The Farwell. Mich. Reoiste,. Of a

THE Farwell. Mich, Registe,. Of a
recent date says: Perhaps the most
novel sight ever seen in Michigan
was witnessed here to-day, in the
way of a railroad engine, steamed
up. running through the woods on
common dirt road. This engine
arrived day or two since on the
Flint Il Pere Marquette railroad,
from Pittsburg, made expressly for
their railroad north of this place,
used for hauling logs to the Muske-
g0n river. After its arrival here,
the question was how to get the en-
gine to its destination, soms fifteen
miles distant. Two hundred dollars
having been offered for the job with
out avail, the managers conceived
the plan of getting up steam and
trying the wagon road, which was
put into execution. This morning
steam was gotten up. and the engine
started northward on the Ionia &
Houghton Lake State road at the
west end of the town, with cheers
and hurrahs from the assembled
crowd. It moved off slowly and
steadily without any apparent diff
Guilty, followed by force Of men
with levers, and teams with water
to supply its wants.
The GRAND PIcNIc.-Well, the
grand railway excursion from Al
bany to this city, about which Sc
much has been said, came down
this morning, and at the time we
write is still in the city. It was in
tended originally for the party to go
to East Portland Park. and spend
the day in the cooling shadows OF
its magnificent trees; but, unfortu
/ nately, the winds blew, and the rains
came--great was the wetness there
of; and it was generally concluded
that shade wasn't Just the desirable
thing. The train arrived at ten
o'clock, in the midst of a drenching
shower which has continued with
vigor which excells any shower we
have had for weeks. There was no
help for it, and the six hundred who
came down marched, not into the
jaws of hell, but what wes nearly as
bad, the face Of a fine storm. The
ferryboat soon brought them across
the river, and here they are. A
large proportion of the visitors are
ladies. and as they walk languidly
abont the streets, wet, tired and in a
strange city, the glory and beauty
of the mornings toilet gone, they
present a picture forlorn indeed.
The train will return this eve ming.
Port. Tel. 18Th.
PAINFUL AccIDFNT-On Thurs
day afternoon Mr.. n. L. CrocketE,
an employee of the Knappton saw
mills, met with an accident which
will result in the loss of his left
hand. The accident occurred at the
gang saw, where Mr. G. was en-
ployed cutting laths. as he was en-
deavoring to remove a stick that had
lodged between the saws, and was
cut diagOnally from the thumb to
the wrist. 1t was a most fortunate
circumstance that the steamer Asto-
ria reached Knappton just at the
time of the accident as it enatl d
Mr.. Calender to Immediately pro-
ceed with the sufferer to Astoria,
where medical assistance was secur-
ed in a very short time, the hand
being amputated by Drs. Severn
and Jennings. Mr.. Croeketts' fam
lily have but recently arrived from
the East, and this will be sorry
reception; but the company for
which he is employed will see that
he wants nothing.

mercial Reporter says that P. B.
Cornwall, owner Of the steamship
California, now on the route between
this city and Sitka, has purchased
the steamship Great Republic from
the Pacific Mail Company, and ru-
NOR says that she will be put in the
Portland San Francisco trade. The
Great Republic was for several years
O.. aged in the San Francisco-China
trade. and has carrying capacity OF
$500 tons, or 1,6OO tons more than
the steamship Oregon; and her
great draught of water would GER
tainly prevent her engaging in this
trade 1t would not be practicable
for vessel larger than the Oregon
to take this route according to our
belief.
NAcHEss GOLD MINES. A cores
pondent of the Union says there are
placer mines on the Nachess and its
tributaries being worked, and have
been for the last eighteen months.
But little is known about them, as
it is attempted on the part of the
owners to keep their locality and
prospects a dead secret. They are
SAID to be about fifty miles above
Yakima City. and the digeings sew
enty feet deep, but that the gold is
distributed through the dirt from
the very top. 1t is expected that
the secret of the location and all
about them will seor coH-a oG-.
DIED. Billy Melvin, well
known character on the Sound,
where he has been in the saloon
business for many years, died sud
denly last night at one o'clock, at
the Seattle Saloon, where he has
been employed for some time past.
Billy. during his lifetime, was man
OF great liberality and generosity,
and although Of late years he has
been completely broken down, fl
nancially as well as physically, there
are many who remember him with
warm feelings of gratitude for kind
ness received from him in former
years.

are that the people of this county

THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC.

THE ACADkMN Of MOSICs
Chicago, Feb. 5.-The academy Of music
which burned this morning, was owned by
VIM B. Clapp, who is now in Europe. The
original coet was $4,000, and the improve
ments have been added, which cost $l5, 900; ;
but its actual value was probably not over
$4,000. The insurance is $4,000 distrib-
uted among fifteen companies. Lessee En-
NETT, and Muir, lose about $4,000 in the
senic furniture and other stage parapherna-
liza Their insurance is $4,000. The per-
formers lost their wardrobe,, and the musi-
clans their instruments, and music,
which increases the aggregate loss by about
5000. The fire probably originated in
hot air furnace.

THE LOCAL CANVASS.

One of Our reporters has been for some
days accommodating the sentiments which
prevail upon the streets, and which are freely
expressed on all hands-by Democrats, Ma
tionals and Republicans as well as by dis
gruntled German and Irish politicians. We
make place for it not because we approve
for we do not-but in order that all parties
may see themselves as others see them, and
that the Democrats especially may know
what they have to meet and what influences
to counterfeit. Groundless or not, there is a
dissatisfaction among the Irish voters that is
a serious drawback to the unity that is essen
tial to party success. And we trust to see
our candidates addressing themselves to
the task of conciliating that ele-
ment hitherto so potent in our
political canvasses. Now, more than ever,
the party should be united. The congress
sional and State canvasses are almost upon
Us, and Shelby, to hold her power in the
councils of the State, must be as strong In
her expression of Democracy as possible.
We cannot afford, as we have already said,
to lose one vote. The larger our majority,
the greater our strength in the State conven-
ton. We hope our Irish fellow citizens will
think of this, that they will rise superior
TO the animosities of one or two inconsder-
ate persons, and come up to the support of
the ticket. The people Of Shelby county
have always done well by them, and in Mem
phis, for twenty-one years, they have almost
monopolized the administration of the NUM-
cipal government. A majority of the city
employees to-day are from their ranks. They
have nothing to complain of so far as
the distribution Of offices are concerned. Bet
ter that forty or fifty of their number should
in the employ of the city government find the
means of living than that one, however
worthy, should be elected as their representa-
tive to an Office which yields enough to sup
port ten families in ease and twenty in COM
fort. The days of one man following have
passed. The people are now supreme. Our
Irish fellow-citizens, shrewd and generally
sensible in politics, should remember this, and
recalling the days when our party was as
solid phalanx, repel the Nationalist seducers
and return to the fold where alone they can
find men of their way of thinking and prin-
ciples that are theirs.
