worn with comfort.
Rev. w. M. Campbell is member of
the committee on Conference Claim
ants" of the Detroit Conference.
No regular pastor was appointed by
the Detroit Nj. E. Conference for Indian
River or Riggsville, both are to be sup
piled.
The logs below the dam Thursday were
quite sight. They were jammed in all
manner of shapes, and piled up several
tiers above the water.
The propeller Canada, Wednesday
morning, landed fifteen horses and two
mules for numbering firm operating
near Cadillac. Duties were paid at the
custom house at this port.
The Atlantic brought up on her last
trip the material, all ready planed and
ready to be set up, for number of build
ings to be erected at Mackinac island
for Gambler Brothers of Detroit.
Last Tuesday the Atlantic landed fifty
cases of mining candles for the Perkins
mine at Norway Mich. They were re-
shipped on the VanRaalte Wednesday to
go by the way of Manistique and Escan-
aba.
The tug Katie, the smallest of the
mosquito fleet, brought down lighter
load of cedar shingles Wednesday from
4. S. Warren's mill at Indian River.
They were left with S. Baker & Son for
sale.
Mcdonnell, Carter & Co have rented
the north part of Chas. Brannack's ware
house, next to S. Baker e Sons dock
and are making preparations to enter
upon the fishing business from this
port.
Re-. A. Westgate, pastor of the Con-
gregatiOnal church of Alpena. has kind
Iy consented to occupy the pulpit at the
Congregational church for couple of
Sabbaths. by which time Rev. HARTLEY.
ID. ID. expects to be here with his family
and assume the pastorate.
Some of the boys around town are
making too free use of their sings in
throwing stones, and if caught will get
themselves in trouble. Several windows
in the school building were broken and
also some in both the Methodist and
Congregational churches. The bomb
ardment of the latter church occurring
during the day Sunday.
Instead of the building boom decreas-
ing as the season advances, as was pre-
dicted would be the case by some, it
seems to be on the increase and go where
you will you can see new buildings
springing up as if by magic. Nor is it
confined to either side of the river, both
sides enjoying the boom.
P. M. LathrOp is making arrangements
to operate extensively in cedar at Drum
monds Island the coming winter. He
and Hitchcock & Foster of Chicago,
who are interested with him, have pur-
chased about 1000 acres of excellent
cedar land and propose harvesting
large crop for next season.
The cold weather of the past few days
has had a bad effect upon our summer
resort hotels and guests thinned out
rapidly. The season has not been
very favorable one as far as the weather
is concerned, being too cold. but not
withstanding this drawback we believe

During the thunder storm of last Sun
day the fishing tug Martel owned by
Coats & Arnold, at Mackinac had close
call. She was returning from the fish
ing ground when bolt of lightning
passed so close to her as to knock down
and completely stun one of the crew,

Brother Gibson, editor of the Northern
Spy. st. 1gnace, paid our village a visit
short time since, and last week chrOni-
cled his impression of our town as fol-
lows: "ChebOygan, to which we made
trip last week, is growing rapidly, and
is destined to be the leading town of the
Lake Huron shore. The building done
