fortunate rescue by Capt. L. B. Coats

NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER "a. 1881.
Crop Report for september.

We are in receipt of circular prepar-
ed by the Secretary Of State, as required
by an act of the late legislature. 1t is
compiled from returns of the supervisors
made last spring and from correspon-
dents representing 624 townships in the
state. The average yield of wheat per
acre, as shown by the returns, is 10 and
15-hundredths bushels, or about one
bushel more than the yield as estimated
by the supervisors, July 2. The number
of acres in wheat in May, 1881, as report
ed by the supervisors, was 1,7S1,S65.
Multiplying this acreage by the above
average obtains, as the.probable aggre-
gate product, 1S,0S5,929 bushels. The
yield of oats per acre is reported at 81
bushels, indicating total yield of 49,
045,386 bushels. In the estimate Che
boygan county is down for 422 acres of
wheat, averaging 10 bushels to the acre,
aggregating total of S,O1S bushels, this
being the highest average given of any
county in the State, except Chippewa,
which is credited with acres sOwn, av-
eraging 30 bushels. w. B. Ellis, who is
engaged in threshing grain for the diff
ferent farmers, says that the crop will
exceed the average given for the county
aud that the acreage is largely in excess
of the amount given. Others we have
talked with, and who have had excellent
opportunities for judging, state that the
wheat crop of the county will consider
ably exceed the average given, they plac-
ing the average at from 23 to 25 bushels
per acre. Mr.. Ellis says the oat crop 81
the best ever raised in the county and is
of the opinion that it will exceed the
crop of any previous year so per cent.
From the crop harvested from three
acres by Mr.. Trip, they threshed 14S
bushels, an average of 1915 bushels per
acre. We think the grain crop of this
county will be the best ever raised, both
as to yield and quality. Mr.. Ellis says
that they expect to thresh 1900 bushels
of grain during the season with their
machine alone and there are two other
threshing machii es that are kept busy.
In the German settlement, on the Pc
tosky road, which few years since was
nothing but bowling wilderness, this
season Messrs. Ellis & Lang threshed
1900 bushels of grain.

The County Fair.

We are glad to state that the effort to
secure meeting of the Board Of Direc-
tor of the Agricultural society last Sat
urday afternoon proved success, most
of the members of the board being pre-
sent and all entering heartily into the
determination to hold the most success
full fair, October 9th, 18th and 9Th, that
has ever yet been held in this county.
They devised liberal premium list and
perfected arrangements looking to Sc
curing a successful exhibit. Whether
the fair proves success or not depends
largely upon the farmers of our county.
Upon them depends the furnishing the
exhibit and if they go to work with a
determination to make it a success there
can be no failure. We think we can
safely say that the citizens of the vii
lage will do their share towards making
it a success financially by literally pat
ronizing it, in the way Of attendance,and
will also contribute their share toward
the exhibit, in the way of fancy goods
and manufactured articles. The follow
ing is the premium list, as prepared by
the committee:

Mr.. Simeon Tietsell, of Saugerties, N. Y,
had been treated for seven years by various
physicians for what they call Structure of the
Urethra, without benefit. He finally con-
suited DR.. David Kennedy, of Rondout N. Y,
who found his trouble to be Urinary Calculi
or Stones i'm the Bladder. The doctor at once
removed the foreign bodies with the knife and
then gave his great Blood Specific, 'Favorite
Remedy" to prevent their reformation. The
entire treatment was eminently successful, and
Mr.. Tietselps recovery was rapid and per-
feet.
While ''FavOrte Remedy" is specific I'm
all Kidney and Bladder diseases, ii is equally
valuable in cases of Bilious Disorders, Con-
stipatiOn of the Bowels, and all the class of
ills apparently inseperable fLOm the constitu-

1t, and its cost is only one dollar bottle. The
lucky man is he who puts this advice in prac-
tice. Don't forget the name and address, Dr.
David Kennedy, ROndout N Y. The Doctor
would have it understood that, while he is en-
gagged in the introduction OF his medicine,
"FavOrite Remedy he still continues the
practice of his profession, but confines him
self exclusively to Office practice. He treats
all diseases OF chronic character, and per-
forms all the minor and capital operations of

Another Year in Chcboygan.

