~ We are often in a quandary-a tortur-
ing suspense-but Valentines place us in state
of the most pleasant uncertainty. However
well we may know the autograph of every la
dy in town who writes Valentines, we are una
bic with certainty, to fix upon name, as au-
thority for these annual notes. All is disguise

relief; and how it makes our bosom bound

TURKEY AND FRANcE.-Negotiaton have
been carrying on for some time at Constantine
pie by the French minister for the restoration
of Jerusalem and other memorable places in
Palestine, to the special protection of France
and the Catholic Church. The French base their
claim on some old firman of long standing, in
their favor, by which the care of the Holy Sep
ulchre was granted to the Franks. A desire of
gaining the favor of the dignitaries of the church
has influenced Louis Napoleon in prosecuting
this measure On the very point of success,
Lavaatte, the French minister Mt the Porte, was
suddenly checked by the Russian Envoy, who
made similar demand from the Gear, rs sove-
reign of the Greek Church, accompanied by
such unmstakable threats that the Sultan can
not grant the French requistion. Russia claims
this protection, because these Holy territories
belonged originally to the Greek Church, and
never to the Latins, except during the time of
the Crusades.
The question now becomes political one,
and one well worthy of being watched. If Tur-
key yields to France, Russia will take that as
an excuse for an invasion and perhaps a seizure
of the Ottoman Empire. England will resist,
and a war at once break out. If the Sultan thro'
fear, yields to Russia and grants her the protec-
torate right, France and the whole Catholic
Church will be aggrieved, and England will re-
fuse consent that will give Russia a foot hold
in the Mediterranean. Though the pilgrimage
will be matter of indifference to England, the
question of the increased influence of Russia
over Turkey will not be. How far the present
situation of Louis Napoleon will affect this ques-
ton, can hardly be ascertained. There is, on
the one side, the eclat of fighting for the church
and the influence which war has over the
French, and on the other, the much to be desr-
ed favor of the Gar which might, ut any mo-
ment, be transferred to the Legitimate" claim
ant of the throne, the Count de Chamberd.

~ Will not some of our friends among
the old settlers of Ottawa County, give for the
benefit of our readers, an article upon our re-
sources! For some reason, our agricultural
resources do not seem to be known to the East
ern public. Emigrants cross Lake Michigan
and plant themselves in Illinois and Wisconsin,
when they might purchase as good lands for
farming purposes, as cheap, and more accessi-
BILE to good markets, here Our natural advan-
tages are so evident that a stranger, relying on
supposes our county to be in the hands of ac-
tual settlers, and that he must 60 to Wisconsin
or even further west, for we'll situated lands.
Our population is rapidly increasing, but we
have room for FIVE times rs many inhabitants
as we can now number And until we have a
population Of at least 10000, our resources can
not be fairly developed. Although, far the
greater part Of the lands in our county, are of
the best kind for agricultural purposes our
county, instead Of exporting largely, is actually
obliged to import supplies to feed our lumber
men,and their teams Nor does it necessarily fol-
low that we have no farming interests. 1t is no
trifing affair to supply our lumbermeu, as any
one who will note the amount annually exported
will understand. But until we furnish them their
supplies from our own farms, large proper
ton Of the profits of the trade, finds its way
into the pockets of farmers up the river" and
"across the lake."
