able to place his family in a position
of safety. The two township hridg-
es recently erected at this point were
both washed away. as were also oil

town will probably reach twenty
five thousand dollars, while the New

for repairs.
At Wildwood station, ore mile
west of Sandy Creek, the food also
caused considerable destruction, but
no loss of life. The new station
erected by the A. V. II. Il Co, was
crushed like an egg shell and washed
away. The culvert under the rail
road here became choked up with
timber and d~rift-wood, and 10 less
than five minutes the water rose IF
teen feet. There was q family liy-
ing in a portion Of the station build

the house at the time of the food.
Coleman station, one mile further
west, also suffered considerable raw
age. The Sable Coal Works are To-
Gated here and there is a large cul-
vert under the railroad which singu-
larry did not choke up, but the force
OF the water washed twenty-fcur

distance of three hundred yards.

violence here, and soon swelled the
small stream to a resistless torrent.
The water rushed down the valley
with grea: velocity, to the depth of
eight or ten feet, sweeping every
thing before it. Great destruction
was done to property and crops, but
what was much worse. FIVE lives
were lost. A man named Abner

bank, in which he kept a small store
In the house when the Il 'od came

daughter and two men, one named

and every one 10 it was drowned.

been recovered.

Cheboygan Winters.

The prevailing idea OF Cheboygan
winter in the minds of the ontside world
is that we are so near the north pole that
it is only with the greatest difficulty
the citizens keep from freezing, and is
fairly expressed in the language of a
gentleman who said ''the only objection
he had to Cheboygan was that during
July and August the slcighing was
poor" How erroneous this idea is, those
who have ever spent winter in Cheboy-
gan need not be told; but for the benefit
of those who haye never enjoyed the
pleasures of winter iii this region, we
would say that more fallacious idea
could not be entertained. During the
present winter there has been only two
mornings that the thermometer indicated
as low temperature as zero, and only
reached that point on these occasions.
We have made some inquiry among
those who have observed the thermom-
eter closely, and the opinion expressed is
that the average temperature for the en-
tire winter, so far, has been about %
degrees above zero. 1t is true that this
has been an exceptional winter, but it is
also true that tor six winters past, which
the writer h is spent in ChebOygan, they
have had just as cold weather as far south
as central Ohio, every winter, as we have
had in Cheboygan, and during this win
ter, as tar south as Cincinnati, they had
much colder weather, and the condition
of the atmosphere i'm more southern To-
calities is such that the same degree of
cold is felt much more severely than is
experienced i'm this region.

A Gentle Hint.

In our style of climate. with its sudden
changes of temperature-rain,w wind and
sunshine often intermingled in a single
day-it is no wonder that our children,
friends and relatives are so frequently
taken from us by neglected colds, half
the deaths resulting directly from this
cause. A bottle of BOschee's German
Syrup kept about your home for imme-
diate use will prevent serious sickness, a
large doctors bill. and perhaps death, by
the use of three or four doses. For curing
Consumption, Hemorrhages, Pneu-
monia. Severe Coughs, Group or any dis
ease of the Throat or Lungs. its success
is simply wonderful, as your druggist
will tell you. German Syrup is now sold
i'm every town and village on this CONT
nent. Sample bottles Tor trial lOc.; reg

Fruit Prospects,

A correspondent of the Detroit Post
and Tribune, writing from st. Joseph. in
the great fruit region Of Michigan, says !:
''rhe prospect of abundance OF fruit in
this great fruit belt of the state is ex-
ceedingly fiattering. Your correspond
ent has held interviews with a great
number of growers, and finds universally
the same reply-plenty. The past winter
being an open one, with but very few
heavy frosts compared with our usual Sc
we're weather about this time of the year
have saved us. The crop at this writing
still remains in more than, ordinary good
condition. The strawberries, which are
the earliest fruit to ripen-and in this
section are cultivated more than any other
variety-are looking unusually well, and
Following strawberries come cherries,
raspberrics and blackberries, and these
are also cultivated very extensively, but
there is yet danger ahead. The month
of March is always: severe on the fruit
buds. The peach crop, which commences
i'm Angus: and continues until October
which is the standard fruit grown in this
locality-will far exceed the crop Of last
season. As there are great number OF
young peach trees just coming into bear
ing, we look for large crop this year.
The apple crop promises better than
ever, and is raised here in enormous
quantities. Our growers are jubilant
over the promises of the coming season."
From the President Of the United
States.
The Sunday School Times of February
22d was prepared with special reference
to that day, being the anniversary OF
Washington's birthday, and contains let
ters to the young from President Haye
and from each of the Governors of the
original thirteen states. The following
is the letter from the President:
WASHINGTON, Feb. Is, 1873.
To the Editor of the Sunday School Times.
The only American whose birthday is
generally known and widely celebrated
is Washington. The Father of his Coun-
try is remembered and honOred through
out the world for what he did and what
he was. None OF my young friends who
read The Sunday School Times are like
ly to have an opportunity to do such
great deeds aS were done by " ashin0tOn.
But all of them will have an opportunity
to be like hun i'm character. They can
have his love of country, his integrity
and his flrmness in doing the right. TO
have such a character is better than rank
or wealth, or fame. 1t is possession
which cannot be taken away. AS Web
ster said so impressively ola ''sense OF
duty" cit will be with us through
this lite. will be with us at its close, and
i'm that scene of inconceivable solemnity
which lies vet farther onward" it will be
with us. Sincerely,
r. B. HAYES.

1t also announced that the i'll feeling

probably be signed to-day, and that the

identity be failure. Austria had express
