We learn from j. Coverdale, Of a
serious fire that occurred on the
premises of A. r. Beavers Of Civil
Bend, last Thursday night soon after
8 o'clock. 1t consisted in the burn
ing Of MIR. Beavers stables, sheds,
etc, destroying Herewith the lives
Of six head Of horses, a span of
mules and q calf, all belonging to
different members of his family;
two sets of donble harness were also
consumed, besides quite a bit of 9TH
er property that would naturally be
found in and around a large stable.
The fire was not discovered till well
under way, and the wind blowing
hard upon it nothing could be done
to save the stock, which broke loose,
huddled together in the middle Of
the stable and persisted. The loss
is considerable, MS some of the
| horses were excellent animals. The
| origin of the fire can not be definite
ly stated.

Sphinx, Dec. 20, 1881.

Quite a number OF our lads and
lasses took in the dance at Elk Point
Monday night. They report a fine
time and that the Elk Pointers did
themselves proud in their attentions
and hospitality, and would not al
low them to pay q cent. Such at-
tentions as the Vermillicnites receiv-
ed at the hands of our neighbors go
a long ways towards cngendering
that kindly and social feeling that
should exist between citizens of two
towns. We trust Vermillion will
not be found wanting should an OPP.
portuni.y occur Of returning the
compliment Eymiuioa Republican.
Norway is in the midst OF q con-
troversy between its storthing or par
lament and the king. The king
has refused his assent to a bill which
has passed the storthing three times.
1t is claimed that the king can no
longer lawfully refuse his assent. bnt
he does SO nevertheless. The result
is that many Swedes and Norwe-
gians believe it would be a good
idea to dispense with shs king alto
gether, and are accordingly advoca-
ting a Republican form Of govern
merit. Experience in this country
shows that the Swedes and Norwe.
gians make very good citizens Of o
republic.

sudden Death.

Wednesday morning among the pas
sengers who walked ashore on the ice,
was man who dropped dead just as he
reached the shore. He was well dress
ed man of about As years of age. A cor
oners jury was summoned and after in
vestigation of all the facts and circum-
stances, rendered verdict that heart
disease was the cause of his death. From
letters found upon his person, it was as.
certained that his name was Jas. CHS.
holm of Paisley Ontario. His remains
were properly cared for, and shipped by
Thursday mornings train to his friends
in Canada, who had been informed by

The Water Works Well

W. r. Coats, Of Kalamazoo, an engi-
neer of large experience in the cOnstruc-
tiOn of water works made our village a
visit the early part of the week and
made careful examination of the 10
cation of the proposed water supply for
the village. A very favorable water
bearing stratum six feet six inches in
thickness was found within fifteen feet
of the surface from which the water
rises and OverAows the tube one foot
above the surface He also states In his
report to the council that the everything
,lay stratum affords full protection to
the water bearing stratum from all con-
taminatioR from surface filth, thus in
suring pure water and an abundant sup
ply. He recommended a we'll twenty
five feet in diameter which would cost
$1,157. The council adopted Mr.. Coats
recommendations, and authorized the
secretary of the board Of water commits
siOners to advertise for proposals to
construct the same.

The Alpena Railroad.

We notice in the AIpena Pioneer an
extract from letter which was received
in that city from the president of the
Alpena Railroad company under date of
February 18th in which he says:
Your people pledged us the right Of
way, station ground, and $4,000 bonus
if we would build road. We have sur
veyed the line, and paid $1,000 for SER
vices for man to work up the right OF
way; and the only people along the line
who have turned in and helped earnest
ly, doing genuine work. have been at the
Tawas. This is not fair; nor is it fair
that we should pay for getting up the
right of way, as that was your part, and
your own proposition. NOwyOu procure
the balance of this right of way, and
send us $4,000 good bonus notes, pay
able at the points built to-. when the
road gets there, and we will build that
road, commencing this spring. The
directors expected this aid long ago, and
will not start till it comes"
Now it seems to us that this is pretty
plain talking to people who have been
talking railroad, and making such liber.
al propositions to secure one as our AL.
pena friends have been doing for several
years past. Is it possible that this
talk has been bluster, and when the
time comes to act that they will not be
there? We hope not. If Alpena wants
railroad it would seem that now was
the accepted time for them to come
down with the collateral.

The Horse Race.

On account of the snow and ice melt
ing off the race course 1t was thought
that the races advertised to take
place last Saturday would have to be
postponed, but Saturday forenoon some
Of our sporting men decided to have the
first part of the programme carried out
and purse for that purpose was soon
raised. Four horses owned by Michael
Carmody, Geo. Paquette, Joe Affair and
T.J. Crumley, were entered. Before
starting Affairs and Crumley's horses
seemed to be the favorites among the
betting men. The place to have the
race was decided to be on Black river
just above the forks where the ice was
firm although rather rough. The first
money was taken by CarmOdy's horse In
the first two heats, Geo. Paquette's horse
coming In second and Joe Affairs third.
1t was pretty cold and the crowd In at
tendance was rather small.

Complimentary.

