fer Bay City, Michigan, where be ex-
poets to rhake his future abode. Mr..
r. hba been q resident of our town for
about two years during which time he
made many friends who wish him pros
perity in his new home. We can rec
onmend him to the people Of Bay
City as a peaceable and worthy citi-
zen. 2ft
We we're very much surprised the
other day at seeing Robinson & Bon.
ner unloading at their popular store,
so many oblong boxes, and upon in
quiry learned they were boots and
shoes. We have no reason to doubt
this as they always have the largest
stock Of these goods to be found in the
market. They tell us their sales this
season of Gokey & Sons celebrated
hand made goods have been almost
ten times that ofauy other goods.
The food last week seems to have
been gotten up expressly for Samuel
Roupe, who had some six or eight
timber RATS stuck between this and
Buck Mills. 1t let him out nicely,
and he arrived safely in Pittsburgh.
Geo. Osgood, who has the job of taking
out lot of square timber for Alb.
Grove, succeeded in getting out
couple Of RATS on this flood. In fact,
as far as we can learn, there isn't
board or stick of timber now in the
creek that needs attention, 80 fortu-
nate have the lumbermen been in get
ting out their wares.
The Cory Enterprise, Misses Mar
garet K. Kern and Florence l.. Yost,
Editresses, has reached US. 1t is 6.cOl-
umn, 4.page, and handsomely-prin
paper, but that is not all by any
means; the editorial columns show a
high order of refinement and talent,
and its local paragraphs are spicy and
numerous. Our best wishes attend the
young ladies in this venture. We
cheerfully accord the new candidate
for public patronage a place on our
exchange list, and hope "the girls"
won't give us "the mitten," when we
ask them to do the same by US.
That good beginning sometimes
makes a bad ending was verified in g
mild degree last week. A party of
men got out at Newtown on Thursday
morning last. hung the oars on five
creek RATS of timber, started for the
pouth of the creek, where they landed
them safely and by night had them
coupled up, shanty built and all
ready to start for Pittsburgh in the
morning, which they did. Every
thing ran smoothly until few miles
above Oil City when the raft very an
tremendously landed itself 'on Horse
creek island, where at last accounts il
still languished. Dan Gibson, one Of
the most successful pilots that runs
from this section, was the captain oi
the craft, but the best Of pilots will
sometimes have bad luck. P. S.-The
raft was taken off yesterday and will
now doubtless get to market all ight
The Teachers Institute which
convenes here next week will be the
best ever held in the county, if the
array of talented instructors presented
by Superintendent Hillard and the
efforts put forth by that gentleman are
to be taken as q criterion. With suct
notables as Col. Stafford, Miss Laurs
Keller, Supts. Dixon and SchencE
taking part in an affair of this kline
there can be no doubt Of its complete
success, and the teachers of the county
and all who attend can rest assured
that they will experience rare trea
that will be of lasting benefit to them
No teacher should be absent from thi
institute, now that they are allOwet
their time while in attendance. Mr.
Hillard has laborsd hard and earn
sstly to make the coming institute o
more than ordinary interest and ben
eft to the teachers Of the county, anC
it now remains for them to second hi
efforts by their presence and assistanc,
