THE GRAND RIVER TIMES.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE %, 1853.
GRAND HAVEN, MICHIGAN.

na5' In another part OF our paper we publish
the proceedings had at the meeting of the board
of Supervisors held last week, pursuant to an
act of the Legislature passed last winter, for the
purpose of equalizing the assessment rolls
The Session occupied three days. The action
Of the board on the assessment rolls seems to
show that so far as our county is concerned the
passage of the act above referred to was well
timed. OF the fifteen assessment rolls present
ed but three were allowed to remain unatered.
In several the valuation was reduced by small
per centage, and in others it was raised, in a
number of cases being doubled. In the town.
ship of White River, embracing the morgan
lied counties of Mason and Oceana, no assess
ment had been taken. The aggregate amount
of real and personal taxable property of the
county, exclusive Of White River, as assessed
and equalized, is 1892 ,4S9 so being more than
double the amount of last years assessment
which was $5lO977 &c. The assessment yet
to be made in White River will materially in
crease the figures in favor of this year. TIMo-
THY FLETCHER and NJ B. HoPKrNs were appoint
ed County Assessors, and will in few days
commence the work of assessing the delinquent
township. Last winter Manistee was set off
from this County and annexed TO Grand Trav-
erse. This renders the task of the assessors
much less arduous than it otherwise would have
been. Hon. TIMOTHY EASTMAN was chosen to
represent the County before the State Board of
Equalization in August. But little other bust
ness, and that of no special interest, was trans
acted. The expenses of the county for year
past have been unusually moderate, and its fl
nancia affairs are in fiattering condition. The
amount of outstanding orders must be very
small, and the good price which this kind of pa
per now commands, is fair index of the conf
dence which the public have in the ability ofthe
county to meet with readiness all its pecuniary
obligations.

New Advertisements.

We call the attention of our readers in other
parts of the county to the numerous advertise
ments that have recently made their appearance
in the proper columns of the Times. 1t is quite
evident that our business men have determined
to adopt the true policy in prosecuting their
mercantile operations. Ready pay and small
profits in connection with a liberal system of
advertising is now the motto, and we certainly
know of no other place where its adoption is
more practicable. Our people are not subject
ed to the necessity of receiving the avais of
their industry only at the end of stated periods
of long duration, but the nature of their occu-
patton is such as to keep money in constant cir
culation, and thereby enable almost every pru-
dent man among them to make prompt pay
ments for whatever it may be needful to pro.
cure. Notwithstanding much is said on the
part of some against the possibility of doing
business for ready pay only, we are well salts
fed that with us, the system can be made to
work to great extent, and that it will result
in the mutual advantage of both buyer and sell
Ter. We do not at present possess sufficient
information on the subject to enable US to in
stitute an accurate comparison between prices in
our own and other towns 10 this part of the
State. We know well, that very decided re-
duclon has been made this season from the rates
at which goods have heretofore been offered.
We know too, that almost every commodity
can, and should be sold here cheaper than in the
interior towns. The expense and delay of at
least one reshpment together with additional
transportation is saved to our merchants. The
cash trade is the most safe, and in the end the
most profitable. Our location too, as regards
business matters, is such as to cause our village
to be frequented at all times by the Inhabitants
of large extent of the surrounding country.
This is an important centre in the industrial OPP
erations of wide region, and full adoption
and continuance of the wise policy now pur-
sued in the mercantile line can not fail to secure
vast increase Of trade with our neighbors that
will prove to be of great mutual advantage.
That such policy is to prevail in future we
have every assurance. Fair promises at least
are now made as every one must have observed
who has consulted our advertising columns for
the last few weeks. Our next issue will con-
tain several other new advertisements which
will give more extended view of this matter.
We trust our neighbors out Of town will note
them before going elsewhere to make purchases,
and that they will also bear in mind that those
who advertise are determined to sell.

last appointment Of such monies, and distrib-
ute the same according to law to the treasurers
of the several townships for the benefit of their
library funds, and in case the amount can not be
exactly ascertaned, that he use his best infor-
nation and judgment and settle said account as
equitably as possible.

Changes which are not Changes.

We hear street rumor that Mr.. BARNS, our
new Postmaster, will appoint the old incumbent
deputy, and leave the office as it is. 1t is also
currently reported that Mr.. FERRY, our former
Collector under Mr.. Fillmore's Administration,
has been appointed deputy by his successor,
and that the office is left in his charge. We
next expect to hear that Mr.. ToRREY will be
renstated in the Light-Ho as deputy keeper.
If these things are so, we think the new Adj
mnstralon would have saved themselves troub.
lie by leaving the old incumbents of the govern
ment offices here undisturbed **

UTAH TERRIToRY.-The Deseret Ne,os gives
us some insight into the progress of the settle
ments in the Mormon region. From this source
we learn that Palmyra contains one hundred FAM
lilies, the first house having been built in Sep
TENDER last. 1t is surrounded by fine farming
region, and has good water facilities. Spring
vile has more than one hundred and thirty fam
lilies, besides grst-mill, saw-miI a brass
band, and a school for teaching the French and
German languages. Provo is a large town, and
much crowded. Many new buildings are in pro-
gress, German and French schools are taught,
and dramatic association is in operation. A
bridge across the stream at Provo, to replace
one swept away by spring flood, is in progress,
besides Touring mill, and company is turn
ing the Crown river into its old channel, to pre-
vent overAows. The town of Cedar, in Iron
county, contains seventy men about half being
employed by The Desert Iron Company. This
place has a dam and water course several fur
naces, and casting house. The town of Har-
mony, in the same county, has All iron foundry
in rapid progress. Parordan, also in Iron coun-
ty, is extensively engaged both in the lumber
and iron trades. They have iron works there.
Several other settlements in the iron region are
named, all apparently quite fiourishing.