From the proceedings of the Detroit
M. E. conference, Jas published in the
Detroit dailies, we see that Rev. W. M.
Campbell has been assigned for another
year to the Methodist church of this vii
lage. The re-appointment we know will
be highly gratifying to the members of
that denomination as well as the citi-
zens at large. Mr.. Campbell, during the
year recently closed, has done much for
the church, and through his efforts the
church was placed fairly on the high
road to prosperity. When he took charge
the church was in very bad condition
and everything was needing the SER
vices of just such a minister as Mr..
Campbell proved to be. The church
building has been thoroughly renovated,
a chapel built in the rear, all forming
one of the neatest, most convenient and
handsome church sdifices in Northern
Michigan. We are glad to welcome Mr..
Campbell to another years labor in our
midst, that he may have an opportunity
to enjoy what so largely owes its exist
ence to his efforts.

The Worship Of Animals.

In the infancy of mankind almost
every system of mythology included the
worship or generation of animals. In
one land the deity was a bull, in anoth-
er it was a serpent. in yet another il
was a bird; and in lands like India and
Egypt almost every known animal was
either III in~carnated deity or demon.
The same reasons which caused the
animal To be dcified and w~orshiped
would, in a short time, surround its wor-
ship with numberless myths and le-
gends. that would be remembered long
after the occasion that called them into
existence had been forgotten. As an
instance of this, we need only cite the
return of the Israelites in the desert of
Sinai to the worsoip of the golden calf
the image of the Apis god of the
Egyptians-they probably being no
more aware that under this eidolon was
represented the sun-god in the zodiacal
sign Taurus than were the mass of the
Egyptians themselves. Still another
reason why these myths and legends
would remain long after their real mean
ing had been forgotten, is due to the
metaphoric nature of all early languages;
and this cause would act still more
strongly if the'various shades of mean
ing of each m~etaphorical term were not
limited by accurate writing. Brinton
says the Algonquins. who translated
''Michabo" into ''The Great Hare" lost
by a false etymology a great part of
their religion.

She Paid His Bills.

Marcel DIX, q y q Paris letter, had
n scene with his mistress, Jeanne L.. last
week, when several of the newspapers
given to such chronicles told how, in o
lit of brutal jealousy, he tore string
of pearls from her neck at q demi-
monde party, saying that 'the jewelry
which be gave her should no longer be
used as a sign-board for her charms"
The girl tainted, but neither then mol
afterward manifested any anger at the
outrage. Marcel went to a hotel, for
getting about his address at the charm
ing little entresol at the Boulevard NAL
sherbes. His creditors, though, did not
forget it. for there they had been long
in the habit of presenting their bills
and suing in vain for payment, and
thither they presented themselves again,

A TM1ible Country,

The Valley Of Death, a spot almost as
terrible as the prophets valley of dry
bones, lies just north of the old Nor
mon road to CALIFORNIA; region thirty
miles long by thirty broad, and sur
rounded, except at two points, by mac
cessible mountains. 1t is totally devoid
Of water and vegetation, and the shad-

its white, glaring sands. The Kansas

and also some papers which show the
fate of the ''lost Montgomery train"

off from their party. The leader turn

wagons and flocks he travelled three
days, and then descended into the broad
valley, whose treacherous mirage pro-
missed water. They reached the center.
but only the white sand, bounded. by
scorching peaks, met their gaze.
Around the valley they wandered, and
one by one the men died, and the pant
ing flocks stretched themselves in death
under the hot sun. Then the children,
crying for water, died at their mothers
breast, and with swollen tongues and
burning vitals. the mothers followed.
Wagon after wagon was abandoned,
and strong men tottered and raved and
died. After a weeks wandering q
dozen survivors found some water in
the hollow of q mountain. 1t lasted
but a short time. when all persisted but
two who escaped out of the valley, and
followed the trail of their former COM
panions. Eighty-scven families, with

Reform in ssormondom.

1t is understood that u bill will be
introduced in the next congress, with
the approval of the president, to change
the form of government of Utah, as
the foundation for the reforms for
which he has declared. The bill will
abolish the present form of appoint
ment of governor and judges, who will
provide a commission of probably seven
persons, who will administer all the at
fairs of this refractory territory, backed
by all the power necessary to enforce
the reforms they will institute. The
commissioners will be named by the
president, and will be men who are
known to be sound on the polygamy
question. Their terms of office will be
continuous under the pleasure of the
president. In this way it is believed
that the evil can be reached. 1t is
proposed to pass the law DISTINGUISHING
