In breaking passage through solid

Last Monday she made trip from st.
Ignace to Mackinac island through ice
that had been making for several days
and made 1t without difficulty.
Geo. w. Stimson, of Mackinaw City,
informs us that a force is at work at
that place getting the timber ready for
the cribs for the railroad dock. but that
the ice Is not yet strong enough yet for
them to commence building the cribs.
While many places in the state have
been visited with small pOx, ChebOygan
has fortunately 80 far escaped the dis
ease, but there is no telling how soon we
may be visited, and as vaccination is the
only sure preventative, all should see
that they are thus protected.

Mr.. and Mrs. T. T. Van Arsdale enter
taiped a house full of friends mt their
residence on Huron street last Wednes-
day evening. 1t was evident that all
present anticipated good time and in
this they were not disappointed, as Mr..
and Mrs. Van Arsdalde never do things
by halves. Their elegant residence was
crowded yet all were looked after and
entertained in q very agreeable man
ner.
The Marshall Expounder Of the 18th
has the following to say OF Mr.. NOyes,
the young lawyer who recently came to
our village and who at present is stop
ping In James j. Browns Office. "JOe s.
NOyes started Monday afternoon for Che
bOygan, which place he intends making
his future residence. Although young
man, Joe has an old head on him, and is
bound to succeed. We commend him to
the people of Cheb0ygan as one worthy
OF their esteem and confidence.
We acknowledge the receipt from
Prof. P. B. Spear, of Madison University,
Hamilton, N. Y, the annual catalogue
of that institution for 1882, which
shows 1t to be in very fourishing con-
ditiOn. 1t Is under the fostering care Of
the Baptist denomination and ranks
among the leading educational institu-
tions Of the country. Prof. Spear was
the father of G. r. Spear, who formerly
resided on Long lake and who died in
fall of 1876, lamented by all who had
the pleasure Of his acquaintance.
The Ogemaw County Herald, publish
ed at West Branch, says the report is
now current that Gustin, Merrill & Co.
will remove their branch store from that
place to ChebOygan on or about the first
day of April. This firm is one of the
leading Wholesale firms of Bay City and
are securing large trade in this sec
ton, and in the upper peninsula, and we
have no doubt would find it greatly to
their advantage to open store in Che
boygGn and make it the basis for supply
ing their wholesale trade Of this north
ern region, as during the season of navi-
cation they could secure favorable rates
Of freight on the goods needed.
Petitions are being circulated at diff
ferent lake ports and are being numer-
