State for 1880. The Jackson Citizen COM
menting on the figures it gives, says:
I'VE find by comparison that according
to the reports we have the wickedest
county in the State, save one, that of
Kent, which reports Ito prosecutions,
more than double that reported for Jack

thus saying (?) their grain. They have
had about 1900 bnshels stored in their
granary for years. When the famine
does come they propose to have corner

Water Works.

Messrs. Bell and Gallagher of the
Board of Water Commissioners visited
Alpena last week and viewed the water
works of that city and interviewed the
leading citizens in regard to the success
of the works and the satisfaction they
gave. The expressions were all favor
able and the benefits derived are evil
IDENTIFY appreciated. They speak in the
highest terms of the treatment received
and courtesy shown them by the water
commissioners and citizens of Alpena
They also visited Bay City. One object
they had in view was to Investigate the
wooden pipe used for mains, and they re-
turned satisfied that it was the best for
the purpose. At both places they found
that the expense for repairs was very
insignificant. and the pipes giving the
best of satisfaction, They are expecting
Mr.. Smith up on every boat to make an
estimate on the cost of the pipe for the
contemplated works in our village and
make contract for the same. They are
also awiting the return of Mr.. Macarthur,
to close the contract for the water power
to run the works. As soon as these ar
rangements are made they will COM
mence laying the mains, erect pumping
works and make all connections ready
to connect with the power, when put in.
The latter will not be put in until Nc
Arthur, Smith & Co. shut their mill
down in the fall, as it will be necessary
to make considerable change in the
wheels that furnish the power for the
saw mill which will take several weeks
and the company cannot afford to shut
down during the saving season in order
to make such change.

NORTHERN TRIBUNE,
ASSASSINATED.
THE ASSASSIN ARRESTED.

President Garfield Shot this Morning
while Purchasing n Ticket at the
Baltimore and Potomac Railroad
Depot i'm Washington.
Just as we were ready for press the as.
founding announcement came by tele-
graph of the assassination of President
Garfield. We Immediately telegraphed
to Detroit for particulars, but before an
answer could be received, the line broke
below Alpena. We shall delay going to
press, hoping yet to be able to give the
particulars to our readers. For fear we
should not be able to get reply we will
give the particulars so far as we are able
to gather them at the present writing
from the bulletins at the telegraph
Office, and from private telegram. w. W.
StrOhn telegraphed DR.. Perrin from
Washington as follows:
WASHINGTON, d. c., July 2, 1881.
t. A. Perrin, Cheboygan, Mich.
President Garfield shot this morning.
Said to be dying. Great excitement here.
w. w. STROHN.
The first bulletin was to the effect that
President Garfield, while purchasing a
ticket in the Baltimore s. Potomac de-
pot at Washington this morning was
shot. The assassin was arrested. Unable
to ascertain particulars. DR.. Bliss says
the wound is not a mortal one.
The second stated the wound consider.
ed serious, but not fatal.
Another telegram stated the President
was in a critical condition, one ball
supposed to have entered his bowels.
Another that he was thought to be dy-
ing, and great excitement in Washing
ton.
Until reliable particulars are received
the motive that actuated the assassin
can only be cOnjectured. 1t is to be hoped
that the wound may not prove fatal. The
President is man we'll preserved and
possessing strong constitution, which
is greatly in his favor.
LATEST. a telegram at 4 p. NJ, says
he cannot live two hours longer.

The races announced for the Fourth at
the Driving Park, promise to be among
the most exciting of any that have taken
place or been announced. The heavy
rain of last Monday necessitated the
pOstpOnement of the pacing race be-
tween Peter SpOOner's mare and James
Duggins horse, race that has been the
talk for months and both animals have
numerous friends who are confident their
fayOrite will win. As it had to be post
pOned it was decided to have it come off
on the Fourth to add to the interest of
the day the park. In addition to this
there will be trotting race, open to all
horses owned in the county, barring w.
S. Humphreys black mare and P. H.
McDOnald's horse. The track has been
put in the very best possible shape, and
both races will undoubtedly be hotly
contested and rare sport may be antic-
ipated.
The ChebOygan gun club have arrang-
ed for target shooting with rifle open to
all, and two teams of the club will con-
test a match at glass ball shooting with
shot guns. AS there is no other amuse-
ment announced for the day, large
turnout may naturally be expected at
the park.

A Move i'm the right direction.


The attention of masters of steam.
ers has been called to the rules and re.
gulations governing passenger steamers
In no case will boats be allowed to carry
one passenger more than his certificate
of inspection calls for, and i'm case of ex.
cursiOns, no boat will be permitted to
take on board one passenger more than
her special permit allows.
Collectors of customs are instructed
to examine from time to time said
steamers, and, if necessary, count the
passengers on board and see that the
number does not exceed their permits.
Should he find one in excess it will be
his duty to report the same, with the
name of vessel, master and owners to the
proper authorities, to be dealt with as
the law directs. The interests of the
public demand and insist that these in
structiOns be strictly complied with, and
it is hoped that masters and owners of
steamers will not overlook them.

