A spasmodic hail storm is what we
called it; 1t happened yesterday.
The Gar of all the Russia's was as
sassinated at st. Petersburg, on Sun
day last, while riding in his carriage at
tended by an armed guard.
Mr.. Will Hanson, ye man Friday at
the Grayling House, is down with n
severe cold, and Charlie has TO 'chore"
round heaps, now.
Mr.. Anthony F. Geld, Cbetter known
as Big Chris. who has been employed
on the drive on the Manistee river, bid
adieu TO his friends and left for Chica-
go to-day, where, as he informs us, he
expects to engage in business more con-
genial to his taste.
The Mum" Social held at the resi-
dence of w. A. Masters last evening,
was very pleasant, social affair, and
would have been more largely attend
ed, had it not been for the horrid state
of the weather; as it was, hilarity, and
old general jolity ran high, and the
lacteal fluid ran down the good dom
inie's coat sleeve, while w. B. helped
| himself to ''hull' corn" and the big
girls chewed their little pieces of taffy.
While we were out star-gazin' one
evening this week, (there, we just give
ourselves dead away, we heard the
shrill shrek of the locomotive, and i'm
mediately turned our steps in that Iii.
rection, trusting that kind Providence
would lead us in the vicinity of good
local, and that we might be introduced
! to his excellency-whoe ever that might
be-but all in this wide world they
were doing was taking on wood and
throwing off boxes for Finn. Guess
we'd better call round and see what's
in 'em
We received brief call this week
from our travelling friend, Ben. s.
Narrower, who was formerly associated
with the Bay City Tribune, but now
with J. w. Fales & Co., of Detroit.
Ben. told us all about his being showed
i'm four days and four nights long with
some forty nine other travelling boys,
over i'm Wisconsin, and showed us that
little bill OF fare, which ain { SO slow,
being in such close proximity TO so
many snide hotels. Come again, Ben.
One of the men employed in Sailing,
Hanson 4 Co. s lumber camp, cut one
of his feet i'm rather singular manner
one day last week: 1t seems that one
of the men had been using a common
pocket knife and inadvertently left it,
still open, on a box near which the un-
fortunate man had deposit cd his boots
for the night, and by some means il
had fallen into one of the boots with
the blade uppermost, and on the mans
trying to pull it on, the next morning,
lie received an ugly cash in the sole OF
his foot, nearly two inches long, which
will necessitate his retirement from ac
tive labor for a few days.
Things are being stirred up at Fred
ericville on the liquor business, which
has run (from all accounts) disgrace
fully rampant for about three months
past Last week Monday l.. w. Wight
came to town and demanded his name
taken from the liquor bond of his
brother, C. w. Wight. The county
Treasurer then notified c. w. that he
must stop selling, but he went on just
the same. On Friday last a complaint
was lodged against him with the Pros
ecuting Attorney, who, on Monday o.
this week went up to see about the
matter.
Mr.. Frank Hankerson, a young mar
of good repute, located a homestead
last Fall, in Maple Forest, where III
made few improvements, and ther
went outside" for the Winter; but
goodness gracious. you could't keel
him off that homestead. Why, wha
do you suppose well, sir, may we b'
eternally hugged, il he didn't come t.
town day before yesterday, with on
of the incest little wives-yes, Franz
got married. We did not learn tn,
lady's maiden name; but its of no con
sequence now, as it is, we wish then
a bright and happy voyage DER life
tempestuous sea.
