taxpayers, and the Common Council
should take these two facts into con.
sideration. 1t is their duty to find
out whether the taxpayers, generally
desire to be taxed for this light, and
if they do, the Council should get the
best bargain for them that :.they can.
There need be no rushing about it.
The city has done without the lights
so far, and it can do without them for
a few weeks longer
If the city can be lighted by the
electric light, at reasonable cost, we
believe that the taxpayers will not OBJ
ject, and will cheerfully pay the cost
of the same, but if, in order to get the
light, the cost is to be excessive. then
we believe that the taxpayers would
prefer to do without them, and the
opinion is freely expressed that the
Electric Light Company desires too
much for its lights.
1t is good thing to have all the
modern improvements; it speaks well
for the enterprise and public spirit of
the citizens, but these improvements
can not be obtained for nothing; they
cost money; they cause heavier taxes
and consequently place heavier bur-
dens upon the people.
If the late elections meant any
thing, they showed that the people
wanted relief from taxation, and we
hope the Council will bear this in
mind, and not act hastily on this cleo
trio light business.

Broom Brigade.

The exhibition drill given by the
young ladies forming the Broom Bri
gade, took place last Wednesday
night at the Opera House, and was
such success, that it was repeated
the following night. The first night
the Opera House was crowded, and Oh
the second night the attendance wa;
good. The proceeds were for the ben
eft of the M. Z. Church. In addi
ton to the drill there was music, reel
tations, etc.
The Broom Brigade consists OF
twelve young ladies. Their uniform
consisted of neat white dress with
red trimmings, and for accoutrements
they carried small dust pan on
which were the letters "B. b." The
Brigade drilled in an admirable man
ner, and performed the various evolu-
tons in very praiseworthy manner.
They went through the manual OF
arms, marched in line, in file, in tours,
countermarched, wheeled in tours on
the center. formed circles and finally
stacked arms, and broke ranks. The
fun then commenced, as the brooms
and dust pans were sold at auction.
Among the audience there were, Of
course, certain young men who de-
sired to stand well in the estimations
of the fair soldiers, and they deter
mined to have the brooms welded so
gracefully by those whose good will
they were anxious for. There were
also others who knew this fact, and
determined that, if they got the
brooms, they should pay a good price
for them. The result was some spiri-
ted bidding and considerable amuse-
ment. The brooms ranged in price
from 80 cents to $50, and the dust
pans from 80 cents to $500. The
brooms and dust pans altogether
brought the sum of some $50 the Sec
ond night.
Lieut.. Burthwick, Of the Guards,
was the drill instructor. and the man.
ner in which the young ladies per-
formed their parts reflects great credit
on the Lieutenant as an instructor.

The amount of fish brought to this
port the present season, from the Duck
Islands, for the purpose of shipping to
various American markets, was 262,-
900 lbs. The shipment of fish from
the Duck Islands to this port is not as
great this year as it was last, owing
to the fact that considerable shipments
were made by way of Cheboygan, and
also, a large amount was shipped by
steamer Keweenaw, which took the
fish direct from the Duck Islands, and
did not report here.

A national bank, with a capital OF
100000, was organized in this city
last Saturday. 1t is designated as
"The National Bank of Alpena," and
the officers as as follows:

Vice-President,-C. w. Richardson
Cashier. G. Comfort.
Directors,-Geo. l.. Maltz, +. w
Gilchrist, III. III. Churchill, w. H.

The stock subscribed has been all
paid in, and we understand that the
Exchange Bank of Geo. l.. Malt7
will retire from business, and that
Mr.. Maltz will devote his time and
attention to the new banking compa.
ny. The stockholders are G.. L.

business standing of the stockholders
is such that the new bank cannot fail
to receive the confidence of the peo-
pie in this vicinity. The banking
business will be carried on in the
building now used as the Exchange
Bank, and the new banking company
will be ready for business some time
in January. The bonds are now be.
ing deposited at Washington, to Sc

seventh and eight. The seventh grade i
expected TO take commission and brokerage
capital and stock, partial payments and I
part of interest. The geography Of Asia
and Africa will he taken and Swinton'i
grammar will be commenced.
The eight grade will receive thorough
drill in annual and compound interest, par
tial payments, ratio and proportion, and
partnership. 1t will commence an ele.
mentary work on United States history and
give attention to parsing and analysis in
grammar.
This completes group of the work in
the grammar school. In all the rooms
careful attention is paid to reading, writing
and spelling and also to the preparation Of
special work in English.
From consulting the above maps, it will
be seen that the grammar school will fur
nish the bulk Of the work which can prop
erly be pursued by these of our young peo-
pie who can attend school these winter
months. But we are by no means to con-
clude that our high school offers no
advantages for any except the most adj
vanced scholars. AT least three of the
most interesting and valuable studies of
this course are to be commenced this term
philosophy, u. S. history, and physical
geography-while class in book keeping
will be organized if sufficient number
call for it. If we add to this the fact that
there are to be two classes in arithmetic,
one of which is to review Whites complete,
and another to pursue the critical study of
the subject in Stoddard's, we shall see that
even here there are many inducements held
out to those who wish to improve their
time. Besides the classes mentioned, there
will be classes in Latin grammar, general
history, algebra and arithmetic.
In the above enumeration there is moth
ing to be found which any person who de-
sires to be intelligent can afford to omit
and every one should wish to have a
thorough knowledge of each study we have
mentioned. That one is necessarily OBJ
liged to study everything found in grade,
is not quite correct. Each scholar is ex-
pected to keep busy. There is no time or
place in our public schools for scholars to
be either indolent or mischievous, and if a
scholar has the time for the work, he will
be required to do all the grade work. IT.
however, he can profitably spend his time
on part of the grade studies, or can pur-
sue part of the studies in one grade and a
part in another, he can ordinarily be ac-
commodated
We certainly hope that the coming term
will see large addition of earnest schol-
airs in these departments of our public
schools.

