We notice that it is proposed by the
resident management OF the st. Mary's
Falls Ship canal, in their annual report
to the Governor, that the canal shall
construct dry dock, to be operated as
part of the canal. The reasons ad-
vanced for its constr uction and main
tenance are brief. but sufficient. The St.
Mary's river, both above and below the
Sault, is a tOrturOus channel, and difficult
of navigation. Many accidents occur
annually, and no dOnbt will as long as
the river is navigated. A dry dock ut
the Sault would lessen the risk of heavy
losses we're materially, and thereby lessen
the cost of transportation, a matter in
which Michigan is largely interested, as
is the whole northwest. What will be
the result OF the recommendation thus
made can hardly be foretold as yet, bur
we understand that it is the intention to
push the matter and secure the COIL
struction as soon as possible. The man.
agement claim that if the tolls are kept
up at the present figure, three cents per
ton, that a fund sufficient can be realized
in few years. Whe vessel interest, up
on whom the burden of construction
would really fall, being the ones who
would also receive the benefits, will.
without doubt, strongly urge Its con-
struction. 1t is estimated. that the dry
dock complete. of sufficient size for the
accommodation of the largest cliss OF
lake vessels, can be completed a. a cost
of not to exceed $4,000. In the interest
of cheap transportation the money would
be wei expended.

For some days it had been known that
Rev. r. M. Thompson, pastor OF The
Congregational church of this village.
hal rendered his resignation to take eff
feet on or before August first. A meet
ing OF the church and congregation was
called for last Tuesday evening to con
slider the resignation and take action upon
it. but owing to the death of the mother
of MIR. Il. L. VanArsdale the meeting was
postponed until Thursday evening. when
upon the recommendation of the BoaId
of Trustees the resignation was accepted
to take place at once.
Mr.. Thompson, since his pastorate of
the church, has labOred ardently and
efficiently for its welfare and it is to be
deeply regretted that he should have
deemed it best to resign the pas crate.
The church never was i'm more harmo-
NOUS anu prosperous condition than
at the time he rendered his res
ignation and for this il was indebted to
the labOrs OF Mr.. Thompson. In his de-
parture the church and community suf-
fer loss that cannot be estimated and
one which it will be difficult to become
reconciled to. Mr.. Thompson, during his
stay wish the church. has male many
warm friends who will ever bear him i'm
grateful remembrance and wish him the
greatest successes in his labors of love
wherever he may be called.

There will be no preaching at the Con-

school at IL o'clock,
Mr.. II. L. Phillips, Of Detroit, shipped
100 coops of live pigeons OH the propell-
er St. Adams last night for the Detroit
market. 1t was very interesting to visit
the coops of Mr.. Phillips, near Smith
Brothers mill, before this shipment and
see the thousands of pigeons they con-
tanned. Very many of our citizens took
the trouble to pay them visit and
all were Well paid.
The grangers and mitldlemen of the
lower part of the state are still working
hand i'll hand beseiging Congress to con-
struct ship canal across the state. so
that the trade OF Chicago can all be taken
that way. Every countryman in the dis
trict through which the great ditch is to
go has a full knowledge of the dangers
and terrors of the passage through the
straits of Mackinaw, and the way the
nautical phrases are flying around would
make the average sailor weep for Joy.
The canal finished, with railroad tracks
and engines for towing, would costs only
500, 900 900 or so. but the advocates of the
''greatst project I'm the world are not
selfish. They don't expect the money all
at once. They will be satisfied with $15,-
600 this year, and Congress is studying
over the matter. We would suggest that
while Congress is celebrating upon the
matter the nautical g. and m. take council
together and decide whether it shall be
planted, sOwn broadcast or in drills. The
harvest will depend largely upon the
right start being taken.

last Monday G. w. Simpson. of Mack
inaw City, lost a valuable horse by
drowning. He was being used in draw
ing wood in cart on to the dock. when
some OF the wood fell over striking him
and frightening him. lie started out on
the dock OH run, and the driver sue
ceeded in almost checking him when
more wood falling he started up again.
When within short distance OF the end
of the dock, the horse seemed to realize
what the result would be, and endeavor-
ell to stop, sliding along the dock ON his
feet for some distance, but the impetus
was too much for him and carried him
over. 1t is thought the cart and wood
fell upon him, rs he only came to the
surface once. He was not In the water
more than fifteen or twenty minutes be.
fore they got him out. but life was ex
tinct.

