THE GRAND RIVER TIMES.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL II, 1855.
r~- Spring has at length really made its APP
GRAND HAVEN, MICHIGAN.

eB- Spring has at length really made its APP
pearance, with its sunny, blithesome days, ac-
companed with the song Of birds, and the
awaking of plants and flowers SO long bound
in the death-ike chains Of winter. The ice
that our stream did fetter" is fast disappearing
under the softening rays of an April sun. The
wonted din of business is heard again upon our
wharves; steamers are threading their way to
and fro upon our river; and the more unpre-
tending vessels are arriving home and departing
to the Garden City,"
Although our winter has been long and Sc
we're one, requiring an unusually large quantity
of hay and grain for stock, yet we congratulate
our farmers upon the cheering prospect the
present wheat crop presents for an abundant
harvest. Should the present season prove ordi.
narily productive, instead of the deleterious in
fuence frequently exerted upon the wheat after
the snow has taken its departure, by constant
freezing and thawing, it has been strengt Iening
its root, and even expanding its blade beneath
the long continued covering of snow. Not ON.
ly does the wheat in our own county look re-
markably well, as far as properly seeded in the
autumn, but cheering intelligence is reaching us
from all parts of our own, rs well as from neigh
boring States in relation to the prospective
abundance Of the forth coming harvest

s" We beg leave to call the attention of
our numerous subscribers to the advertisement,
in another column, of Mr. l.. M s. SMITH, of
Mill Point. No doubt many shilling may be
saved by those in want of goods Of the descrip-
ton advertised. An early call will, doubtless,
satisfy all that when dealer really makes up
his mind to sell his entire stock in trade, and
that as soon as possible, there is not the least
trouble to suit customers, as far as it concerns
prices.

LOUISVILLE, March %.

The State Penitentiary, at Nashville, is in ru-
ins. The fire broke out at three o'clock this
morning, in the Cabinet depot of the Peniten-
tary, the flames spreading with great rapidity.
In short time the portion of the building set
aside for the different branches Of trades became
n burning mass. The east wing of the building
then caught fire and is so much damaged as to
render it useless The cells were all thrown
open and the prisoners conveyed to an enclo-
sure inside the walls. One convict named Con-
nor was smothered to DEATH Not single pris-
oner escaped. All the tools in the different
shops were destroyed, as well rs all the work
being manufactured. The loss is estimated at
100000.

Strictly speaking, Heckers' Farina is neither