4 MYSTERIOUS SPOT.

The following legend is narrated by
Edward Everett Hale. There is a spot
of bare sand near the border of the Noun,
Auburn Cemetary (or was till recently,
of which two stories are told. May
they not be true;" as the old Transcen-
dial school used to say of the myth OF
Juno. One account says squarely that
no grass has grown there since 1887.
Another account, equally reliable, land
which our fathers told," assigns the
baroness Of the spo. to Satanic agency.
The story in 1887 was this; That
in former generation some undergrad
yates made a bargain with the devil.
Probably he was to assist them in pass
ing some "little- 60" or "great-go' Of
the time. Eventually and speedily the
time for payment came. The place was
the sod at the spot spoken of. Just in
the crisis, however, as their souls were
to be wrung from them in payment for
the shallow assistance given them by
this prompter, the president of the COL
lege appeared, having been summoned
by some faithful scout. The loyalty
of his assistance to his erring pupils
should be noticed. By means well
known to him, he exercised the place,
shamed the devil, and compelled him to
flee. He disappeared in the opening
pround, and up till 1889 no grass had
grown there again.

THE LOBSTER.

When lobster shakes hands withyou
YOU know when he takes hold and are
exceedingly pleased when he gets done.
They have small features, aud lay nc
claim to good looks When they loco
mote they resemble a small boy shutting
off in his fathers boots. They are back
ward, very. They even 90 ahead back
ward. They occasionally have row
like people, and in the melee lose mem
Der, but have the faculty of growing out
another. The process is patented both
in this country and in Europe, which &C
counts for It's no; coming into general use
with the human lobster to speak.
4 lobster never comes on shore unless
he is carried by force. They are afflicted
with but one disease and that is boils
There is more real excitement in har-
pOoning a whale or in having the measles
than there is in catching Holsters. The
fisherman provides himself with small
hen-coop and places in it for enticers
several dead fish. He then rows his
boat to the lobster-ground (which is wat
err and sinks his coop to the bottom,
and anchors it to small buoy zone from
nine to ten years will do, and then goes
home. When he feels like it again
say in the course Of a week or so-he
goes back and pulls his poultry-ho
and if he has good success he will find
the game inside the coop.
As an article Of food the real goodness
of the lobster is in the pith. Very few
persons relish the skin, and physicians
say it is hard to digest. We therefore
take the lobster and boil it until it is
ready 10 eat. Nothing is better for collie
than boiled lobster. 1t will bring on
case when cucumbers have failed.

JAMES BOWIE AND HIS KNIFE.
Isan Francisco Chronicle


James Bowie lay for months in his bed,
in the city of Natchez, before ne recov-
cred from his wound. He was a man OF
much mechanical ingenuity, and while
thus confined whitfield from piece OF
white pine the model of hunting knife,
which he sent to two brothers named
Blackman, in the city of Natchez, and
told them to spare no expense in making
a duplicate of it in steel. This was the
origin of the dreaded bowie knife. 1t
was made from large sawmill file, and
its temper afterwards improved upon by
the Arkansas blacksmith. This is all
that can be told about the origin of that
death. dealing implement. Since James
Bowie became somewhat prominent in
his efforts to advance the spread of re-
publican institutions it is proper to speak
of what he did. He seemed to have a
natural disposition to protect the weak
from the strong At one time he was
riding through the parish of Con cordia,
louisiana, and saw man flashing his
slave with his whip. He told the man
to desist, but he was met with curses.
He dismounted from his horse, wrested
the whip from the master, and laid II
over his shoulders. This led to a shoot.
ing match, in which the slave owner was
badly wounded. Bowie, after submitting
himself to the law, paid the doctor 5
bill, purchased the slave at double his
value, and gave him bis freedom.
In after years Methodist preacher
told the writer this: He said he was
one of the first Methodist ministers sent
to Texas by the Methodist Conference.
He travelled on horseback, crossing the
Mississippi below Natchoz that the first
day after crossing the Mississippi river
he was overtaken by horseman dressed
in buckskin. armed with rifle, pistol and
knife. They entered into conversation
and he found him to be intelligent, pleas
ant and well acquainted with the geo.
graphy of the country. Neither one IN
ouired the name or business of the other.
Both were aiming at the same destlna-
ton. Texas. Finally they reached new
town filed with wild, desperate charact.
ers from other States. He posted no.
tice that he would preach at the Court
House the first evening of his arrival
there. At the hour named he found the
rude structure ihronged to oyeIilowing-
with men only. He gave out hymn,
and all joined in singing, and sung it
well. but when he announced his text and
attempted to preach one braycd in imita-
ton of an ass, another hooted like an owl,
etc. He dishked 10 be driven from his
purpose and attempted again to preacs,
but was stopped by the same species Of
interruption. He stood silent and still,
not knowing whether 10 vacatc the pulpit
or not. Finally his travelling companion.
whom lie do not know was IN the house
arose in the midst and with stcniorian
voice said Men, this man has come
here to preach 10 you. You need preach
ing to. and III bc-il he shan preach
to YOU, The mex; man that disturbs him
shall fight me. My name is jim Bowie
The preacher said that alter this an
nouncement he never had more atten-
tive and respectful audience, so much in
fiuence had Bowie over that reckless and
dangerous element.
