Crossings to the Court House.


Mexico is proud of her sidewalks.
Strangers always when in Mexico,
compliment the city on the extent and
quality of our sidewalks. We say
always. There is one exception.
That is, the walks to the courthouse.
The county court while in session this
week. should take some action on
this matter. 1t is fun to see the
members of the county court. the
circuit judge, county officials and
lawyers tripping across through the
mud, daintily holding up their trow-
sers and landing on the other side
with q cloud on their face and an inch
of mud on their shoes. 1t is generally
fun for the farmers to wade over but
during muddy seasons they sometimes
get over boot-top, and they give this
as a good reason for not paying their
taxes promptly. You might as well
expect a lady to appear on the street
without her front and back hair or
fly through the air with the aid of her
Mother Hubbard balloon, as to get to
| the court house without a sklff. The
county court should either order q
line of steam ferry boats, build a
bridge or put in new broad stone
crossings to the court house.

NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
THURSDAY. MARCH 6. 1884.
WHAT WE NEED.
Our schools.

Our schools.
One of the most obvious necessities of
Chsboygan is special school charter.
At present within a radius Of and 1-2
miles there are five public schools, en-
ploying ~ teachers and with popula-
ton of about 1900. The amount expend-
ed for salaeris. fuel &c amounts to
about 100000. If we had a special
school charter the work, if not more
economically performed would be vastly
more to the advantage of the pupils.
The whole of the districts would be
under the immediate supervision of a
superintendent who would devote the
whole of his time to grading the school,
and by a system of promotion and ex-
aminati0ns create a greater interest in
school work than now exists.
la all the districts the pupils would
have the privilege of attending the high
school department as they became fitted
for 1t and without the payment Of tut
ton fees.
As the districts are now divided and
managed ChebOygan Is far behiad other
towns of the same or even less imp Ort-
ance. I'm Union there is strength" was
never more exemplihed than in the
management of public schools, and ef-
ficisncy may be added to the prOverb.
1t would give to our educational in
terests great impetus, which could
not otherwise be obtained.
Steps should be taken before the next
~ "a oil f,,r 60 1k%
the necessary charter, to unite all districts
in one, and when that il done aad the
system in perfect operation, the people
would not return to the present system
as 1t is more adapted to cOuRtry districts
than to growing, progressive city like
Cheboygan.
The present teachers are doing all
the work that is possible for them to do,
and in the most efficient manner which
the present system makes possible, vet
they labor undor a great many disad-
vangages.
These disadvantages would all be OBJ
Waited by the change proposed.
We should have more pupils in attend
ance and their progress would be far
more satisfactory.
The system of text books would be
uniform and not subject to so frequent
delays.
Another advantage would be that
children might attend the nearest ward
&C h0Ol.
As the districts are now constituted
many small children are debarred from
attending school in winter on account
of the distance.
The advantages may thus be. summe
up LIST. superior organization, I'd, uni
formity of text books. Sd, thorough
grading, 4th, greater efficiency with
no greater expense that at present.

A CANINE SUICIDE.-On Sunday last there
occurred singular incident in which Wash
Holiness bull pup won immortal praise
from all members of the canine and human
families. The first that was particularly OBJ
servable of an unusual nature in the dog was
when he came rushing into the open door of
Griggs' drug store, frightening the clerks in
to an idea that he was rabd. After running
to the back part of the store and back again
he rushed out and then tried to get into sew.
cral places along Main street in that vicinity.
A number Of gentlemen we're watching him,
and finally he started on dead run for Fox
river, into which he sprang head first With
out making single apparent effort to swim
or reach the shore he quietly sank to the bot.
tom and drowned. If this wasn't clear case
of canine suicide, then it was one of pecu-
liar form of malady, which it is to be hoped
every dog inclined toward hydrophobia will
follow before he has committed any mischief.
No one has been able yet to account for the
peculiar conduct of the pup, but the truthful
ness of the story is vouched for by the clerks
Of the store and two or three members of the
police force.
