Last Saturday evening the Mary Col
lins, of Chicago, Captain Van Slyke i'm
command, bound from Chicago to Col
lingwood with a cargo of IL, 400 bushels
of corn, when about ten miles southwest
of the Manitous was struck with severe
squall, which left her in used up condi-
ton. Both of her tOpmasts were carried
away, her mainmast broken off below the
deck, head-gear badly demoralized and
all of her sails more or less torn. the
mainsail being'used up entirely. After
the squall, the captain let 60 of the an
chUr, when the vessel brought up in
about sixty fathoms. Signals of distress
were raised. and one or two steamers
passed near without giving them any no.
tice. The propeller Scotia, passing, came
to the relief of the Collins and towed her
to the ManitOus. The captain of a schoon-
er sent part of his crew to help the crew
OF the Collins take up her anchor, as her
windlass was disabled. While doing so
the chain brOke,and the anchor, weighing
about ton, with sixty fathoms OF cham,
were lost in the lake. Word of the dis
aster was brought by the Scotia to Cap
tain Sinclair. of the wrecking tug Prindi-
yille. who left Monday morning, and
went to the aid Of the Collins. The Prin-
diville returned to this port with the
schooner in tow Tuesday afternoon and
remained here uutil "Wednesday fore
noon awaiting instructions from the
owners of the Collins, when she left with
the disabledivessel inflow for Port Huron.
The Collins was making about four
inches of water an hour, but was kept
free by her own pumps without much
difficulty. Captain Van Slyke is entitled
to great credit for the manner i'm which he
handled the vessel i'm her disabled cOndi-
ton.

Again Continued.

The trial of s. B. w. COvall, for the
burglary of the safe in the canal office,
now little more than year since, did
not take place at the late term OF court
at the Sault as was expected. just as
trial was about to commence very ma
rial witness for the people turned up miss
ing. He was found across the river in Cam
ada, but refused to return and testify,
and not wishing to proceed without him,
the Attorney General made motion for
continuance, which was granted. The
motion was strenuously resisted by the
defence. Had the attorneys for the de-
fense directed the same amount of elo-
quence to the witness at his Canadian
headquarters, there is very little doubt
but that his attendance could have been
secured and the trial proceeded with, and
saved the defendant the great hardships
that it is claimed he had to endure,
owing to the continuance,

Something New.

Mr.. Isaac Stewart has just purchased
one of Nichols, Sheppard & Co.'s cele-
brated vibrator tbreshing machines. 1t
arrived in Petoskey, direct from the fac
tory at Battle Greek, last Tuesday evening,
and Wednesday was taken to head of
Crooked lake, from which place it will
come by water. These machines are COLI
sidered the best now made, and Mr..
Stewart having much experience at the
business, will give entire satisfaction.
The fact that such a machine as this is
being brought into the country is cer-
certain proof of the rapid settlement
which has taken place during the past
two years. In this connection we will
add that it is estimated by those who are
inia position to make their Judgment re-
liable, that there will be wheat enough
raised in the county this year to supply
all the wants of the county in this line.
We trust that this will prove the case.

A Dangerous Assault.

Last Thursday evening quite sensa-
tiOn was created on. the sidewalk i'm front
Of Hayes blacksmith shop by an alter.
cation between John Vincent and w. C..
Hayes. AS near as can be ascertained,
the facts in the case, the trouble was
caused by a disputed account. Mr.. Hayes
having done some work sometime since
for Mr.. Vincent, and not getting his pay
therefor proposed to keep some Of Mr..
Vincent's property in his possession un-
til the account was paid. On the after
noon in question the parties had some
words about the matter, when, accord
ing to Mr.. Hayes statement, Mr.. Vincent
took knife from his pocket and
opened the small blade. and proceeded
to test its edges with his thumb. He
then opened tire large blade and tried il
i'm the same manner. Mr.. Hayes had nc
suspicion that it was the intention to use
the knife Oh him. Suddenly, however,
Vincent made a pass at him, but the blow
was warded off, but the escape was a
narrow ore, as the knife cut hole i'll
his shirt on his side. The next blow
was aimed at his face, but warded off so
that it took effect on his temple, making
scalp wound. Complaint was made,
and Mr.. Vincent arrested upon charge
~, L. i,,fa fN A
write this the examination is IN progress
before Justice Sutton. We have not
heard Mr.. Vincent's version of the affair,
but it will appear during the examna-
ton this afternoon, and may change the
aspects of the case somewhat. The case
for the people is being managed by
Prosecuting Attorney Brown, while Mr..
Bell is managing the defense.

rAccident to the Propeller Peerless.

