One of our leading business men in
forms US that Thursday night one of his
employees attended the dance, and that
shortly after he had reached his board
ing house and retired, the two night
watchmen entered the house and under
pretense of looking for burglar, made

I A very small fraction of the Demo-
cratic "lOaves and fishes" which the cleo
ton of Gov. Begole scattered through
the state comes to ChebOygan. A deputy

The sudden death of Mr.. c. S. Cushman
as noted last week, will be sincerely re-
GREETED at Sault Ste. Marie by all. Mr..

habits of dissipation in early life, might
have reached distinction. OF late, how
ever, We are glad to say, he had appar
emily thoroughly reformed, and so de-
termined to retrieve, as far as in him
lay, the errors of the past, that he had
gained the good will and respect of all.
The loss of few men in the Sault would
produce more general and genuine re-
greet. f
Our citizens should not forget the
fourth entertainment in the star course,
next Saturday evening at the Town Hall,
on which occasion Miss Julia f. Lee, the
accomplished reader and elOcutionist
will appear. The press speak in the
highest praise of her efforts wherever
she has appeared, and we have no doubt
an evening spent in listening to her
will be both profitable and Interesting.
So far these entertainments have been
first class, and there is every reason for
believing that Miss. Lee will prove as
satisfactory as those who have preced-
ed her. Reserved seats can be had at the
store of H. j Miner.

a week and are making good progress.

The boys propose giving dance some
time week after next, and are organizing

We regret to announce the assignment
