his horse and cutter with Nj. W. Horne

addition to our village.
The weather this week has been de-
lightfully pleasant and in marked con-
trast with that of last week which was
the worst week of the winter.
The numerous friends of Perry An
dress, the genial host of the Occidental
Hotel, Petoskey, will regret to hear that
he is seriously ill with infamatory
rheumatism.
Capt. Bouchard reports building mat
tiers at st. Ignace lively. Most of the
hotels are having large additions made
to their capacity and all over the town
buildings are going up rapidly.
Our "has been" of last week is about
equal to some of the efforts of our cotem-
porary at spelling, such as "epa-
tibet" accident" dissipation" etc. and
"Mr. Louis Parcelle hare resigned"
Our cotemporary having been so sue
cessful in building court house is now
turning its attention to erecting hotels
and at its present rate, one week, will
soon have the village we'll supplied.
We have no doubt that ex-supervisOr
Wylie, of Grant will be agreeably sur
prised to learn from our cOtempOrary
that he occupies the lucrative position of
foreman of Thompson Smiths mills.
Among number of new subscribers
to the TRIBUNE this week is one from

Monday for constructing water works

We understand the Baptist church has
purchased lot on the corner of Division

neighbOrhOod of $4O0 subscribed, and we
presume the of work building will COM
menceas soon as possible in the spring.
Henry Amiot is doing a rushing bust
ness in connection with his ship yard.
He has twenty-one men employed and

is doing makes business quite lively for
him.
The Chippewa County News says shat
the work of changing the barge Sault
Ste. Marie into passenger boat is pro-
crossing rapidly. Her stanchions are
all formed and the oak plank for her
bullwarksI are planned and fitted. She is
to De altered from her covering board
up. On her completion here she will go
to Detroit for new wheel, and have an
addition put on her keel to give her a
better hold" 1t is the intention to run
her on the Cheboygan and Sault Ste.
Marie route.
The Peoples" judicial convention,
called to meet at Petoskey Wednesday Of

standing the storm. The Democrat states
that the delegates present thought best
to adjourn the convention until Satur-
day March eighth, to meet at Walton. 1t
will be long time before that conven-
ton is held, if the Democrat is right as
to date.
Elsewhere we publish an editorial
from the Bay City Tribune, setting forth
the merits of that excellent paper and
the advantages it affords to advertisers,
all of which we can heartily endorse.
The Tribune. as newspaper, is equal to
the best outside of Detroit, and continues
