NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 5, 1881.

Mr.. j. IL. futile, OF Uncle Sans fur
niture store, has new ad. this week.
A large and well conducted dance
was held at the town hall Thursday eve
ming.
Mr.. FRIEDMAN, who recently purchas-
ed the Kurtzman building will &C.
cupy the same to-day, intending to rent
his old stand.
VIM. Erratt and Squire Fife spent a
few days the fore part of the week in a
futile chase after the timid deer. They
returned Wednesday bringing in 10
deer.
The funeral of Leonard Crawford. of
Crawford Quarry, was held at that place
last Monday at 2 p. M, Rev. L. c. Rogers
officiating. A large cOncourse of people
attended the services.
Our roads and streets have strong
resemblance to the ones found in Indi-
ana only the mud isn't quite as blue as
there, but then we are not quite as near
Guiteau's final destination as that state.
Mrs. Matt Kessler suffered severe in
jury Tuesday evening. She was lying
down and got up to pick up one of her
children when she fell oyer some OBJ
structiOn and broke her wrist.
Our sportsmen are at present having
fine time in the woods. Deer are re-
ported plenty in the vicinity of Black
lake and other portions of the county
while the head of Mullet lake, Burt and
Black lakes are literally swarming
with ducks.
Last Sunday one of the fremen on the
Algomah paid the propeller Lawrence a
visit and when leaving, the gang plank
slipped off and dumped the man in the
river. He chung to the plank and the
mate of tho Lawrence threw him a
heaving line and fished him out with
out damage, save the ducking.
We fear that some Of the boys of our
town will meet with serious accident
around some of the railroad trains.
Nearly every train that comes mis- visit
ed by large numbers who jump on and
off while the cars are in motion. The
result will be, if they keep on doing it,
that some of them will lose some of their
limbs, or, perhaps their lives.
Last Monday night was Halloween
and was duly observed by some OF the
"boys," much to the annoyance of some
of our citizens. Some of their pranks
deserve severe condemnation and the
perpetrators, if found out. should be pun
ished. Tuesday morning one of our
citizens found that all nuts had been re-
moved from the axles of his wagon.
The county board of school examiners
at their session last week granted IL
certificates. There were 26 applicants
and the result considering the
nature of the examination makes
a pretty good showing. Those who
passed and now have a right to in
still useful knowledge into the rising
generation are Sidney Brownburger
Lottie Loucks, Eliza Mcdonald, Jessie
Shadbolt, John Heaphy, Ellen d. Bar
bour, Florida Brownburger, Mary Bar
bour, Agnes Eggglefield, Angie Stewart
Kate Mcdonald and Edith Ramsay.
The construction train is in almost
every day. Saturday and Sunday sever
al car loads Of timber, plank, shingles,
sc. were brought in an unlOaded to be
used in the construction of the round
house, planking platforms Sc. They
also brought large quantity of tele-
graph wire. The telegraph poles are
scattered along the line of the road and
it is expected that within few days
the line will be completed through to
ChebOygan. Iron for side tracks at the
depot is OIL the ground and the work of
ballasting the road is being pushed for
ward. The balIasting to Indian River
we understand is nearly completed.
Our enterprising groceryman, John
Becker, after noticing the want here of
large and varied stock of crockery has
put in line of those goods that for va
riety and completeness lays over any
collection ever exhibited here before.
He has every grade in that line includ-
ing American, French, Chinese and
English, also every style whether plain,
painted or decorated. He makes a
speciality of the American brand and
