Tyler.--Denton Sellick.

About the frat of this month,
Frederick Burnham, Of Pressure
Isle, was taken very i'll and be-
came delerious. His case was con-
sidered Of so serious a nature that
he was taken to the insane asylum
at Pontiac, on the 9th, where he
remained, growing worse instead
Of better, until the 18th, when
death put an end to HE sufferings.
The superintendent Of the asylum
telegrsphed to Mr.. Burnham's
family. on the 18th, but as Alpena
is the nearest point available, and
there were no opportunities to send
the message direct, " was placed
in the postoffice in this city, and
was not received by the family of
the deceased until the 23rd, AFTER
Mr.. Burnham had been consigned
to his last resting place. Mr.. Burn
ham came to Presque Isle in the
year 1874, and since that time
has been identified with the civil,
political and business history of
Pressure Isle county, and is known
~ almost every resident in the
ounty. He leaves q widow and
even children, most Of whom are
'rown up.

AT present, the prospects are
quite favorable for a railroad to
Alpena, providing that the citizens
of Alpena do not themselves work
against the enterprise, as has GER
tainly been done in the past. There
is not another city the size of Al
pena in the State that needs the
benefit of a railway more than Al
pena does.

at one of the lumber camps the
deer are reported 80 thick that the
boys are apt to run against them
in tho dark. This is not a fish
story, but is either n very little
stretched, or else, since the expi-
ration of the time, set by law, for
killing game, the deer are inclined
to be somewhat sancy, and stick up
for their rights.

some movement tending toward
placing a good line of steamers on
the shore route.

Detroit Free Press.

A recent number of the Detroit
Daily Free Press consisted of
twenty pages, seven columns to the
page, making lao columns. The
type measured S0l,S75 ems. As
an ordinary book of 100 pages
contains only aOont 225, 900 ems.
1t will thus be seen that the F rec
Press for one day was equal to
over three ordinary octave VOL
umes Of $50 pages each. How
such an immense amount OF mat
ter can be printed and sold for on
ly live cents seems q mystery es-
pecially as large part of the
matter contained in the paper con-
sisted Of costly telegraphic news
from all parts of the world. The
cost OF setting sol 1885 ems Of type
aJ % CTS per thousand ems would
amount to s2Sl.66. Then there is
the telegraphic expenses, amount
paid correspondents, editors wages,
pressmen and stereotypers' wages,
paper, ink, etc, etc, which Ger.
tainly must have made the ex.
pense of getting out the one Dali,
Free Press at least $4,000, an
thus the reader, for five cents, get
what would cost $4,000. The De
troit Free Press is a Michigan On
terprise, having gained a NOR
than national reputation, and de
serves the cordial support Of tn
people of Michigan.