Last Sunday, while the propeller
Peerless was On her way to Lake Su-
perior, and when about forty miles off
the Manitous, she broke the valve of
her air pipe, which resulted in breaking
the top off of the pump, thus opening
the discharge pipe, which was 10 inches
in diameter and three feet under water,
and allowing the water from the lake to
pour into her hold. The situation was
critical, but Captain Mcintyre was equal
to the occasion. The Peerless, at the
time of the accident, was in water the
depth OF which was 100 fathoms, so that
the only hope of saving the steamer was
to stop the inflow of water. The deck
hands, who were mostly colored men,
became badly frightened, and were for
taking to the life boats at once, but Cap
tain Mcintyre produced strong argu-
ment in the shape of revolver, which
caused them to obey his COM
mands, and they were forced to 90
between decks throwing over cattle,
sheep and miscellaneous freight from
the starbOa:d side, i'm order to give the
steamer a list to enable them to get at
the discharge pipe. AS soon as this was
done, bed clothing was thrown over
board, and, by the suction of the water,
drawn into the pipe until the water. was
shut off; not, however, until the water
had nearly reached the furnace. Fortu-
nately the steamer was provided with
a tight bulkhead forward of the boiler,
which prevented the great body of water
reaching the freight slowed in the hold.
Signals OF. distress were displayed, and
theschOoner Lucerne came along side
and offered aid, but about the same time
the propeller Scotia came along. ;and the
Lucerne passed on. The Scotia towed
the disabled Pecrl ess into the South
ManitOu harbor. took a number OF pas
sengers from her who were bound for
Lake Superior, and brought them to this
port, where they took passage OIL the
Truscott for Mackinac, at which place
they would take a boat for the upper
lake. The conduct of Capt. Mcintyre
and his officers is highly praised by all
who were on board, and there is no
doubt but that their prompt efforts were
the means of saving the vessel and pre-
venting great loss of life. The wreck
ing tug Leviathan was sent for, and left
here Monday morning for the Manitous
to tow the Peerless to Milwaukee. where
she would be repaired. The Peerless
is one OF the finest boats running from
Chicago to Lake Superior, and has one of
the handsomest cabins upon the lakes,
and is favOrite with the travelling pub
lie,

Settled by Authority.

The decision of the judges in the horse
trot at the Park on the Fourth of July
c,used good deal of conflict of opinion,
and protest from Mr.. Simpson, the
owner of one of the horses engaged in
race. This protest compelled the holder
of the prize money to hold it until some
authoritative decision could be had. The
following from, Wilkes Spirit of the
Times, of Sept. 1st, effectively settles all
disputed points.
ia p, Cheboygan, Mich.-Will you give
your opinion on the following ''Three horses
start in race, with one horse two lengths in
the rear, which position they keep until just
before making the turn in the home stretch,
when the rear horse gains length. They en-
ter the home stretch with the rear horse at the
pole, when the other two horses cross In front
of him, and he comes under the pole one
length behind under a strong pull, with the
front horse running; he began by running
about two rods from the wire. Which horse
gets the heat ?" Answer-The horse which
changed positions on the home stretch should
have been distanced.

The last resting place of Pere Mar
quette has long been matter of interes'
and for years has been the subject of
much conjecture. but until the recent
discovery of the supposed foundation of
the church on Mr.. Murray's farm. at
Point st. Ignace, there was nothing from
which any definite conclusion as to
where he was buried could be derived.
The discovery OF this foundation awaken
ed renewed interest in the question, but
Mr.. Murray would not allow of any
farther search to identity the place of his
burial until the arrival of the Bishop
from Marquette, who visited the Point
the present week. when they dug i'm
mediately beneath where, from the form
of the remains of the foundation, it was
supposed the church alter stood, and
here they found the bones of what was
once human being, and. from Jesuit
tradition, there is every reason to believe
that they were those of the celebrated
Marquette. Of course there is nothing
in the mere finding of human bones to
positively establish the fact that they
were those of Marquette, but when the
finding of these bones in the location
they were. taken i'm connection with the
surroundings and the fact that the re-
mains of Father Marquette were buried
beneath the alter of the church ne had
founded at or near Point st. Ignace,
would seem to be very strong evidence
that the remains found were those OF the
celebrated missionary.

SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 8. 1877.
Annual school Meeting.

The annual meeting OF School District
No. 1, of Benton. was held at the nion
school building last Monday evening.
The Moderator. j. N. Perry, called the
meeting to order, and stated the busi-
ness to be transacted. Upon motion of
Geo. w. Bell, the reading of the minutes
of the last annual meeting was dispensed
with. e<
Director Perrin read the financial re-
port of last year, with balance on hand
of $193 ~, and stated that since the re-
port had been published in the village
papers couple of bills had been paid,
which accounted for the difference of the
balance on as shown by the two reports.
Upon motion, the Directors report was
accepted.
Upon motion of A. p. Newton, it was
decided to have ten months school dur
ing the year.
In answer to question. the Director
stated that teachers wages for the year
would amount to $1,750.
Upon motion of Geo. w. Bell, it was
voted that the sum OF $1,000, in addition
to the primary school fund and two mill
tax, be raised for teachers wages.
Upon motion of A. P. Newton, the sum
of $1,000 was voted to pay interest OH
school house bonds.
M. w. Horne moved that the sum of
$3.50 be raised for incidental expenses.
An amendment was offered, that the sum
of $500 be raised. The motion, as amend
ed, was adopted.
Upon motion, it was voted that the
district officers purchase new curtains
for the windows of the school building.
The meeting then proceeded to an in
formal ballot fora trustee, with the fol-
Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1877-09-08
Mr.. Sammons was declared elected.

Geo. w. Bell -. ........
Mr.. Newton was declared elected.
j. p. Sutton said that in view of the
long term taught he would suggest, for
the consideration of the board, that a
longer vacation be allowed between
terms, rather than have so long one at
the close of the school year.
There being no further business before
the meeting. upon motion it was ad-
journed.
To Judge from the slim attendance at
this meeting, it would seem that our cit
izens take but little interest in school
matters i'm this district. This should not
be. Our public school is one of the most
important matters that our citizens are
interested in, and they should attend
these annual meetings. If they do not,
if matters are not satisfactory they should
rot complain. 1t may be, and no doubt
the business was conducted as we'll as it
would have been had the attendance
been larger, but that it was so is the good
fortune of all interested. 1t might have
been otherwise, and then those who stay
ed away from the meeting would have
been to blame. The village papers stated
the importance of the meeting, and the
attendance should have been larger.
