We.snd the following i'm the Detroit
Post and Tribune and in the Inter Ocean:
"Capt. VIM. Chamberlain, OF the schoon-
er Owasco, of Chicago wishes to enter a
very emphatic protest against the prac-
tice of dumping the dre,lgings from the
Cheboygan river i'm the Anchorage
grounds under the lee of Cheboy3aaf
Point. On the 10Th ult. his vessel ran
hard on the ''lumps" thus formed and
pounded away two days beio getting
released. Her steering gear was carried
away, and the bottom more or less dam
aged. The dredgings have been dumped
i'm five fathoms of water, SO that i'm sever
al places the depth has been reduced to
twelve feet. Other vessels have had sim.
liar experience, and the obstruction
ought to be removed or official warning
given to lake mariners to keep clear OF
them" In an interview with Mr.. Stick.
ney, one of the firm of contractors WHO
did the work ut the time the dumps com.
planned Of was deposited, as well rs til6
present contractors feT the work on tht
improvements Of the harbor, he said that
in emptying the dumps they at the tins
followed the directions of the engineer
i'm charge of the work. and that they still
continued to do so. We would say, how.
ever, that for the past two or three sea.
sons the dumps have been enptied in
deep water, so as to cause no obstruction

The Rarbor improvements.

The work already done on the harbor
this season has added largely to its al.
vantages. That of widening the channel
has made more show, for what was DONE
than any work which has been put upon
the Improvement. The most of the
work, heretofore, has been in dredging
under water, and. consequently. the re-
suit was not seen; bnt this shows fOr
itself, and has had the effect of greatly
improving the appearance of the river
as well as adding to the conveniepce Of
the shipping interests of this port. The
additional depth given us i'm the channel
is also of great Importance. Previous to
this the larger crafts were compelled to
load down to something like ten or ten
and half feet, and then complete their
cargo outside, but the additional depth
given this season allows them TO load
down to twelve feet and over, making it
much more convenient in shipping llm-
Der. Two or three vessels have been
towed out drawing twelve and Il half
feet, and experienced no difficulty. For
the improvements this season we are
largely indebted to Col. Harwood. of the
engineer corps. who has charge of tie
Cheboygan harbor. Col. HarwooJ has
made several visits to Cheboygan and
thoroughly Investigated the situation,
and ascertained the most urgent require
ments OF the harbor, and made his rec
concentrations accordingly, and these
have been carried out, much TO the adj
vantage of this port.

Accepts the Call

We are glad to announce that the Con-
gregational church of this village is once
more to have 4 pastor. AS is well known
to our citizens, a call WAS extended to
Rev. r. NJ. Thompson, who so accepta-
bly, filled the pulpit as supply for a
number of months, to become permanent
pastor of the church. Last Tuesdays's
mail brought his acceptance of the call.
We think the church and the village are
very fortunate in securing the services
of Mr.. Thompson. During the time he
was acting as supply, Mr.. Thompson
made many warm friends in ChebOygan,
and the church never prospcred so well,
both spiritually and financially, as dur
ing his occupancy of the pulpit. Since
the receipt ei his acceptance of the call,
we have heard nothing but expressions
of pleasure at the prospects OF his return,
and We can assure him of warm and
hearty reception OH his arrival. The
following is Mr.. Thompson's letter of
acceptance, and shows that his heart is
| i'm the work before him i'm this field, and
it is to be hoped that the same spirit will
be manifested OH the part of the entire
membership, and all work harmoniously
and unitedly tor the cause SO dear to the
heart of Mr.. Thompson:

make it clear to my mind that it is right

deeply conscious of my own unwOrthi-

Council Proceedings.
fOMeinI

A special meeting t the Village Coun-
Gil was held at the. Council rooms on
Tuesday evening, Oct. Both, 1877.
Present-President Strohn, Attorney
Bell, Trustees De Puy, Perrin and Hall.
Absent-Trustecs McGinn, Farrell
and McKervey.
The Attorney stated that many of the
citizens had suggested that in their judg.
ment the window and door frames to
the town hall ought to be built and fin
lshed up more expensivcly than the orig
inal plans, therefore he thought it best TO
call the Council together that the matter
might be talked over.
Mr.. Buckley, the contractor, presented
two different plans for finishing up the
frames, also a porch to the front door,
with heavy caps and extra cOrnice, and
stated that the expense of one plan
would be 1920. and the other $264. more
than the original plans. The mltter
was talked over informally by the COun-
Gil, and it was thought the expense
would be too muci, to justify the change.
BY Trustee Hall:
1t ,cas resorued, That the night watch
be and is hereby discontinued, and that
the Clerk be dii ected to notify George
Francis that the village will dispense
with his services us such night watch
from and after this night.

Fortunately she struck in mud bottom,
