Garfield.s Farewell to NeighDors.


Last Monday General Garfield left his
home and took the ears at Mentor for
Washington to be inaugurated President.
He was accompanied by his wife, mother,
two sons, daughter, secretaries and ser
wants. As the carriage containing Gen
eral Garfield drove up to the depot plat
form shout went up from three thOus-
and throats, and the band playing Justify
added enthusiasm to the appreciatiye
crowd. After assisting the ladies to
their car, General Garfield returned to
the platform, where Hon. A. L. Tinker, of
Painesville delivered farewell address,
to which General Garfield, head uncover
ed, responded as follows:
Fellow Citizens and Neighbors of Lake
county, thank you for this cordial,
kindly greeting and farewell. You have
come from your homes, than which no
happier are known in this country, from
the beautiful lake side full of all that
makes life happy, to give me your bless
ing and farewell You do not know how
much [ leave behind me Of friendship
and confidence and happiness, but L
know | am indebted to this whole peO-
pie for acts of kindness, neighbOrly
friendship, political confidence and pub
lie support that few men ever enjoyed at
the hands of any people. You are part
of this great community of northern
Ohio, which for so many years have had
no other desire but the good of your
country, no wish but the promotion of
liberty and justice, have had no scheme
but that of building up all that was
worthy of true republic. If were to
search over all the world could not find a
better model of political spirit, aspira-
tions for truth and right, than | have
found in this community during the
eighteen years its people have hOnOred
me with their confidence. | thank the
citizens of this country for their kind
ness, especially my neighDOrs of Mentor;
who have demanded so little Of.me, have
done so much to make my home refuge
and Joy. What awaits me cannot now
now speak of, but shall carry to the
discharge of the duties that lie before
me, to the problems and dangers | may
meet, sense of your confidence and
love, which shall always be answered
by my gratitude. NeighbOrs, friends,
constituents, farewell. Great applause.)

The Legislature.

Wednesday of last week was the last
day for the introduction of bills in the

pose, regular flood of bills being intro
duced. The total number Senate bills

be long one in order to dispose of them.
Among the bills introduced we find
the following having local interest:
Senate bill No. 81, introduced by Senator
Buttars, to extend the time of the land
grant to aid in improving Black river,

many cases to do, please permit me to
say to them through your columns, that
we have just had very pleasant social,
which furnished pleasant evenings
entertainment. and left US with the nice
sum of S22. That. with the addition of
two surprise parties and many other acts
of kindness which have been shown us

The Van Raalte and Her New Route.

Captain Bouchard has been looking up
business for the Van Raalte, on her new
route, between ChebOygan and Manis
tique, and has been in correspondence
with parties at different places along
the route. He has received very encOur-
aging replies and the indications are
that his steamer will at once enter upon
a paying business. He has shown us a
letter from Manistique in reply to one
inquiring as to the inducements in that
section for sportsmen and tourists. The
letter states that for fishing and hunt
ing that part of the country cannot be
beat, the streams being full of brook
trout and the woods full of deer and 9th
er game and the scenery among the
grandest in the state. 1t describes one
spring that is twenty rods in diameter
and forty feet deep and SO clear that a
ten cent piece lying on the bottom can
be plainly seen. Capt. Bouchard says he
has seen this spring himself, that it is
in stream and the water so clear that
when rowing in boat and coming to it
person is startled as it has the appear
ancs of being a sudden drop in the
water. The captain says the Van Raalte
will carry a number of row boats, tents
and camping outfits for the benefit of
tourists and says that if Manistique has
no good hotel recommendations she
wants to get them, for he calculates on
a large passenger trade between the two
points during the pleasure season.

To the Editor of the NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
There appears to be some misunder-
standing among the residents of the vii
lage with reference to the location of the
main pipes of the water works. Permit
me to say that, as the committee for the
construction of the works have not been
appointed, nor can be until after the
village election, when it will be the duty
of the new council to appoint such COM
mittee, should the electors decide to vote
the amount necessary to construct the
works, it will then be the duty of the
committee to locate the mains in such a
manner as will be most advantageous
for the public good, and for protection
to every house in the village. W. E.S.
Doubtless, this misunderstanding
arose from our giving the location OF
the mains as located by the committee
when figuring upon an estimate of the
cost of the works. Of course this was
the idea of the committee and as such
was not binding upon the council or any
future committee that it might appoint
We endorsed the plan as, in our opinion
covering the ground and providing
under the present situation, adequate
protection to the thickly settled portion
of the village, at the same time stating
that the mains could be extended, al
comparative little expense, asifast as tht
growth of the village demanded. w
have no doubt that the question will b.
well considered by council and an Op
pOrtunity given all citizens to make sug
gestions before any definite plan is de
cided upon.

A blizzard.

Last Saturday afternoon rain storm
commenced and continued until about
noon Sunday when the wind getting
round to the north, it began to snow,
and by night the wind had got into the
northeast resulting in regular "bliZ-
zard,v and Sunday night and Monday
the worst storm of the season prevailed.
The Cheyenne Leader gives the follow
ing description of blizzard" which we
think our citizens will appreciate after
the storm of the first of the week:
There is no clearly stated definition of
the word blizzard" as it is not found
in the dictionaries. It's purely West
erd invention. Blizzard came out since
the dictionaries were built. But thena
blizzard is an unspeakably mean thing.
0hfit so mean. No oneever thinks of a
blizzardwithOuta apoligizing mentally for
touching upon so base subject. What the
cayote is to the hunter, the freighter, the
cowboy, and the miner, the blizzard is
to the average citizen. The blizzard
rakes about as high in meteOrOlOgy as
does the skunk in zoology. And then a
blizzard is the only thing known to his
tory or science that will blow thirteen
ways at once. 1t describes course pre-
cisely like a Scotch plaid. You turn
from a direct line-tO the lee way-Of
the fierce wind in order to catch good
square breath, and the blizzard is there
too, 1t catches you on the point of ex-
halatiOn, just as your lungs are an inn
mense vacuum. Your mouth is open, of
course, and the blizzard suddenly fills
you so full of wind that nothing but a
heavy conscience prevents Won from
soaring alOft at once like balloon. You
feel miserable and tighter'n bass drum.
You want to swear, but you haven't time
Your only relief is to strain the blizzard
through your fingers. ..-.

Rolling Grain i'm the Spring.

If farmers would look at the theory
OF rolling the wheat and the rye fields
IN the spring, it would be resorted to
much more frequently than it is. Occa-
sionaliy the winter and spring have been
so favorable to these crops as not to
render 1t necessary. But in three sea-
sons out OF four it is necessary and
Doubtless adds considerably to their pro-
auctlveness. The thawings and freez-
ings OF the ground, throwing or spew-
ing out the roots and exposing them to
the drying winds of February and
March, very seriously affect the grain.
RAISING roller over as soon as the soil
is ut to 60 upon, presses back the roots
INTO their beds, and gives them a fair
grip again upon the support on which
the crop must depend. This must be
apparent to every one who will look at
Its operation. We have no doubt that
rolling clover fields, which have been
badly thrown up by the frost, would
also have most beneficial effect. When
the season comes round when work is
TO De done, it is best to call attention to
these things, or it will pass and the adj
Vantages be lost Germantown 1,ele.

a small island few hundred wards

rabbits, and could be reached at low
tide by wading. AS the fishermen

appearance of being drowned. They
picked it UP and threw it into their boat.

the main land the boat no sooner struck
the shore than the fox bounded out and

The conclusion is that the fox had
crossed over to the island during the
night, when the tide was low, in search
OF rabbits. and finding in the morning
that he was cut off from the mainland.

ton OF thereby procuring passage to
