ton is therefore four days earlier
than any other year.
The last boat to leave Alpena, in
1879, was the schooner Butts,
which cleared for Bay City on the
10th of December. Between the
close of navigation in 1879, and the
opening in 1880, there were only
sc days.
Sunday night, the 7th, about
eight o'clock, the steamer Metrop-
oils, from Bay City, steamed into
the river and made fast to John
sons dock. On board were q large
number of passengers and consid-
cradle freight. The weather was
very cold, but Notwithstanding
the chilly blasts of winter, a large
crowd of citizens assembled to
greet her, some for curiosity, and
some to meet friends. Nearly all
met with a first class cold. The
Metropolis brought up the mail
which would have come by stage
Monday night. No ice was en-
countered on the passage up, ex-
cept in the bay, but the boat show
ed abundant evidences Of the cold
weather, in the shape of ice cling
ing to her sides. The passage up
was somewhat rough.
About 9 o'clock Monday morn
ing, the Metropolis cleared for Bay
City, Captain Ripley bel ng in COM
mand, but when out about twelve
miles, she encountered large field
of solid new ice, some three in
ches thick, which proved an effe CT
ual barrier to her further progress,
and she was obliged to run back to
this port and wait for the cold
wave to pass. On her way back
she had to cut her way through
ice one inch thick, that had made
since she had left port that morn
ing.

SPECIAL.

Citizens of Alpena, please consider
the advantages of beautiying your town
by planting Lombardy Poplars in front
of your dwellings, and along the streets
of your prosperous city. Think OF the
cold, bleak winds that rage from the
lake, and will from the land when II is
cleared up, driving Jack Frost through
every fiber, and searching every crack
and creyls. Think of Old King Sol as
he sends forth his scorching rays In mid
summer, and no shade to retreat from
his whitening grasp. Plant out Lom-
hardy Poplars, and in few years those
majestic trees will tower above your
city, bidding defiance to bleak winds,
tornadoes and King Sol. Twill remain
but few days to receive orders for trees,
fruit and small fruits, shrubbery. etc.
Please give your orders at once.

A young man by the name of
William Kotz, coachman for Mr..
Charles Mcclellan, came to my
store one morning complaining that
his feet hurt him very badly, and
expressing fears that they were
frost-b;tten. He had in vain tried
to get relief 10y consulting physi-
clans, and had endeavored without
success, to ease the pain by rub
hing his feet with snow and ice,
the remedy applied in such cases.
Being exposed a great deal to the
cold by his occupation, his feet got
worse daily, until one day he faint
ed in the street. A few days after
he again came to my store and
showed me his feet. / have seen a
great many sores in my life, but
nothing to equal this, and was
afraid the poor fellow would lose
his limbs. He asked me for ST..
Jacobs Oil; but first / refused,
as / did not wish to take the re-
sponsibility upon myself, not being
a great admirer of so-called Patent
medicine. However, some friends,
who happened TO be in the store at
the time, begged me give the St.
Jacobs Oil to the sufferer; go we
rubbed his feet well with the Oil,
and he took the remainder with
him. After nine days the same
man again came to my store, per-
fecuy well, and requested me to
write to you of this most wonder
full cure; he also stated, that two
other persons had been cured OF
rheumatism by the same bottle
which helped him.
