upon universal education. To this end,

Attempted Robbery.

Some thief effected an entrance into
w. S. Humphreys law office, through
the rear window, last Sunday night,
with the evident intention of robbing
the safe. The safe had carelessly been
left standing open Saturday night, and
the fellow bad doubtless seen the -con1i-
ton of things through the window dur
ing the day Sunday. and resolved on
making haul. Fortunately, however,
Mr.. Geo. Humphrey went into the office
Sunday afternoon and closed and locked
the safe. The thief was undoubtedly
disguised when he saw that he was to
get nothing, and departed without doing
any damage.

The following dispatch was bulletined
here Yesterday

DETROIT, Dec. %.
Ex-Governor John j. BaSley, Of Detroit, and
Howard Nj. Crosby, of New York city, have been
appointed trustees to receive the proceeds from
the sale of lands granted by the state to aid III
the construction of the Marquette d Mackinaw
railroad. The contractors, feeling assured OF
receiving remuneration, will proceed u work at
once, and promise to have it completed by this
time next year.
This seems more like business than
anything which has transpired i'll rela-
ton to this road OF much talk and many
disappOintments, since the grant was first
made by the state. We think the time
named is too short, but if it is done in
double the time it will be satisfactory to
every friend of the enterprise. We pre-
sumo this action will also put much valu-
able land in market, and thus pat stop
to much complaining to our northern
peninsular friends. We trust that the
hopes that this report will raise will not
have to lake the course of many before
but we shall feel much more confident OF
the early completion of the work, when
when We know that work has actually
begun.

The exercises were unusually good

Then followed the distribution of pres

METHODIST CHURCH.
Christmas at the Nj. e. church passed
of i'm very happy manner. Although
the night was dark, rainy and fOrbidGing
in its aspect, a goodly company of old
and young were gathered to enjoy the
festivities. The young ladies connected
with the church, with few of the gem

and from the summit flOated an Ameri-

orately covered with evergreens laid on
by nimble fingers. Over its broad area
were suspended cornicopias filled with
the usual assortment of seatmeats, nuts,
raisins, etc, Among these were hung i'm

were raised to lever heat, and it was
almost impossible to hold them in check.
It is to be regretted that there was not
sufficient interest taken in the arrange
ments of the occasion by the school as
would have led them to have united in the
preparation of suitable exercises, which
would have made the occasion more in

No literary or other entertainment was

Last Thursday DIR. Perrin visited pa
tient at Dodges Point, on Mullet lake,
and having several hours to spare before
the return of the boat. be took a little
stroll about the country. His attention
was attracted to mound which was
supposed to be the burial place OF In
dians. Procuring pick and shovel, he
set about a little investigation, He was
amply repaid for his efforts. About
three feet below the surface OF the
ground he came to the ''mOkuk," /" or birch
bark case. i'm which were the remains of
a young Indian. The case was opened
and the dacto:. discovered that Inc bad
doubtless found the grave OF a chief or
some person of rank, for upon the head
was crown, and upon the breast was
three thin silver breast plates. In one
hand was tomahawk, aud in the case
was large number of silver ornaments,
"a knife ami a silver spoon. The breast
plates have wolf engraved on the inside,
and the word montreal stamped below.
The body had been packed in the
"mokuk" in moss. and the ornaments
placed i'm such manner that they would
be preserved. Excavating little further.
the doctor came TO the remains Of a baby.
Here was found further ornaments,
among which was .'baby tomahawk,H
and some bead work on blue silk, which
was in remarkable state Of preserva-
ton.
How long these bodies have been buried
here no one can tell. None OF the In
dians here at the present time have amy
recollection about the burial Lof these
parties, but the ornaments were of such
a nature as to show that they were placed
there after the trading with the whites
began, but it must have been a great
many years ago. We believe DIR. Perrin
intends to continue his Investigations
further. The relics already discovered
can be seen at the doctors office, and will
amply epay visit.
