He says : " The buildings are all nevertheless extraordinarily strong and last for centuries. There are houses in Upsala over C00 yeare oW. There is no night here in summer, only a twilight of three to four hours; one can read the newspapers by sualght at 11 o'clock p.m.; cf course in the winter the days are correspondingly short" It is wonderful what a famous place Petoskey has become. Oae of our citizens, who has just returned from there, says it is estimated that at least 3,000 health seekers are now at Petoskey and adjacent resorts. To gei cut of this parched up part of the state, with its intolerable heat, and go where the cool, refreshing breezes are constantly invigorating the system, is a luxury highly appreciated. Bay View, one mile from Petoskey, near the head of Little Traverse Bay, is twelve years old, and now contains some 200 beautiful cottages. The G. R. & I. R. R. donated 360 acres of land and $1,000 in money, provided an association would occupy it and annually hold a camp meeting there for 15 years. An association of Methodists aocepted the offer.

Waterman, cf this city, has a charming doublé cottage at a poi'nt commanding a magnificent view of the bay, and its lovely surroundings. The great pleasure of living there lasts but a few months, then the little villa is all deserted and the bleak winds of a northern winter sweep over it, ts sidewalks covered four feet deep with drifting snow, are buried from sight, and all is desolation. A death occurred in this city last Priday, around which there is considerable mystery. George Madvig arrived in this city the latter part of last June to be treated at the hospital for a chronic disease, but as they were about to close he sought a boarding house on Jefferson-st. The best of medical aid attended him but to no effect, until last Fnday morning, when he breathed his last. Áround his life there evidently hangs a mystery. He was noncommunicativeup to the day before h9 demise, when he told one of the attendanfg that if he died to send wor 1 to a friend of his, whom he named, at Marquette; and to another he said he had once been employed as a cashier in a bank at Copenhagen, Denmark. Up to a short time before his death he was engaged in writing a history of hioiself. The manuscript was written in fairly good English, filled with quotations from eminent writers andmany Latin phrases. He hadn't completed it, and had evidently not followed his life clear through, but had only written a part of t in broken chapters. It appears from it that for several years past he was a sailor, and had been in many foreign ports. In 1884 he was appointed by the U. S. government, keeper of the lighthouse at Stannard's Rock, in Michigan. After serving here for a time he was transferred to the Manitou lighthouse. From papers and letters found on his person it appears that he had a devoted wife end two boys living in Copenhagen. In her letters she spoke of her sufferiogs at being separated from him, and that the boys, both of whom were well advauced in their studies, spoke of him in kind and affectionate words, and all joined in expressing their desire of sometime seeing him back home. In one of her letters she referred to some trouble, but what, it was not stated. When he died he had about $30, an elegant Knights Templar charm and a fine gold watch and chain. His remains were kept until Monday morning, when they were buried in the potter's field without ceremony, and his relatives notified of his demise.
