Since the thaw several of our enter
prising business men, by the aid of
shOvels, have demonstrated the fact that
their is sidewalk in front Of their
places of business. Tuesday the shovel
brigade was out in force. o'ngt
Commissioners appointed by Judge OF
Probate Perkins, last week divided the
estate of the late Jas. F. Watson between
the four heirs. Their appraisement and
division of the estate. was so equitable
that the heirs were all well satisfied.
Capt. Jas. N. Riley has charge of Car
kin, Stickney and Grams dredges, tugs,
etc., laid up for the winter. One of the

tention and some muscular exercise at
the pump to keep her free from water.

can remember the good children.
Mr.. Dunbar, formerly connected with
the Detroit Post and Tribune has nearly
ready for publication Tourists Guide
to the Health and Pleasure Resorts of
Michigan" He has spent a portion OF
three seasons in visiting the various re-
sorts of Nothern Michigan and knows
whereof he speaks. He has made nu-
merous visits to this section and we have
no doubt the resorts in this vicinity will
be Justly mentioned and their various
advantages set forth.

lease it to some good party. Here IS al

the pleasantest spots in northern Michl
Gan and has already attained wld
reputation as delightful summer re

NV a very decided vote refused to adoT
a resolution for adjournment and 1t
doubtful if it will reconsider its actor
There is a growing sentiment in III
Senate in favor of sitting right throug
the recess in order to reduce the grea
mass of work on hand. Senator Congo
led the opposition to adjournment In on
of his forcible and witty speeches.
The lecture by DR.. Hartley on "Matr

for the benefit of the Congregations
church, was not so we'll attended as
should have been, only netting twen'
or twenty-five dollars. This was, III
doubtedly, largely owing to the very III
pleasant evening and possibly marie

Young folks may have remained ava
