c. A. Perrin returns to CharlevOix to re-

The man who speaks contemporary
of ChebOygan, and yet is fed, clothed and
prOspered by ChebOygan, is miserable
ingrate,a worse freak, and more execra"
BILE wretch than dude. We are for Che

faith in her citizens, reeOurces and her
glorious future, and whoever Is helpful
to her or OF her, Is on our side.
The water in the upper streams has
lowered so much. that unless cOpiOus

OUyOO lttU VI lORo III ~, ohu viz ii'eh 40
full from the dam down to the mouth
about twelve miles-and the low stage
of the water, makes it difficult to drive.
1t is thought it will take the better part
of two months to get the logs down, as
the river has to be flooded. by means Of
the dam, to secure sufficient water to en-
able them to drive. 1t is claimed that
the force of men at work is entirely in
adequate to the job.
George Starr. husband of the lady
mentioned last week as insane, returned
home Monday. We are glad to say the
physicians Of the asylum at Pontiac. in
whose charge she was placed. are OF the
opinion that the arrangement of mind
is only temporary, and that she will be
fully restored within thirty days. They
think the trouble was caused by her
nervous system. Mr.. Starr speaks in
the highest terms of the treatment he
received from the officials and citizens
of Port Huron, and says they did all that
could be done to aid him while there,
and that he shall never forget their kind
ness.
School opened last Monday after
weeks vacation, with an increased at
tendance in all the departments. In
Miss Loucks' room fifteen new scholars
entered. Before vacation all the teach
ers had more scholars than they should
have had, to do justice to themselves as
well as pupils. and it is evident some
thing will soon have to be done by
which more teachers can be employed.
The Cheboygan schools will compare ia
vOrably with any other schools in the
state and it should be the object of all
to keep them to the front. Good schools
are one of the great inducements to i'm
migration.
