To the friends Of Temperance and the
public generally we now make our appeal
in behalf of this paper. The publisher
feeling it matter of importance to the In
terest of the Temperance cause in the Dis
trict, as well as the general interest of the
cause, and having been, as ne conceives,
Providentaly placed in situation at this
time when he can mingle this interest with
that of the business men, and thereby rem
der double service to the community, and
still further open medium Of communica-
ton by which our principles may be ex-
tended far and wide, at a cheap rate. He
has purchased printing establishment, so
as not only to be able to put daily paper
regularly to press, but also weekly; and
still further, be able to do any other print
ing the public may be pleased to have done;
and he assures them that they shall have
no cause Of complaint. He has made ar
rangements by which he can devote his
time to the interest of the office and the pa
per; and, having employed Mr. Charles w.
Fenton, who will be always on the spot, to
conduct the printing, he has no doubt but
that general satisfaction will be given. We
shall make arrangements to have the earliest
news; also the proceedings Of Congress.
We wish all who are indebted for the pa
per up to this time to pay up, as the affairs
of the tri-weekly must be closed. They
will perceive that we are about to give
them better paper, double the number, at
the same price.
While the stCoLUMBIAN FOUNTAIN" will
be devoted to the cause of Temperance, its
columns will be enriched by original articles
on subjects calculated to interest," instruct,
and benefit its readers. 1t is intended SO to
blend variety, amusement and instruction,
as that the various tastes of its patrons may
be (as far as it is practicable) gratifed.
Commerce, Literature, and Science, and
every other subject Of interest, not inconsis-
tent with Temperance and morality, will re-
ceive the earnest attention of the publishers.
Nothing Of sectarian, political, or personal
character will be admitted.

forests; but slight inspection of the interior
led to the conclusion that as a military station
it could not offer very effectual resistance to
resolute attack, though sufficient doubtless
to control the hordes of Indians which here
congregate to trade and to receive their annu-
tiles from government. The scenery about
Mackinnw is more wild and broken than on
the main lakes, though still it could not be
called mountainous. The few clearngs in
the neighborhood presented sterile appear
ance, and the inducements to inhabit this iso-
lated region, except for hunting and fishing
aud trading with the Indians must be very
small indeed. The Mackinnw trout are taken
here in abundance and are esteemed very OK
celcnt.
Passing this station we launch out into the
broad llurori, and see scarcely trace of the
habitation Of man, until after 'twcnty-four
hour = sail, we cntor the ST. Clair River and
are again cheered with view of cultivated
fields and good framed houses.
At this season of the year, this tour of the
Lakes is delightful. The waters are smooth
the boats are good-thc travellers for the
most part are courteous and sociablc ,rcprcscnt-
ing every portion of the Union the scenery
though somewhat monotonous, yet exciting
to the landsman on account gifts novelty. On
one side is a boundless waste of waters occa-
sonally broken by wooded island, and on
the other an almost unbroken line of forest,
now jutting out in head land and now curv-
ing around Il deep bay, and the attention of the
traveller is on the alert to discover some marks
of habitation. Now and then schooner
hcaves in sight with her white sails resting on
the dark water like bank of snow, and she
is watched until, as she is gradually and al
most imperceptably approached, we at length
come along side and in n moment sweep. past,
and she silently rcccdcs and diminshcs in
the distance until she disappears from our view
When wcaTied with gazing on these objects, we
may resort to reading, and in the quiet saloon
or on the promenade deck we may pursue this
amusement with as little interruption as in our
own sitting rooms. But in the fall ofthr year
the navigation of the lakes is often hazardous
and serious accidents are not untrcquent

receive Wool to manufacture by the yard or

Cassimercs, striped and checked of different
patterns, and fianncls of all descriptions and
coors; also, Frocking, an article that has been
much called for, but has not as yet been made
at the Factory.
1t will be useless for me to tell how much
experience and skill have had in the bust
ness, or how skillful workmen intend to en-
ploy, as it isexpected that every one who goes
into such business is competent or has hands
who are, though sometimes people are disap-
pointed; it is enough for me to say that all who
may please to favor me with their custom may
rest assured that no pains will be spared in do
ing the work in the best possible manner, and
| trust in u style that cannot fail to suit Gus
toners.
Also, WOOL C.4RDED into Rolls, and

n. b. Those who bring wool to be manu-
featured requested to ascertain how much
they want ofthc different kinds, so that they
can tell when they leave their wool that | may
know how to meet their wants.
