to one of his fOremen, when his horse a
spirited young animal, took fright at the
noise of falling tree, and started to run
away. Before the horse could be got
under cOntrO,. he had turned sharp
corner of the log road and thrown Mr..
Mcintosh out, whose head struck so viO-
lently against pine stump as to
fracture his skull. He now lies in very
critical condition. We have taken some
pains to find out some further particulars
regarding this matter, but without sue
cess. No one whom we could find
here seemed to know anything of the
circumstances or where the camp spoken
of was located.

The Firemen's Dance.

The firemen's dance on Thursday
night was a moderately successful affair,
financially. There were thirty-twO
tickets sold, from the price of which, de-
Quoting expenses, leaves about ten dol
lars us the net profit going to the COM
pany's treasury. The result should have
been more than this, but taking every
thing in consideration, perhaps it was as
well as could be expected Everything
connected with the dance passed off in
the most pleasant manner. The supper
at the fremont House was spoken of in
the highest terms by all who partOok OF
it. Mr.. RapIn, the proprietor, deserve,
the thanks Of the firemen for the manner
i'm which he fulfilled his part OF the con-
tract.

They are the first of the season. as far
as reported. Twins-girls-Mrs. Abram

The internal improvements i'm Nelson's
store still continue, and indicate great
| increase o: room and convenience.
After next week Cheboygan will have
daily mail. Our citizens can then take
daily papers with some degree of salts
faction.
The road to Petoskey is reported in an
excellent condition excepting about two
miles OH this end, which contains much
bare ground.
Read the article on the second page re-
garding the Presbyterian summer resort,
and think if it is not worth ar effort on
the part of Cheboygan to obtain.
There will be preaching at the usual
hours at the Congregational church to-
morrow by the pastor, Rev. r. NJ. ThOmp-
son. A general Invitation is extended.
Cueny bakes one hundred and sixty
loayes of bread per day. This is a good
business tor this season OF the year. The
improvements which he has been max
ing during the past week or so, will ena-
bic him to do a much larger business
next summer.
The Germans who propose locating
out near the Riggs settlement. as men,
toned elsewhere, have already named
their prospective village. 1t is to be
called Guyersville, i'm honor of the man
who has been the leading spirit in the
organization of the colony.
Some of the weather-wise are proph-
esying that we shall have a boat here by
the 10Th of March. When the Goth of
March comes it may be found that the
fine weather which we have been enjoy
ing was only borrowed, and that it has to
be paid back with interest.
An effort is to be made this winter by
petition to induce Congress to purchase
the telegraph lines of the country and
incorporate it with the POstOffice De-
partment. A circular informs ms that
blank petitions have been sent TO our
postmaster, where, we suppose, that all
who desire can have the privilege of
signing it.

Asking Aid Of the state.

The Board of Supervisors of Emmett
county have had a large number OF
special meetings regarding the destitute
homesteaders in that county, the cost OF
which to the county has been in the
neighborhOOd of three hundred dollars.
What has been accomplished by these
meetings is hard for an outsider to see
The cost put in the poor fund and
properly distributed would have relieved
much suffering. The result of the many
complaints of destitution-and much OF
it is genuine, while a good deal Of it is
nOt-is that thousands Of dollars in sup
plies and money have been sent to En-
met county collected from the benev-
client i'm all parts of the state. The re-
suit HAS further been that great num-
Der of the destitute prefer to live upon
charity, and refuse to work as long as the
charity supplies hold out. This is not an
encouraging state of affairs, we admit,
but such are the facts, ii we may believe
the PetOskey Democrat. and some of the
members of the distributing committee.
The last meeting OF the Board of Super
visors, which cost the county over thirty
dollars, resulted in preparing a memorial
10 the state Legislature, asking an apprO-
priation to aid the suffering in that
county. The memorial is long. hut it
fails to note the fact that w. f. Parker
and Bond & ingalls, offer to give en-
plOyment to a large number of men at
living wages. The fact of the matter is,
many of the men won't work as long rs
they can live without it. If the Legis-
lature has any idea of aiding these peo-
pie, we propose they send an Investigate
ing committee up and look into the he
cessities of the case. The TRIBUNE is i'm
favor of giving aid to every destitute de-
serving person. but when parties live all
winter on charity and do not work on
their hOmesteads, we have an an idea
that they are not very deserving.

A Card From ar. French.

To the Editor OF NohTHhKN TRIBUSE.
While there may be, and honestly too.
wide difference of opinion as to wheth-
er dancing, i'm itself, is right or wrong,
think all will agree with me that it is not
best to have dancing after the singing
schools at the Fountain House. Ii it is
known that there are 10 be such amuse-
ments after the school, it cannot be other
wise than that the attention of the pu-
pills will be attracted from the lesson,
and, as a consequence, they will not re-
ceive the benefit they otherwise would.
The dance last Monday evening WAS ar
ranged entirely independent of the
school and without consulting me, and
while | have no control over the room or
the pupils after the close of my school.
trust that in future no such arrangements
will be made. GEO. E. FRENCH.

THE RIVER AND mARBon BILL
The Committee Report $4,000 for
ChebOygan.

HarbOr oil Refuge, Lake HurOn.........-.... IoOcO
This makes total for Michigan OF
about $273,000, which is about $4,000
less than the state received last year
The total appropriations last year was
$4,S56,7OO, of which nearly $2,750,OOO
is yet unexpended. The bill, as it stands
at present in the committee, apprOpriates
about S2.300,OOO, He'll Gate and several
other places being still i'm expectation. and
the design of the committee is to keep
the whole within $2,5OO,O00. If the COM
mittee's report is adopted by Congress
Cheboygan may consider herself fOrtu-
nate. The committee this session has
been practically i'm the hands OF the Mr..
Durand, of this state, the chairman hav-
ing been engaged elsewhere. We are
glad to note that the committee took the
ground which has always been advocated
by the TRIBUNE that Chebnygan was a
place of more than local Importance and
should have its harbOr improved accord
ingly. Whether the $4,000 appropriated
last year is to be worked out as well as
the rev appropriation we are not able
positively to state, but we suppose that It
VIII be. This will put the condition of
the harbor far ahead of what it is now.

DEATH OF A DlSTISGUISHED LAWYER
AND GIFTED MAN.-We deeply regret to
learn of the death in Philadelphia, yesterday
week of Gen. VIM. a. Stokes in the sixty
third year of his age. Gen. Stokes was a
native of the city in which he died, and was
a very distinguished lawyer, as well as the
possessor of rare literary accomplishments,
while as an impressive and eloquent orator
he had no superior in The State. He reside Il
for several years in WestIDo. elaud county,
aud being a frequent attendant at our Courts
on professional business, was well known 10
the ueople of this county, who entertain
pleasant recollections of his amiable and
generous character, and who will long re-
member him as Il profound lawyer and bril-
liant advocate. Few men We're more widely
and favorahly known throughout the Stale
than Wm. a Stokes, and TIE news of his
sudden death VIII therefore be received with
genuine SORROW by a circle of friends and
admirers large aud widespread. Mr.. Stokes
was Nv ice married, his second wife having
been q sister of Hon. Thomas Williams. of
Allegheny county He was q firm believer
in the Catholic faith, convert II we mis-
take uot and no doubt received the last
rites of the Church on his death-beG. May
he rest in peace.
