Sad Suicide.

Last Tuesday John Wylie, of Grant
township received telegram announc-
ing that his youngest brother, William,
had shot and killed himself last Monday,
about noon, the particulars of which we
get from the Saginaw Courier. 1t seems
MIR. Wylie returned home shortly after
II o'clock and at once went to his room
and deliberately shot himself, placing
the muzzle of a Smith & WessOn revOly-
er against his temple and sending
bullet into his brain, causing instan-
taneOus death. DIR. Ross, his physician,
states that Mr.. Wylie had been under his
treatment for some months for melan-
chOly and thought it was produced by
tumOr that had formed on the brain.
MIR. Wylie was member of the prosper
GUS firm of Wylie Brothers, who were
among the largest salt and shingle
manufacturers in the valley, and one of
the strongest firms in that section. The
deceased was 81 years old and widower.
his wife most estimable lady, having
died almost four years since. He leaves
one son, six years of age. His sister and
sister-in-law were keeping house for him
but were absent at the time the deed was
committed
The Courier says: SIN all the varied
relations of life, as a husband, father,
business man, citizen, WilliamWylie was
in every respect man among men,
Careful of his own good name, his habits
were of the most exemplary character,
and his word always as good as his bond.
He was one of the most conscientious of
men, generous, socially cOmpaniOnable
gentleman, and was regarded by all who
were favored with his acquaintance and
friendship as one the best of men and
neighbOrs. His death and the sad cir
cumstanceS connected Herewith was
the theme of conversation on the street
during the afternoon and evening, and
the subject of universal regret"

The Coming ArIou Concert.

The influence of music is far reach
reaching. Who is there that can express
its full effect on full effect OH the mind
Who can number the myriadS i'm all
ages who have been lifted away from
care and raised into new life and yigOr
by this great art of arts? No other in
fiuence so recreateS the mind and body
and calms the agitatiOns of the soul as
this the most magnificent and delight
full of human accomplishments. If this
be true. every encouragement ought to
be given to secure and perpetuate the
musical art in every community. Che
bOygan people in general have exception
ally fine musical ability, but that it is
latent and ought to be developed is plain
to all. The coming AriOn quartette con-
cert will undoubtedly tend toward
arousing dormant musical energies and
give an impetus to the art which may
prove of lasting benefit to this cOmmu-
nifty. The programme will comprise Sc
lectiOns both vocal and instrumental
from some of the best composers, while
enough of the lighter element will be
added to give it spice and variety. As the
occasion will an extremely enjoyable
one and withal for benevolent purposes,
none should fail to be present. Remem-

Raw City Daily Tribune.

Spring trade is about to open, and the
business of the ensuing year promises to
be the most prosperous and successful
of any one since the financial crisis of
1873. There can therefore be no more
favorable time than the present, for
those who have not already done so, to
subscribe for The Bay City Daily Tribune,
and to inform the public what they have
to sell, where it can be found, and what
inducements they have to offer purchas-
ers through its advertising columns.
1t is admitted that the Tribune is one
of the very best daily papers published
i'm Michigan. 1t is the purpose of the
editor and prOprietOrs to make it, year
by year, still more deserving public en-
cOuragement. 1t now has a larger cir
culatiOn in northern Michigan than any
other paper, and reaches its subscribers
twenty-fOur hours in advance of the De-
trOit dailies.
1t is therefore not only one of the best
newspapers in the state, but the best ad-
vertising medium, as it already goes in
to nearly every public house, and store.
and business place through all northern
Michigan. Wise, shrewd, intelligent
business men need only to be reminded
of its merits as a newspaper, and the su-
periOr inducements it offers them as an
advertising medium, to avail themselves
of the great advantages it offers them.
Of its continued unwavering devotion
to the interests of Michigan, and of
northern Michigan especially, as well as
to principles of the Republican party,
those who know anything of its past his
tory, need no assurance. Subscription
price $500 year or $500 quarter in
advance Editorial from Tribune.

The Cireuit on the Other Side of the
Straits.


The Legislature has been reconstruct
ing the Circuit Court districts in the
upper peninsula and have made one
composed of the four counties of Chip
pewa, Mackinac, SchOOlcraft and Mani
tOu. The many friends of our fellow
tOwnSman James J. Brown residing In
the circuit, have been urging him to be-
come candidate for judge of this new
district, and we understand he has placed
himself in the hands of his friends in
those counties i'm compliance with their
urgent opportunities for him to become
a candidate. The circuit, as organized,
will have an undOubted Democratic ma
jOrity, and nomination on that ticket
would be equivalent to an election.
Politically, we are opposed to Mr.. Brown,
but this fact does not prevent US from
acknowledging his abilities, which are
of the highest order, and so long as there
is no probability of judge of that cir
cult being elected who is politically in
sympathy with us we take pleasure in
recommending Mr.. Brown to our Demo-
cratic friends across the straits for the
position, believing that he would honor
the bench and prove an efficient Judicial
officer. his rare legal attainments par
ticuIarly fitting him for the office. Mr..
Brown has many friends in both parties
in ChebOygan who would rejoice to see
him elevated to the position.

