A DARING LEAP.-The Nashville Banner Of
the Gath ult, gives the following account of a
leap by young man, from the Suspension
Bridge which spans the Cumberland River to that
city The Banner says:
| A large number ofpersons collected together
Saturday evening to witness the leap of MIR.
Watkins from the suspension bridge. AT the
hour appointed, he mounted the railing, near the
centre of the bridge, on the lower side. waved
his hat to the crowd, ard boldly made the leap
AS he descended, and when about ten or fifteen
feet from the water, he threw himself back, for
the purpose of striking the water feet foremost,
but little slanting. But he miscalculated the
distance, owing to the illusion caused by the ca
noes in the stream, which seemed TO rise as he
shot swiftly down, and caused him TO think him
self nearer than he really was, and, therefore Oh
reaching the water, his body leaned more thar
he intended, and he struck partially upon his
back The concussion was we're severe, and
sent the water flying in every direction. On
coming to the surface he attempted TO swim,
but was too much injured TO do 80. lie was
lifted into canoe, and carried TO the upper Ian.
ding, and thence borne to his boarding house.
He is not seriously hurt, and will be able, it is
thought, to be out in few days The height OF

weather..

Items under this head are scarce. There was
however on Sunday morning an observable va
ration in the state of the atmospheric con-
siderable mitigation of the extreme heat that
had been prevailing for long succession OF
days previous, but the protractcd dry weather
still continues without any prospect of an imme.
date interruption. From some distant parts OF
the country we hear of copious showers, but the
drouth seems to have been quite general, and
crops have suffered in many sections.

N ulsanCes.

The necessity imposed on US to "speak out"
under this head implies gross neglect on the
part of some of our citizens. For several days
during the past week the air, particularlyin this
part Of the village, has been rendered intolera-
bic from the existence Of various foul stenchcs
that have been so observable as to be made the
subject of very general complaint. We know
not precisely where the blame lies, but we
should Judge that the sources of this evil exist
in more localities than one. Too great care
can not be exercised, especially during the hot
season, in providing against such Accommodations
of filth as have evidently brought about the
present unwholesome state Of the atmosphere.
If individuals will persist in reckless disregard
of their own health and comfort as well as that
Of their neighbors we trust the proper author-
ty will take summary measures to have the mat
ter rec!ihed. The Supervisor and Justices of
the Peace Of the township constitute board of
health, and have full power to make and execute
all necessary regulations in reference to the
present subject of complaint. Thus far the
state of health in our village has been good, and
it will probably so continue if we can be permit
ted to enjoy the free air in its ordinary degree
Of purity. We hope this subject will receive
the attention its Importance demands. Proven
ton is better than cure

The IIOlIantIers.

Affairs in the south part of the county now
wear an appearance more than usually healthy.
Not only is the Wilderness being steadily re-
claimed by hardy, frugal, and industrious pop
uation. but various other industrial operations
arc being fast called into activity. The lumber
business has this year risen to Importance and
bids fair to cause further growth in the already
considerable commerce existing between Black
Lake and Chicago In the spring n vessel of
about seventy-6vc tons burden was launched.
Another of one hundred tons is now in process
of construction. Both are owned by Holland
ers. Several Americans have recently become
residents of Holland, but fair proportion of
the trade belonging to the place is in the hands
of its early inhabitants. The profits of bust
ness will mainly accrue TO persons who have a
direct interest in promoting the welfare of the
Colony, and this we regard as one of the most
flattering indications of its future prosperity.
The improvements at the mouth of the lake
are being prosecuted as fast as an advantageous
outlay of the money appropriated will allow.
Week before last commencement was made at
driving the piles for bridge pier. This part
of the work will be completed in about five
weeks. The pier alone will be great accom-
modation but nothing short of the proposed
harbor, which it is to be hoped will be opened
in the course of a very few years, can fully an
swer the necessities of the place.
While the Hollanders have been contending
with the hardships incident to the settlement of
a new country they have been far from being in
different to matters of public character. Good
roads have been opened, substantial bridges
have been erected, and churches have been es-
tabished. The schools are well sustained, and
the press, represented by the Hollander, is quite
literally patronized In fine it is gratifying
to know that there exist among our new neigh
bors all the usual evidences of a prosperous
state of society. Population with them is some
what OF the increase. New buildings are going
up. Money is abundant, and as elsewhere the
products of labor find a ready market.

THE GRAND RIVER TIMES
GRAND HAVEN, MICHIGAN.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST IT. 1855;
q. a. q. Railroad.

