all quarters, thick as blackberries' we hope our
readers will not think it egotism in us, to copy
few of them. These praises, though bestowed
mostly at the commencement of new paper, in

cause, is better and more extensively known,
than it was six or even two months ago.
Tho editor at Kalamazoo, who once printed a
paper in this town, at the villlge of White Pigeon,
says of us" The location on the st. Joseph riv.

pRipe Apples.-One of our good patrons,
Mr.. w. w. Bliss, of Ncw-Lowel, in this coun.
~, south of White Pigeon, presented us with a
a ,sh colored ripe apple, on Saturday last, July
3oth0 beautiful and fine favored, measuring nine
inches and ivo-cighths in circumference sam.
pie merely of about bushel now hanging upon
one of his trees, which was last fall but too
years from the Albany Nursery. Some of Judge
BuEL's choice selection, doubt, and better
fruit, probably, than would grow from making
him governor of New York /; though we ackndw.
ledge the scarcity rather Harriss-ing to Michigan.
YET this present affords us occular demonstra-
tion,' that good apples can be readily produced
here as in any other part of the world-without
waiting so many years as they do in most other
countries, for the trees to grow.

From the Detroit Daily Free Press, July o.

The first glance at the situation in which
we are now placed will show, that the whole
question now before the people of Michi-
gan for their action, is one of admission
alone. Our absolute REIMBURSEMENT of the
disputed territory does not depend upon the
adoption Of any, further measure on our part !;
for that district is now severed from us and
attached to Ohio, if the government of the
United States is strong enough to carry in
to execution its own laws. Let it be dis
guised as it may-"ADMIssIoN OR NO AD-
MIssIoN-that's the question" and the only
question which can be effected by the ac-
ton of the people in the convention just
called by the legislature. If we will assent
to the change of boundaries which have
been established by the general government
and which we must in any event relinquish,
we may go into the Union: otherwise we
must remain out of it.

much interest to the people Of this county, that

Mr.. FELcH wished to know if it had been com
pr I'd with the provisions ofhe bill ofllst session.
Mr.. G. st tied that it was copy of the charter
of the G lhoun county bank.
Mr.. WHIPPLE said, the bill chartering the bank
of Calhoun was considered with great care, and
he believed this bill conformed in every particu.
lar with that bill. He had made remark, on
the bringing up ofthe report, that it was the only
part of the stat, where similar institutions had
not been established. We had perhaps overlooked
them. With reg I'd to the selection of the loca-
ton, all who know the situation of the villlge of
Constantine, agree that the location of this bank
is we'll made, 1t will accommodate several other
