Editor Larke, of the Presque Isle
Advance, threatens us with shower
of "ironical remarks" if we don't
build railroad, partly for his con-
venience, from Alpena to Hubbard
Lake, by next fall. Our cotempora-
ry is such a disbeliever in this rail
road, that we feel somewhat inclined
not to build the railroad for him.
He don't deserve it. An editor who
threatens another editor with a shower
of irony, is not entitled to railroad,
or even a pass over one. Wonder if
our esteemed cotemporary wouldn't
substitute his shower of irony for a
rocket, two Roman candles, a bunch
of fre-crackers, and five torpedoes,
and bring them to Alpena to help us
celebrate the next Fourth of July?

Our sincere thanks are due the
State for two volumes of "Howelps
Annotated Statues of Michigan"
The work contains all the laws of this
State that were in effect up to and in
Guiding 1882. Many of the laws en-
acted in 1883 are also in the work.
Included with the work are the de-
cisions Of the Supreme Court in re-
gard to the meaning of the laws.
The notes fully explain all doubtful
sections and enable person to under
stand the various laws. They are of
great value to newspaper office.
The legal fraternity speak very en-
thusiastic regarding the compilation.
The State has endorsed the work as
correct and by an act of Legislature
the compilation is made official.

The schoolmaster Of our Republic.

"When our republic rose, Noah
Webster became it's schoolmaster.
There had never been great nation
with a universal language without
dialects. The Yorkshireman can not
now talk with man from Cornwall.
The peasant of the Ligurian Appen-
mines, drives his goats home at even
ing, over hills that look down on six
provinces, none of whose dialects he
can speak. Here, five thousand miles
change not the sound of word.
Around every fireside, and from
every tribune, in every field of labor
and every factory of toll, is heard the
same tongue. We owe it to Noah
Webster's Spelling Book and Diction.
aries. He has done for us more than
Alfred did for England, OF Cadmus
for Greece. His books have educated
three genertions. They are forever
multiplying his innumerable army of
thinkers, who will transmit his name
from age to age. Only two men have
stood on the New World, whose fame
is sure to last-Columbus, it's discov-
erer. and Washington, its saviour.
Webster is and will be its great
teacher; and these three make our
trinity of fame"

The Petrifactions.
BrRKE's RANCH, Aug. 81, |

BURKE S RANCH, Aug. 81, 1881
In my former correspondence l
have not mentioned the petrified
stumps and trunks of trees that are
found scattered about this country.
There is a grove of petrified stumps
OF about an acre, about six miles east
of Young Mans butte and about one
and half miles south east of Custer's
lookout standing apparently as they
grew; many were large sized trees.
The petrifaction is very hard quartz
closely resembling flint, while some
specimens are found which resemble
agate, somewhat translucent. 1 no.
tlced about thirty feet of the trunk
of a tree on bluff of Green river,
that was probably petrifed before it
fell. These petrifactions seem to be
of a more recent date than the coal.
as they are all on the surface, yet as
they are usually found on high places
the stumps may have furnished the
wood for the coal and while the coal
was covered with rich soil portion
of the stumps remained uncovered.
The water that flooded the heavily
tlmbered country must have been
heavily charged with silica in soluble
form and the soil got thoroughly
charged with it, as that theory is the
only one that accounts for the re.
markable stiffness of the straw this
soil produces.
