Supreme Court Decision.

Ex-Governor Croswell in his retiring
message referred to the fact that there
was a surplus in the state treasury, de-
rived from the sinking fund, of $31S, $685.
q, over and above the amount necessary
to provide for the bonded debt of the
state. The constitution provides that
after the extinguishment of the public
debt, this fund should be devoted to the
primary school interest fund. In his
message he said the question was wheth-
er or not full provision being made for
it, constituted an "extinguishment" as
contemplated in the constitution and
stated that test case had been present
ed to the Supreme court for decision.
That court has since decided that the
public debt has been extinguished and
that hereafter the primary-schOOl inter-
est fund should receive the benefit of the
revenue from this source.

The Michigan Republican association
at Washington, have rendered a recep-
tiOn to Governor Jerome and staff and
the Michigan delegation in Congress. to
take place Wednesday, March 2, at Ma
sonic Temple, Washington, d. C.
The IOnia Sentinel says a prisoner
who was received at the Ionia House of
Correction is i'm for a curious Offense.
1t was intended to send him up under
the disOrderly act-chap. SO, sec. 1, COM
piled laws as amended-but the COM
mitment reads sec. 1, chap. AZ, compiled
laws, which is an act for the regulation
of mills, and reads as follows: when
any mill which is owned by several per-
sons as joint tenants i'm common
or the dam shall need to be repaired,
and the prOprietOrs shall not
all agree in rebuilding the same, =
the greater part of the proprietors may
cause the work to be done at the ex-
pense of the whole The question
is, what is the poor fellow sent up for?
There is a!mistake about it somewhere.

Leagued with the Devil.
ST. IGNACE, Jan. 4th, 1881.

ST. IGNACE, Jan. 4th, 1881.
To the Editor of the Northern Tribune.
1t would be well for the Democrat, of
your place, in gathering up its pickings
around st. Ignace as we'll as other places
to print facts, and not wholesale false
hoods. In its notice of the examination
on the body of the late William Ternan,
not Turner, as the Democrat had it, ev-
cry sentence conveys an untruth, which
may at no distant day be publicly shown.
l. VIM. Turner was found murdered near a
notorious house of ill-fame.
Such is not the case. He died in the
boarding house of the Macinac Lumber
company.
2. That all his ribs had been kicked in.
Such is not the case. He had not a
broken rib. There were some bruises on
the body, but no marks OH the limbs.
8. That man of the name of Wood was
discharged from custody.
Such is not the case. This man was
not in custody, but he may trouble the
Democrat yet.
a. 1t is openly charged that some of the St
lgnace officials are in league with the gang of
murderous rogues that swarm the town.
These officials, learn, are to call for
an explanation from the Democrat, as
they were under the impression until
now that they held Democratic offices.
The whole wording of your CO.
tempOrary's notice seems like the bray
ing of an electric-struck donkey, and we
simply ask him to stay in ChebOygan.
L may add that some of the jury in
the case were of the highest standing
at the Point, such as Mr.. Burt. manager of
the smelling works, &C., and that they
feel very sore at such gross misrepre-
sentatiOns.

M. w. HOrne's Third Addition.

Geo. W. Bell has completed the plat of
M. W. HOrne's, Third addition to the vii
lage of ChebOygan, mention of which
was made in the TRIBUNE few weeks
since. The addition consists of eleven
blocks comprising seventy-fOur lots in
all. In the most of the blocks an alley
runs midway between the streets, thus
affording access to the rear of the lots.
This addition is situated in the vicinity
of the school house, in fact the school
lot is in the midst of it and on land for
merly a part of abe land that has been
plotted, making this one of the most de-
sirable portion of the village for pri-
vate residences.

Report of Secretary of State.

