NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY, AUGUST 26, 1882.

morning and returning In the evening.
The Greenback party of this county
sent Stephen Kissinger and w. A. Nc
Henry as delegates to the state conven-
ton.
Jesse Hoyt's will contains requests to
East Saginaw of 40 acres for public
park and of four lots and 100000 for a
public library.
Rev. Barlow, of Alpena, will conduct
the services at the Baptist church, to-
morrow, both morning and evening, at
the usual hours.
The new depot building at AlansOn,
on the Mackinaw extension of the Grand
Rapids & Indiana railroad, is said to be
one of the finest on the road.
Monday morning satchel was found
in S. Baker & Sons new coal shed, that
had been cut open, and evidently ri1ed
of its contents, as it was entirely empty.
Coup's circus is announced to be in
ChebOygan Sept. 9th. He is having a
hard time of it. few days since in
Illinois in a collision of the cars he
suffered considerable loss and Wednes-
day, at Detroit, numerous attachments
were issued against his show. The
matter was arranged so that he could
exhibit, and the papers of that city
speak in the highest praise of the show.
We see by the papers that there is talk
of establishing a through line of boats
from Chicago to OswegO, to make trips
twice a week, under the management of
PhilO Chamberlain, the old manager of
the Northern Transit line, who it is
claimed, is now negotiating for some
large, first-class steamers to form the
line. Mr.. Chamberlin always appreci-
ated the business of ChebOygan and it
is probable this will be one of the stop
ping places should the line be started.
Major HARDWOOD has advertised for
proposals for working out the appropria-
tiOns for Cheboygan harbor, the amount
$4,000 to be used for dredging. Full
information, specifications, and blanks
can be had by applying to Major Har
wood at the office of U. S. Engineers, De-
troit. Proposals are to be opened Tues
day, Sept. 18th. This amount if properly
expended, and we have no doubt it will
be used to the best adv intage, will
secure a sufficient depth of water to
allow the largest lake craft to enter our
harbOr and boats that now refuse to
come in, for lack of water, as is claimed,
will then have no excuse for not calling
Last week trunk came up on the
Flora for man in the village. He took
it up to his boarding place and went to
change his clothe, when, upon opening
the trunk, imagine his surprise to find
it filled with female toggery, some of it
very elegant. The trunk was exactly
like his, his key fitted the lock and when
he received it he never doubted it being
his, 1t is quite probable that the lady
got his trunk and was as greatly sur
prised as he when she opened it. The
mistake shows the Importance of having
baggage properly marked with the name
of the owner. When they are not so
marked the great similarity of trunks
make such mistakes very likely to occur.
Mr.. Ayrault evidently intends that
there shall be no further trouble from
the bursting of the elbows in the water
mains, near the pump house. He has
had quite large hole excavated around
each elbow, the bank cut down smooth
and maple planks driven down endways,
With this for backing he has had the
elbows encased in stone wall, laid with
cement, the whole forming solid piece
of masonry, which looks as though it
might stand until Gabriel blew his
bugle. We are Of the opinion that the
trouble from this cause is over, and do
not believe there will be any further
difficulty in getting the works into OPP
Grafton.
As Is we'll known to most of our citi-
Zens, j. p. Sutton since the first week in
July, has been doing more or less bust
ness as justice of the peace, upon the
strength of certificate of election sign
ed by c. A. Gallagher, chairman of the
board of inspectors at the spring cleo
ton in the township of Benton. Re-
