NorIcE OF pRorasr,--The Supreme Court
of Michigan has decided that a Notary's notice
must say expressly that the draft has been pre-
sented for payment, and that payment has been
refused. 1t is not enough 10 say the note or
draft has been protested for no~n.paymsnt.
BAGG1NG.-We have understood that it has
been recently ascertained that better bagging
can be made of tow than hemp, if machinery
lis used, and that a very extensive establishment
in the west is about adopting the improvement.
The bagging is said 10 be much more compact,
with the interstices nearly close, making a more
perfect covering for cotton than the common
kind, while the first cost will be much less. The
hemp Will be used for making rope. Its to be
regretted, if this Isl real improvement, that the
hand-loom manufacturers cannot avail them
sslves of it. "
