Burglar and ImpOstOr.

Last Thursday night the wagon shop of
Charles Kruger on Third stree: was broken
into and three saws were stolen from the
premises The thief was soon after found
in the saloon of e. krebs with two of the
saws he having dispensed of one of them
for fifty CENTS The next morning the fell
low who gave his name as Joe Smith, was
taken before Justice Ambrose and examined
on charge of burglary. He was bound over
to the next term of the Circuit Court and
in default of bail was sent to Jail. Smith
for several days previous to his arrest had
been around among our citizens soliciting
aims producing letter from a Catholic
priest at Appleton setting forth his WORTH
ness and necessities. The document was no
doubt forgery, but nevertheless hesucceed-
ed in beguiling many into helping him.
Mr.. Editor
| would like to enquire through your COL
umns if we have in the city any Health
Officers" and if so what are they doing :?
We have bad and probably will have some
extremely warm weather which in connec-
ton with some of the sink holes Of corruption
which at present exist in the heart OF the
city are apt to cost US valuable lives. There
are City Ordinances enough to keep US
clearly if they are enforced, and they GER
tainly should be. There is not week but
there are cattle, sheep and hogs butchered
within a half block of Main street by sever
al different butchers, and we think it time it
should be stopped. stNEXT'

A strange Defense Of a Friend.

The Free Press attempts to make an ex-
cuse for Mr.. McKervey making two re-
ports on the printing matter, but leaves
that gentlemen i'm much worse situation
before the public than if it said nothing.
The only way 1t can successfully de-
fend its friend and champion is to give
'sthe basis We took" and the "evidence
they gave" and show how the thing was
figured, and this they dare not do, be-
cause the '.basis we took" will not bear
the scrutiny Of the public. It would
seem that the Free Press expected. be-
cause the Council We're it's political
friends. that they would accept MIR. Nc.
Kervey's report without a question and
vote the printing to that paper. Now. be-
cause some OF them who had examinedlthe
matter full as carefully rs the Chairman
of the Printing committee, refused to ac-
cept the report without some evidence
showing that "the basis we took" and
that the Free Press bid was actually the
lowest, that paper now turns around
and abuses them. In its defence of Mr..
McKervev's action. the Free Press states,
that Mr. McKervey. being on the "tail
end' OF the committee. had no influence.
and simply signed the report made by
the Chairman, without any investigation
an his own part. A man who thus pub
licly admits that he gave his assent to a
report which he knew nothing about.
could certainly not expect that
the Council should adopt a second re-
port, confl'c ing with the first. without
some evidence going to show that his
second report tcas correct. Well might
the Chairman of the Printing committee
pray to be delivered from his friends.

Last Thursday afternoon Mr.. Moses
Buck was in the woods some distance
from town looking land, when he came
across bear and shot it. The bear fell
as if dead and the blood spurted from
the wound. Mr.. Buck approached it,
when the bear arose and attacked him
furiously, when severe encounter took
place. In defending himself Mr.. Buck
was severely lacerated, the flesh OH his
right arm being badly torn, his hands
bitten, and hip and right leg badly
used up, bearing several severe wounds
inflicted by the bear. He was obliged to
walk eight miles before he could secure
any assistance and get the wounds
dressed. DIR. GerOw was sent for, and
went up and dressed the wounds. Mr..
Buck says that if it had not been for
the bear being weakened from the
loss of blood he fears the bear would have
been too much for him, and might have
killed him. After shooting the bear he
had no more ammunition, and only a
small jack knife with which to defend
himself with, thus leaving him, I'm man.
ner, to contend with the infuriated
beast without any weapons. The
exertion of walking excited the wounds
SO that they became very painful. II
was, to say the least, a very narrow es-
cape and Mr.. Buck is to be congratulated
in escaping although so severely wound
ed. The wounds are quite serious and
will disable Mr.. Buck for some time,

The steamer i. Hurd, from Chicago
was the first boat to pass down through
the Sault canal, She passed up on the
2d inst. The large gates for the canal
were shipped from Detroit on the Sd
inst, on the schooner Frank Perew.,
They were constructed by Lime & Graf g
of Gibraltar, and weigh upwards of IS
tons each. 1t is expected that they will
be placed in position soon after they
reach the Sault. A telegram received in
Detroit from COL GortOn, Superintend:
ent of the canal, states that the depth OF

Arrival Of the valley'Queen.

The Valley Queen, the little side-wheel
steamer engaged by d. Smith, Esq. to
navigate our inland waters in connection
with the railroad lat Petoskey, arrived
here Thursday evening. The boat was
originally built to run between Ionia and
Grand Rapids on Grand river, and is a
model craft of her kind. The machinery
Is propelled by two small engines, the mo-
ton being geared down to the large pad
die wheels. Mr.. s. II. jerks is the builder
and will run her during the season. She
has fine cabin, and will prove
to be very popular, we think. She came
into Petoskey Thursday morning, just as
the delegation from Chcboygan to meet
the Presbyterian committee were on the
point of taking the stage for home. They
at once decided to take the boat. Some
delay was experienced in getting start.
out the run was made from Petoskey to
ChebOygan i'm just eight hours and half
with head wind nearly all the way, and
considerable sea at times. Tho distance
is not less than seventy miles, and by some
Is claimed To be more. This shows that
she has the requisite speed. The boat
will start upon her regular trips soon.
and is expected to make the round trip
from ChebOygan to the head of Crooked
lake in day. 1t IS probable. then. that
Mr. Smith will discontinue the stage line
and carry the mail by the boat. The route
will be very convenient and pleasant
one to the railroad. and we expect to See
large increase of travel that way.

tOwed into the river by the Bismarck.
She brought quantity Of grain for Nc
Arthur. Smith & Co.. and loaded lumber
and lath from that firm, and left for
Chicago Thursday.
We see by the Chicago papers that
grain vessels are getting scarce at that
port, and grain freights are looking up a
little, and lumber hookers are being char
tered for grain. Orders have been sent
for several canal vessels now at Oswegc,
Kingston and other points, and it's ex-

taking the light upon the Leviathan and

The Free Press intimates that the

"basis" and made One-sided report. In
justice to Mr.. De Puy We would say that
neither he or any other member OF the

any Information nor was any asked of US.
There was no necessity Of getting a
"basis" from either office to form COZ.
rect conclusion as to which bid was the
lowest. The official rscoi ds are all the
"basis" that Is required to form a correc,,
conclusion OF the matter, and we venture
TO say they were not examined by the