We last week noticed that Rev. p. j.
Desmedt from Hubbardston was to take
charge of the Catholic church at this
place. From the HubbardstOn Adyer-
tiser we take the following notice which
shows the respect and affection with
which the reverend Father was held by
the residents of that place regardless of
church affiliations.
A gathering of quite number of the
friends of Rev. p. j. Desmedt, both pro-
testant and catholic. was held at DR..
Kelly's residence Tuesday evening, to
A fine social visit was enjoyed, which
was enlivened with several speeches
testifying to the esteem with which the
retiring pastor has been regarded by not
alone his parishiOners, but all with
whom he has come in contact. The re-
cipient was deeply affected by these
manifestations Of respect, and expressed
in feeling terms the regret with which
he parted from so many kind friends,
whom he should ever hold in affectiOnate
remembrance.
At a meeting of the HubbardstOn
Branch Of the Land League the following
resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS. we learn with regret that our
dearly beloved pastor and worthy president
Rev. p. j. DESMEDT is about to remove to
Cheboygan; therefore.
Resolved, That we, the members Of the
Hubbardston Branch of the Irish N. L. L. in
meeting assembled, do hereby give expression
TO our sorrow at the removal from our midst of
Father DESMEDT.
Resolved That this Branch sustains Sc
riOus loss in the departure of our president who
ever and at all times was foremost in adyan-
cling the cause of Ireland and the principles
which we as Land Leaguers advocate.
Resolved, That i'm leaving us he takes with
him our heartfelt and affectionate regards and
best wishes.
Resolved, That these resolutions be published
In the Hubbardston Advertiser and Detroit
Home Journal, and spread upon the minutes
Of this organization.

Steamboat Arrangements.

The Peoples Line during the coming
season will consist Of three first class
steamers, instead Of two, as formerly.
The steamers are now undergoing a
thorough overhauling. and will be out
in about month in good shape for the
summers work. The line will consist
of the steamers Pearl, Keweenaw and
Nashua, and one of them will leave De-
troit for Alpena, Cheboygan, Mackinaw
and st. Ignace every Tuesday, Thurs
day and Saturday. 1t Is also understood
that Mr.. Chamberlain is negotiating for
boat to run in connection with the
Flora, thus making another line, and
almost daily boat.

Shooting Array

There was shooting affair at Bruce
Mines, Ontario few days since in
which Peter McRae, we'll known here,
was the principal participant. The
trouble occurred through some difficulty
arising from horse trade. The bar
room in which the row occurred was
crowded on account Of concert being
held in town, and Wien Mr.. McRae en-
deavored to settle the difficulty and his
antagonist at the same time by the use
of his pistol there was a scattering of
the crowd that eye witnesses described
as very ludicrOus. Mr.. McRae it Is said
fired six or seven shots in the crowded
room but we believe no one was injured.
He was arrested and put in charge of
two officers, but during the night in
some way managed to elude them, and
hired team and made out to reach the
American line and cross just as the pur-
suing Canadian officials came up to him.
Mr.. McRae passed through here last
week, but we did not hear of his telling
of his exploits in craftsmanship. The
Queens attorney of the district of Algo-
ma has made an application to the head
government for requisition for his ex-
tradition and it would seem that Mr..
McRae was not entirely out Of the woods
in the matter as yet.

The AIgOnlah.

The ferry AlgOma had some trouble in
crossing the straits during the past week
owing to the heavy storm and the con-
sequent piling up Of the ice. Saturday
morning Capt. Ames started out, but did
not get across in time enough for the
train; however he crossed In the afternoon.
Wednesday morning the boat got within
about half mile of the docks when the
heavy icebergs prevented any further
progress. The passengers walked ashore
on the ice and took the train, which
passed through here about an hour late
in consequence. Thursday morning the
transfer was made the same way.
In this connection it is but just to say
that there are none but whom speak in
the highest praise of Capt. Ames, as be-
ing the right man in the right place.
Under the above unpleasant
circumstances there was nothing
left undone which he could do to add to
the comfort of his passengers.

The Elkton Home Mission Band.

The chaste interior of the Presbyterian
as on Thursday evening the occasion of the
first anniversary of the Elkton Home Mis-
sion Band The floral decoration of the
chancel space was strikingly beautiful, the
aesthetic lily, the blazing ger;iniun, and the
waving palm, converting 1t into perfect
conservatory. The Home Mission Band
owes its orr gin to the religious zeal OF Mrs.
w. w. Heberton, who has every reason TO
congratulate herself and her little workers
upon the results of its first year work. The
identification of some one or more persons
as the beneticIaries of Mission work, is an
excellent idea to excite the activity and in
tereSt of children. The special work Of the
Band is the education OF a little girl
Florence, an Alaska Indian, member of
of Miss Anstin's Mission School at Sitka.
In November last two large contributions
of clothing We're made her, beside monies
collected by the weekly contributions of the
Band, which now numbers twenty seven
members Mrs. Heberton is its President:
Miss Maggie Gilpin, Vice Presidents Miss
Salle Manly, Secretary and Elva Gilpin,
Treasurer. The programme of Thursday
evening was pleasing, and the individual
performance very creditable. Bessie Manly,
Bessie Scott, Salie Manly, Elva Gilpn, and
Lizzie Smith, rendered the recirations of
the evening very lrceptably. The music
was excellent Mr.. Geo. \. Blake presiding
with his usual skill at the organ. DR.. Dulles
of Philadelphia, made 4 short address, tax
ing AS the suggestion OF his remarks, the
text "To every man his work" The crowd
cd audience room indicated the interest felt
ON the occasion, which doubtless will excite
extra endeavor for the present year, with
