Benefit Concert.

The. concert on Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings Of last week,
given by Prof. Chessbro and pu-
pills, for the benefit Of Geo. H.
Shelly, was one of the finest con-
csrts ever given in Alpena, and
was deserving of much larger re-
ceipts, although the house was well
filed Oh the first evening, and
many reserved seats taken on
Wednesday evening We give bo-
low the programme, and will not
enter into detail, merely saying
that each and every one played the

On Wednesday evening Of last
week, a party of about forty
couples from this city, under spe-
cial arrangements made by DR.
Shelton and w. E. Rogers, visited
Ossineke for the purpose Of having
q good old-fashioned enjoyment
The party commenced arriving al
the hotel at Ossineke about half
past six o'clock, and by eight o.
clock the house was filed to its at
most by as happy a congregation
Of the good-natured people of Al
pena rs one very often witnesses
Dancing was the order of the even
ing, the music being furnished by
Vet Williams and Joe Parrow o.
this city. About ten o'clock =
sumptuous supper, prepared by
Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. Anderson, who
were in charge of the house, was
spread for the benefit OF the hun
cry party, and il we are to judge
from the manner in which the good
things disappeared, we should GER
tainly say that all present fully
appreciated the superb manner
in which the supper had been
prepared. AS the wee sma'
hours approached, the AlpenianS
turned their faces northward, and
were soon speeding away over
the white snow toward their
own firesides, fully satisfied that
they had just passed one of the
most enjoyable evenings that could
he wished for.

Godey's Lady's Book for February 4

Godey's Ladys Book for February Is
really household treasure. Besides its
rich array of steel plates, colored fash.
ion plates and cngravings, illustrating
many varieties of ladies' and children's
dresses, there is an intensely interesting
novel, a good feast OF stories and sketch
es, work department for ladies, amuso-
ment for children, and the very reliable
chat on fashion which has distinguished
this old favorite magazine for so many
years. Every number OF the Lady's
Book for 1881 will contain complete
novel, and II all are equal TO the one In
the February number, the subscribers
will get the full value OF their money In
the novels alone, 10 say nothing OF the
other strong and commendable features
of the Lady's Book. We will receive
subscriptions at this ONCE, and furnish
Godey's Lady's Book and the ARsrs for

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

Last Friday afternoon between
and 3 O'clock our citizens were
startled by the cry of fire. Huge
volumes of thick, black smoke were
seen issuing from the Court House,
situated in the center Of the village,
and in n few seconds from the first
alarm fire was seen breaking thro'
the clapboards in the vicinity Of
one of the chimneys on the east
side of the second story. Ladders
were at once brought, but owing to
the distance that water had TO be
carried, and the few present to do
it, the fire made steady Roadway.
Soon the flames spread to other
parts Of the structure, owing to the
wind, which had increased consid-
erably on the breaking out of the
Are. AS soon as it was found that
al efforts to save the building were
destined to be fruitless, attention
was at once turned to try and res
cue the contents. This, happily,
resulted more satisfactorily. All of
the books belonging to the Regis
ter of Deeds, as also those Of the
County Clerk, Prosecuting Attor-
ney, Judge of Probate, ETC., were
taken from their respective offices
and carried to more safe quarters.
Besides the Offices already men
toned, the basement was occupied
as residence by ex-Sheriff John
Rich, the second floor as a law
office by 6. Convey, Jr., while on
the third floor was situated the
Pressure Isle County Advance
These all suffered more or less loss.
Mr.. Rich, who unfortunately was
absent from home at the time, lost
some household goods ard s1l9
which he had secreted in his Sleep
ing room; no insurance. Mr..
Covey's law library and fixtures
were damaged possibly to the ex-
tent of s25; no insurance. The
Advance Jared the worst OF all,
all Of the printing material, includ-
ing type, presses, stones, stock,
etc, being burned. The office was
worth 81, 500; insured for $3.50.
Tho court house was a frame
structure 44x70, three stories high,
the lower one being of stone, and
the whole surmounted by a hand
some cupola. 1t was the largest
and most imposing building of the
kind on the shore. It was erected
some SIX or seven years ago at n
cost of upwards of $4,000 insur-
ed for $4,000.
The origin of the FIRE cannot be
definitely stated, although it is
generally credited TO q defective
chimney. A meeting of the Board
of Supervisors has been called for
tomorrow, and action will no doubt
be taken looking to the rebuilding
of another court house on the site
of the old one SO soon as the loss is
adjusted by the insurance compan-
les.
