1t is rumored that change of time
is about to be effected i'm the running
of passenger trains on the railroad, and
that the train will leave Gaylord on
and after Monday next at 600 u. NJ,
instead of 1920 so as to reach Bay
City by noon. We trust this may prove
true, as ii will be much more conven-
lent for persons doing business with
Bay City and other points along the
road.
On Saturday last, just after the
passenger train bound south had
crossed over the bridge, a certain land
locker claiming to be in the employ of
Blodgett Il Co., of Hersey, whose
name we withhold. who had imbibed
rather too freely for straight work, fell
headlong from the train striking on
his face and head into the sand below.
which, if it had been a sober man
would have probably broken his neck;
but as it was, did nothing but sober
him up little.
Mr.. II. l.. Lamport, our station
agent, received postal the other day
from Mr.. j. II. Pratt, who formerly
done business in this place as boot
and shoemaker, who writes from Port
land, Oregon, where lie had just ar
rived with his family, and which place
lie purposes making his future home.

looking about TO see what could be
done, his remarks were brief; but will
probably be heard from again soon.

AS there seems to be a slight di-
versity of opinion as TO the true relig-

Gently established i'm district No. 3,
Grove township, in what is known as
the Hyde school house, one even going
as far as TO openly class it infidel. we
caution him to he discreet, and not
circulate anything he cannot prove,
else he may get a little notoriety as
well as a good ventilation through the
medium of the press. as the good peo-
pie in that neighborhood probably
know what they are about.
MIR. John Latter, a rather new
resident in the southeastern part of
Grayling township, started to water
his COWS at Bear lake, about 100 rods
from his place, few days since, and
after travelling quite spell drew up
with his cows in front of +. Il. Buck 5
homestead, some two miles north, and
anxiously inquired where he was, which
intelligence was soon his; but being a
little illustrated over his slight knowl-
edge of the country, desired Mr. b. to
accompany him short distance home
ward, which was cheerfully granted.
To quote Mr.. B. words: 1.-The gentle
man was about the worst lost of any
one ever did see as he couldn't tell
