We second tile motion. It can do no

hurt him much. "IIe can't be wrong

Sad Accident.

A sad accident occurred in the
township of Ossineke Oh Thursday
evening last, the result of which was
the death Of John Chapman. 1t
seems that +. ID. Spratt and John
Chapman had been looking over
some pine for ID. ID. Oliver, and ar
rived at their tent, to remain dur
ing tho night. 1t was necessary
to procure water before preparing
supper, ond both men started off
for n creek, some half mile away.
Mr.. Spratt carried with him a rifle,
as he does on all such occasions,
but they had proceeded but few
rods from their camp when the
rife was by some means accidental
ly dicharged, and its contents found
a resting place in the body Of Mr..
Chapman. The ball entered the
body Of Mr.. Chapman at the up
per part of the hip, in front, and
passed around till it lodged in the
lower portion of the abdomen.
Mr.. Spratt Immediately assisted
the wounded man to the tent, went
for water for him, and then pro-
ceed to Ossineke and telegraphed
to Alpena for tug and phyician.
A tug and DR.. Maiden were soon
enroute for the scene OF the ac-
cident, and when the doctor ex-
amined the wound he discovered
the ball near the surface, and ex-
tracted it. Mr.. Chapman lived UNI
til Saturday evening, when death
ended his suffering, and his funeral
took place on Monday. Mr.. Spratt
is always, as We can testify, very
careful man with gun, and he is at
a loss to understand how the piece
was discharged.

AIpcna County at the State Fair.

/ To the Editor Of the ARGUs:

| in regard to our exhibit at the State

account of it:

advice of Mr.. Jas. A. Case, who had
charge of the exhibit last year, expert

sary TO make proper exhibit. / found
the people generally hospitable and VIII
ing TO contribute towards the enterprise.
A few, am sorry to say, did not show
as much enterprise as they should have
done in getting things ready for me (;
even some places where they had made
fair promises and had good crops, they
saved nothing. But the majority, am
happy TO say, responded promptly, and
TO them is all the credit due for the Hue
display that Alpena county was enabled
to place before the people OF Michigan
and other States, as there was quite q
number from Ohio, Indiana, and Canada
interested in our exhibit.

r. B. Taylor, Of Bay City, adj
dressed the Greenbackers Of AL
pena on Thursday evening last,
and during the course Of his re-
marks he made al eloquent plea
against the Republican doctrine
sectionalism and bulldozing. He
said that if it was a crime to have
solid south, it was just as great a
crime to have a solid north. He
spoke in the strongest terms
against the sectional policy of the
Republican party, which he said
was hurtful and destructive to the
Union, and believed that charity,
and a helping hand was far bet
ter weapon to use in the south
than hatred and prejudice. Re-
garding the bulldozing stories Of
the Republicans, that nothern
man could not speak his sentiments
in the south, he stated that 1t was
all a political bugbear, and no truth
in it, for GreenbaclS speakers went
there, spoke as they chose, and
were listened to and protected.
