A large audience was in attendance at
the Congregational church last Sunday
evening to hear Rev. Parker's sermon on
Lessons to be learned from the life and
death of Senator Chandler" That those
present were interested was manifested
by the close attention they paid to the
sermon.
Capt. Eli Bourchard, father of Capt.
E. A. BOuchard, of the steamer Mary,
died at Staten Island. N. Y, on the 18th
ult, aged 81 years. Previous to his
death he was the oldest lake captain
living. He was pilot in the U. S. revenue
service for number of years. He came
to Mackinac in 1880, to which place his
remains will be brought for interment
at the close of navigation.
There are number of boys around
town that are in training for the Reform
School. Nearly every evening they con-
gregate about the pOstOfice, about the
time for the arrival of the mail, and en-
deayOr to see how much they can annoy
Postmaster Ford and citizens waiting
for mail. If their parents won't see
that they behave themselves the Village
Marshal should take them in hand.
Rev. ]. Homer Parkersleft on the Mary
Wednesday for Chippewa county to or
ganize Congregational church at set
Element some few miles from the Sault.
He went at the request Of Rev. Leroy
Warren, State Superintendent of Home
Missions, who had been written to by a
number of the residents of that locality.
In consequence of his absence there will
be no preaching at the Congregational
church tomorrow.
The necessity for deepening the chan
mel of our harbOr was never more appar-
ent than this week. Several of the larger
class of schOOners sailing the lakes have
loaded here during the week and all
were compelled to tow outside before
they could complete their cargo. Before
any other work is done on the harbor we
think the channel should be deepened so
as to admit of these large vessels taking
on full cargo inside the harbOr and
getting out without any difficulty.
We would call attention to the pros
pectus of the Detroit Post and Tribune
for 1880, to be found in another column.
The reputation of this journal is such
as to need no commentator from us. In
former political campaigns it has done
good service, and as next year bids fair
to be one of unusual interest, politically,
no Republican can we'll do without the
old reliable Post and Tribune, and to our
Democratic friends we would say, take
the Post and Tribune, it will DO you
good.
The Detroit Evening News says the
trustees of the soldiers monument held
a meeting at Secretary Romeyn's Office
Tuesday, and decided to accept Randolph
Rogers offer to complete the four re-
mainiug bronze statues at Rome within
fifteen months, at a cost of $4,000. A
reply in the affirmative has been cabled
to Mr.. Rogers at Rome, and the work of
completing the four remaining allegori-
cal statues and casting them in bronze
will be Immediately commenced.
The PetOskey Record says the old hotel
at Crooked lake has been fitted up and
will be run next season by its proprietor,
Charles Hayden, of East Saginaw, Ar
rangements are also being made to put
the lots at that place in market, the vii
lage having been plated two years since. |
There is now good store at that point, |
and as soon as roads are established to
the village it will become headquarters |
for large extent of country. The only
modes of ingress or egress, barring
trails, now are the wooden railroad, and |
the line of steamers to Cheboygan.
