The entertainment at the Opera
House last Friday evening, given by
the pupils of the high school, under
the direction of Prof Lankenaw, in
commemoration of Longfellow, was
we'll attended, and was perfect
literary treat. the exercises were finely
arranged, and selections wen made
and creditably rendered. The music
by Mrs. Woodwork and Jones, and
Messrs. Staley and Lankenaw, with
Mrs. q. H. Hicks at the instrument,
well repaid all for their attendance.
We were greatly surprised last eve
ming at reading in the Detroit Tribune,
letter purporting to have been writ

sane, could SO misrepresent the coun-
try from this place east and west. -
Even the ''pine barrens" of which he is
so contemptuous are proving to be
productive farming lands, and there
arc millions of acres of as good soil as
can be found anywhere. We Imagine,
II the letter is genuine, that Fred want
ed to give Grayling revengrful
thrust His sympathy for the Hon
Sec. of the Interior, is refreshing.
