One of the friends of the NoRTHERNER,
who has been visiting at Traverse City, sends
US a communication, from which we make
the following extracts, as lack of room pre-
vents US from inserting it entire: Traverse
City is very pleasantly situated on the south
side of the Bay and is growing rapidly, hav-
ing at the present time five churches, good
union school building and several ward
schools. We visited one of the saw-mills
where they cut 100000 feet of lumber each
day, also a shingle-mill where they manu-
facture $4,000 shingles per day. A good
deal of the work in the shingle-mill is done
by boys from twelve to fourteen years old
We think it would do some of our Paw Paw
boys some good to have some such kind of
work. instead of spending their time in
bicycle riding. They have water works, and
there are hydrants all through the city. An
asylum is to be e.'ected there soon, 900 feet
long and four stories high. There is more
fruit in that region, of all kinds. than there
is here. The brooks abound with nice trout.
of which we had the pleasure of partaking.
They were caught by Fred Engle. We visited
at Fred Engles and Mr.. Ensigns, both of
whom formerly resided in Paw Paw. We
had pleasant visit and think we will 60

The papers are filed with reports from
all portions of our State, of damage to the
wheat from the continued wet weather, which
began on the 31st day of July. The great
majority of the farmers in this part of the
State had their crops secured, but even here
there is considerable damage, and no incon-
siderable loss incurred by reason of bad
weather. There never was fairer or pleas
anter weather in which to secure the wheat
crop, than there was during the past harvest,
only it did not last quite long enough and
some farmers, putting too much confidence
in the cool fair weather. had determined to
thresh in the field and save the cost of stack
ing or hauling into their barns. This is a
method that is always unsafe, and it seems a
little strange that farmer who has toiled
hard during the year and secured good
crop, should jeopardize the whole. by neg
lecting to secure it in the very best possible
way. True, it is not often that we have such
long continued. warm, rainy weather, but it
comes occasionally, and it is better to be on
the safe side when practicable. The lesson
TO be learned by wheat growers, from the
present season, is to harvest as soon as posi-
bic, and to secure the crop as rapidly as
practicable. A little extra effort, on the part
of those whose grain was unsecured, would
have saved many thousands of bushels in
good condition, that are now badly injured.

On Tuesday, when the wind storm began,
our friend, Charles Wernicke, who carries on
the tinshop, noticed peculiar cracking noise
among his tools, especially those which came
in contact with each other. He attempted to
solder piece of zinc, but when the copper of
the soldering iron touched the zinc it was
nearly thrown from his hand. II being the
first time Charley had ever heard of, or expe-
rienced anything of the kind, he was at loss
to know the cause, and kept at work until the
sparks began to fly around, when he con-
cluded il would be safer Out OF doors and he
left the shop to run itself, which, from the
noise among the tools as he departed, he
concluded il would be able to do, and ex-
pected on his return to find his tinware all
made up. 1t seems to have been an electric
storm such as have been known on several
different occasions in this part of the country.
We remember two years ago an account of
one at Red Rock, which was then the termi-
nus of the u. d N. A constant stream of
sparks was seen passing between the stove
and the coal-scuttle in Superintendent Wash
ington Dunn's Office. A man who attempted
to move the scuttle with his hands came
near being knocked down by the shock

The Democratic press is raising great
hue and cry, about what they are pleased to
term the river and harbor steal. The real
truth of the matter is that the bill making
appropriations for internal improvements
was in no sense a party measure. Perhaps
there were some of the appropriations that
had better not have been made, although the
particular Objectionable features have not
been pointed out, it being so much easier TO
condemn in general way, than it is to par
ticularize. If there is anything wrong about
this measure, the Democratic party is In no
condition to reap any advantage from il.
The following is the Republican and Demo
cratic vote on the passage of the bill over
the Presidents veto. In the Senate eighteen
Republicans voted for the bill and thirteen
against it. while twenty-three Democrats re-
corded themselves'in its favor and only three
against it. In the House the measure re-
ceived sixty-ive Republican votes and fifty
seven Democratic, while thirty-two Republi-
cans and twenty-seven Democrats voted
against it. 1t is exceedingly Pharisaic for
the Democratic party to cry Republican
steal in connection with this matter. 1t
simply illustrates the straits to which they
are driven, and the extent TO which they
rely on the lack of information among the
rank and file of their voters.

The Richland Rustic, published at Rich
land, Wis, contains half column notice of
our village, of which it speaks in very COM
plimentary terms. The correspondent of the
Rustic is little of, however, when he speaks
of our railroad, saying that its carrying ca
pacity is so limited that it cannot do the
business of the town, which is wholly incor-
rect as it possesses facilities for doing far
more than is required to be done, is being
rapidly extended, and in few weeks will
reach Hartford in this county, when it will
be nineteen miles in length. In speaking of
Paw Paw girls, the following language is
used:
II had almost forgotten to say that young
ladies are very numerous here. None of
them lack practical ability and muscle to pail
dozen cows of a Saturday night, and walk
four miles 10 q country dance thereafter.
Young men of Richland Co., who are desir-
Gus of securing healthy and profitable wife,

she came home from Europe on the Bothnla

to send the papers in the case TO the district
