Anus0nents,

On last Thursday evening Miss Eldredge, at
her home on the west side, entertained the young
people, known last year as the Racquet Club.
Some 10 or IS couples were present, and most
enjoyable evening was spent. It was the first
social entertainment Of the kind had in Ottawa
for several months, and those present have to
thank Miss Edredge for a decided treat. The
evening was spent in dancing, which was con.
tinued until late hour, Willis's orchestra hav-
ing quite delighted every one with programme
Of new and excellent music, which contributed
not little to the pleasure Of the evening.
-
The Musical Association are preparing for an
other public rehearsal, which will be given in a
week or two. The programme promises to be
even better than the last one.
The Harmony Club are preparing for produc-
ton early in May Sheridan's "Rivals" This SUI.
quite treat may be expected when it is produced
by this excellent party of amateurs.
Sells Bros circus will show in Ottawa on Fri
day, May Goth.
The King e. Castle Celebrities drew only fair
house Oh Tuesday evening. The entertainment
was about what one sees at the Lyceum, Chica-
goa specially performance, in which there was
little positive bad and little remarkably good It
was clean as such shows usually are, the humor
being rather broader than deep. The perform
ance seemed to please the audience well at the
time, though next day they seemed to have for
cotton the good things.
"Our COLLINS on Thursday evening had only
q small house. Their performance is an imita-
ton OF Salsburys Troubadours. Their music
was excellent, and the piece was handsomely
dressed; but withal they don't seem to have
made great hit here.

The Detroit News gives the follow
ing good advice to Michigan hunters:
Don't look into a gun to see why it
didn't 60 off; the gun was only wait
ing to see the white of your eye.
Don't blow into a gun; the man who
blows into a gun has for his epitaph,
Gle died as the fool dieth." If your
comrade carries his gun with the muz-
zle pointed at your pericardium, hit
him in the back of the neck with the
butt of your gun. IF it breaks his
neck don't feel bad, for he will make
a better looking corpse than you
would with your ticera blown into
tatters. Don't crack nuts with a gun
there is more fun over nuts that have
not cost a funeral. Don't let your
imagination make the top of your
comrades head look like a grizzly
bear and fire at him such mistakes
have occurred in this State four times
already this fall-fatal every time
Finally, don't go into the woods at all
for nine out of ten of you don't know
enough to handle gun anyway.

From the Bay City Call.
This logging railroad, which is Ii
able to bear an important part in the
future railway connections of the
shore, has lately received one hundred
tons of steel rails, part 80 and part 35
pounds to the square yard, and will
have ten miles of new track laid with
them by Dec. LIST, after which time
freight will be taken every day from
Bay City to East Tawas and Oscoda.
The track will be laid to within seven
miles of Wells station, on the north

100000 feet of logs will be taken out

be changed, and-a gentleman who
ought TO know assures the writer that
this is the entering wedge, as it were
of the railroad from Saginaw, via
Freeland, to Alpena, and that within
the next six months will be active all
along the line, and by the close Of the
year 1883 the major part of the line
will be completed. The general de-
preston in railroad matters last spring
is given as the general reason for de-
lay, and the sickness Of Jesse Hoyt
is the special reason why the promises
of year ago, made in good faith and
by honorable men, were not fulfilled.
The T. d b. Co. r. r. is doing no
passenger business at present, and pro-
poses to do none the coming winter,
because time and facilities are fully
occupied with the logging and freight
business in hand, but the extension of
their line, upon which all the labor
has been employed, since the change
in ownership of the company, that
they have been able to secure, and the
character Of the work, in grading,
laying track, and all work upon the
line, which is Of the most permanent
and substantial kind, means not mere
ly logging road, but in little time,
the much desired shore railroad from
Saginaw to Alpena. The T. q b. c.

as, in addition to their supply of steel
rails, locomotive, ten new fiat cars
and irons for twenty-five new log cars,
