Mrs. Stanton held a reception for the ladies at Park Place parlors Tuesday afternoon, and talked in a social way to them on women topics. The men were ruled out, but from whisperings among the women, overheard by a Herald reporter, we judge the ladies were well pleased.
This to whom it may concern: The editor of this paper hereby gives fair notice that he will no longer furnish young maple trees for hitching posts for the use of the attendants upon the Methodist church. He has done this for several years past, each spring renewing those killed by the previous season by the horses tied to them while the owners were attending services in the church. Last spring, as usual, an entire row of new trees was set to replace those killed in this way the year before. These were set with unusual care and protected with high boxes. Within the last two or three weeks nearly all these trees have been killed or badly injured. We have stood just all of this we are going to. We would kindly but forcibly suggest to the trustees of the Methodist church that hereafter they supply their church with its own hitching post. We touch this subject mildly today and sincerely hope it will not be necessary to refer to it again.
The HERALD has referred once or twice lately to the mysterious disappearance of an insane German woman who lived about four miles south of Northport, Leelanau county. In December last this woman, Emma Deygenkolb, wife of Adam Deygenkolb disappeared, and the husband claimed she had wandered off into the woods. No effort seems to have been made to find her. Recently suspicious of foul play were aroused and the papers of Leelanau county have been urging an investigation. On Monday of this week a party proceeded to Deygenkolb's house and commenced searching the premises. They began cleaning out an old well near the house; Deygenkolb stepped into the house and a few moments afterwards was found upstairs dead, having cut his throat from ear to ear with a table knife. The first shock of horror at this discovery over, the party began again their work at the old well satisfied they would make startling discoveries. And they did. There at the bottom of the well, wrapped in an old blanket was the body of the murdered woman. Her throat had been cut, no doubt by her husband who had now committed suicide to escape the punishment of his crime. We believe there is but one child left seven or eight years old.
The preliminary work has been done for a complete atlas of Grand Traverse county which when complete will be the most convenient and finest thing of the kind ever issued for northern Michigan. We have not space today to notice all the important features. In addition to general U. S. and state maps, population tables, etc., etc., it will contain as the most important and distinguishing features, town maps on a scale of two inches to a mile, showing farms with their boundary lines, number of acres and names of owners, railroad, vacant state, government and other non-resident lands. Also dwellings, stores, shops, mills, etc., with owners' names attached, public roads, rivers, streams, churches, schools, etc.
Separate plans of villages on a larger scale, colored by additions, giving streets and their names, lots with their numbers, ground plans of houses, stores, shops, mills, public buildings, properly located on their respective lots, outlots, etc. A table showing the names, occupation, residence, post office address, nativity, and the year of settlement in the county of patrons to the work. Also a classified business directory for the patrons living in towns and villages. We have seen two are three county atlases published by the same house and know all is done that is promised. Of course such a work is strictly local in its character and the completion of it must depend upon the patronage it receives. If this is not sufficient to warrant the publication cannot be done. To every business man in the county it will be invaluable, and it will certainly be a convenient book for reference for the farmer as well. The atlas is published by C. O. Titus of Philadelphia.
