Horace GREELEY IMPRISONED IN FRANCE.
Through the politeness of N. H. WHITE,
Esq, our esteemed fellow-citizen, we are in
receipt Of the New York Daily Tribune, of
the 2lst inst, two days after publication, af-
fording us many interesting items of intelli-
gence; among these we find spicy article
from Mr.. Greeley, of the Tribune, now in
France, occasioned by his incarceration in the
debtors prison, Clichy. The circumstances
that led to the durance vile" of the seedy
coat, shapeless hat, heelless boots, and don't
care-how-they-look outer garments in gener-
al, enclosing heart elevated by more exalt-
ed sentiments than those merely inspired by
love of outward adjoining, are thus stated
for public edifcation: A little before o.
clock, ON the the evening Of the I'd inst, as
this world-renowned editor was returning from
the Palace of Industry to his lodgings, four
strangers called upon him. He was soon in
formed by his courier that they had writ
of arrest for him, at the instigation of one
Mons. Lechesne, sculptor, affirming that he
sent statue to the New York Crystal Pal
ace Exhibition, at, or on the way to which it
had been broken, SO that it could not be Cat
all events it was not) restored to him; where
fore, he asked of Mr.. g., as Director and
Representative of the Crystal Palace Associ-
alton, to pay him $4,000. Being an editor,
and, Of course, not having the "change," no
alternative remained but to give approved
bail for his appearance at Court or be enclos-
ed in a private department at Clichy. Good,
sufficient bail was offered, as one would sup
pose, in the person of Judge Piatt, U. s. Sec
rotary of Legation, and Mr.. M. B. Field, U.
S. Commissioner in the French Exposition,
but some objection being raised to such sure
ty, by the lawyer of the plaintiff, and Mr..
G. becoming a little excited in the matter, as
all editors are liable to, in extreme cases, he
was determined not to trouble his friends fur
ther in the matter, and to prison he went
But after two days spent there in close obser-
ration and profound thought, in relation, nc
doubt, to the different "phases" presented in
human life, by the aid of efficient counsel
and a proper explanation of the bearing Of
our laws in cases Of such nature, he was
permitted to" go in peace" to enlighten and
bless mankind, by scattering profusely the
glittering lights radiating from brain glow
ing with intelligence, and directed by heart
beating with true philanthropy and patriotic

JUVENILE PATRIoTIsM-Have our citizens
noticed that huge pile of hogsheads, barrels,
casks, edgings, and combustible material in
general, on the public square, on Washington
street? and have they wondered at the mo-
tive that should cause such display of COM
glomerated material, in the most attractive
place in our village? Look not upon it with
an evil eye. The Juveniles of Grand Ha-
ven, deeply imbued with the spirit of "'76,"
have reared it as an altar sacred to Liberty /;
and on the glorious "4th" incense of burn
ing pitch, tar, and oil, shall ascend, an accep-
table oblation to the Genius of Freedom, ac-
companied with a fair display of pyrotechnic
music highly creditable to the remembrance
:" of days that tried mems souls" Onward,
boys. Let patriotism have its perfect work !!

THE GRAND RIVER TIMES.
GRAND HAVEN, MICHIG'AN'
WEDNESDAY EVENING. JUNE 81, 1855.

THE PRoHIBIToRY LAW AT GRAND HA-
vEN.-We are happy to have it in our pow
er to state that good order, peace and unusu-
al prosperity prevail in our midst The Pro-
hibitory Law is working most charmingly.
Drunkards have become nearly obsolete. The
faucets of the whiskey barrels seem effectual-
ly closed; impervious to sympathy-though
longing eyes may be cast thitherward, and a
sigh escape the lips of some "bereaved
mourner," as the joys of other days came
fitting across his bewildered mind, when
Bachus ruled supreme.
6" He sad heart, being robbed
OF all his comfort, having lost the spirit
Which gave him life and motion, parting with all
That nourished his soul, spends his weary days
in sorrow,
In melancholy signs, and discontents,
Looks like pilgrim eff every hope deprived,
And vainly signs for days that are no more"
Poor man! "Sure PHYS due thy wretch
ed lot;" but despair not Nature has provid-
ed beverage in the pure rills that MARBLE SO
sweetly along thy pathway, of which thou
mayst drink and live. No sorrow; no blight
ing, whitening curses in their fount; no mis-
cry; no ruin to thy happy wife, and blooming,
prattling boy, lies hidden there! For the
sake of those loved ones-dear to thee as
the apple of thine eye-quench there thy
thirst! Murmur not, but rejoice that good
and brave men are stretching forth a strong
arm to save from the thousand ills of an in
ebriate's home, those who thus fondly cling to
thee for support, even as the vine around the
giant oak, and thus plant around thy man.
sion, though humble, many a rose whose
poisoning flowers shall yield thousand
sweets to happy hearts within.
Then, hail to the Maine Law! The har-
binger of "Peace on earth, and good will to
men" The dayspring, diffusing light, and
gladness through every heart! The bright
star of hope to many benighted wanderer
Long may it continue the law of our land

The LATE DUEL.-We mentioned in our
last issue the circumstances attending the
duel between Leavenworth and Breckenridge
at Niagara Falls. The New York Tribune
has the following in relation to the arrest of
Mr.. Leavenworth:
ave learn that Mr.. F. Leavenworth was
arrested on Wednesday on warrant issued
by Justice Pearcy of the Jefferson Market
Police Court for his participation in the late
duel on Navy Island. The arrest was made
at Schlosser, opposite the island ON the Amer
lean shore, where Mr.. Leavenworth has been
since the duel. Finding that he was not in
condition to be moved the officers took bail
for his appearance and he according still re-
mains at the same place. His wounds are
in an encouraging state. The thigh bone
has not been set, but that is soon to be done.
The removal of the bullet will be left to ma
ture.
The other parties to the duel are supposed
to be out of the State"
