Alpena and Gaylord.

The distance by the State road
laid out between Alpena and Gay
lord, at the head of Otsego Lake,
the present northern terminus OF
J. L. & S. R. R., Is sixty-nine
miles; twenty-six miles Of the road
between Alpens and Godfrey's
farm, in the upper burnings, are
completed, and whatever it may
become "after many days. through
too little care or too much travel,
it is to-day good ten-mile-an-hour
pike for team Of fair steppers.
From Godfrey's farm, ten miles
west, the road is under contract
work thereon Is being vigorously
pushed, and the Job is to be COM
pleted this fall. From Gaylord the
road Is completed ten miles east In
the direction Of Alpena, leaving only
o link of twenty-three miles, half
of which will be built in 1880 and
the remainder in 1881. Care has
been taken in establishing this line
to follow only such route as lee
through q good agricultural coun'
try, that the road might be made
the means of opening to settle
meut and civilization as far as pos
sible the valuable but inaccessible
farming lands Of Montmorency, OF
sego, and portions OF Alpena coun
ties. Along the whole distance, ex
eept in the burning" the land i
heavily timbsred With beech, maple

Der unmistak ably indicating fruit
full aud enduring soil. The cour
try is undulating, free alike fror
plains and swsmps, well watereC
admirably adapted to the growt
of wheat and such crops as fouris
best on new farms in the burr
land district. The next county

this road completed, the whole di

northwest, followed by clearing
weather and westerly winds as the
storm passed to the Q. n. Q.
This storm must have covered
large area of country, and proba-
bly, affected a space north ana
south of it's center, Of from five
to eight hundred miles, while from
east TO west of its center must have
been near two hundred miles or
more, for storms in the United
States are said to travel side fore
most, in consequence OF which
they cover over larger portion OF
country north and south than they
do east and west. The storm here
was quite severe both in wind and
rain. From II NJ. of the Bird to
12M. of the 4th, Sic miles of wind
passed over this station, reaching
a maximum velocity of % miles
per hour at A A. M. on the 4th,
from the northwest, an average We
locity Of nearly % miles per hour
during the "a hours named above.
There was 2.S5 inches Of rainfall
which in snow would have been
equal to more than two feet on
level. This storm or cyclone was
a remarkable one, for it is seldom
a storm originating near the egua-
tor ever reaches so far north as 40
or so degrees of latitude. Our
storms more frequently coming
from the plains of Dakota, near
Yankton or Fort Sully. No dam
age has been heard from in our
immediate vicinity, but the excel
lent harbor of Thunder Bay had
several large schooners riding safe
" at anchor on the morning Of the
4th, having taken shelter during
the evening of the 3rd. The
damage at or near the storm CEN
ter. was considerable, as will be
seen reported by the daily papers
of the 4th and 5th.
The storm of Sunday and Sun
day night last, was the severest for
its amount of rainfall that has ever
been known since the signal office
began to keep daily record. Du-
ring the rain storm the enormous
amount Of 3.6s inches fell, and the
wind at IL P. NJ, Sunday night,
reached a maximum velocity OF 30
miles per hour. The total rainfall
Of September for the years 1873 to
1873, will be found below, which
will show that we have already had
more rain than the entire month
gave in 1873, 1874, 1876, and 1871
while 1875 and 1873 amounts tc
more; but still we have only 7 days
in this month that has passed, ant
it has already given us more rai'
than the average for the past si1
years. The average was 5.4S in
ches, and the rainfall for first sever
days of September was 6.53 inches
Rainfall for September, 1873, STA inches.

Origin and Direction Of our Late
Storm.

