AlnanacS.

There is great change in almanacs
of the present day as compared with
those of few years ago. Then they
were principally devoted to advertis-
ing patent medicines, and each one
had picture showing a man with his
interior machinery displayed to view,
and looking as though he had been
practised upon by Il gang of red
skins at one of their exhibitions of
torture. He was surrounded by GER
tain mystical zodiac signs.
The modern almanac dispenses
with the exposed man, and instead of
impossible cures of imaginary per-
sons, they are full of valuable infor-
nation. Such one is Sibley's Far
mer's almanac, notice of which will
be found in another place. Another
is the almanac sent by the Baltimore
Sun, which is mainly devoted to Mary
land statistics. A large amount of
information, however, is given on
matters of general interest, such as
the history Of the calendar, astron-
omical calculations, congress, courts,
diplomatic representatives, postofficc
department, history Of the year 1882,
government of the L. S., Hebrew
calendar, names of State governors,
and many other matters.

Dividing Rust Township,

In regard to the petition introduced
into the State Legislature to divide
the township of Rust and form two
townships, the Montmorency Index
says;
Who the originator of the affair is
we do not know, and we believe there
is not a voter in the township that is
willing to have it divided at present,
and it appears as if the scheme had
been gotten up by some outside party,
for reasons unknown.
Perhaps the following from the Of
fetal journal of the Michigan House
of Representatives, of January 9th,
will let little light on the subject:
Petition Of Alonzo B. Valentine,
II. j. Mckenzie, John McLenahan,
and 13 others, for the division of the
township of Rush" in Montmorency
county, and the erection of two new
townships, to be known as the town
ship of "Rock" and the township of
Albert, from the territory therein.

cate my action on local legislation,
permit me to say through your col
umns that l am under no pledges or
obligations beyond those necessarily
implied as representative of the
people to do their will whenever it
shall be clearly expressed, and, fur
Their, that l have no disposition to set up
my own or others notions or opinions
against the expressed wish of the peo'
pie. And in justice to others may
say that as yet l have in no manner
been asked to support or oppose any
local measure efecting the Alpena
district, but shall consider it my duty
to present all petitions and remon-
strances if they contain but a single
name.

order to assist, and in many instances
keep alive, certain Republican news
papers. AS regards the cost of print
ing the tax sale supplements, which
are nearly all printed at Lansing, we
are informed that the cost to the
Montmorency Times was SO, and that
alleged paper received $50 for send
ing them out as q supplement, and the
supplement was nearly twice as large
as the paper. The disreputable organ
of this city received sl,409.60, and
its manager paid, as near as we are
able to ascertain, about 500 for the
supplements containing list of lands.
His profits by the transaction must
have been at least 81 200, and this
represents so much taxation that is to
be paid by the taxpayers. The Dem
ocrats and Greenbackers in the Legis-
lature should do all in their power to
see that this tax sale fraud is put n
stop to. 1t is their duty to do so,
Make the Republicans 60 on record
regarding this fraud ON the taxpayers
of Michigan, and if they refuse to do
what is but justice to the taxpayers,
that is, let the printing to the lowest
bidder, then the question can be sub
mitted to the voters at the next State
election.

Pursuit OF Salt at ChebOygan.

The work at the salt well continues
to progress very satisfactorily, the rock
continuing good and the drilling GO
ing on with good progress, some days
sixteen feet. Wednesday night they
were down 935 feet, at which time
they shut down to put in the four inch
casing. The hole has to be trimmed
out down about fifty feet in the rock,
from where the four inch tubing enters
to form an Offset. This and putting
in the casing occupied the rest of the
week. The first of the week they
struck stream of mineral water, or
some substance that gave the water a
brackish taste, which some thought
was indications of salt, but since then
the water has regained its pure taste.

Representatives and the Tax Lists.

Saws the Detroit Free Press -
"There was tilt over the publica-
ton of tax sales in the House. Re-
preventative Robinson, of Alpena,
offered a resolution asking the Secre-
tary of State for statement OF the
total vote for Governor at the last
election in Alpena, Presque Isle, Che
boygan and Montmorency counties.
Mr.. Robinson explained that he de-
sired the information that correct
Judgment might be formed as to the
expenditures for the publication OF
the tax lists in the counties named
The figures showed an outlay of $500
for that purpose III counties that poll
ed less than 200 votes. The facts
ought to be laid officially before the
House. He disclaimcd any partisan
spirit, having in view only the COM
mon benefit. His speech had very
good effect. Representative Fyte
questioned the value Of the resolu-
ton to accomplish all that was de-
sired, and on his motion it was amend
ed so as to include all the counties in
the State. Representative French, of
Monroe, exhibited the narrowness of
party spirit by moving the reference
of the joint resolution to the COM
mittee on local taxation. Represen-
tative Adams, of Marquette, took
broader and much more sensible view
when called upon to vote. He said
he was not in sympathy with the res
olution. but inasmuch as a vote to
refer it would raise the suspicion Of
an attempt to cvade an investigation,
he would vote against referring it.
The people may form a better idea of
the calibre Of the House, when it is
said the motion to refer was lost,

was carried as amended by yeas So,

ed the matter up by resolution call
ing upon the Auditor-General for an
account of the number of parcels of
land advertised in 1882 and for a
statement as to applications for pub
fishing the list at less than the official
rates by proprietors of newspapers.

over this resolution, in which Repre-
Fyfc, Thompson, Brant,

The Northwestern Lumberman of

accurate as those it gives Alpena, they
are worthless. In the first place it
gives the total amount of lumber cut
at Alpena mills, last year, at 161 $685..

should be 194,464,3 $3.50 feet. In the
second place it says G. w. Richard

cut 100000 feet, when the amount

cut was 100000 feet. Third, that
the Mason Lumber Co.'S mill, with
Is men and one circular and a gang,
only cut 100000 feet, when the
amount Of lumber cut at that mill
was 12,500.000 feet. The report of
the Lumberman of some the other
mills is also wrong, but not as far
astray as the two spoken of. The
Lumberman places the amount of
shingles manufactured at Alpena
about 100000 too high.

O'Donnell Committed for Murder.

A Cape Town tAfrica) dispatch to the
Oregonian of late date says: O'Donnell,
who killed Carey, has been committed for
trial on charge of willful murder. In the
ordinary course of events he will be tried
at the Port Elizabeth assizes in October. At
the examination of Carey box was pro-
duced belonging to the prisoner, labeled
Cape Town, containing wood cut of Carey
and paper of American citizenship, dated
November, 1876. Carey's son was recalled
and denied that the Kelly of the Irish pas
senger on the steamer Kinfauna Castle was
identical with Kavough. He testified that
his father was smiling and talking to O'Don-
mel, when he (witness) saw the latter draw
a revolver and fire one shot. He (witness)
ran to fetch his fathers revolver: his mother
was holding his father when the third shot
was fred. O'Donnel declared that Carey
first drew a revolver, which he (ODonnel)
seized and fred at Carey in self-defense.
He described himself as Patrick ODonnel,
aged IS, native of Goodsall, county Done
gal, laborer, formerly at Butler.
