Grand River times. [volume] (Grand Haven, Mich.) 1851-18??, 1853-07-06

The population within the last year has in
creased fifty per cent The government land in
the county is being entered at the land office
very rapidly. 1t is estimated that two-thirds Of
all the land sold in the county has been entered
within the last twelve months. The Muskegon
River which runs through the county, is the
Longest river in the State, being 270 miles in
length. 1t is a rapid stream,an furnishes abun-
dant water-power to cut up the immense pine
forests which line its banks.
There are now upon the river, run by water
and steam power, eleven saw mills using SIX
teen upright saws, seven siding machines, and
about the same number Of lalh mills. Last
year there was exported from the river TO Chi
cago and Milwaukee, 26,OOO,OOO feet of lumber,
about 100000 shingles besides large quant-
ties of timber, lath and single bolts.
The high prices paid for lumber makes that
business prosperous, and that influences all 9TH
err occupations. The farmer always realizes
higher prices than is afforded in this county, and
coarse grains especially, always command cash
at very high prices.
The timber along the streams is mostly pine ;
there is some prairie, and considerable openings
and heavy timbered (beech and maple) land
The soil, even of the pine land, is of good quail
ity, and of the beech and maple, particularly, is
unsurpassed in productiveness.
The inducements for emigrants to settle in
this county are very great, and we are glad to
know that they are improving them.

the loss of his son, Nelson, who was enticed
away from his house on the Goth ult, by a young
vagabond who had been in that neighborhOod

bad scar on his neck, was poorly clothed, and
barefooted, and is swearing, abusive fellow
Nelson Anterior is about fourteen years Of age,

hat, pair of plaid cotton pants, striped cotton
shirt, was barefoot and had on neither coat or

Mr.. BoDIsco is no doubt very stern monarch
Isl, and fit representative of the iron government
OF Russia; but great many Indignant sayings and
doings about republican demonstrations. are attri
buted to him We doubt not without shadow of a
foundation. Not long ago he was described as
rushing into Mr. Marcys chamber before breakfast,
and inyeighing bitterly against the Washington
Union After the press had made itself merry over
the account it received an authoritative eontradic-
ton. Now good many capers and declarations Of
a passionate character, are said TO have been per-
formed and uttered by him on the occasion OF the
news of Capt. Ingraham's exploit-it being even
said that he regretted that the Austrian frgate had
not sunk the American vessel and every soul on
board. The Washington Star says no doubt truly,
that this cannot possibly be true as it Is in direct
contradiction to Dir. BIS unvaryiug bearing here
during the whole OF his long previous residence IN
Washington"

FROM Rio-CorFEE.-The monthly statement
concerning coffee from Rio for the month of July,
represents the market to be very unsettled. Up to
the 14th the market seems to have been a little
f1at-an that day there was decided Improvements.
On the 18th there was some excitement, which in
creased until the end of the month. Such was the
demand ofdealers that business was almost stopped
The Report says:
Ofthe total sales of the month amounting to 12O
600 bags, estimate 55, 900 for Europe and 65 900
for the States. Our quotations. taken in view with
last sales, must be considered nominal on the one
hand there being no buyers, while on the other
dealers are disposed to concede, with stock of TO-
900 bags. Wequote superior 4iI650a4lI75O; prime
good hrsts 4ll550a4I6OO; good frsts 4I400a4t500
regulars 50a2300; good seconds 4I0Ooa4 100; or
dinary seconds 3I70Oa3le50. With regard to the
future march OF business, no reliable opinion can
be ventured on. The exalted idea prevailing among
dealers upset every reasonable conclusion. The
spirit of the next European accounts will not re-.
main without its influence.

millions of silver are wanted to supply the vacuum

Philadelphia mint, the largest OF the two, is only
equal to about Ss0O0OO per month, with two sets Of
