Presque Isle County, Then and Now.

A few years ago Presque Isle
county was styled the "Louisiana OF
the West" and indeed the politi-
cial confusion and questionable Of
fetal conduct which then existed
within its boundaries, would do
honor to places near the gulf
Three years ago it was no easy
matter to tell who was its treasur-
er, sheriff or other officials, and
force or sharp practice was necess-
airy to install an official and give
him possession of the books and
papers of his office. The majority
of our readers are familiar with the
matters alluded to. and know well
that if certain buildings at Craw-
ford's Quarry and at Rogers City,
in which the corporate letters were
forged, could speak, tale would
be nnfolded that would support our
statement and be worthy of the
novelist's pen. But we are nov
proud to say that there is new
leaf turned over-that official
extravaganza and bulldozing in
that county are things of the past
and that good government and of
fetal economy have taken their
places.
Pressure Isle county bids fair to
be the best for farming purposes
on this shore. We hope ere long
to see here people independent
the resources of the county warrant
us in this. Pressure Isle county
has good harbors counting the COM
merce of the great lakes; a sol
that anticipates the husbandman's
desire an endless quantity OF
beech and maple timber to sup
ply the demand for steamboat fuel
good deal of pine and other tim
Der for the lumber market, and bet
ter than all, an honest, industrious
and economical people.

ton, during the last six months
and settled on homesteads on hei
vast tracts of State and govern
ment land, is fairly astonishing
Every boat that touches the shore
brings several families with their
outfit, bound for the woods to hew
ont a home. With such material
on hand, anil the will to amass and
properly direct it, Pressure Isle
county will henceforce figure large
| ly in the agricultural, commercial
and POLITICAL interests Of this dis
trict.

Needless Suffering.

Why is it that when attacked with
headache, toothachc, neuralgia, rheuma-
tism, or any of the countless pains and
aches that flesh is heir to, many persons
suffer for days and perhaps weeks, en-
deavoring all the while to bear up stoi-
cally under their weight of Affections
Why IS 1t they run frantically from one
remedy to another, seeking relief and
finding none? And why is it that II
finally their pains are removed, IL is at
such frightlul cost of time and money ?
The answer to all these questions is very
tried that sovereign remedy, the Seven
Seals or Golden Wonder, for If they had
they would have been instantly
cgtctually cured. The most eXcruci'
ating acute pains, and the most agon.
zing chronic aches are alike driven out
by its magic influence. 1t is the most
speedy and certain remedy for pains that
has ever been discovered. Nov.

it serve the purposes for which it
was built.
1t looks like an uphill job to at
tempt to keep the Fletcher House
through an Alpena winter without
q summer season to strengthen and
advertise it, but the reputation OF
its new proprietor, Mr.. A. Damn,
for perseverance, and as success
full hotel keeper, we believe the
representations for his success
are true and that the people of
Alpena will have the satisfac-
ton Of seeing, once more, the
pleasant and profitable Summer
season travel" in Alpena, as it was
of yore.
Mr.. Damn comes exceedingly
well recommend, and with widely
extended acquaintance with the
travelling public of this State.
The people of Alpena cordially
welcome Mr.. Damn and his family
and trust that he will meet with
success in his undertaking, believ-
ing that his success will be theirs.
Provisions have been made by
which the house can be warmed and
so fitted up that hereafter it can
be used as well in the winter season
as in the summer.

Enlisted for the War.

1t is not the easiest thing in the
world to commit the long parts OF
play to memory and then repeat
accurately and with proper feeling
upon q stage before a large and
critical audience. Persons who are
not used to appear before the pub
lie naturally feel much embarrass-
ment when standing before TIE foot
lights and facing several hundred
people who are intently watching
their slightest motions. Conse-
quently when amateurs acquit
themselves passably they deserve
the thanks of the audience, for
their services are, generally, given
freely for some worthy society. In
such cases the public are usually
mild critics and free with their APP
plause. But when amateurs acquit
themselves admirably, as was the
case with the gentlemen and ladies
who took part in the drama, EN-
listed for the War;" last Wednes-
day evening, at Alpine Hall, they
deserve the highest commentator,
not only for the substantial benefit
they gave the Guards, but for the
pleasure they afforded the many
citizens who were present, in fur
nishing them with pleasant even
IN o,,c antartainment
The play proceeded much smooth
er than when first presented-the
actors were more at home, and
seemed more fully to comprehend
their parts and identify themselves
with the characters they represent
ed. Notwithstanding that it was
the third representation within a
short time, the play was listened to
with pleasure by the large audience
who had assembled to witness it.
Crimps was again in his glory
and succeeded in winning new lau-
rels by his splendid acting. His
appearance was always the signal
for an outburst of merriment, and
Notwithstanding the pain he suffer-
ed from his amputated finger, he
was as frolicsome as il there
were no such things as pain and
trouble in the world. Crimps, as
acted by Mr.. w. Eccles, was an
admirable representation aud equals
anything in that line of character
that has been before the citizens
Of this place.
The Colonel Rowell, of r. M.
Donnelly, was admirably acted.
Mr.. Donnelly had difficult part
to sustain-that Of an unscrupu-
Ions villain, who yet aimed, out
wardly, to be a gentlemen. and du-
ring the whole play he seemed to

three years, owns his dwelling house,

ly none so low in price by many dollars.
The Homestead is widely known and