Electric Light.

The Common Council of this city
has been discussing the question of
lighting the business portion of the
city with the electric light, but up to
the last meeting they have not decid-
ed as to the course to pursue. There
is no question regarding the fitness of
the electric light for Illuminating the
streets-the discussion being princi-
pally in regard to the cost of the light,
and the consequent burden to the tax
payers, whose burdens are already
heavy. Some members of the Coun-
Gil are of the opinion that the lights
should be in operation all night, as it
would afford a good protection against
burglars, while other members think
it best to have the lights in operation
till eleven or twelve o'clock. Both
parties give good reasons for their diff
ferent plans.
The street lamps at present used are
not of much benefit. They cost for
oil, attendance, repairs, etc., about
five hundred dollars per year, and the
money is almost as good as thrown
away.
There is general desire, we believe,
that a better light should replace
them, and we believe that the taxpay.
ers would not object to being moder.
ately taxed in order to have the streets
provided with better lights.
When the electric light was first
talked of, it was stated that $1,000
per year would pay for sufficient cleo
trio lights to replace the present kerr
osene ones, and that those lamps
would brilliantly light up all the bus
mess portion of the city. AS the
lamps now used cost about $500 per
per year, the citizen would then gel
the benefit of the best known street
light, and be only taxed $500 extra
To this plan there seemed to be gen
eral assent.
From the discussions that have tax
en- place, it seems that it will require
considerable more than 81 900 pei
year to light the streets with the cleo.
trio light, and of course the Council
has hesitated to put more loads on the
taxpayers.
When citizen contemplates max
ing improvements on his premises, he
first considers, if he is wise, the state
of his finances. The question with
him is "can / afford it?" IF he can
he has the desired improvements made
and he is the better for it. IF he can.
not afford to make such improvements
and yet has them done, the result is
that, as rule, he gets involved in diff:
ficulties that cause him lots of trouble
and sometimes bankruptcy. The same
rule is equally applicable to corpora
tons, states and nations. The legis.
lator should consider whether the tax.
payers can carry any more burdens,
and whether the benefits to come from
their acts will more than offset the
disadvantages Of taxation. The cleo.
trio light on the streets will be ben
eft; there is no doubt about that
This benefit, however, can only be OBJ.

According to programme, the plan
ct Venus passed between the earth
and sun last Wednesday. A large
amount of clouds, which were not in
the programme, also appeared, and the
result was that Venus was hid from
view nearly all the time. About noon
break occurred in the clouds, and a
good view was obtained of Venus.
As seen through telescope, Venus
appeared like n small, round speck on
the sun, about as big as a marble, and
near the lower edge. AS the next
transit of Venus occurs some 121!
years from last Wednesday, we do not
think we shall wait to see it. Our
readers can use their own judgment
as to whether they will remain or not,
and see the next transit. Excuse us,
please, as we shall have other and
more pressing engagements.

During the present season 10 YES
sells have cleared from this port. In
addition there were numbers of YES
sells that loaded at this port, but did
not clear from here, as their clear
ances were taken at another port.
The list does not include but few
steamboats,, as their clearances were
also from other ports. If all the YES
sells and steamboats, that have entered
this port, the past season, had cleared
from here, the number would have
been over 1000.

New Freight Line.
President

Freights for all up-shore points will
this winter pass over the T. q B. G.
r. r., the arrangements being per-
fected, and will begin Immediately.
All freights will be shifted at Ster-
ling on the j. l.. d S. r. r. and con-
veyed from there to the west end of
the T. e. B. G. r. r. by Donahoe's
freight wagons,-nine in number, a
distance of eight miles, from which
point train will depart for this place
every evening. BY this arrangement
shipments from Bay City will arrive
here the same day. The rates will be
cheaper than heretofore, and far more
convenient, especially to the people Of
the Tawases. From here, freight for
up-shore points will be conveyed in
the old way. Trains will not be run
this winter for the convenience of pas
sengers, but all who desire to take
passage will not be denied the privil.
eye, but they will not be allowed to
interfere with the log, lumber, single
and other freight carrying.-Iosco

The commencement of a very heavy
installment of snow occurred in
this vicinity last Saturday evening,
and continued more or less all that
night and the following Sunday.
About foot of snow on the level was
the amount that fell on the ground.
The immediate result is frst-class
sleighing, and Of course a lively
movement of posts, ties, cord wood
and logs has resulted.
