Drowned.

Last Saturday Il young man by the
name of Anthony Mahan, employed Oh
Smith Brothers dive, on Pigeon river,
WIS accidentally drowned. As near us
we can get the particulars, he went out
on the logs alone, taking his pevey with
him, and must have fallen in among the
logs, anu Was not able 20 save himself.
Sunday they undertook to look for him,
but the day was so cold that not much
could be done; the party, however,
found his Devey. The body was not re-
covered until Tuesday, when rope was
attached to it, with which it was fastened
to stake, and coroner sent for to hold
an inquest. The Coroner thought that
under the circumstances an inquest was
not necessary. and did not go. Wednes.
day Charles II. Smith went up with q
tug to bring the body down. We be.
lieve the relatives of the young man live
i'm Pennsylvania.

Fruit Prospects.

The severe change in the weather last
Sunday and Monday it was feared would
severely injure if not destroy the pros
poets for fruit Of all kinds the coming
season. Advices, however, from dilitr-
ent localities seem to indicate th"t
although some Injury was done, there is
yet reason TO hope for favorable crop
of al, kinds of fruit. The Detroit Posi-
and Tribune has dispatches from eighteen
fruit growing counties in the state, tn,
majority OF which indicate the damage
to the buds was not near SO serious !; s
might have been expected. Peaches
cherries and grapes seem to have suffer
ed the most, put not sufficiently &c
destroy the hope OF Il fair crop of eacI
Apples anu pears seem 10 have been bu
little effected, so that if tie stale is not
later visited with freeZ ng weather tie
chances are that none need not suffer
for want of fruit.

for the purpose OF erecting toy signal
and lighthouse in the straits of Mackinaw
for the benefit of lake marine passing

prOach to the harbOr of Mackinaw. This

From our exchanges We gather the
following information iE regard to the
lumber market.
At Detroit the market'was quiet, but
stocks were light ami the trade fully
sympathized with the increased firm
ness of views manifest elsewhere for the
product.
At Chicago the market was active and
firm. Some dealers say they are getting
all the orders they can attend to. and
talk of putting up the price of common
stuff. The small receipts by lake have
no influence OH the market. Ii is not
expected that there will be any lumber
at the wholesale docks before April.
Relative to the Saginaw valley markets
the Bay City Lumberman OF last week
says; There have been number of sales
made ut this end of the valley during the
past week. Prices have ranged from
5000 80. $l2@l3, and S2S@3O. We learn
from East Saginaw that sales aggregat
ing nearly 100000 have been made in
that city. Prices paid there have be"r
the same as paid here. That paper says
that they have heard of no sales at les:
than Sc, $12 and $50. The quantity o.
lumber which has changed hands during
the past week would have been much
larger were bueyrs fully convinced tina
manufacturers will not make concessions
from tile rates asked. If any concession
has to be made, it looks to us at presen
as if it would be OH the part OF pu:
chasers, and that figures will range still
higher for dry stocks.

Novel Remedy for Drunkenness.

In the course of a conversation with
Mr.. Benedict Prieth, of the Freie lei
ting, on the Law and Order Associa-
tion of Newark, a reporter of the Id
UertiSer learned few facts pertaining
to the German and Austrian method of
treating drunkenness which are worthy
of becoming generally known. In both
of these countries, said the gentleman,
such an order as the one in question is
unknown, and yet drunkenness is sue
cessfully handled. In reply to the in
quiry, how is this donep the statement
was made: Every drunkard is socially
ostracized, and regarded as a sort of
leper with whom there is to be no fell
lowship. His name is published in the
papers, so that the fact becomes gen
orally known that he is thus cut off from
all pleasant associations with the world.
No one is allowed.to sell him any liquor
under penalty of heavy fine. Should
such drunkard, whose name has thus
been published, enter beer garden,
sober or intoxicated, he would be shun-
ned by those present, no matter whether
he be rich or poor, and his wants in the
drinking line ignored. In addition to this
the drunkard forfeits all his civil rights.
he Is TeRuIuou aS Ho" COHtPoo "'o"''o
and consequently disqualified to attend
to the transaction of any business. An
officer of the city, with functions some
what similar to those OF our surrogate,
takes charge of his est.te, If he has one,
and appoints guardian for him, as is
done here in cases of lunacy, etc. This
plan tends TO check the evil of drunken
ness much more effectively than any
system in force in this country. Mr..
Prieth represented that if this plan could
be adopted here it would lessen the
number of drunkards among US, especi'
ally among the better classes, and that
if licenses were refused to all the low
saloons, and none but respectable places
allowed to remain open, the sale of in
toxicants to drunkards could be discon-
tinued. N. Y. Commercial AdUerttSer'

October returns to the Department OF Ag-
riculture did not materially change the as
pect of the wheat crop as foreshadowed by
the monthly reports of its condition. De-

returns show an aggregate crop Of about
425, 900 900 bushels.