NlOTti.
BY Sergeant Barwick, L. s. Signal Corps
The storm Of last Wednesday
was a continuation of a cyclone
from near the equator. Severe
storms at sea are called cyclones,
while the same atmospheric dis
turbances on land are called storms,
tornadoes or hurricanes, owing to
the amount of destruction caused
by them.
The storm that reached Alpena
on the 3rd, originated in the West
Indies, as a cyclone, in about 10 or
IL degrees north latitude. At that
latitude, storms travel in wester-
ly direction slightly inclined north
ward; near 25 degrees north lati-
tude their course is about north
west; near 30 degrees north lati-
tude the course is almost due
north; after leaving 80 degrees
north latitude the course of such
storms are to the north of east or
northeast. Such storms In their
course usually describe parabola.
The storm under consideration
did so by originating in the West
Indies and travelling to the n. n. W.
until reaching the coast Of the
United States, where it's center

gan City, doing damage Of over
100000 to crops, boats, houses,

let it be said of Tennesseeans, who
have shown their capacity to en-
dure privations and make sacrifices
in the past, that they have lost the
spirit of men In these latter days,
and that they show themselves
children when they confront diff
culties. Let US be men and discard
the leadership of knaVes and fools.
WE copy the following editorial
from the Baltimore San in refer
ence to a fourishing Southern in
dustry, in the hope that it may fur
nish valuable suggestion to some
of our Tennessee capitalists:
THE net earnings of the Eagle and
Phe ak Cotton Manufacturing Com
pany, of Columbus, Ga, for the year
Just closed amounted to l04 per cent.
on the capital stock of 81 ,137 340 Six
per cent. was paid in dividends, and
the remainder was added to the re-
serve fund. The Gales since January
l, 1879, have been 81 per cent. and col
lections over so per cent. in excess Of
same time last year. The Company
has now on hand SIG, 900 in cash, and
395 bales of cotton that cost less than
eight cents per pound. Another mill
recently finished will double the ca
pacity of the factory at materially les.
sened cost OF production. The assets
of the Company are 2,S2S, 731, and
the liabilities 81 ,247 $50, leaving a
surplus of ST. .581 ,481, including the
quick capital, available in sixty days,
of 1881 ,493. The Columbus Inquirer,
Sun shows what q great benefit this
factory has been to Columbus as well
as to the stockholders. The total num-
Der of employees is about 1000, and
there are nearly 5000 people drawing
support from the workings of this cor
poration, which pays cut $500 900 an
nually for wages. The products en-
brace over $50 varieties of goods, and
the daily consumption is forty three
bales Of cotton and 800 pounds of wool.
Paying over one-sixth of the State
and county taxes paid in Muscogee
county, and over one-twelfth of the
city taxes paid in Columbus, the bur
dens of the public have been greatly
lessened by this successful enterprise"

III DAILY CHRONICLE, and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE,
will be kept up during the year
1879 to their usual high standard.
BY enterprise, accurateness, and
close attention to the wants of our
readers, we hope to merit a contin-
uation of the liberal patronage
heretofore extended these journals.
Nearly nine years ago, when
there was not Republican daily in
the State, and only two or three in
the South, we commenced the pub
LEGATION of the CHRONICLE. In all
these years We have battled for Re
publican principles, and see no
reason to change our course now.
Hence we shall continue to publish
a truthful, reliable Republican
journal, not the organ of any man
or clique, but the outspoken and
fearless advocate of principles,
measures and men, best calculated
to promote the welfare of the
country and the Republican party.
We will endeavor to make our
agricultural columns worth more to
farmers than our subscription price.
AS newspaper our publications
shall not be excelled in the State.
In addition to our Geographic dis
patches from all parts of the world,
our readers shall have the benefit of
correspondence and every other
means through which reliable infor>
nation is obtained,
Each number of the paper will
contain selections made with special
reference to the home circle. We
will continue to avoid everything
calculated to contaminate, and will
publish paper that may be taken
without question within the sacred
precints of the family circle.
Our market reports shall have
close attention, and be made entire
ly correct and reliable.
We call upon all persons inter-
ested in the publication of our in
dependent, fearless, reliable Repub-
lican journal to come to our aid and
assist in extending the circulation
of the DAILY CHRONICLE and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE.
In view of the financial pressure
upon the country and the general
reduction of values, we have decided
to reduce the price of the WEEKLe
WING AND CHRONICLE to suit the
times. In the future we will send
our weekly paper to subscribers on
the following.
