Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1880-07-03

Huckleberries have made their appear
ance in town. The indications are that
there will be large crop.
The small boy is jubilant to-day, and
is in his glory shooting fire crackers and
celebrating the glorious Fourth.
Wildman & FOx's New York Comedy
company have issued a famous bill for
their performance this evening and we
have no doubt they will be greeted with
crowded house.
II. ]. A. Todd put up flag staff on his
building to-day that he thinks will sus-
tain the names of Hancock and English,
weighted down as they are by the party
that nominated them.
F This number closes volume five of the
TRIBUNE. For the many hearty commend
tions and cordial support we have re-
ceived from the citizens Of ChebOygan
and vicinity we are thankful.
The engineer employed by the Council
to survey and submit plan of sewer
age for the village has been getting
grades, &C., this week, and will probably
report the result at the regular meeting
OF the Tuesday evening.
The Board of Supervisors at their meet
ing last week, by vote of five to three,
granted permission to the township of
Grant to construct a bridge over Black
line of sections rs and 35, i'm town 81
one west crosses the river.
We understand that as soon as the
railroad dock at Point st. Ignace is COM
pleted a locomotive will be brought to
be used in the construction of the track.
1t is now, or will be soon, at LudingtOn,
The tug Saugatuck, with barge, will
bring it from there to the Point.
The first fast mail service in the South
will shortly be established under the ap-
preparation for that purpose by the last
Congress. The routes will be between
New York and Jacksonville and New
York and New Orleans. The new service
will be put into operation as soon as the
yellow fever season has passed.
A sermon apropos to the the day will be
preached at the Congregational church
Sunday morning. In the evening at eight
O'Clock, the present hour OF services, a
sacrO-patriOtic concert will be given.
The church will be appropriately trim
med with cOlOrS and flowers. Let all
lovers of music be present and help swell
chorus of praise.
Henry ]. A. Todd undertook to hoist
the first Hancock and English streamer,
i'm our village, yesterday but the flag
staff, which had bore the stars and
stripes many time and iOated the ma
tiOns banner through many breeze,
had to succumb to the weight of those
names and down came Streamer and all,
a fitting omen of the fate of the hopes of
the Democracy after the election next
November.
S. Fl. Taylor, census enumeration for
the town of Benton, has posted notices
that he will be at the Court House on the
9Th. and 10th. instS., Friday and Satur-
day of next week, for the purpose of re-
viewing the census roll and affOrding an
opportunity for our citizens to correct
any omissions that may have been made.
If any know of any names that have
been overlooked this is the time to have
them enumerated.
Canadians are not little annoyed at
the large emigration from the Dominion
to the United States. 1t is stated that
$1,000 Canadians have left Ontario during
the last eight months, and that nearly
all of them have located permanently
this side the line. This class too, it is
said, is made up of the best of farmers
and mechanics, who are dissatisfied with
the government andIthe slow progress and
the steady increase of the public debt in
Canada. ----e--
The State Board of Control met last
Wednesday and it is expected that con-
tract was closed with the Black River
Slack Water navigation company for the
improvement of the Black river rapids
and which will enable the company to
select the lands, donated by the state in
Faitf0 Of the improvement, and have them
reserved. We hope to see the company
speedily take some action looking to an
early commencement of the work as it is
much needed improvement.
We see from the Mackinac Sentinel
that the Fourth of July committee hav-
ing charge Of the celebration at the
island passed resolution requesting the
TRIBUNE to publish the programme of
the day. This we would have cheerfully
done but the first we knew of the request
was from the Sentinel this morning and
space will not permit. The programme
is generally known here and we have no
doubt large number of ChebOygan peO-
pie will join with our neighbOrs in cele-
brating the day next Monday.
