The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1882-08-25

Charles Dickens once said that the typical
American would hesitate about entering
Heaven, unless assured that he could go far
ther West. Going West is still potent
phrase to stir the blood of the enterprising
and adventurous, and the farther West you
go the greater seems to be its power. The
men who lead the advance of the army of
civilization on the frontier skirmish-line do
not come from the rear. They are always
the scouts and pickets. The people of the
six-weeks-old town do not come from the
East AS rule they are from the one-year-
old and two-year-old towns a little farther
back. Most of the men l met in the Yellow
stone country were from Eastern Dakota, or
the Black Hills region, or from Western
Minnesota. When asked why they left
homes so recently made III new country,
their reply was invariably that they wanted

O. W. ROWLAND,

WM. III. MASON,

A recent letter from Jos. Kilburn reports
him still at the sea-shore, and gives glowing
account of life at Cape Cod. One of the
chief attractions is a veritable old sailor,
Capt. Kelly by name, who calamity takes the
ladies out sailing, or entertains them with
tales of the briny deep. One of his stories
time who lived in a little hamlet where
large schools of black fish often came up on
the shoals and were driven ashore by the
inhabitants for the sake of their oil. Now
sometimes these fish would appear in large
numbers just at the time when all were en-
gagged in divine service at the little chapel, 40
this accommodating pastor arranged win
dow in the rear of his pulpit and, whenever
he Glanced to spy them coming, would sing
out, BLACK fish on the shoals" and soon
none but women and children would remain
to his exhortations And that was in puritan
New England.
Pursuant to law, the examining board met
at the Office of the county clerk, Aug. 22d, to
elect a secretary for the ensuing year. After
an animated conversation, during which Mr..
Burkett tried to convince the other members
that he had a superior claim to said Office,
they proceeded to business, which resulted
in the election of Prof. Upton, Mr.. Burkett
voting blank. The latter gentleman will
now act as chairman, as the statute prescribes
that "the school examiner, other than the
secretary, whose term of office will soonest
expire, shall be the chairman of said board"
