Scarcely day passes but that in some
of our exchanges we find flattering
notices of our village from correspond
tnts wiring from this section, and the
fact that all are so very favOrably i'm
pressed with the situation of the village
and its future prospects, must convince
all that that there is "a successful future
before us. These numerous notices OF
the press cannot fail to impress the out
side world of the importance of the
point, and have great influence as to the
future growth of our town. ThefOllOw-
ing we clip from a paper published in
more southern part of the state:
Cheboygail, on the straits of Mackinaw,
is place of between three or tour thOus-
and inhabitants. The city is situated ut
lhe:mouth of the Cheboygan river, Il
clear and navigable stream for distance
of (including some inland lakes) about 30
miles. Down the river annually are float.

point of shipping and business of upper
Michigan. There are two railroad ter
minus ut distance of 80 miles from here
which are apprOachable by water and
land by the former route has been es-
tablished of two steamers that ply be-
tween this place and PetOskey, and by
the latter by stage. There are two news
papers published here, the ChebOygan
Free Press and the NORTHERN TRIBUNE,
both enterprising and well edited papers.
1t contains five hotels, and they do a
thriving business during the summer
months, as this place is quite summer
resort, affording trout fishing, boating,
shooting and grand places for "camping
ont" along the line of beautiful inland
lakes which are accessible by the :Che-
bOygan river. The country back from
town Is rolling and very fertile; the peo-
pie frugal. enterprising. and a great

factory and ship yard. The city is on
an incline plane extending back from the
shore of the straits, which shows off the
city at great advantage to tourists as
they approach the city by steamer.

per usually are !:
..We have always been an earnest ad-
vocate Of stock-raisiug 10 tie South. We
regard il as safer, sareT, more remunera-
tive and less laborious occupation than the
raising II the so-caiied staples. cotton. cane,

means discontinue the culture Of these
products, but We would restrict somewhat,
and enlarge our herds Vi cattle. horses,
sheep and hogs.
+" Our genial climate enables US to raise
any aid aE the above at less prices
than it costs our Northern aud Western
brothers to carry theirs through single
winter. Our markets are the best in the
country. and anything approaching res
peciatality fOis ready sale at remunera-
tive prices. W
f" We have urged the subject of sheep
husbandry upon our farmers as a sure and
speedy means Of recupera;iDg their lands
and Of keeping money IN the purse at the

:. We woald not wish TO convey the i'm
pression that because oui climate in mild.

SHEEP HUsBASDRY.-Iti is \ mistake
to say that sheep husbaodry won't pay in
this section Of the State. It will pay and
can be made profitable business. An
instance Of this comes to US from Jones
county. A few years after the war Mr.
Franklin Foy invested So 10 sheep. Since
then he has sold 5000 worth Of wool and
lambs. and has at present between 800 and
100 head Of sheet 10 bis pas.ures--all the
result Of $50 investment. Aud there is
the manure beside. Sheep raising is a
growing and profitable business. and no
farmer should be without them. Tee ef-
sentials to snccess are the righ. kind Of
stock. k.-Goldsbor Messenger.

UNAVOIDABLE OUTLOOK FORTHE
WINTER CAMPAIGN.

LONDON, October &c. The defeat of the Turk
and Establishment of strong Russian force west
OF Plevna, looks like the beginning of q serious
attempt to shut Ghazi Osman in his line and sub
mt flevna to regular siege. Ghourkos move
ment seems to have been part of q concerted
plan.
a portion of infantry of the imperial guard
crossed between Nikopols and Plevns, passing
around Gsman's left. Ghourko's cavalry crossed
west OF Lsvstz, swept Orchanie road, got in com =
munication with a force coming from the north,
and made combined attack on the Turks who
were commanded by liizl Pssha, the same who
TOOK the first convoy into Pevna. Simultaneous
ly with this attack heavy cannonade was opened
along the entire line on East Plevna and dem
onstration was made to give the impression of an
intention to assault.
Hifzi Pssha is reported captured, with a large
part OF his command.
The impression prevails that since the recc Mt
rams the Russians, convinced of the impossbty
OF wintering in Bulgaria, VIII make desperate
effort to effect a reduction of Plevna, and defeat
Sulieman Pasha's army before retirement into
koumania becomes necessary. Rus ia would then
stand IN better position should diplomacy inter
vene during the cessation of operations.
The News Bucha;e est correspondent says after
