NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1883.


-------'--------------
Fishing through the ice on the straits
has commenced.
n The train due this morning got stuck
in snow bank near Gaylord, and was
several hours late, not having arrived ut
noon.
What has become of our amateur dra-
matte company and their promised rem
ditiOn of the interesting drama Turn of
The Tide?"
Moloney Brothers have quite an ingen-
iOus elevator, run by steam, for hosting
their ice up into their ice house at the
Northern Brewery.
Robinson & Thompson shut their plan
ing mill down last night for the pur-
pose of making some repairs to the boil
er and Overhauling the engine.
Now that our cotemporary has com
menced using plates instead of setting
the matter themselves, they will, prob
ably, be able to get their paper out some
where near on time.
Yesterday morning there was strong
indications that we were going to have
some winter like they have been having
in the southern part of the state. The
thermometer was down to degrees be-
low zero.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. E. Nichols entertained
quite number of invited guests last
Monday evening at their home. Mrs.
Nichols is at home on such occasions
and has the happy faculty of making
her guests feel at home also.
We would call attention to the adver-
tisement of Messrs. Hayden & Downs, of
Indian River. Lumbermen doing bust
ness near the line of the railroad, might
find it to their interest to give these
gentlemen call, when needing camp
supplies,
We are in receipt of copy of the
"Great Rock Island Route" almanac for
1883, with the compliments of the gen.
eral ticket and passenger agent. Be-
sides being an advertisement for this
popular route it contains much valua-
BILE information.
We hear several complaints in regard
to the management and condition of
the county poor house. We know no
thing about the condition of affairs, but
if they are as stated there is certainly
need of reform, "and we RESPECTFULLY re-
fer the matter to the county poor board.
Quarterly meeting services at the
Methodist church next Sunday. Rev.
A. j. Richards, of Bay City, will conduct
the services. Love feast at $3.50 A. M
preaching at 1890 A. M. and P. NJ. At
the close of evening service the Lords
supper will be administered. A general
invitation is extended and all will be
made welcome.
Edward Adams, nephew of H. A.
Blake, employed in Robinson and Thorn
sons planning mill met with quite a
serious accident yesterday forenoon.
He was working around circular saw
when the teeth caught in the sleeve of
heavy shirt he was wearing, drawing
his arm down on the saw, cutting an
eight inch cash, clear to the bone. DR..
Perrin dressed the wound, but the result
will be very sore arm for several days.
By reference to the files of the TRIBUNE
we find that during last winter there
were only four days when the themOm-
eter reached zero. Taking the day
through, the 23rd day of January was the
coolest day of the season, the thermometer
indicating 13 below in the morning, IL
at noon and IL in the evening. The
morning of the oath of January was the
coolest, % degrees below zero, but by
noon had risen to degrees above.
The Senatorial question is yet con-
numdrum. The Ferry men claim to be
confident that Senator Ferry will be re-
elected, while the opposition hint at de-
lection in the FERRY ranks and claim
that some other man will be elected.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean comes out
strong for Ferry and claims that the
canvass in the recent election for MEM
bers of the legislature was made upon
the Senatorial question and that the
verdict was largely in favor of the re-
turn of Mr.. Ferry, and that those who
are kicking against his return are doing
so in opposition to the well known Re-
publican principle that the majority
shall rule.
