circumstances of a sad and serious acci-
dent that occurred here. AS the children
at school were at recess they were hav-
ing lots of fun catching on sleighs, and
one of them Miss Susie Haskins in fall
ing was caught by the left arm under
the runner and the arm was so badly
bruised and the bone broken
that it was absolutely necessary to am
putate the arm about four inches below
the shoulder joint.
She proved herself perfect little he

more fortitude than nine tenths of
adults would. She is perfect little

Michigan and IL. Resources.

The Detroit Free Press of Tuesday
publishes an article showing some of
the work engaging the attention of Col.
Morely, Commissioner of immigration,
and his assistants. Last week they re-
ceived 900 applications for the pamphlet
entitled michigan and its Resources"
The most of the letters only ask for
a copy of the pamphlet, but many ask
for information not contained therein
and these are all answered by letter.
The Free Press publishes number of
extracts from different letters all show
ing that the book is doing good work in
attracting attention to our state. The
letters come from about every state in
the union and many from Europe. The
following letter is somewhat amusing to
those who reside in the state but shows
what eronious opinions may be enter
tanned of our state by even an intelligent
Englishman.

Railroad Notes.

The railroad continues to do both
large passenger and freight business.
Several car loads of copper ore passed
through here last week and this bound
down. They were transferred from the
ID. M. & M, by the Algomah and lighter.
A large Fairbank scale has been placed
in the freight warehouse at the station.
A reduction of 5 cents per hundred
pounds has been made on all classes of
freight between Chicago and this point.
The trains this week have been on
time.
Monday the ice carried away five of
the cribs that had been built for the
Mackinaw dock. The Algomah succeed
ed in recovering four of them. Several
car loads of stone were taken up Sunday
for loading the cribs but had not been
filled in.

A Change of Pastors.

Last Sunday Father Van Gennip
preached his last sermon as pastor of st.
Mary's church, and Monday morning
took his departure for his new field of
labor at Ecorse, short distance from
Detroit. The children of the narochial
school were at the station in body to
bid farewell to their more than father.
Father Van Gennip during pastOrate
of five years proved faithful and eff
cient worker and succeeded in uniting
the church and building up very har-
mOniOus feeling among the members of
his church, all of whom are saddened
over his departure. During his stay
here he not only secured the friendship
of his own people but made many warm
friends among the members of the other
churches and was highly respected by
all. The best wishes of the entire COM
munity 60 with him. His successor is
Father DeSmit, formerly of Hubbard
ston, young man who is very highly
spoken of by some of our citizens who
have enjoyed the pleasure of his ac-
quaintance in former years. We trust
he may successfully carry on the good
work inaugurated by his predecessor
and we extend him cordial greeting to
his new field of labor.

SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 1S. 1882.
A Mistake somewhere.

One of the mysteries of this world past
finding out is the management of the U.
S. mail service. Some egregious blunder
has been committed by some person in
regard to the forwarding of mail to our
neighbors living on the other side of the
straits. 1t is well known that last week
mail service commenced on the railroad
and the star route from Cheboygan to
Mackinaw City was discontinued in con-
sequence. For few days everything
worked smoothly and mails for the
northern peninsula were forwarded reg
ularly. Last Tuesday however all mail
for points beyond Mackinac City was
uncerimoniously dumped off at this
station and since that time this has
been the case. The route agents say
they have orders to that effect. The
reason for this, we understand, is the
fact that there has been no contract
made yet with the AlgOmah for carrying
the mail across the straits. Postmaster
fOru TecelNeu leGbtI llOlu Jlo SupeIlH-
tendent of mails for this division, ask
ing him how he was forwarding mail to
Mackinac and st. Ignace. He replied, of
course, that he was not sending it at all.
After Wednesdays mail was received
Mr.. Ford had eleven large sacks Of mail
destined for beyond the straits. Thurs
day Postmaster HOmbach, Of st. Ignace,
came over to see what could be done.
He telegraphed the superintendent that
he would see that the mail was trans
ferred by the AlgOmah until such time
as contract was closed IL he could get
permission to do so. This is the cOndi-
tiOn of affairs, or was, and our friends
at st. Ignace, Sault Ste. Marie &C., are
suffering fer the lack of their mail. The
question is, who is responsible for the
blunder? Thursday afternoon Mr.. Hon.
bach received telegram authorizing
n m to AXE the mail forward and he
done so.

TOWNSHIP OF NUNDA, Feb. 6, 1882.
We occasionally see piece in the
TRIBUNE from Indian River, so thought
perhaps few words from Wolverine
would not go amiss. We do not get our
mails very regular but hope soon TO
have them carried on the trains all
right.
Our station is doing very well. Mr..
Dunlap is doing very good business in
the the dry goods busines, and there are
two more stores in course of erection.
one grocery and provision store and the
other general store, dry goods and pro-
visions.
George Franklin is getting out wood
and telegraph poles and ties and put
ting them alongside the track, and al
together 1t seems to be quite lively little
place.
Our depot is completed and is nice
one. Snow is plenty now; enough for
all kinds of teaming.

The Van Raalte.

The work of improving this well
known steamer has been progressing
satisfactorily, good use having been made
of the several days of fine weather en-
joyed this week. The cabin is being ex-
tended farther aft, which will give them
a nice ladies' cabin and number of
state rooms. Capt. Bouchard is actively
engaged looking up business for the
summer and anticipates a good trade.
Of course she will continue on the old
route, of which she is the pioneer. The
time table for the coming season has
been arranged as follows: Leaving Che
boygan every Monday and Friday after
moons, st. Ignace Tuesday and Saturday
mornings. reaching Manistique the
evening of the same day; returning
leaving Manistique every Wednesday
and Sunday mornings,running through
to Cheboygan the same day. This will
make her day for laying over here Thurs
days instead of Saturdays, as last sea-
son.
Captain Bouchard says he will stop at
Beaver island one trip, each way, a weel,
and if the citizens of the island furnish
business enough to justify it he will
stop every trip. Also that he will stor
at Gull and Trout islands for the con.
m0datiOn of the fisherman engaged al
those points.

The electral storm of Friday and
Saturday extended all over. The bust
ness OF the telegraph company was car
ried on with great difficulty. The dis
turbance is different from any hereto
fore experienced, as it appeared to act
upon the wires in strong waves, causing
constant changing of the polarity Of
the current. Reports from Omaha
state that the aurora borealis was very
brilliant at that point, the illumination
being almost as bright as day. AT st.

a bloodred color, the display being
grand and fearful. A great storm ex-

Governor Stanford in an interview at
st. Louis on his way East said the line
from San Francisco to New Orleans,
via the Texas Sunset route, is practi-
caily finished, there being little more
to be done, and the trains will soon be
running from the Pacific Coast to New
Orleans. He also looks for an Eastern
outlet in the future from New Orleans
by the Chesapeake and Ohio, and then
they will have a continuous rail from
San Francisco to New York, under Pa
cific coast management, something,
Stanford says, he has promised the
California people shall be done before
a great while.
