The Death.rate of

Our country is getting to be fearfully
alarming. the average of life being lessen
ed every year, without any reasonable
cause, death resulting generally from the
most Insignificant origin. At this season
of the year especially, cold is such a
common thing that in the hurry of every
day lite we are apt to overlook the dam
gers attending it and often find too late,
that fever or lung trouble has already
set in. Thousands lose their lives in this
way every winter, while had BoSShee's
German Syrup been taken, cure would
have resulted, and large bill from a
doctor been avoided. For all diseases of
the Throat and Lungs, Bosshee's German
Syrup has proven itself to be the greatest
discovery of its kind in medicine. Every
Druggist in this country will tell you OF
its wonderful effect. Oyer $4,000 bottles
sold last year without single failure

A Handsome Income For An Energetic
Lady or Gentleman.
The Ohio Scale " orks of Cincinnati
have just completed and are now intro
ducing to the public handsomely fin
ished family scale, an article that has
always been needed in every household,
and in a communication addressed to
the publishers of this paper the proprie-
tors ask us to refer them to some relia-
bic party, to introduce it for them to the
people OF this county. 1t is very seldom
that new article steps so suddenly in
to universal favor Housekeepers are
loud in its praise. it is always ready,
there are no weights to get lost or to be
hunted up, is reliable, and will not get
out of order. The description of them
is a handsome base surmounted by a
column in which works spiral spring
so scientifically adjusted as to weigh
anything up to twelve pounds with per-
feet accuracy, on the top of the column
is the platform on which the articles to
be weighed are placed, and they have an
adjustable Indicator so that you can take
the tare of any vessel you may use in
weighing. giving you the exact net
weight. HOuse-keepers at once see their
value in weighing fruits, sugars, and
other ingredients used in preserving.
cooking etc., or in testing the weights of
purchases from others.
The scales are of all brass, are highly
polished and are finished in a skillful
manner. They are very attractive and
take the eye of every one who sees them.
1t seems to us that nearly every family
in this county will want one, and is GER
tainly rare opportunity for some smart
and energetic party to pick up quite a
nice little income during the next few
months. The company has agents in
other counties who are easily making
from So 90 to 5000 per day selling them,
and we would recommend parties IN
need of employment to drop the Ohio
Scale Works, No. 125 and 127 Central
Avenue. Cincinnati, o., a postal card,
and all information etc., will be cheer
fully given them by mentioning our
paper.

Chippewa County Lands.

Representative Jackson, of this district,
has prepared bill instructing the Board
of Control to restore to market all the
state swamp lands in six townships in
Chippewa county, containing an aggre-
gate of $4,000 acres, of the lands reserved
for the Marquette &c Mackinaw railroad.
Before any of the lands can be sold the
applicant will be required to make an af-
fidavit that it is his intention to become
an actual settler upon and to improve
and cultivate the lands, and having done
so he may receive contract for deed
which will be executed upon the fulfill
ment of all the conditions specified. The
contract is not transferable-quite an i'm
portant point. The maximum price af-
fixed to the lands is So 30, the minimum
price 81 per acre, to be paid in four an
nual installments, the first payment to
be when the application for the lands is
filed. All the money received by the
Board of Control for such lands shall be
placed in the State Treasury in trust, to
aid in the construction of the railroad, the
conditions being the same as if the lands
themselves, instead of their price, were
conveyed to the railroad company. Be-
fore patent is issued to the individual,
the Board of Control shall satisfy them
selves by proof that the applicant has re-
NAMED in the actual occupation of the
land purchased, from the date of his pur-
chase, and that he has improved and
drained the same. For the protection of
the squatters upon the lands, it is pro-
vided that they shall have the preference
as presumption purchasers for the period
of six months from the time the act takes
effect. ~
The lands shall be sold in tracts of not
more than 100 acres. The Board may de.
clare any of the contracts forfeited for
failure to comply with any of the provi-
sions of the law.
If any OF the lands remain unsold after
three years from the date of the approval
of the act, they shall revert to the state
1t will be seen that the bill is particular
ly well guarded. and Mr.. Jackson has
taken every pains to prevent the acquisi-
ton of the land by spectators, and to
promote in the highest degree the inter
ests of the state and of Chippewa county

What does the Detroit Evening News
mean by the statement that a member of

that there law maker of this state who
would commit such an indiscretion
on the way there? Had he lost the money

The ChebOygan Log Crop.

For some weeks past many statements
have crept into the state press regarding
the output of logs for Cheboygan for
the present year. We have this week
taken considerable pains to secure accu-
rate information upon the subject and
the following statement may be relied
upon as being substantially correct. We
admit being somewhat surprised at the
magnitude of operations, it being larger
by fully one third than any previous
year. There will be logs enough to
supply every mill in the place to its full
capacity, with perhaps few to spare:
