The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1883-06-08

The Courier has hired Miss Furness as
preceptress of our school. The school board
have not engaged her services, although they
may perhaps conclude TO do so. That We
racious sheet makes no mistakes.
Mrs. Nina G. Slayton will give one OF her
unique and interesting entertainments at the
NJ. l.. church III Lawton, on Tuesday even
ing next Those who have had the pleasure
of listening to Mrs. Slayton, do not need to
be told that she stands high as a vocalist and
elocutionist, and that her entertainments arc
always very interesting and worthy of pat
ronage.
The funeral of Mark woodman, eldest
son of the late DR.. Woodman, was held at
the residence of his grand father, Mr.. John
Smolk, last Friday afternoon at two O'Clock
p II. The services were conducted by Rev.
w. @. Burns, assisted by Rev. Geo. L. Cole.
The body was escorted to the cemetery by
his classmates at school accompanied by
Mrs. A. c. Martin, their teacher.
The pound master at Bangor put H. G. M.
Howard's horse in the pound. H. G.. M.
opened the gate and took him out. Result:
Il. G. NJ. arrested and fined s. or 10 days
in the village cooler. lie took the cooler
and writ of hGJcds corpus. Case argued
before Judge Mills, and sentence sustained.
II. g. NJ. paid the fine and the citizens iubi-
liant because their ordinances are valid.
Some of our village streets are being
graded, some are being plowed up and
raised IN the center, and some are being
graded down. A great amount of money ha8
been expended in years gone by, "mending
our ways" some of which has resulted in
little or no good. We hope the present
ha tv+a
anent improvement be accomplished.
No. 1891 held by Miss Clara Reed of Paw
Paw, was the number that took jays second
machine. This was the second number in
the series. About week after the machine
was drawn, Mr.. NJ. F. Beebe of Almena,
put in an appearance with the first number,
but he was too late. He did not discover in
time that he had the winning number and
so lost the prize. Keep your eyes open next
time. Miles.
Mrs. Is. +. Stearns started on Monday last
for her visit to Frank, at Aberdeen, Dakota
She was joined at Chicago by Mrs. w. NJ.
Snow, who had gone to that city couple OF
days before. Frank and Will, will no doubt,
be very much pleased to see their better
halves. The Courier which is always Sd
ready to point out the mistakes of others,
and to boast of its own accuracy, sent these
ladies' on their journey ten days ago.
We called on our friend Mr.. Riley Bangs
last Saturday morning and found him quite
comfortable. He has been an invalid for
long time, but at present when the weather
is pleasant he is able to get out of doors and
move around somewhat, by the aid of his
crutches. he is improving his elegant resi-
dence by having the Old unsightly kitchen
removed and new one erected III its place.
-. N. Brown, Esq, is doing the work for
him.
Died, IN this village, on Saturday last,
Mrs. Clara Tyrrell, wife of Oakley F. Tyrrell
Mrs. Tyrrell had been III for long time
and for several months past had been
great sufferer Her funeral took place on
Tuesday from the residence OF Mrs. I. L.
Hall, Ter mother. The sermon was preached
by Rev. Harvey and was a fitting tribute.
She was graduate of our union shool. and
the Alumni of which she was a member were
present IN body. The casket was strewn
with flowers, and as she lay there she looked
as though she was sweetly sleeping on bed
Tof roses. A post morteRl examination
showed that she died from disease OF
the liver, that organ being greatly enlarged
and weighing 1911 pounds. Mrs. T. was
loved and respected by al who knew her.
On Saturday last at half past IL q. m. the
alarm of fire was sounded in this village.
Almost instantly throngof people filed the
streets, and in a very short time the engine
was out and ready for action. The fire was
in pile of refuse III rear of Duncombe's
barn, on the place occupied by Mr.. Z. A.
Crane, and evidently originated from a spark
or coal of fire contained in ashes that had
been deposited there. The fire was extin.
guished before any particular damage was
done, and before the engine was ready for
work. The boys turned the hose on the
refuse heap and gave it thorough wetting
down and then returned the engine to its
quarters. few moments farther delay in
discovering the fire might have led to dis
astrous confagration. Moral-Be careful of
cold ashes.
Some Wexford county boys have just paid
eight dollars apiece for spearing fish in Clam
Lake. Some Cass county boys are now
thinking seriously of paying for the privil-
ege in this county or else stop spearing.-
Dopdgfac Republican. Why do they want
to pay fer this privilege, Bro. Republican,
There is no law to prevent spearing after
April 30th. Our Legislature have heretofore
seen fit to allow a wholesale destruction OF
iioh VIC SpaWhiAiS ScaoOA, anu dL Lle
same time vote away large amounts of money
for the artificial propagation of the same; a
most inconsistent course, indeed. The spear
and dynamite cartridges will soon depopu-
late our waters, and make native fish az
great curiosity as Jumbo himself, if some
thing is not speedily done to prevent it.
Representative Warren has tried faithfully
during the present session of the legislature
to secure the passage of law to prevent the
spearing of fish during the spring months,
bat failed of success. There are too many
members who like the sport, and so they are
willing to destroy the fish entirely to crafty
their love for it. The result will be that in
few years there will be no fish to spear. He
secured one good thing, however, and that is
the passage by the House of an amendment
to prevent the killing of fish by the use of
explosives,
