STEELE's LANDING.-It gives us pleasure
TO notice the increasing Importance derived
by this healthy and beautiful location, from
the spirit and energy of its citizens in dcvel-
oping its resources, and in laudable efforts to
promote its business facilities The erection
of several spacious and substantial buildings
for manufacturing purposes, and large and
well arranged School-House, for public use,
are convincing proofs Of its growing impor-
lance. The new School House, it is estima-
ted, will cost at least 81, 800, and accommo-
date from $50 to 200 scholars, and efforts
are being made to secure the services of Mr.
TAYLOR, of Grand Haven, as Superintendent.
A new steam Touring mill, built by Messrs.
CoMsTocK q Co., for three run of stone, and
the improvement in SrEELE's mill, compris-
ing two run of stone for Touring, and turn
ing lathe for the manufacture of bcdsteads
for the Chicago market, are worthy of notice.
A new steam stave mill, owned by HoYT q
Son, furnishes our Illinois friends with an ex-
cellent article and gives employment to a
great many hands. Other evidences are not
wanting to show the rapidly improving ten
dency Of the river towns, and the result of
careful and commendable rivalry.

For the Grand River Times.

Mr.. EDITOR My attention was directed TO an
article in yesterday paper, in relation to the GUAM
tity of liquors sold at our village drug store The
writer of that article docs not give his name, but
evidently trusts to his fertile imagination. instead
of looking up facts to justify his remarks. He
thinks the prosperity of Grand Haven in danger,
owing to so large quantity as fifteen GALLONS OF
liquor, of all kinds, being sold in one month, and
puts that down as an evidence that the place must
be deemed very sickly, and the lives of all the
new settlers in danger, and demands through your
paper some excuse for the sale of so large an
amount of liquors, under plea of sickness. Wheth-
er the quantity be deemed large not by the writ
er referred to- matters not to me my business is
to sell-on proper application, by proper per-
son. Now what are the facts in relation to this
matter? If the writer of the article referred to-
will take the trouble to examine the records from
first to last since the law came in force he will
find twothirds of the sales to persons not living
in the village, or even in the vicinity. Then we
have one-third left sold to persons in the village
and its vicinity; one-third of the remaining third
the druggist either mixed with camphor gum, or
various drugs, called for and prepared for small
doses of medicine, and what have you left of the
large quantity supposed to have been used in
clear state. Why, less than four gallons If the
writer of that article had told you the fact, that
within the last reported month the druggist in
Grand Haven sold seventy-eght one dollar bottles
of fever and ague medicine, from ninety to one
hundred bottles of medicine for diarrhea and
bowel complaints, in addition to other medicines
called for and sold, he might perhaps have convin-
ced yousef and the public that this is sickly
place in truth. But, sir, no such inference can be
made. More than three-fourths of these medi-
cines have been sold to individuals and families
living out of this vicinity.
should have paid no attention to the article re-
ferred to, but believing that feel as deeply inter-
ested in the prosperity of Grand Haven village as
any one, and of Ottawa county also, in which
have lived more than Is years.

On, THOSE APPLES THE forthcoming crop of
apples, throughout the country, will probably be
one of the most abundant known within several
years past 1t is stated that in many parts of New
York and Ohio farmers are obliged to propup the
limbs of the trees to save them from being broken
by the weight of their luscious burdens. Through
out the Eastern States the crop will be unusually
abundant. In Ohio, farmers are contracting their
apples at six to ten cents bushel-buyers gather
ing them from the trees The prospect, therefore
favors the idea that we may be enabled during the
coming winter, 10 enjoy an old fashioned New
England scene, when, with our loved ones assem-
bled round the ample Preside, we may discuss the
relative merits of the various kinds of ruddy
checked apples that peep so temptingly from the
well filled fruit dish, inviting all in silent but eX
pressive language of acquesence to reach forth
and partake of their rich, juicy pulp nor once
prompt sigh for the sparkling cider" like that
drawn by our youthful hands, and quaffed from
the old brown pitcher, in days of yore, ere our
juvenile hearts had thought it crime to sip the
nectared juice, but
Thought it cup which nature meant
TO man in kindness to present,
And give him kindly to caress
And cherish his frail happiness;
Of equal virtue to renew
His weary mind and body too"

ADVANTAGE OF LIFE INsURANCE.-The
Buffalo Republic states fact of interest con-
nected with the death of Capt. TITUS, of the
propeller Montezuma, recently drowned, near
Kalamazoo:
"The wife of Capt. Titus has for long
time held an insurance policy on his life,
which expired about the time when he last
sailed from Buffalo. He was notified of the
fact, but stated that he could not then renew
it, as he had not the money to spare. Be-
fore the thirty days time for renewal had
elapsed, and only few days before his death,
Mr.. Henry Daw, well known, liberal, bust
ness gentleman on the docks, became inform
ed of the fact, paid the premium, and the
widow is now entitled to $4,000 for her flu
ture maintenance. The relief will be most
acceptable, as it in reality constitutes her en-
tire legacy--the misfortunes which attended
Capt. Titus during the latter years of his life
having stripped him of the hard earnings of
a lifetime
"Capt Titus, who was the commander of
the Erie, at the time of her burning, and
Capt. Mcbride, who was her first mate, met,
after separation of years, at her wreck, af-
ter it had been towed into Buffalo last sum-
mer. But what is more singular still, just
fourteen years, to day, from the time the
Erie was burned, Capt. Titus was drowned
in the Kalamazoo Riverp

YELLOW FEvER-Teegraphic reports from
Norfolk, Portsmouth, and New Orleans, contain
mounful intelligence indeed, respecting the rava-
ges of yellow fever in those cities. Portsmouth
and Norfolk are almost deserted by those who can
in any way possibly afford the means to enable
them to escape, and have taken up their abode,
temporarily, with the farmers of the surrounding
districts, in numbers so great that hundreds have
sought lodgings in schoo-houses, and churches,
and in any unoccupied building that can afford
them shelter, while many of the more wealthy
have fed for refuge to the neighboring cities. Du
ring last week 221 died of this fever at New Or
leans. The citizens Of New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore, have held meetings for the purpose
of aording relief to the destitute who are suffer
ing so terribly from this disease and several thou
sand dollars have been forwarded for that laudabe
purpose.

CAN'T ENFORCE IT!-The Detroit Free Press
intimates that the Prohibitory Liquor Law can not
be enforced in Detroit, and is, therefore, dead
letter. Oh dear well, tell it not in Gath, publish
it not in the streets of the famous city, lest the
heart of the drunkard's glass-washer rejoice, and
the red-nosed tipper dance for joy. Can there not
be ten righteous men found in its liquor-perfumed
streets possessed Of moral courage sufficient to
prompt them to put forth one vigorous effort to
redeem the city from the unenviable reputation of
a community regardless alike of the laws of God
and man? If not
Sure PHYS due her wretched lot,
She seems like one by Heaven forgot"
