The second reception of the Al
nena Guards to the citizens OF
this place. in commemoration oil
their second anniversary, took
place Mt the armory last Monday
evening, on which occasion there
was large gathering OF the cltl-
zens. After an overture by the
Guards Band, Lieutenant K. NJ.
Donnelly, in graphic and pleasing
manner that interested the large
audience very mu'h, related the
history of the company since its
first organization, some two years
ago. The remarks of the Lieuten-
ant we're interspersed with several
anecdotes which frightened the
faces of the spectators, and one
which related to the observation
of a certain constellation known as
the big dipper, fairly brought down
the house. After the Lieutenant
had finished his remarks, there
was music by the hand, singing
by the choir. and remarks by va
rious citizens.
The company was mustered into

parture, we're presented with a
beautiful flag by the Alpena ladies'.
August 18th, 1877, the Guards
were ordered to Detroit. on account
of the disturbance in the country
occasioned by the strikes, and not
withstanding that they had hut
few hours notice, seventy-four mef
embarked, believing, as did every
one else, that they were going &c
have a serious time. Whlie al

write a whole book on the subject
of farming, and portray wherein
the farmer has greater advantages
over any other business man IN the
whole country. The farmer is
truly independent while every other
business is, as it were, entirely de-
pendent on the farmer. The farm
er can, on a rainy day, sit in the
happy satisfaction that his crops
are growing and that his wealth is
accommodating, although he is taxi
ing his ease. What matters it to
the farmer if banks fail and spec
ulators are driven into bankruptcy,
or if money is scarce, or that thou
sands upon thousands of laborers
are out of employment! But very
little for the products of the farm
always find ready sale at good,
living prices, aud no matter what
tue season of the year, the farmers
money is growing all about him, in
houses, cattle, produce, etc. What
wonder it is then that so many
men will continue TO almost idle
away their time by striving to gain
miserable livelihood about some
city or village, when they might far
better go on to piece of land and
soon he on the road to prosperity
if not 10 wealth.
There is not State in the union
that ranks as high on the agricul-

sustained severe damages by COM

Fire at Rogers City.

About four o'clock, on the after
noon of Saturday last, and after
the Rogers City shingle and planning
mill had shut down for the day, a
fire broke out and before any one
could get down, the roof was mass
of flames, and in five minutes after
wards the building was entirely
consumed. The adjacent buildings
for slowing dressed lumber, togeth-
err with the office and stable, and
also large ice house. soon fell be-
fore the devouring element, and it
was with great difficulty, and only
by the most arduous exertions that
the entire village did not become a
prev to the fierce flames. The
large Molitor sawmill, at distance
of fully two hundred yards, caught
on fire at the rear end, over the EN-
CINE house, but luckily the fire was
noticed in time to be extinguished.
Had no ladder been on the premises
this mill would have been immedi-
atelv doomed to destruction. The
engine and boiler in the shingle
mill are supposed not to he greatly
damaged.-Rogers City Advance.