Since the desertiOn and burglary at
Mackinaw last Tuesday night. Thomas
Marshall. Marshal OF Mackinaw, has been
on the lookout for the men. He heard
of them over In Emmett County and
learned that there was probability that
they would make an effort to take the
down train yesterday morning, at point
some miles below Petoskey. Securing
the assistance of Sheriff Ingalls,, of EN-
met, they boarded the train and inform.
ed the conductor of their expectations
and intentions. Mr. Marshall being known
to the men, secreted himself in the water
closet, leaving Sheriff Ingalls, on the,
watch. At the place anticipated the men
got on board but seemed TO hesitate
about entering the Car. but the conduc-
tor giving the signal for starting they en-
tered the door when the Sheriff and Mar
shall seized them and ironed them, one
making considerable resistance. They
were wearing some of the stolen clothing
and ON their persons were found q bag
of coppers and a quantity OF bills, the
fruits Of the burglary at the island. The
train was stopped and the party let of.
when they footed It back to Petoskey.
There the prisoners were locked up IN
a room and guarded with the purpose Of
keeping them until the Menominee came
along. Notwithstanding this precautiOn
one of the prisoners called Hike" and,
who is represented as being somewhat Of
u despera,lo, succeeded in making his Is.
cape but as he was ironed IL IS sheuRht
he will be again captured. The other
man, named Cook, was taken to the Isl.
and on the Menominee and Is there tn
Jail. The parties whose places of bust
ness were burglarized hive telegraphed
Sheriff Ingalls, Offering him reward for
the capture of Hike" Much credit Is
due Marshal Marshall tor his success In
following them up and making the cap
ture.

THE ST. LANDRY CASE.

II is q matter of congratulation with the
Democracy of the whole State that the long
and bitter feud in the ranks Of the party, in
the large and important parish of St. Landry,
has been healed, and that the party there
will, for the first time In series of years. act
tremendously and as a unit. We have no
doubt now that the nineteen delegates from
st. Landry will stand at Baton Rouge for a
constitutional convention. The OpeIousas
Courier, one Of the most influential and rep
resentative country papers in the State, is
and has all along been an earnest advo-
cate for convention. The Opelousas Demo
erat, though not so pronounced, we under
stand also to be In favor of this great popular
movement
DR. Robertson, the Senator from the st.
Landry dlstrict, whose term expired at the
last session of the Legislature, opposed, all
through the last session, the convention
movement, and he is an aspirant for renomi-
nation with chances largely in his favor, we

to believe, even now, that all Of
the measures it will be called to consider
will be passed by the next Congress, but the
demand of the convention will make assur-
ance doubly sure. Besides this, its good re-
suits will be felt in many other respects. It
will bring the people of the different and re-
mote communities throughout the country to-
gether and enable them to understand the
identity of interest that exists between them.
It will, specially, go far towards the con-
summation of that alliance between the West
and South, in which alone the safety and pro-
lection of both lie. BY all means, let this
convention be held, and let nothing bespared
to make it grand success.

understand. But this is only another evil
dence of the convention feeling In st. Landry.
Senator Robertson in the late session opposed
both the call for constitutional convention
and any measure iniuriously affecting the lot
terry monopoly: and before the assembling of
the Legislature he told us that he would. in
the then approaching session, pursue that
course. But at the same time he told us
he was firmly convinced that constitutional
convention should be held and that the mon
opolies should be wiped out of existence. He
held however, that there were grave reasons
why that Legislature could not freely act
upon these questions. Hence, he said, great as
he believed the necessity was for a constitu-
tional convention and the repeal of the monopo-
lies he felt that political obligations and sound
policy required that these measures should be
deferred until the assembling of new Legisla-
ture fresh from the people, Then, he told us, he
would be abreast with the foremost men in
the State for constitutional convention and
for the destruction of all monopolles.
Senator Robertson is an energetic and capa-
BILE politician, and we are certain expressed
to us his sincere convictions; therefore we as,
sumo that, II he is nominated and reelected, he
will come back to the Senate determined to
labor with his well known energy and ability
for those important measures to which his
heart and mind were so deeply and sincerely
committed in December, 1877, but which cir
Cumstances and the necessities OF the political
situation led him to oppose while the late
Legislature existed.

by the DEMOCRAT to get possession Of this re-

be had at the court. and we were reduced to
the necessity Of using the feeble synopsis Of
it, which was printed in the evening Times

that Grand Jury has been compelled to
make such report in civilized country.
