n cUrrcs. .pOinicit oftn Tm's " Sf"a-
dtrd, of Nianistet, r'cently visited
Luther, and writes of the place us fol-
lows: ~ went to Luther, yesterday,
ns told you intended 10 do, and fun,
Il lively little burg of about 5iW lnhalr
itamts, I should Judge. II Is situated In
Ellsworth township, Lake county,
about II miles northwest Of Orono, Os-
ceol;. county, OH branch of the q. R.
Il i. II. II. II Is about one year old.
Luther & Wilson have an excellent
lumber mill, and another company arc
putting in an institution for making
coal. They have bought several thJVis-
and acres OF hard wood timber and pro-
pose to make coal and I'm connection
with that, various chemicals, such rs
sugar of lead, wood, alcohol, &c. The
institution will cost several thousand
dollars when completed. There Is al
so, gooL brick yard (and good brick
are made) a fair hotel for such place,
school with about 100 scholars, several
stores and business establishments.
No liquor sold. The people are moral
and strictly temperate and those In
power intend If possible to keep liquor
entirely out of the place.
AS to what point the railroad will
strike is yet undetermined, 5tit from
what could learn then, 1t is thought
it will eventually go to Manistec IN or
der to get at the pine west of Luther
and open up communication with the
lake shore. The road in all probahili-
ty will he extended about three miles
west of Luther, this Fall, to large
lumber mill In order to enable parties
to ship lumber from the mill. he.
lieve that fact Is settled and the road
will be built, this Fall, that distance.
Luther Is located in very good part Of
Lake county, there being great deal
of good farming land in that locality,
and being situated some distance from
any other town il likely to become
thriving little place. 1t will pay you
some day when you have time to visit
the place, aud think you will be as
tonished ut the growth of the place in
so short space Of time"
Through the courtesy of F. J. West
we learn that the Teachers Institute
which is being held ut Chase, this week
is conducted by Prof. N. H. Walbridge,
Of Grand Rapids, assisted by Prof. Geo.
s. Hicks, FISHERMAN, Wexford county.
The attendance is as numerous as can
we'll be expected, 20 of the teachers of
Luke county being present, deriving
much benefit from the instruction Civ
ell. Lectures OH the various studies,
with abundant illustrations, incidents
and endorsements given conversation
ally, have refreshed the minds of those
present, and given them fresh impc--
tus for the work. Instruction i'm insti-
tutes must of necessity he somewhat
general, yet sufficient is given in par
ticular to DC of practical use i'm school
room work. Teachers have opportnni
ty to form acquaintance with each 9th
er, aud thus gain knowledge of the
status of fschool work throughout the
county, W bich makes these gatherings
valuable for those who attend.
Settlers coming into this part of
Northern Michigan would do well to
examine lands, prices and terms of
the Land Department of the q. II. &
1. Railway before purchasing. The
company are selling off their lands
quite rapidly, but still have thousands
of acres of as good lands as the sun
ever shone upon; and are selling them
at prices and such time as to accom-
modate every energetic, industrious
settler to home. See their advertise
ment.
