- The KsEeenaW, MIR. Cooley's new
yacht, was out for q trial spin Tuesday
morning. and, notwithstanding the fact
that two 6-horse power motors are really
very small power for boat of that size,
she speeded up verynicely. The name
is an Indian word indigenous to Michi-
gan, and means rocky shores or bluffs.
We have received some very fine views
of Indian River at this place, and of Tt
tusyille, taken by Mr.. A. c. Scrimgeour,
OF Brooklyn, while here in December
last, that are very highly appreciated.
Mr.. ScrimgeouT's work as an amateur
speaks for itself. and would, indeed, be
creditable to many professionals in the
art.

ren's horse was killed Tuesday by one of
the trains on the F. f. G. railway, prob
ably the midnight train. The animal