Edgar COnkIing and the RAILROAD.
NEW YORK, March 4th, 1881.
,r of the NORTHERN TRIBUNE.

To the Editor of the NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
Your paper of 26th ult. just received in
which you have allowed an erroneous
and injurious statement to be made, to
the effect ''that | asked the modest sum
of $4,000 for the privilege of building
the j. l.. & S railroad through my prop
erty." Mr.. Barnes knows that to be false,
and it is designed to create a prejudice
in the event of our not agreeing on sum
for the ferriage points. and some near
1900 acres of land, on the north side of
the straits, which when agreed on,
based on the merits of the property, |
then proposed to donate each railroad
miles right of way and valuable grounds
for every needed purpose.
Should occasion require it, will mail
you for publication, copy of an argu-
ment as to the elements involved in such
property, suggesting value to be con-
sidered, sent Mr.. Ledyard in February,
dated January 20, 1881, soliciting con-
sideratiOn of what the price should be
for a property that will sell readily and
repay its cost, and cost of ferry docks
and ferry boats and leave a cOstless fer
ry, same producing 100000 annually,
besides thousands of acres situated just
where manufacturing population will
soon center, itself soon repaying my price
for ALL.
Those knowing my many years of eff
fort to get the two land grants to the
straits in 1853 and 1856 and their re-
newal, cut off by Chicago and its rail-
road at PetOSkey for fear of the straits
and the efforts to secure government land
through the north peninsula to benefit
and save the lands of the state, know me
too well to believe the statement when
many know | have always offered the
most liberal terms reasonable to expect
and the right-of-Way donated.
am ready to-day to take what cOmpe-
tent, fair minded business men of eX-
perience will say, for the ferriage prop
erty, near 1000 acres and near 10 miles
Of shore line. There will be a history of
sharp practices yet to be seen to which
have objected, and will object, and which
reminds US of the history Of Pontiac
near such spot in 1863 well known to ALL
NO man ever offered more liberal terms
to a railroad for property for position
not its equal on this continent for re-
suits to railroads.
Mr.. Ledyard has or has had my papers
with others interested in Detroit and
New York to whom l refer to deny the
statement. Also the Grand Rapids rail
road Co. and the d. NJ. & Nj. Co., know
that my offers embraced thousands of
dUTes anu nIIIeS OI SnOre IIHe, oopItS UI
which | have.
If condemnation should be res0rted to
the statement will mislead jury to con-
demn. My purpose has been and will be,
if not defeated by selfishness, to devote
the most of my valuable property for insti
tutiOnS that will be to the interest of all
and the pride of all, Of more value to all
interests than my price for which am
willing to sell, and it shall be seen that
the best and cheapest mode Of acquiring
my needed property for railroads is for
each to act on the merits of the property
desired. Yours Respectfully,
EDGAR CONKLING.

Plant Shaue Irees.

There is one thing that our village is
sadly deficient in, and that is shade
trees along our streets. This deficiency
in region where handsome naples can
be so readily had, is anything but cred
liable to our otherwise enterprising cit
;zens, and is commented upon by
strangers generally. There is nothing
adds more to the attractive appearance
of village or even city than nicely
shaded streets and walks. This lack i'm
orr village is probably due to the fact
that many efforts in the past to trans
plant naples have proved unsuccessful,
and from these failures an impression
prevailed that the transplanting could
not be successfully done, but the result
of efforts in that direction in the past
two or three years, we think is sufficient
to show that this was an erroneous i'm
preston, and that with proper care i'm
selecting thrifty trees and planting them
they can be made grow. There are a
number of naples i'm different parts of
the village that are growing nicely. We
hear of some of our citizens who intend
setting out naples this spring. Cannot
the move be made general one? If so,
few years would see a marked
improvement in the appearance of our
village. There is no reason why we
should not have one of the handsOmest
towns in the state.

1t is not likely that the prosecutions Of
the Jews in Russia are yet ended. The
recent proclamation of General Ignatieff,
he's been charged with the duty Of alleyi-
ating the difficulty, seems more like an
approval of the disturbance than like an
effort to enforce the law. With the tacit
encouragement of this paper from one so
high in station, the prosecutions are like
ly to break out again at any moment. 1t
seems to be an objectionable offence in
Russia as well as in Germany to know
how to make and save money better than

Director Swift, of the Warner Observ-
atory, Rochester, n. Y, at eleven o'clock
the 10th inst. discovered a faint comet
in the constellation of Cassiopea
having right ascension about an hour
and fifty minutes, declination North sew
enty-one degrees and motion slowly
westward. 1t has slight central con
denSaton but no tail visible. 1t is near
ly round. Swift estimates it's diameter
at about four minutes. 1t is possible
that the stranger is the comet Of 1872
which was expected to appear in the
North The comet is in a line between
the polaris and great cluster in Perseus,
little nearer Polars.
This is the seventh comet discovered
since january. Swift telegraphed the
discovery to Europe snd will probably Get
$500, the Warner prize, the second he
hes received this year and the fifth
awarded.
