The test of the water works, week
ago last Saturday, developed some de-
fects in the pipes, the pressure forcing
the water up along the line Of mains
at different places. The pipe company
were promptly notified of the trouble
and yesterday Mr.. Ayrault arrived with
one of the fOremen of the company to
see that the pipes were put in good or
der. The work of digging them up,
where defective, was commenced yester-
day.

The rain spoiled an interesting game
of base ball this week. The Eurekas
were going to show the ChebOygan club
how to play base ball, and induced their
old catcher, Joseph Inglesby, to come
over Tuesday to take part in the game,
but too much moisture prevented the
game that day and he was induced to
remain over until Wednesday, but it
was worse if anything, than Tuesday.
AS soon as there is prospect of fair
weather he is expected over again, when
the match will.take place.
Quite severe thunder storm passed
over the village last Sunday, lightning
striking two or three houses in the village
but fortunately doing but little damage.
One bolt struck the flag staff on the
Howell block, completely demOlishing
1t, then followed down rafter making
splinters of it, knocking hole through
the roof and down into the upper story,
where it passed out of window. A
house on the east side of the river Oc-
cupied by Mr.. Corlett was also struck
and the chimney somewhat damaged.

A serious accident happened last Tues
day morning, at the new addition Mr..
Melville is putting up to his building
at the corner of Third and Water streets,
occupied by M. & B. MolOney. Four men
were engaged in shingling, when the
scaffOlding gave way, and two of the
four fell some twenty or twenty-five
feet to the ground, receiving serious in
juries. The unfortunate men were M.
DelOre and his sOn-in-law, Jules Pepin,
both having come here lately from Bay
City. The former had his thigh broken
and the latter was badly injured inter-
nally. DR.. GerOw attended them and
did all that was possible for them.
We congratulate our citizens, and the
Methodist church in particular, that Rev.
w. nj. Campbell has been reappOinted
pastor of that church in this village.
The conference wisely concluded that
Mr.. Campbell was the right man in the
right place. as has been shown by the
good work he has accomplished for the
church during the pest two years. This
has not been accomplished without much
hard labor, both on the part of Mr..
Campbell and his estimable wife. and it
is nothing more than due him that hay
succeeded in getting affairs in such a
prosperous shape that he should be per-
mitted to return and enjoy the result
of his labOrs.
