In addition to the foregoing we have also received,
as donations, Il pamphlets, large centennial map Of
the United States, geological atlas, and numerous
United States reports.
The library was opened to the public the 18th day
Of September, 1882 since which time 1t has been large
ly patronized, there being at the present time lls
regular patrons to whom certificates have been issued
and this number is steadily increasing. The report
Of the Librarian made TO the trustees, shows that he
number OF books taken will average monthly about
1000 volumes.
This shows that while the library is a source from
which much enjoyment aud pleasure Is derived, It has
been aud must necessarily continue to be great edu-
Gator in our community, and should be encouraged,
fosered and aided TO the full extent in the power of
the town. To that end, il is hoped the voters will az
the annual town meeting appropriate not less than
$3.50, which they authorized TO do under the law,
During the year the library has received the gene
donation Of $1,000 from the late c. n. Davenport
Esq Through his snns) to meet his expressed wish,
the interest Of which is to be annually expended for
books. We have also received donation Of s47 from
the Bratteboro Choral Union, leaving it with this
board to decide whether shall be added to the per-
manent fund or not upon which action will be taken
at our next regular meeting.
Gladly would we chronicle many more such dona-
tons should our citizens be led to the fact that,
with a permanent fund Of few thousand dollars the
great advantages accrung to the library would be a
sure means OF yearly increasing the number OF our
books aud building up good, permanent and sub
stantial library for the benefit Of the community
which cannot be done with the amount that by Law
be given by the town. nearly all that must
be paid out for the care Of the library.

All ladies know their faces most attractive when
free from pimples. Parkers Ginger tonic popular
with them because it banishes impurities from blood
aud skin and makes the face glow With health.
Miss Buchanan, once ralying brave soldier on
his courage, said: "Now, Captain Johnson, do you
really mean to tell me You walk up to a cannon
mouth without fear ?" Eyes" was the prompt reply;
"or Buchanans, either" And he did it, Ii may be
safely assumed that the lady to whom the gallant cap
tain thus paid his respects hadn't the cAtarrh This
maady is loathsome as 1t is painful It's cure has
heretofore been considered impossible. Ely's Cream
Balm, however, never fails to cure It. Mr.. Nathan
Fegley with L. +. Montz, merchant, Wilkesbarre Pa
says: 81 have had caarrh for is years. Ely's Cream
Balm has opened my nostrils and reduced the inham
nation. My eyes, too, can stand strong light" This
balm is marvel Of fragrance and curative powers Ii
not liquid or snuf, and is easily applied.
No wonder the senate reduced the tariff on barbet
wire. Every senator who ever tried to climb fence
made Of that material knows that barbed wire is fully
able to protect itself.

Epsteyn's Grand Opening.

Last night Epsteyn, the one-price
clothier, formerly opened his elegant
business place to the public. The
Germania band was present and
played number of pieces of music.
The double store was handsomely
adorned with U. S. flags, Chinese Ian
terms, large mirrors, and the display
of clothing, hats, caps, gents furnish
ing goods, ETC., ETC., was very large,
and person could not help but find
everything he needed in the clothing
line. The stores were jammed full of
visitors, and each lady was presented
with an elegant souvenir. Mr.. Ep-
steyn and his corps Of polite and at.
tentive clerks, did everything in their
power to make visitors enjoy their
visit, and the general expression is
that the opening was grand success.
Mr.. Epsteyn understands the wants
of the Alpena people, and by fair hon,
orable dealing, politeness, and enter
prise he has worked up a large and
profitable business. His motto is
good goods and reasonable prices.

In the issue of the ARGUS of May
30th we published an item to the eff
feet that Judge of Probate Lester had
started for the State Public school at
Coldwater, and took with him two
little girls by name of Anderson, and
that it was said that the children had
been deserted by their parents. The
latter part of the item, we are inform
ed, is not altogether correct and does
injustice to Mr.. Anderson. 1t seems
that difficulties had occurred between
the parents, and they separated, Mrs.
Anderson going to her brothers home
at Huntsville. Proceedings were
commenced in the Altoona circuit
court for divorce. In the meantime
the children were left with another
person, and the father, j. X. Ander-
son, supposed they were there and all
right until he saw the item in the
paper regarding the children, and we
also understand that he was waiting
for the circuit court to settle the d.
vorce business.

balcony, and furnished the necessary
music, while the Guards marched and
countermarched in front of them. At
the conclusion of the marching, the
Guards were formed in line in front
of the Opera House, and were in
spected by Major Donnelly. There
was very large number of citizens
present to witness the parade and in
spection, and the scene was further
enlivened by several ladies and gen
tlemen OH horseback.
A heavy fog prevailed at the time
of the parade and was SO dense at
times, that objects about two hundred
yards distant were hidden from sight.
Even the electric lights failed to pen
citrate the fog for any long distance.
Those near by appeared to be surround
ed by a luminous circle some three or
four feet in diameter.
AT the conclusion of the inspection
the Guards adjourned to their Armo-
ry, and then dancing began at the
Opera House. Their hop was well
patronized and the gross proceeds
amounted to $120.

