ter of deer for the hides only, and the fact
that not less than 1900 deer, killed
mostly by professional market hunters
from other states were shipped out of the
state to eastern markets during the
three months just closed, should arouse
our citizens to sense of the Importance
of preserving this valuable game animal
in particular, for present and future
generations, before it is too late. A
large attendance is expected and desired.

THE NEW YEAR.
BY EARNEST.

1 wish to all a. a.'Happy New Year,"
Grim want afar off and friendship near.
Loves links to bind in firm happy band
Each household circle throughout every land.
May beneyolence reign with her shining face
Over the rich mans dwelling place;
Opening the door to poverty's sigh
With the kindly assurance that help is nigh.
Enter the dark lanes and lowly door
That leads to the homes of the squalid poor,
Give from her store, here and there mite
To render some sufferers burdens light.
For the diligent hand may employment lie
found;
May peace have full sway and may plenty
abound,
And oh, may the coming year be so spent,
AS to give back tenfold the talents God lent.

NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY, JANUARY 8. 1881.
Firemen's Meeting.

As announced in the TRIBUNE, last
week, an adjourned meeting of the Che
bOygan Fire company was held at the
Firemen's Hall last Thursday evening.
President Sutton presided and call of
the roll showed quorum present.
The repOrt of C. A. Gallagher, Treasur-
er, showed the company to be very COM
fOrtably suited financially, having a bal
ance of $141.96 on hand.
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year:
PRESIDENT. P. Sutton.
F0reman-W. G.. Hayes.
1st Assistant FOreman-W. w. Smith.
I'd Assistant-FOreman AL. Robinson.
Secretary-Lafayette Quay.
Treasurer-T. T. Van Arsdale.
Foreman of HOse-J. F. MOlOney.
Assistant Foreman of HOse-C. T. Alli-
son.
The Foreman, upon motion, was au-
thOrized to appoint the pipemen and ak
men. He was also authorized to attend
the next meeting of the village council
and request that lanterns and oil coats
be provided for the use of the company.
Upon motion the Secretary was re-
quested to prepare list of all members
in good standing and present the same
at the next meeting of the company.
We regret to say that there were but
few of those owning property in the vii
lage present at the meeting. This should
not be so. They are the very ones most
deeply interested in fire protection and
we can not see how they ca expect non
property holders to devote their time to
the interests of the company, while they
themselves stand back and apparently
take no interest whatever in having their
property protected.

The MOrey Letter.

Joseph Hart publishes an open letter
in his paper, the Truth, ITO General Gar
field. i'm which he acknowledges that the
Morey Chinese letter was forgery. In
an editorial article on the matter Truth
says that when it began to suspect the
forgery. it began thorough inyestiga-
ton:
"In doing this we enlisted the services
of b. G.. jayne, ESQ.,, who is we'll known
to the country as special treasury
agent. Our investigation resulted in the
discovery of positive proof that the letter
is an undOubted forgery. Having made
that discovery we now announce 1t. LIN
asserting as we do to day the true char
acter of the MOrey letter as developed by
our Investigations we make public all
that desire to establish the truth and
do Justice can require. Details OF our
investigation, facts discovered, and par
ties implicated will be made public at
the proper time in a court OF justice
where we now challenge meeting with
those who have vainly bent their ener-
gies to annihiliate the Truth, some OF
whom were themselves actually and
knowingly connected with the forged
letter before it came to US"
B. G. Jayne, referred to says that the
editor of Truth was imposed upon by
certain members of the National Demo-
cratic committee.

How it Pays TO Take a Paper

The testimony of Bill Arp is: Some
papers are not much account as to ap-
pearance, but | never took one that
didn't pay me, in some way, more than
/ paid for it. One time an old friend
started a little paper away down In
southwestern Georgia, and sent it to me,
and subscribed just to encourage him;
and so, after while, it published no
tice that an administrator had an order
to sell several lots of land at public
Outcry. and one of the lots awas insmy
county. So Inquired about the lot, and
wrote my friend to attend the sale, and
run it up to fifty dollars. He did so, and
bid off the lot for me at thirty dollars,
and 1 sold it in a month to the man it
Joined for hundred, so L made
Sixty-eight dollars clear by
taking that paper. My father told me
that when he was young man he saw
notice i'm a paper that school teacher
was wanted away off in distant county,
and he went there and got the situation.
and a little girl was sent to him, and
after while she grew up mighty sweet
and pretty, and he fell in love with her
and married her. Now, if he hadn't tax
en- that paper, what do you reckon would
have become of me? Wouldn't be
some other fellow, or, maybe, not at allf
