NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2s. 1881.

Buel advertises his shooting gallery
for rent.
Soon the tax-gatherer will be seen in
The land.
There will be no preachin g at the M.
+. church tomorrow.
Rev. Campbell is much better. Thurs
day he was able to walk out little.
Tote teams are kept busy carrying
supplies to the lumber camps for the
winter.
DR.. GerOw has lately been making
some very noticeable improvements to
his drug store.
The editorial fraternity of st. Ignace
are as gushing toward each other as
15-year-old maidens with their first
lovers.
Crump the would-be suicidest, is slow
ly recovering and it is expected that he
will be able to be removed to his home
next week.
Quite number of families in town
have acted on the suggestion of the TRI-
BUNE and killed off some of the worth
less CANNES,
Our milliners and dress makers are
kept busy filling orders for the holidays.
They keep stock large and varied
enough to suit the most fastidious.
The Bazaar given by our Episcopal
friends at the Carleton building Tues
day evening is said to have been a sue
cess, at any rate all seemed to enjoy
themselves.
Ii a certain lame man in town could
see what comical and ridiculous ap-
pearance he makes on the street, when
full of "blue ruin" he would never get
drunk again.
1t is not known at present whether
we are to have regular trains after all.
If we do not it will be great drawback
to many of our merchants who have re-
lied on replenishing their stock of goods
by rail.
Boring at the salt well was again re-
sumed Wednesday night, and work has
since progressed comparatively we'll,
and at present the depth reached is
about 10 feet, Hard rock has not been
reached yet.
Do any of our readers who are COM
fortably clothed and fed know of any in
our midst who are suffering for the
bare necessities of life or are shivering
from lack of sufficient clothing or fuel
to repel the bitter cold. If so they are
not actuated by true humanity if they
10 not do all in their power to alleviate
such suffering.
It was announced from the pulpit Of
the Congregational church last Sunday
night that RevA. H. Lowrie would occupy
tho pulpit tomorrow, morning and
evening. Geo, K. Frost reviewed tele-
gram from Mr.. Lowrie, stating that
owing to sickness in his family he would
not be able to fill the appointment; con-
sequently, there will be no services. 1t
is hoped, however, that Mr.. LOwrie will
be here next week and occupy the pulpit
a week from tomorrow.
Our cotemporary boasts of having paid
So for postage on extra papers mailed of
their issue containing the statistics Of
building operations. If he paid the or
binary postage of one cent each, that
would be 500 copies he mailed. but pub
llshers are allowed to send sample copies
at their regular rates, cents per pound,
and it is natural to suppose that man
troubled with as an extensive brain-bOx
as the editor Of that paper boasts of,
would take advantage Of this. and on
this basis it would make $50 pounds of
extras mailed-two or three large bags
we'll flled-near 1900 copies. 1t is need
less to say the story is too thin, in fact
mostly wind, striking characteristic
Of that sheet.
The literary entertainment Wednesday
evening was worthy of a full house, but
we regret to say very small audience
was present to enjoy it. Doubtless the
fact that it was very stormy evening
prevented some from attending who
would otherwise have been present. The
programme was suffi GENTLY varied to
enable Rev, Robinson ample opportunity
to display his abilities as an elocutiOnist.
Those present were highly entertained.