r. Wells, of jackson, Michigan,
was in town the latter part of last
week. This is his second visit to AL
pena. His first visit was in 1858,
when he was a member of the U. s..
surveying party that laid out this
county into sections. Their first camp
was at North Point, the second where
Alpena now stands and the third at
Ossineke. AT the time Mr.. Wells was
here in 1858, the place was a wilder
ness, and there was only small fish
dock and two log huts. The survey
ing party lived in tents, and their
supplies were brought by a govern
ment steamer. The present site of
the city was then covered with woods,
and it is almost needless to say that
Mr.. Wells found that considerable
changes had taken place since his
first visit only % years ago. The
wilderness that he saw then, is now
replaced with an enterprising city of
some eight thousand people, and the
few huts of 1858, are now represented
by hundreds of dwelling houses, brick
blocks, saw mills, planning mills, foun-
dries and other business places.
Twenty-Five years ago the arrival Of
vessel was wonderful event ; now
thirteen steamers arrive and depart
every week, and during the season
about one thousand vessels and steam
ers arrive at this port. Twenty-Five
years have seen some great changes
in Alpena county, and we believe that
the next twenty-five years will see
still greater changes.
Mr.. Wells says that a family named
Oliver lived in one of the log huts,
and Mrs. Oliver, one Sunday, got her
children and started with them on a
visit to the camp of the surveying
party, as the sight of the white tent:
was great novelty to the children
One of the younsters had the misfor,
tune to fall in the river, and was
drowned. The mother ran in search
of the surveyors, who were a little
distance from the camps, and inform.
ed them what had occurred. They
repaired to the river and after consid
cradle trouble found the body of the
child. We believe this was the first
disaster in Alpena, and the first fun
eral.

A disgraceful row took place last
Sunday, on River street, close to the
Mcdonald block, and the responsible
party or parties should be made to
suffer the penalty imposed by law
for such offenses. AS near as we can
get at the facts, Richard Mcclure,
who is noted in this city as fighter,
got it into his head that he was able
to clean out anybody in town. Last
Saturday he got into dispute with a
man named Montague. 1t also APP
pears that Montague, who is black
smith by trade, did not desire row,
and was anxious to avoid it. One
thing led to another, and The parties
formed an agreement to 60 outside
the city limits and fight it out last
Sunday. For this purpose they pro-
ceeded to livery stable but did not
succeed in getting rig, and as they
we're coming up River street, the par
ties got into q jam at the Mcdonald
block, most of it being in the hall Of
that of building. The row lasted but
short time, and but very little inju-
ry was done. The row brought out
considerable of the rough element dur
ing the afternoon, and some of them
were armed with spiked boots. Justice
can not permit the affair to pass over
without an investigation, and the per-
son or persons who were guilty of the
disturbance should be given to under
stand that Alpena will not permit
such disturbances to take place on
the public streets, and especially on
Sunday.

The steamship II. j. Jewett had a
chance to try her speed with the
steamer City of Cleveland last week.
On the City of Cleveland leaving
Cheboygan the Jewett was about two
miles ahead, and by the time the City
of Cleveland had got abreast of Rogers
City, the Jewett was out of sight
Cleveland version). The City of
Cleveland had to call into Alpena on
her way down, and as it was very fog
gy last Wednesday night, three hours
elapsed before she got back to her
course on the lake. This gave the
Jewett a chance to regain her lead,
and she went booming for Detroit,
having no landings to make on the
shore. In the meantime the City OF
Cleveland had to run to Oscoda, and
stops were also made Mt Sand Beach,
Port Huron, st. Clair, Marine City
and she arrived at Detroit only thirty.
five minutes after the Jewett passed
that city. The Jewett had better not
race with the Cleveland, or if she is
anxious to try her speed with steam
er that runs to Alpena, she should
tackle the gallant Metropolis.

A citizen who lately returned from
a visit to the Holmes farm, distant
about thirty miles from the city, speaks
very enthusiastically in regard to it.
The farm contains three hundred
acres of cleared land, of which two
hundred acres are in one field and in
grass. In that field there is not a
stump, and the surface is smooth and
level. 1t presents very attractive
appearance. The farm has been leased
at rental Of $1,000 per year, max.
ing the farm equal in value to o cash
capital Of $4,000 bearing four per
cent.

day evening he complained of being
chilly, and just before going to his
room at the Golling House, he was

and some others rushed to his assis-

fee. A doctor was then sent for, but
before he arrived Mr.. Hertzog was
dead. The cause Of his death is said
to have been heart disease. The de-
ceased was sent to Detroit by steamer
