EDIToR NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
Again we are obliged to chronicle the
death of several fine specimens of the
"Ursus Americanus" or black bear, viz:
2killed by Moses Miller,
killed by Geo. Clements,
killed by James Clark and Warren
Mckee,
killed by j. W. Berry,
killed by Joshua Berry.
Bear steak is plenty and more coming.
Our new minister, Rev. Mr.. HOyt, sue
ceeded in capturing very fine specimen
of the family Cervidea (Red Deer) within
mile of the village. Gospel yenison,
and it is good.
We have party of s just in camp here
from New Brighton, Pa., who expect to
take home some fine specimens of the
family "Cervidea." Indeed one of the
gentlemen has at present placed a very
fine "buck tail" in his hat and expects
to capture more. They are completely
overcome with the amount of fish, duck,
partridge, bear and venisOn. They have
gone into camp near the site of the
Bockus Hotel. AS they have two physi-
clans and one druggist in their party we
expect they will be well cared for.
Their cOmmissariat and quartermaster
is an American citizen of African descent
and an original genius.
"NIine Host" Sager, of the Buckeye
House, (Burt Lake. extended an invita-
tion to his friends (and their names are
legion) to call upon him Friday evening
and found good music in attendance.
A large number responded including a
boat load from the Indian River. The
music was good, the dancing genteel
and the supper immense. Well, we
nearly danced ourselves to death and at
in the morning we adjourned with a
unanimous vote that E. II. Sager and his
estimable wife were successful mana
gers Of the Buckeye House. Long may
they wave.
At the school meeting in District No.
1, Tuscarora township, held Sept. LIST,
there was tie vote and by tossing the
penny it was settled. One of the officers
not knowing the law, viz. that he must
qualify in 10 days, was left and conse-
quently it was necessary to call meet
ing to gil vacancy, At the call the in
terested parties responded right nobly
and proceeded to elect the party of the
first part. The officers now constituting
the board are Mr.. P. G. Tanner, Director,
Mr.. Warren Finn, Assessor, Mr.. Ed. Holl-
abaugh, Moderator, forming a good
board, and we are quite sure it is the
first instance in the history of Cheboy-
gan county where the ladies had the
casting ballot. They rallied right nobly
and fought bravely and the result was
"Veni Vidi Vici.' We came, we saw, we
conquered, as the ladies' always do, ted
bless them. AS Tuscarora township is
the first to set the example of female
suffrage we greet them with joy, and
hope the camp fires thus started will
Tighten the horizon and burn so bright
ly that we may ere long see our wives,
mothers and sweet-hearts welding the
influence they ought to and which has
long been withheld from them, especial
ly the sweet-hearts.
Mr.. A, Foulk has come to settle per-
manently with US. He has bought a
very fine roadster, also Jersey cow and
calf. The calf is of the male persuasion.
Mr.. FOulk has purchased two lots on
Prospect Avenue fronting on the river,
and has commenced the erection of an
elegant residence.
We cordially welcome all that come to
develop the country.
Mr.. Aanterman has opened up upon
his premises spring of immense di-
mansions. He has it six feet deep and
