BoATs TO GRAND HAvEN.-Says the ed-
tor of the Detroit Tribune, who recently WIS.,
tied Milwaukee.
We are informed that an experienced ar
chitect of that city had just complete the
model o. steamboat to ply between Miwar-
kee and Grand Haven in connection with the
Oakland and Ottawa, and the Milwaukee and
Mississippi and other Wisconsin Railroads.
The plan of the model in question is some
what similar to the Atlantic steamers with
no top hampers, DC. of 1900 tons of burthen
and to cost not far fromS20O,OOO. The ar
chitect pledges himself that with two such
boats as this there will not be ten days du-
ring the year that lake Michigan cannot be
crossed by them with perfect safety. The
citizens of Milwaukee are preparing to build
one and they are DESTROYS that the Oaklal d
and Ottawa Company shall build the othe".
This will probably be done as it is but an
equitable division of the matter.

SEED GRAIN.-It is our candid opinion
from long and careful examination, that about
one fourth of the grains of wheat, and thos
of the largest size, are ruined for seed in their
passage through any threshing machine.-
We believe every grain that is struck a fair
blow by one of the teeth has its terminating
power destroyed, even when it shows no ex-
ternal breakage. And this, in our opinion,
is one of the causes of degeneracy in many
sections of the country in the quality of this
grain. 1t has long been remarked by wheat
growers that it is not as round and plump
MS it used to be. 1t is also a subject of re-
mark that it takes more seed lately to pro-
duce the same crop than it used to do thirty
wears ago. We meet now occasionally with
an old farmer who contends for three pecks
OF seed to the acre, because that used to be
sufficient. But that was when threshinc
was all done by fails, as all wheat for seed
should be. This is a subject worthy of very
serious consideration by all farmers.-N \.

worlds Temperance Convention.
This great unitary body Ii now in full blast
ct Metropolitan Hall. 1t is a mighty gather
ing of strong men and noble women. The
best speeches have been made by Horace
Greeley, P. T. Barnum, and Miss Lucy Stone.
Rev. Miss Brown made pretty speech, with
some sharp hits in it at Old Fogyism. Bar
mum has made by far the most effective and
telling speech of the Convention. For one
hour he swayed 5000 people as the reed is
shaken by the wind. He certainly greatly
exceeded my expectations as a public speak
er. Miss Lucy Stone, too, made most elo-
quent speech. She is very fluent, and her
speech drops like the rain and dstils like the
dew, snd now and then rolls like the noun
tain torrent. If Miss Stone could 90 thro'
our State and plead for the Maine Lew, she
would accomplish wonders She is modest
and youthful in appearance, delicate and re-
fined in speech, and winning in manner
The Convention is emnently successful one
and is considered a great triumph for the prin-
ciple of welcoming the cooperation of Wo-
men in the Temperance enterprise. To-day,
there are to be three sessions.
