out to say, intending 10 show that there

A communication was recently re-

spoken Of thu consul declares there are
moro dogs than horses hitched 20
vehicles on the street,, probably twice
a. many, and thsis usefulness In this
respect Is not confined to any Que line
but distributed through many. The
consul tells ", Bhys the New York
Sun, that 600 pounds IL the u,unl Loaf

There is good prospect that saw
ings bank will soon be organized
in this city, by responsible parties,
and if so It will prove of great ben
eft to persons of small means, as it
will enable them to receive interest
on their savings, and encourage
laboring men to lay by portion of
their wages for future needs.
At present there are two banks
in the city-the Alpena National
Bank and the private bank of the
Comstock Brothers, neither of which
pay interest on deposits. The ma
tional bank pays small interest on
certificates Of deposit, when the
amount is $500 or over. Both the
present banking institutions have
deposits which amount, we believe,
to $500, 600, and on which but little
interest is paid.
A savings bank, with parties back
of it in whom the people have con-
fidence, would receive considerable
of the money that is deposited, and
would do a large and profitable bus
mess. Such an institution has been
needed In this city, and we believe
it will be heartily welcomed by the
Industrious.

the Avery mill. 1t is probable that
the rafting grounds will be made
ready during the coming summer,
SO as to be in readiness for the sea-
son of 1895. All the short logs Of the
company, we believe, will be manu-
featured either at the Avery mill
or at some of the bay shore mills.
1t is also likely that the Avery ter
minus will be made a shipping
point for a great part of the cedar
and other products that come down
the Alpena & Northern railroad,
and there is some likelihood that
spur will be laid to the stave fac
tory, and thus furnish an easy
means of getting slaves to the
railroad wharf.

sent August Grossman, August
Forman, Charles Foegler and Henry
Jacobs to prison for life, and by his
knowledge of the crime himself re-
ceived life sentence to prison in
this city, (Jackson) to-day made
another confession. He says he
told the story at first when he was
drunk and half crazy from having
had all his farm buildings burned;
that after that he was frightened
into sticking to his story on the
threat from the officers that if he
did not he would 60 to prison. If
he did, he says, they promised
he should go free. To-day he de-
clared that he did not care what
became of himself, but he wanted
to tell the truth about the others 30
they must get out. He said there
was no hope for him; he had no
friends or money. He knew he
should die in prison.

During the past few years the
insurance companies have supplied
the people with all the calendars
they desired. A great many of the
insurance company calendars are
works of art, with beautiful engrav-
ings, and are given freely. The
object of giving calendars is to ad-
vertise the companies. Last fall
the insurance companies decided to
do but little in the calendar bust
ness, and only one or two have issued
them, so the number given away is
not large. Most people, during
1894, will have to buy their calen-
ders, unless business firms issue
them as advertisements.

Saturday evening. The streets were
crowded with people who were mostly
on the Santa Claus business. The
stores that kept Christmas goods
were packed with buyers, and hum
dreds of people were loaded with
packages that were destined to bring
pleasure and enjoyment to young
folks.
