Il use for our PopIays-At the last sitting OF the
Soclete d Encouragement polT lIadustrie Natioaaie
of Paris, paper read. setting forth a plan
for making paper trosn wood. The bark is first
taken off the wood, and the wood cut in such
way as to be easily made into shavings; the sha-
wings are then cut very thin next they are placed
in water for six or eight days, then drieJ. and
afterward they reduced to the finest powder
possible by means of corn mill This powder
Is then mixed with the rags which serve to PIE
pare the pulp OF paper, and the ordinary opera
ton of paper-making is proceeded to- All white
woods, such as the poplar, the lime and the viii
low are suitable for the purpose, but the discov-
erer ascribes good deal OF his success to the
quality of the water he employed--that of the
little river Dollar, which runs near the Null
house For the first experiment he employed the
wood of the trembling poplar and he presented
specimens of paper made from it.

FINE RAIs.-On Friday night and Saturday OF

still COOL but vegetation is making considerable
progress. Nature begins to smile and show
signs of pride over green MANTLE which is grow
ing more beautifully variegated each day. The
feathe:ed family are giving morning concerts to
all early risers, free of cost but fear to quite
small audiences. We have attended several, o:

ciate good music" Young Ladies and Gentle
men, you would be truly delighted with the rich
melody of natures songsters, if you would attend
their concerts which open at four O'Clock each
morning. Try it.
Plenty more of rain since the above was in

Sad Calamity.

A remarkable instance of cumulative misfortune is
noticed by the Norwich Courier. The clothes Of a
little girl four years old, daughter Of John Barry Of
that town, caught fire few days since, and in mo
'nent she was developed in flames. In her fright
she out Of doors to her father, who was at work
near the house, the wind blowing gale at tho time.
The mother followed, and in her efforts to extngush
the fire it communicated to her garments, and finally
to those Of her sister, who had flown also to the
sstance Of her child. Mr.. Barry now found three
Of his household in flames, and in trying to get them
back to the house, of the wind, the fire communi
Gated to the DIOR of the house, but not SO as to do
any great damage. The little girl was burned so that
she died in short time Mrs. Barry and her sister
were badly burned, but expected to recover; ;
both Of Mr.. Barry's hands were burned black in his
efforts to subdue the flames. and small boy, younger
than the girl, suffered shockinsly in his hands by
his efforts to assist.

EmigratiOn to Minnesota.

Seven canvas covered wagons, loaded with
women, children, bedding, pots, kettles, &C.,
attended by number of German emigrants,
passed through town to-day, ON their way to
Minnesota. We should suppose they might
find an "Opening" in Wisconsin that would
suit DECENTRALIZATION Journal, 18th inst.
The immigration to Minnesota thus far has
been almost incredible. We here only see the
numbers that are arriving daily by steamboat,
but those who come by water forms but a
small portion of the total immigration. The
roads through Iowa and Wisconsin leading to
this Territory, are literally covered with teams
and stock belonging to immigrants. The Ga
lena advertiser publishes an extract of letter
dated Lansing, Iowa. May 9th, which says
At this time there is a large emigration COM
ing in here of farmers, mostly eastern men,
who are buying improved farms at from $500
to $4,000. These men generally were "well to
do" at the East, and bringing with them con-
siderable money, and much to the advance
ment and improvement of the country. l do
think that Alamakee and Winncshiek counties
will nearly, if not quite double their popula-
tiOn this season. The rush into northern Iowa
and Minnesota is unparalleled in the history of
the settlement of any part of the West.
One great thing is, that the great majority
who come are intelligent, Industrious and pub
lie spirited men, who OF once set to work to
open fine FARMS make them comfortable hous-
es and good homes, build school houses, church
es, &c.
Many persons bring their families by water,
leaving their teams, stock and farming utensils
to be brought overland.
1t is confidently believed that up to the pres
ent time the population in the counties west
of the Mississippi has more than doubled
Those counties adjoining the Iowa line are
probably increasing more in population than
others, owing to the fact that they receive
their quota from the immigration by water
and the beautiful rich and healthy agricultural
lands of those counties, are apt to arrest the
progress of more than fair proportion of the
land immigration.
