There was a fire meeting Thursday
evening, or at least the regular alarm
for such an event was given.
The Senate has voted to take the duties
off from lumber. This will not be very
satisfactory to our lumberman.
When some of our 2:4O nags run oyer

John WheelOck met with a serious ac-
cident in one of Dodges camps last week
Friday, which resulted in breaking the
bones of one of his feet. He will be laid
up for some days.
We understand that Counsellor Bell,
who left here Monday morning for Kali
amazoo, was blockaded day or two by
the snow. We are glad to state that he
took a lunch basket with him.
Lumbermen complain that the cost of
putting in logs this winter is much
higher than usual, while the prospects
seem to be that the price of lumber will
be lower. Those who have to pocket the
difference do not feel happy.
The blockade of the trains this week
was the most serious of the season. Sew
eral trains were abandoned, among
which was the night train south. Those
which ran were hauled by two and three
locomotives. The track Is now reported
clear, and an attempt will be made to
run thenfo on time again. The railroad
company have displayed great deal of
energy in keeping the road open.
Lent, that season Of the year when the
good churehmah lays aside the vain
pomp and glory of the world, and revels

son, occurs on February 18th. Let us en- (,
Joy ourselves while we may for the day
cOmeth when we shall go hungry for

it not.
During the civil war the legislature of
Michigan provided state bounty of 800

pendent church, called out by the near
completion of Rev. r. M. Thompson's
term of service appear in another col
umn. They are highly complimentary
to the reverend gentleman, but express.
no more than the estimation in which he
is held by the church over which he has
held pastOrate. They also express the
sentiments of the citizens of ChebOygan
generally as WE'LL. We join the wish so
generally expressed that he will return.
The official report of the settlement of
County Treasurer Humphrey with the
Board of Supervisors appears in the adj
vertising columns of the Democrat this
week. 1t shows balance in the treas
ury of $6,840.65. We see nothing regard

we presume that all previous intima-
tiOns which had been made were
without foundation and made for p0liti-
