The Neyv Townships.

The indications are that the bills for
the new townships proposed to be erected
from territory in the southern, part of
this county, now belonging to the town.
ship of Burt, will pass the two Houses
OF the Legislature without opposition.
One. for the township of Nunda has al
ready passed the House and gone to the
Senate for its approval. The territory
composing this township consists of sur
veyed townships 80 north, ranges and
west. The township of Tuscarora.
which will also soon be passed upon, in
cludes surveyed townships 81 and 80
north, range 3 west. This portion of
the county contains some of the best
farming lands in this section of the
state, and is being rapidly filled up with
actual settlers. In this connection, we
would remark that the interests OF Che
boygan would be largely subservea in
the present, and more largely in the fu
ture, if interest enough were manifested
to secure good road from that section
of the county to the village. The trade
from that part of the county now goest TO
Gaylord. Otsego Lake and Petoskey,
when much better terms could be given
them here. simply because there is no
direct communication with this place
A word TO the wise should be sufficient.
DIR. d. A. Burnett, the dentist who
gave such good satisfaction on previous
visit to this place. informs us that he
will arrive here again on the 18th inst.
DR.. Burnett manufacturers the celebrated
celluloid plates, the most satisfactory
plates that are now made, and which are
guaranteed to give entire satisfaction.
He also extracts teeth without pain. All
who are i'm need of any description of
dental work will do well to give the doc
tor call. His office will be ut the Foun-
Ftail House.

NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. MARCH II. 1877.
The Alpena Railroad.

The Alpena people are somewhat ex-
cited over their railroad prospects. They
desire A land grant to build road from
Alpena to some point on the JacksOn,
Lansing & Saginaw railroad. A bill was
introduced in the Legislature TO that eff
feet. Thus tar all went we'll. But the
shore towns below Alpena wanted a
railroad just az badly as did Alpena, and
went down to Lansing in force and made
such strong claims for it: that the road
could be just as cheaply built on the
shore,and that the state-would be as much
benefited by this course, that the railroad
mittee favored the shore route TO the in
land route. The Legislators thought
that as long as Alpena secured a railroad
that it ought not to make much differ
ence to that town whether it was by the
way of the shore or from the inland.
This was an erroneous conclusion. When
the Alpena people found how matters
stood in Lansing they held meeting
and Resolves" the gist of which was that
they wanted the inland route or none at
all. The shore route in their eyes was all
q delusiOn and snare. They would fight
to the bitter end The project of having
the road come TO them by the shore
route. They endeavOr to excite the sym
pathy of the public by staling that for
six months of the year they are cut off
from all communication with the out
side world. They do not inform the
public that the shore towns are in the
same deplorable condition. They speak
of the necessity of the road for the
opening up and Improvement of the ter
ritOry embraced in the counties OF Ros-
common, OscOda, Montmorency, Alpena
and Presque Isle. The road, if built as
proposed by the Alpena people, would
take 100000 acres of land from Presque
Isle county, but that county would not
have any benefit from the road what
ever. Such unselfishness is wonderful
to behold. and will, no doubt, be an ex-
ample to the rising generation.
Cheboygan wants railroad. What
| would -Alpena think of proposition. to
take Il 100000 acres Of land from Alpena
county to assist in its construction
Presque Isle county will want railroad
sometime, but how will it get one if it is
forced to give all the land it has to CON
struct road to Alpeua, which does il
no good. ChebOygan wants railroad
but it cares very little about the route
bywhieh it comes, if it only gets here.

Railroad Notes.

A few days after Representative Nc
Arthur introduced the bill giving a
grant Of land to the Grand Rapids & III
diana railroad, providing they would
push their line forward to ChebOygan, a
petition was sent in very largely signed
by Indians and whites. praying that the
course of the road be CHANGED. and that
it should go to Mackinaw City, vfa Lit
lie Traverse, Cross Village and WaugO-
schanc point, and that aid should be
granted for that route instead. Such an
air line route presents numerous adyanta-
ges. ge aat io
We understand that the citizens of
Mackinaw county are circulating pc
tition against the Legislature granting
aid to the Grand Rapids & Indiana rail
road for the continuation of their road TO
Cheboygan. What objection they can
have to Chrbeygan having railroad We
cannot conceive, but OUT opinion is that
their petition will have very little weight.
We can trace the rumored extension OF
the Jackson Lansing & Saginaw TO no
certain foundation; still, we hope that
there may be something in it.

The NfackEaaw & Marquette Rail-
road.

There is but little doubt but that the
bill extending the time tor the COM
pletion of the Mackinaw & M:rquetie
railroad will pass both Houses of the
Legislature and become law. ii this
is the case, it seems highly propable
that within two, years the road viii be
constructed. Mr.. w. L. Wetmore, Pres
urnL of the road, is in Europe in the
interests of the road, amt reports the
prospects extremely favorable for raising
the money with which to construct it.
There is every indication that there will be
revival of business in the year tn come.
and that will give the European capital
lists confidence to invest in American
railroad enterprises again. We hope to
soon be able to announce the commence-
ment of work upon this important en-
nriSe. .ffE.t.

