NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. JANUARY q, 1883.

Inc Deautl1ul day, thursday, was
only made the more enjoyable by the
contrast of the stormy days preceding.
H. A. Blake purchased the SOutham
property, on main street, the first of this
week, from Mr.. Commiere, who recently
purchased it from Mr.. SOutham.
The announcement has just been made
of the appointment Of Father Richter of
Cincinnati, O., as Bishop of the newly
organized diocese Of Grand Rapids.
The school in fractional district No. 1.
township of Inverness, just south Of the
village, was dismissed for the week
Tuesday evening on account of the cold
weather and drifted condition of the
roads.
1t was rumored on the street the latter
part of last week that Moses Bumblebee
had been put off train by the conduct
or for not paying his fare. and that the
train ran over his leg, cutting it off.
His brother Rainey came down from
camp Tuesday night. and says there is
no truth in the report. Z
Running railroad trains has only been
done this week, in this section, under
great difficulties, in fact, some days they
could not run them at all. What trains
have passed through have been drawn
by two or three locomotives at time.
However since we have the promise of
better weather, matters will be better in
the fnture-until another snow blockade
occurs.
DR.. I. A. Perrin has received the ap-
pOintment of Division Surgeon of the
-'ChebOygan division of the Michigan
Central railroad, extending from Mack
mac to Grayling, with power, should he
see fit, to appoint local surgeons at places
along the line of the railroad in his
division, to attend to injured persons
until he can take charge of them per-
.sonally. The appointment is a good
one, and we congratulate both the Doc
tor and the company.
c. W. Farr recently received a letter
from the projectors of telephone ex
change in our village, stating that they
would be ready to commence putting IL
in just as soon as the frost was out of
the ground in the spring, providing the
thirty subscribers already pledged could
be retained. OF this we have no doubt
and believe that the number can be con-
siderably increased. We find there is
considerable interest among our business
men in the project, and believe it will
meet with their hearty support.
Monday night couple of young men
coming down Main street discoverd
man in badly intoxicated condition
lying in the snow along the side of the
street, near the Grand Central hotel.
The thermometer indicating below zero
the man would undoubtedly have perish
ed had they not played the Good Sama-
ritan, and stopped, set him on his feet
and each taking an arm, started down
street at Dexter gait, and turned him
over to the night police. who put him in
the cooler to thaw out and sober of.
A daughter Of VIM. Newman, of Grant
died in the village Thursday morning
about five o'clock. Mr.. Newman was in
attendance at court, being witness in
the rtspass suit of SOva Us. Lafranier.
and when the case was called, the death
of bis daughter was stated to the court
and that Mr.. Newman had gone to his
home on Black river, to bring down his
family. The judge decided that the case
should go to trial, as he thought Mr..
Newman, being witness for the defence,
would be able to get down in time to
give his evidence In the case.
Owing, we presume, to the fact that
there had been no fire in the school
building since the Friday previous, they
found 1t a difficult matter last Monday
to ges the rooms comfortably
warm, although the fires were built
about seven o'clock. When the time for
opening school arrived, the thermometer
indicated about the freezing point. Not
withstanding the cold morning. the at
tendance was good, and the pupils were
seated as near the stove as possible, I'M
I'll such time as the rooms became warm.
Tuesday morning, although 1t was cold
er than the day previous, the rooms were
comfortable.
