NORTHERN TRIBUNE,
SATURDAY. AUGUST 20, 1881.

The scOw Lady Essex arrived this fore
noon with portion of the pipe for the
water works.
The hum of the planning mill was
heard this forenoon for the first time in
the new mill.
j. H. Waterman has the frame of his
new residence up and only for the wet
weather would have had the roof on.
Nelson & Bullen are Offering some
special inducements to the public. Read
their price list published in this issue.
w. H. Scott, the merchant tailor, has
the finest line of suitings ever brought
to this place. Call and examine them.
Sam Ray is Offering bargains at his
99c store, east side of the river. Read
his advertisement, and then give him
call.
Mrs. c. De Maria, of Big Rapids, exec
trix of the estate of the late Rev. C. L.
De Cueninck, has been spending several
days in the village this week.
The many friends of Rev. H. A. Conrad
showed their appreciation of his valu-
able ]abors in our village by donation
party at the new chapel last Monday
evening, at which an exceedingly pleas
ant time was enjoyed socially, and the
worthy pastor received substantial
financial benefit. Served him right.
From notice elsewhere it will be
seen that John Mulvaugh, the we'll
known harness maker, has taken life
partner in the person of Miss Orma Far
rel. Both are well and favOrably known
and have the best wishes of hosts of
friends for happy future i'm which the
TRIBUNE most cordially join. We ac-
knowledge the receipt of some of the ex-
cellent wedding cake.
The work of sinking the salt well has
been progressing more satisfactorily
this week although they are still having
more or less trouble. Yesterday morn
ing they were bothered some by striking
rotten rock, which caved in upon them,
causing some delay. This forenoon they
were down to depth of about AGO feet
and things were working very we'll.
This week they struck flowing well
which flows up very strong, coming out
the top of the pipe, four or five feet
above the surface, completely filling the
five inch tubing.
The dedicatory services at the Bap-
tist chapel last Sunday drew out
large audiences, both morning and
evening and Rev. Barlow, of Alpena,
preached very interesting discourse.
Those present showed their appreciation
of the work accomplished by Rev. H. A.
Conrad and his cO-wOrkers by liberal
donations, sufficient amount being
raised, we understand, to free the little
church from debt and set them going on
a solid basis. We congratulate the good
people of that denomination upon their
success, and extend our best wishes for
their future prosperity. They have
neat and comfortable home in which to
worship and are deserving of it.
Yesterday Jessie d. Farwell and a Mr..
Hubert of Detroit and John Mckay of
ChebOygan who were fishing near the
Schneaux Island had narrow escape
from drowning. While endeavOring to
land large muscalOnge they had hook
ed, the boat they were in capsized and
they were in the water, clinging to the
boat, for an hour and half before they
were rescued, being picked up by fishing
tug that happened fortunately to be in
the vicinity. The singular thing about
the matter is that ordinarily the tug that
picked them up has taken the outside
passage, but yesterday the captain con-
cluded to take the inside channel and
while passing through discovered the
party in the water and when first seen
could not make out what 1t was but
knowing there was no reef in that local
ity took his glass and discovered them
hanging to the capsized boat and went
and picked them up. He found them all
nearly exhausted. Mr.. Mckay, had
managed to get on top of the capsized
boat and assisted the others in clinging
to the craft, but all were so stiffened by
their long stay in the water that they
were almost helpless. 1t was very for
tlnate for the party that the capt. o. TIE
tug decided to take the inside passage,
had he not done so, the party would ha. .
probably persisted.