FIRE.-The lumber about and near the saw
mill of N. II. White, OIL Buck creek, about six
miles from this city took fire last night, and
threatens the destruction of the mill as well as
the entire quantity Of lumber, amounting, we
are Informed, to or 100000 feet. Engine No.
2, accompanied by firemen and citizens went
out this morning, at four o'clock, to aid in saw
ing the mill and some lumber, if possible. The
mill was safe at eleven o'clock to-day, but re-
Inducements were sent for and they were start
ed at once. This must, in any event, prove a
serious loss. q. r. Enquirer, 18th inst.

DEATH OF GEN. RILEY.-Brig. Gen. Bennett
Riley, brave and distinguished officer, and an
honest man, died in Buffalo on Thursday eve
ming. Gen. Riley has been known Familiarity TO
many Of the citizens of Detroit for long time
past; he was last stationed here in command of
the 9th U. s. Infantry, and left here in lS47, to
90 to the Mexican war, in which he won new
laurels, and added to his fame by the brilliant
charge at ChurubuscO and other exploits. 1t is
now more than two years since the gallant form
of Gen. Riley was seen bending over the bier
of Brady, whose person and character he loved
and venerated, and now under the memorable
commands of the King Of Terror, he is himself
summoned to lie down beside him in the valley
of the shadow Of Death.

Gen. Scott has become one of our citizens.
Last week he purchased the magnificent house
recently built on Twelfth street, near fifth Ave-
nue., by Chas. Partridge Esq, the manufacturer
of Locofoco Matches. He who has accumula-
ted fortune by the making of Locofocos, sells
palatial residence to a man who is politically
killed by the same material. The General, af-
ter all, will owe his domestic retirement in
double sense, to Locofocos! He paid $4,000
for the house with stable-just $1,000 more
than years salary as President.

PRUNNG.-Those who prefer summer for
pruning apple orchards should now be up and
at it, and remember that where the wound made
by removing branch is, say an inch across, it
should never be left exposed.
Annual pruning will save the necessity of
removing large branches. Too much thought
cannot be exercised in pruning. The French
gardeners are the most successful primers in
the world. Not twig is removed from a tree
without first calculating the effect it will have if
permitted to grow, upon the shape and appear
ance of the tree, or what will be the effect if ia
ken off He who prunes without design will be
as likely to do mischief, as to benefit his trees.

" We are told that the statement we gave
last week respecting the collision of the Mich
igan and Detroit was calculated to give wrong
impression as to the manner of its occurrence.
This statement was hastily written. We had
heard but one version Of the matter, and that
just before going to press. AS related to us
this was altogether one sided. We Intended
to have it appear in our columns entirely strip
ped of this character, and as public journalists
to merely note down news item for the benefit
of our readers. We will say that we have
since heard an account which directly contradic, s
the first one, but as to whether any one was to
blame or not we have never taken the trouble
to form an opinion. That is a matter of more
interest to the parties Immediately concerned
than to us.

Post Once Arrangements.

The necessity for increased mail facilities in
this section, and the general apathy that seems
to prevail on the subject induces us to make
few observations under this head. What our
wants are in this respect we well know, but
why they are not better supplied is more than
we can tell. Nearly all Of our mail matter
comes and goes by way of the Rapids. There
are two or three steamboat arrivals every day
from that place, and yet we are allowed only
tri-weekly mail. Why can we not have daily
mail on the river? A tri-weekly mail for large
business community like this, and under such
circumstances, is in poor keeping with the ac-
tive movements of the age in which we i've
A mail route should also be established be-
tween this and Chicago. Wehave regularcom
muncation by steam three times week with
that city, and our business relations in that quar-
ter, already important are constantly increasing.
We could get the latest news from that drec-
ton in one fourth he time now required for 1t
to travel through the interior of the State from
Detroit
But we wish more particularly to call atten-
ton to the proprety of making move to Sc
cure the establishment Of a permanent route
northward on the lake shore. This should ex-
tend as far north as Manistee, and perhaps even
to Grand Traverse. The inhabitants along the
coast are now suffering much real inconveni-
ence for the want of some arrangement of the
kind. In the summer their mail matter comes
directed to some office on the other side. There
in many cases it lays for weeks, and often new
er reaches its destination. In the winter the
people have paid for carrying mail on the
beach. Will not some of those most directly
interested in this matter take such steps as are
necessary to secure the establishment Of gov
eminent mail III that direction, together with
some half dozen post Offices on the route. by
the close of navigation this season! A month
y mail would be better than none. 1t should
be carried as often as once in two weeks, and a
weekly mail would be still nearer the right thing
The necessity for just such arrangements as
we have suggested is every year becoming more
and more apparent Their ultimate accomplish
ment is absolutely certain. They might as
well be perfected at once and be contributing to
our present convenience. We trust some com
petent persons will move Immediately in the
matter. Too early action can not be taken