We are i'm receipt of the Second An
nual report of Secretary of State Jenny.
1t is pamphlet of $50 pages. and con-
tains a vast amount of interesting sta
tistics in regard to the various agricul-
tural products of our state for the years
1880. From it we learn that the total
number of acres i'm wheat in 1879 was
1.6O2 ,636, producing 30963,340 bushels,
an average of 1890 bushels to the acre.
Ten counties produced over a million
bushels each. The report shows that
the proportion of the wheat crop grown
i'm these northern counties is steadily
increasing from year to year, as the
country is developed. ChebOygan does
not make quite so good showing as in
some of the former years. In 1876 our
county stood fourth on the list as to av-
erage yield, per acre. In 1879 our county
was the 47th. In 1879 there were 719
acres cf wheat harvested in this county,
an increase of 18 acres over the pre-
vious year. According to the returns
for 1880 there was 344 farms in our
county, averaging 1915 acres, giving
total acreage of 23,95S, of which 4,903
acres were improved. The latter is di-
vided up amongs the several townships
as follows: Beaugrand, 462 acres: Ben
ton, 202; Burt, 294; Duncan, 514; Grant,
1870; Inverness, 1,120; Munro, 223; Tus-
carOra, 18S.
1t has been generally claimed that
corn could not be successfully raised in
this section, yet we find from the report
that in 1879 there were produced in this
county 4,38S bushels, and in Emmet
county 31,213. We also find in this
county in the same year 237 bushels of
barley, 1891 bushels of peas, 35,897 of
potatoes, and 1,766 tons Of hay. That in
May, 1880, our county contained 263
horses-this we are certain is much be-
low the actual number, but it is as re-
turned by the different Supervisors -291
milch cows, 2S1 cattle. other than milch
COWS; 252 hogs, PSI sheep. There were
242 sheep sheared in 1879, producing l.
245 pounds of wool.
Although it is but recently that any
attention has been given to raising
fruit, we find there are $50 acres plant
ed with apple trees.

Agricultural Society.

The annual meeting of the Cheboy-
gan County Agricultural society was
held at the Office of Shepherd & Fife
last Monday afternoon. The attendance
was fair, although not as large as it
should have been, and included quite
a number of farmers, which
showed that those engaged in agricul-
tural pursuits, the industry most deep
ly interested in the success of the so
ciety, were ready to aid in making it a
success.
The meeting was called to order by
President Patterson, and the minutes of
the last annual meeting were read and
approved. The Secretary read;the report
Of the Treasurer, which showed that the
premiums awarded at the last fair had
been paid in full, with the exception of
z. II. Mcdonald, who, with commendable
liberality. had requested that all other
awards be paid and he would accept
what remained in full for the premiums
due him.
The society is out of debt, with the
exception of a small bill due Sylvester
SammOns for work done previous to the
holding of the last fair. Mr.. SammOns
was owing the society a balance from
contract for the exclusive right for keep
ing a refreshment stand on the grounds
at the time of the first fair. In view of
the fact that the venture had proven an
an improbable one. motion was made
and adopted, that the debt be cancelled
and the bill of Mr.. SammOns be paid.
Those present qualified for voting by
paying in their membership fee to
the Secretary.
The amendments to the constitution,
offered at the last annual meeting, one
providing for the election of officers on
the afternoon of the second day of the
annual fair, and the other increasing the
number of directors so as to have one
from each organized township and in
corporated village in the county, were
unanimously adopted.
The election of officers for the ensuing
year was then proceeded with, resulting
as follows:
President-F. NJ. SammOns.
Vice President-P. H. Mcdonald.
Secretary-FrankS Shepherd.
Treasurer-M. w. Horne.
Observation-Disclosures village, S. LIE
Gault, Sr.; Benton, Phillip O'Brien;
Grant, Vim. GainOr; Inverness, Cyrus
Riggs; Munro, P. C. Munro; Burt. Henry
Crump; TuscarOra, E. A. Faunce; Dun
can, Vim. Stewart.
AuditOrs-Wm. B. Ellis, C. s. Ramsay.
There seemed to be disposition upon
the part of those present to take hold of
the matter and make the society sue
cess. 1t was suggested that each direc-
tor canvass their own town for members
and try to induce as many as possible to
become exhibitors at the fair next fall
This year the society will receive 800
from the county, which will give it quite
lift financially. An effort should be
made either to effect some permanent
arrangement with the Horse association
for the use of the grounds of that So
ciety, or else purchase grounds for the
Agricultural society. If the society is
to be a success, this latter will be ne
cessity in the course of time, and the
question is, whether or not it wouldn't
be better to secure suitable site while
land conveniently situated can be had at
reasonably low price.
