Agricultural Society.

AS announced in these columns
last week, a meeting Of the Alpena
County Agricultural Society was
held at the Court Room on Satur-
day afternoon, for the purpose of
taking into consideration the FEAST
hility of holding county fair yet
this fall. The meeting was organ
lied by the appointment Of John
Newton as president, and a. c.
TciIt as secretary. After some
time was spent in talking mp the
matter, it was resolved 10 hold IA
fair, and the following gentlemen
were appointed as an executive
committee, to make the arrange
ments for the first agricultural fair
in this county: Geo L. Maltz, G.
w. Richardson, j. X. Lockwood,
J. j. Potter, T. o. Avery and Thos.
Collins, from the city. and John
Newton, Alex. Morris, Albert Mcr-
rill. Geo. Thwaits, A. Il. Richardson,
N. NJ. Brackinreed aad J. Ellsworth,
from the townships.
The resignation Of \. r. Rich
.ar1son, as president, was received
anil accepted, aud w. II. Potter
was elected president of the Sori-
ETY.. A meeting Of the executive
committee will I've heldattAe Court
Room on Saturday next, at which
time the day for holding the fair
will lie fixed.
This begins to look as If the peo-
pie were really going to have a
fair, and we hope that the citizens
will do all they can to bring about
the desired result, Let the initi-
alive he taken this fall, and then
another year the Society will he
the better prepared To give us the
best exhibition of this kind ever
held on the shore. Alpcna county
possesses the whcrcwithal to make
an excellent agricultural show, and
the community is now ripe for the
enterprise in that direction.
We would suggest TO the execu-
tive committee the propriety of
procuring the use of the rink for
the exhibition this fall. The.build-
ing is large and can probably be
arranged in manner capable OF
supplying the want for building
this season.

encouraging news was received I'M
ill about ten o'clock in the evening
when a message was received from
the Captain to his wife, stating that
he had reached port in safety.
The Almeda was towed into Port
Huron Saturday night by the tug
Oswego, having lost part of her
deck load. And the Light Guard
was towed in by the tug Mocking
Bird, about midnight. She was
wateI'logded, her stern knocked
ont, and was sunk below her decks.
Her crew, with two women, were
forty-eight hours without food, and
were badly nsed mp.
OTHER WRECKS.
The steamer Peal went ashore at
Fairport, o., on Friday, and one
man was drowned.
The schooner G.. III. Wand, bound
for Chicago, light, went ashore at
Sand Beach, on Friday, a total
wreck. All hands saved.
At Port Saniac G. NJ. Oldfelds
wharf was carried away by the
heavy sea, and about 5000 worth of
flshermen's rigs, which were on the

The Late Storm.

The storms on the lakes last
week were attended with no little
loss of property and life, OCCASION
ed by the wrccking of vessels and
the drowning of crews. While IN
the past Alpena has been particu-
larry fortunate with her crafts,
when we take into consideration
the number that sail from this port.
and we may have cause to feel
thankful that we have been thus
fortunate, we are called upon to
note the mishap to the steam barge
East Saginaw and her tow, which
left this port last week. 1t seems
that when the vessels had arrived
off Forester they were struck. hy
the gale, and the wind being so ter
ilIic, it was found impossible for the
East Saginaw to manage the tow,
which consisted of the harges La
throp. Genesee Chief, Light Guard
and Almeda, and they soon broke
loose from the steam barge and
were at the mercy of the wind and
wave. The officers of the barges
exerted every effort to save their
crafts, and taking everything into
consideration they did remarkably
well. The East Saginaw sprung a
leak aud was forced to make for Port
Huron, leaving the barges to take
care of themselves. The barge
Genesee Chief was afterwards pick
ed up and towed into Port Huron
by the tug Wilcox. She was found
at anchor near Kettle Point, on the
Canada side, and was leaking CON
siderably, and had lost about hall
of her deck load, her cabin, stear-
ing gear and anchor. The Captain,
Albert Westwald, was badly injur-
ed about the head and face, 10y the
pilot house falling on him, and his
wife, and the cook, Susan Lanzon,
were also badly hurt by the cabin
falling on them.
Considerable anxiety was felt in
this city in regard to the fate of the
Lathrop. of which Capt Harring-
ION of this city is master, aud tele-
grams were flying over the wires