Railroad reports are again sup" Mr.. HIGH
Am, Chief Engineer of the o. & y. r. r., was
in town last Thursday. Through him we learn
that the construction of the road will be CON-
menced in less than week from this Tine
The location from Ada westward is not vet
made, but it seems to be generally understood,
and on good authority we believe, that the route
as ultimately fixed will pass through Grand
Rapids. There are certainly strong reasons for
supposing that this will be the case In such
be almost sure of having the road for at least
part of the distance from the Rapids. The
supposed effect it will have on the interests of
different individuals in this neighborhood causes
the location of the western terminus TO he
looked after by many with considerable anxiety.
AS to which of the proposed routes would be
productive of the most real benefit to our coun-
ty we are not SO well informed as to have ven-
tured fully to form an opinion. Of one thing
we are certain, the railroad people will have but
very little share in such local feelings as may
prevail hereabouts. They will of course look
sharply after their own interests which are near
ly identified with those of the people at large.
Unless therefore they greatly err in judgment
we think we shall never have OCCASION on our
part to find fault with their final determination.
The Detroit Free Press, of the l 18th, contains
intelligence received in letter from Mr.. Stew
ART, dated London, July 26, to the effect that
he had closed a contract on most favorable
terms for the company, with parties in Engl and,
for nine thousand tons Of railroad iron to be
delivered in New York-three thousand tons on
the first of October next, and six hundred tons
on the first of each succeeding month until the
whole amount of the contract is fulfilled
These flattering reports however find some
unbelievers, among whom may be numbered
several of those connected with the press in
different parts of the State. But we know not
why there should exist this lack of confidence
in the good faith of the company. So far there
seems to be a perfect consistency in all their
movements. We can discover no sufficient
motive for their attempting to deceive the pub
lie in the manner it is claimed they are doing.
Neither does the early construction Of this road
look to us like an upracticability. Both local
and other interests that will continue to aug
ment rapidly in Importance, now render some
such thoroughfare through the northern coun.
ties an absolute necessity. There is good rea-
son to believe that the present period Of gener.
al prosperity will be of long continuance, and
should this be the case there need be want OF
neither men or means to accomplish all the
company have promised.

RAILROAD CATAsTROPHE.-A terrible catas-
trophe on Tuesday evening, on the Bevidere
Delaware Railroad, a: Bulls Island, nine miles
from Lambartsville, N. J. This is a new road,
and intersects with the New Jersey railroad at
Trenton. The particulars are given in the ex-
ira of the Lambartville Diarist, dated yesterday
morning. Ten persons were killed upon the
spot, and one died yesterday. About twenty
others arc more or less injured The accident
occurred by a train of ten platform cars being
thrown off the track. The train was conveying
the aboring men of the Bevderc Delaware
Company, and about one hundred of those as
sisting in the repairs of the Pennsy lvania Canal,
to their homes-altogethe over two hundred
men-when it was thrown from the track. 1t
was backing down the road, about shutdown,
when a COW suddenly jumped upon the track,
almost under the platform of the foremost car.
The car was thrown oil, and five others follow
ed before the locomotive could be stopped
some of them being overturned, and others set
up on tho end. N. Y. Tribune.

RAPID GROWTH OF OXEGoN.-From the first
week in 1853, to the intelligence by last dates,
it appears that the amount of immigration to
the territory of Oregon, is over ten thousand
which, added to the thirty thousand already set
tied on her soil, and the natural increase since
the taking of the last census, must bring her
present population up to forty-four or forty five
thousand. So that we may safely calculate that
Oregon will be the next claimant for admission

"IHEY WERE ONLY FOREIGNERS" THE Chica-
60 Tribune thus feelingly and truthfully COM
mented upon the heartless remark quoted above,
made by some cold-booded person, when large
number of foreigners were killed, disabled and
MANNED, by the late fatal collision on the Mich.
gan Railroad:
"And what if they were foreigners? Is not
life worth as much to n German or an Irishman
as to an American? DO not Germans have wives
and children to be cared for Do they not have
beating hearts as well as other men! Do they
not feel the loss Of children just as keeny as
the truest Yankee. Are lives to be thrown
away and people talk indif1ercntly, because the
first breath was not breathed in American air
Away with such narrow, heartess talk. We are
all Of one blood, all descended from the same
parentage. We all alike have human souls
we are all made in the same image-that of the
great Creator. Human life is most sacred 1t
matters not under what roof it commenced, or
what language it used to express its wants. On
some accounts, the fact that the disabled, the
MANNED, and the dead are from foreign Shores
dcepens our sympathy and sorrow Five thou
sand miles they have come to seek home with
us They had left kindred, they had brought
with them the gathered fruits of years of toll
They were in search Of an honest livelihood in
free America. If they had died at home in the
midst of friends, and been buried at home in the
| old graveyard, by their fathers, the case would
not have been so bad"
