During the boistcrous breezes last
week, one of the crafts that ply on
the classic waters of Mud Lake, had
a narrow escape from being wrecked.
The craft in question Gan Anticipated
skifl,) was lumber ladened, and the
gigantic ripples water.logged the
vessel. The crew of one was in great
danger. He could not wade ashore,
because the mud was too deep and too
soft, and he was unable to swim to a
safe landing on account of the lack
of water. Considerable exertion with
a paddle at last saved both vessel and
crew. Death sometimes stares per-
son in the face in the most unexpected
place, and the conumdrum to be an
swered is: Whether a man would
prefer to be kicked to death with a
mule, or Dose out of sight in Mud
Lake?

Labor appears TO be plentiful at
present in this locality, and every
week there are new additions being
added. Now u railroad is needed very
much to connect this city with the
rest of the world, and if capital will
only come forward, the road would
soon be built. There being plenty of
labor on hand, all that is needed is
the requisite capital, and until cap
ital does come, we are of the opinion
that Alpena will have to do without
railroad. Capital and labor CON-
bined would soon extend the railroad
to Alpena. Labor is willing and
ready, but capital seems shy, and
without it the work cannot be done.
Will some one induce capital to set
the enterprise in motion.

He had quite talk at the figure, told
it to stand straight, (hic) and not dis
grace itself so publicly (hi'). 1t
ought to be ashamed Of itself (hic),
and had better brace up (hic). The
figure, of course, could not talk back,
and the river driver could not keep up
u one-sided conversation for any
length of time, so he stared at the
figure steadily for few moments, and
finding that it had not word to say
for itself, he set sail down the street,
making frequent tacks across the side
walk, evidently well satisfied with the
lecture he had given the effigy.
