TIE POTOMAC FLATS.

How the Work OF Improvement ID Pro-
gressing-The Force 20 He Increased.
A force of $50 men is employed on tho
work of improving the river flats, and five
dredges, forty dumping cars, and two loco
motives are being used, About a mile of
trestle work has been completed, and the cars
are now deposting on the flats the mud
dredged from the channel near the Washing
ton shore, Owing to the presence OF large
amount of gravel formation above the long
bridge, the contractors have been compelled
to order the erection of an extra trestle,
work upon which is now progressing. The
character of the soil which forms the flats is
greatly different from what the co ntractors
expected, and has caused them to change
their plans considerably. The force of work.
men will bo largely re-enforced in few days,
and the work will be continued day and night.

A Quick Trip.

Last week the steamer City of
Cleveland made the voyage from st.
Ignace to Detroit in twenty-one and a
half hours. She did not call at this
port on her way down Wednesday
night, as Captain Stewart knew that
the steamer Mackinac was here, also
bound down, and he knew she could
carry what freight and passengers
there were for Detroit. The City of
Cleveland had smooth passage from
st. Ignace until she got abreast Of
Thunder Bay, and then she encount-
ed head winds and snow squalls,
which caused her to go much slower
than she would if the weather had
been clear. A stop was make at Port
Huron, and making allowance for
this stop, the City of Cleveland aver.
aged some seventeen miles per hour
the entire distance between st. Ignace
ann Detroit, and could have made a
better record if the snow squalls had
not interfered.

The Great Work OF the Country.

APPLEToN's AMERICAN CYCLoPE-
Ola is by the testimony of all scholar
ly men the best thing of the kind in
print. The most comprehensive, ac-
curate and complete. The thong hts
of 500 of the best scholars in the
land, comes nearer a perfect library
than any other work, and those that
have il and the Scriptures are well
furnished, and the necessity of pur-
chasing other books greatly lessened.
The Appleton keeps you ahead of the
world by issuing a volume each year
that records the doings of the world
in that year, and the necessity of pur-
chasing new cyclopedia every few
years is avoided. The man that has
Appleton's and keeps up the ANNALS
has the latest intelligence as to the
condition of every government in the
world, every new discovery in every
art and science. The terms are so
favorable, that it is within the reach
of almost every family, and by the
testimony of all educators the book
will more than doubly repay the
amount invested in it when there is
any portion of the family in the pro-
cess of being educated. The saving
is in the ease with which the child
gets education and time thus shorten
ed. James A. Young, agent for APP
plcton's, is now at the Golling House.

would like to see him.

ApDletOn's American CyclOpedia.

Read the following testimony Of the
great work from the President and
Professors of the Michigan Universe
ty, and then ask yourself this ques-
ton: Is it wise for me to live with
out it, when it is within my grasp by
simply paying fifteen cents per day?
For American readers the claims
of Appleton's American Cyclopedia
seem to us to surpass those Of any
other cyclopedia yet issued, for the
following reasons:
/. Both in its range of topics and
its method of treating them, it is more
comprehensive than any other CYCLIC
pedia originating in this country.
2. In comparison with the great cy-
clopedias originating in Great Britain,
it contains multitude of subjects in
the particular field of American his
tory, biography, law, geography, edu-
cation, invention and social custom,
either not dealt with at all by the for
mer, or not dealt with so fully and ac-
curately.
8. In providing for the matter of
the work, as well as for the mechani-
cal execution (the latter including the
essential elements of typographical
correctness and adequate pictorial il
lustrations), the publishers have made
an outlay more liberal than has ever
been bestowed on any other work pub
lished in the country.
4. In the ordinary attributes of a
first class cyclopedia, in which it
shares with others Of its rank, it is
fully equal to all others, particularly
in this respect-that each article is
compact, and accurate, and authorita-
tive report upon its topic up to the
latest dates, and by specialist in the
department to which it belongs.
Upon the whole, we sincerely COM
mend to the public this great work as
in itself a copious library Of precise
and generalized information on every
subject of interest to the people of this
country.

President Michigan University.
MOSES COLT TYLER,
Professor of English Language and
Literature.

MOntmorency Items.

From the Montmorency Index
There are more hunters in the
woods of this county than deer, and
for that reason great many are COM
PEELED to depart without any game,
unless they are successful in purchas-
ing one.
Several of the farmers in this locali-
ty have not yet had an opportunity to
get their turnips and other roots out
of the ground, but are living in hopes
that this snow will soon disappear,
and that there may be a few days of
fine weather yet this fall.

Locomotive Sparks.

From c. ID. Hale, of Tawas City,
we learned several facts in relation to
the narrow gauge railway now in pro-
cess of construction between Wells
Station, on the Michigan Central rail-
road northern extension, and the Au
Sable, under the name of the Detroit,
Bay City & Alpena railroad, which
are of especial interest at this time
and in this quarter. The work on the
whole line has been in charge of A.
Honeywood, superintendent of con-
struction, and is being done with UNI
usual celebrity and in the most thor
ough manner possible. The track is
laid with steel rails, 50lbs to the yard,
which, for narrow gauge rail, is i'm
mense.
A train will leave Au Sable daily
at ~ o'clock NJ, reaching Wells in
time to connect with trains going
south and north, which cross there at
3 r. NJ. The train leaves Wells for
the Au Sable at few moments after
3 =. NJ, running through to the latter
place and returning to Tawas the same
evening. A train will run from
Tawas to AuSable every morning, thus
given two trains each way between
Tawas and Au Sable. The equip
ment of the road will be first class in
every respect, and it is proposed when
the line is complete to make up as
handsome and efficient passenger
train as runs OH any narrow guagc
railroad in America, palace cars and
smoker included.
1t is the design of the company to
build next year a branch to Hale lake
in town % north, range B east. and
to continue it OH the head-waters
of the Rifle, distance 30 miles; a
branch to be extended from this
branch to Loon lake, also in town 3d.
B.
The road will be continued as soon
