"How about shore railroad talk
1t seems so quiet now that we can
almost hear the locomotive bell ring.
Talk ought not to be cut short SO
quick; not till after the opening of
navigation again at least. Starter
up again-give us s'more right away"
Which conundrum comes from the
Au Sable News. "The King OF
France with twice ten thousand men
marched up the hill and then marched
down again" That is to say Gen. r.
A. Alger, who seems to hold the DIES.

on the train by a gentleman of our
acquaintance he remarked that he

enough; and thus doneY-you tell

The snow storm of last Wednesday
was the means of dumping six inches
of the beautiful on the ground. In
the lumber woods the gift was not
appreciated, neither was it on the
skating park, as it required labor to
get the ice in the park in fit condi-
ton so that it would be appreciated
by the skaters. The locomotives
on the Alpena and Standish railroad
line were not much delayed by the
snow drifts. OF course we mean the
stage horses.

railroad that the Michigan Central
railroad is thinking of running to
Alpena. This is the line which is to
run from Alpena across the country
in a southwestern direction, passing
through Oscoda county, and making
connection with the Michigan Cen
trail, some time or other.
The next Iosco county fair is to be
held at Au Sable and Oscoda, and OF
course the people of those places feel
pleased. The Gazette thinks the peo
pie of Au Sable and Oscoda will de.
vote more money TO horse race pre-
NUNS than to pumpkins and other
agricultural products. Au Sable is
taking the leadership from Tawas
Besides the fair, she gets large
amount of the Tawas brine, and some
of the days to come the Au Sable
people will 60 over to Tawas and
steal the county seat and the railroad
Messrs. Mason and Davis are con
templating some very radical changes
to the Mason Warehouse and the
fish packing house of S. III. Davis
Both buildings are to be tore down
and in place thereof it is said there
will be erected commodious WHARF
house of two stories, the upper one o.
which will be used in winter time tC
mend nets, etc. The fish packing
house is to be removed to that part o.
the wharf near the slip, and will thus
tend to remove the smell of fish from
the vicinity where steamboat passen
gers land If these Improvement
should be made, we believe that they
will BE much appreciated by the
travelling public. The place, last sea
son, was not very pleasant one fol
the ladies who had to visit the whar
in order to get to or from the steam
boats. There was plenty of mud
fish ohal, a manure heap, and many
other things that travellers are mo-
DESTROYS of seeing. Another thing
that would be appreciated by The
public at the various steamboat land
ings, is a plank walk from the side
walk to the wharfs.

(Tenn.) Banner how cable messages
are received. He says: IL don't sup
pose you know how the messages arc
received over the cable? No. Well, it

rooms. The messages come rs little
electric sparks; the letters are known by
the length of the flash. These men go

of her home. Clever cyclone. - Chicago