Will Run as Usual.

Mr.. w. S. Humphrey has received a
letter from Capt. Fall, of the steamer ST.
Joseph. stating that she will run on her
old route the coming season, and will
start out as soon as there is possibility
of reaching Cheboygan. Capt. Fall says
that he will gladly DO any errands or
make any purchases for citizens of Che
boygan before the boat starts out, so that
the goods purchased will cone on
the first trip of the boat. His address
is at Detroit.

ST. PATRICK.

For .he NORTHFRF TRIBUNE.
To-day is the anniversary of the death
of ST. Patrick. There is probably no
distinguished individual so little known
TO modern people as st. Patrick. 1t is
believed that he was good Catholic. be
cause we see our Catholic friends so Law
.ish of praises and display upon this the
anniversary of his death Hundreds of
years after his death Catholic writers
have written legends of the marvellous
miracles he performed, which are mere
ly legends.
The only facts with regard to him
that can be obtained are from his own
writings, of which there are twO-his
Confessions" and his sEpistle to Car
acticus." His '.Confessionsn. do not once
mention the Bishop of RENT, as he was
called at that day, and he never acknowl
edged any allegiance to him in any of
his writings.
St. Patrick was born about the year
3S7. i'm Britain. He lived with his ra-
rents until 16 years of ag, In those
DAYS of freebOOterS and lnaraudcrs, there
came company across the channel. and
he was captured and taken over to Ire
land and sold as slave. His master was
shepherd, and Patrick kept his mas-
ter's flOcks. For six years did he per-
form this labor. and it was while doing
this that his meditatiOns led him to fire.

year he made his escape from slavery.
but how he does not tell. His parents
were glad to see him. bat he was a new
man spiritually. He remained at home
20 years, and during all this time he was
ever doing all that Was possible to adj
vance the good cause he had esponsed.
About this time he had dream calling
him back to Ireland. ssa
He went. and preached the gospel the
rest of his life. and died on the IL II day
of March, A. D., 465, in the 18th year OF
his age. o'li - ai .--a' O. -
1t was a few, years before his death

4 NORTHERN SPEAKEE.-The Galveston
NerS. published in the State OF Mr.
THRoCKNoRTOS. who is a candidate for
Speaker OF the next House, has the follow
ing short and sensible paragraph i'll favor
OF electlng a northern man to that Office.
We quote
1.-The southern papers have been discuss
ing the speakership, bur very few express a
preference for any particular candidate, ana
all seem to agree that the policy OF putting
forward northern man should be still adj
hered to. That policy. after repeated trials
in the past, succeeded at last most sly
nally in the popular majority for Mr.. III
dew. and that ii is the safest yet awhile Is
proved by the disparagcment OF northern
democrats and pretended preference OF
southern Democrats often INDUCED III by
the more bitter Radicals. Let the Speaker
be a northern mSn again; it Is sectonalism
we grant, but OF corrective Kind, winch
must intervene before true equilibrium can
be once more established in the body OF the
people"
There Is force in this. The Radicals desire
the election of Il southern man as Speaker.
WHY. Because it would result to their adj
vantage. Let us be wise enough to learn
from our bittereSt enemies.

tronasc in that Statc. He has assured Gov
error Kellogg ana other Republicans IN

different executive departments, that all

take. they have still q chance to maintain

RESUMPTION OF SrEClEPAYMENTS,-Src-
rotary Sherman is giving out little by little
some Of the details OF his plan to secure
full specie resumption in january, 1879, the
time fixed by law. The financial views OF
the Secretary appear to remain the same as
frequently enunciated by him on the floor
OF the Senate during the last ten years at
least this is the case SO Far as he has OK
pressed himself since his incumbency OF the
Treasury Department, but he takes care to
withhold for the present full expose Of his
proposed financial policy. 1t is to be en-
pected, however, that he will in all his ope-
lations be guided by the convictions to
which he has uniformly given uttcrancc.
ear is expressed by some tinanciers that in
the recent action of the Secretary there is
an indication that in his anxiety to adoptall
methods which meet his approval to secure
Speclc-paymcnts he may lose sight Of the
imperative necessity OF maintaining the
sinking fund, and that he may accept 4
technical instead of literal obedience to
the sinkins-fund law. Every move OF Mr..
Sherman is watched with hawk-cycs by
those who are opponents OF his financial
theories.

FIREs.-Forect fires are raging in the
mountains near Scranton, Pa, and along
both sides of the Hudson river. But they
seem to lie causing most special and wide
spread disaster on the line Of the Ogdrns-
burg and Lake Champlain railroad. The
entire country for hundreds OF miles is
envcloped In dense smoke, and one or more
thriving villages are utterly destroyed.
Scores OF families nave been rendered home
less, and have been found huddled together
without either food or shelter and frantic
with the scenes of dcSoation which sur
rounded them. No estimate has yet been
attempted to be made Of the losses, which,
it is stated, cannot but be immense.
