THE LATE FRosT.-From private cores
pondence we learn that the frost which visit
ed us on the Goth ult was equally severe in
Indiana and Illinois, doing serious injury to
the corn and other crops. 1t also visited the
central and southern portions of this State
with similar effect. How much further east
Ii extended we have no information at hand.

PASSAGE OF THE ARMY APPROPRIATION
BILL.-Since our last issue the Army Appro-
priation Bill has passed the two Houses of
Congress. The final vote in the House stood,
lOl for, to SO against. This result was brot
about by the return of absent members, the
expiration of pairs, &c. The President is
exultant over its final passage, and gave a
grand dinner party on the following day,
which was attended by Messrs. Cobb, Orr,
Hunter, Toucey and others of the faithful.
A general congratulation took place, and the
opinion was expressed, that the result estab-
lished the wisdom of the Presidents course
in calling the extra session.
The President contemplates, in few days,
visiting New Hampshire, for his health

A BLOCK IN RUINs.-The large and splen-
did brick block, erected on Canal street, by
Messrs. TAYLOR q BARNS, the walls of which
were very nearly completed, fell to the ground
this morning at Ct o'clock. ut
The block was four stories high above the
foundation or cellar walls, with three walls
running through the inside, making seven
brick walls in all. Bnt two and small por-
ton of the front wall is now standing, and
they are expected to fall every moment.-
The foundation walls were composed of cob
bic stone, and these were crushed apart by
the immense weight of the superstructure.
A crack in the wall was discovered last
night, and early this morning LEWIS G. DA-
WILSON, the master mason, visited the build
ing to examine its condition. A heavy rain
having fallen during the night, he felt appre-
hensive Of the safety of the building.
The walls fell while he was in the cear-and,
strange to say, he got out alive, though Sc
verely bruised. The clerks in the Post Office
were engaged in distributing the mall but es-
capped without injury, though the mail was bur-
led in the mass.
Had the crush occurred one hour later,
many lives must have been lost, as a large
number of workmen would then been en-
gagged upon the building.
The loss of property must fall heavily upon
the enterprising proprietors, and, perhaps also,
upon the contractor.
The building was an ornament to the city,
and we trust little time will be lost in recon-
mencing the work Of its reconstruction.

FIRST ARRIvAL.-Our gustatory organs
were very agreeably entertained last week with
repast of delicious peaches, from the fruite-
ry of H. G. PosT, Esq, at Holland; similar
favor has also been received from H. T.
YOU'VE, Esq, of Crockery-the first ar
rival of the season. The scarcity of fruit
this season renders any kind inviting but
more particularly the variety under consider
alton. Many of the best orchards in this
portion of the Grand River Valley will scarce
ly afford sufiiciency for the family use of
the propretors. Plums and apples may be
somewhat more abundant, but the yield will
be indeed a meager one, compared with 9th
err seasons, and we shall be under the necessi-
ty of looking to other sources for Eden lux
uries.

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS Nothing evil

INTERNAL IMpRovFMENTs.-Not hing evin-
ces more indubtable evidence of thrift and
general prosperity, in any community, than
the interest taken by its citizens in providing
good roads and substantial bridges for their
own convenience and that of the travelling
public.
/ During the past year good and praise
worthy work of this nature was commenced
and vigorously prosecuted under the superin-
tendence Of L. D. GILBERT, ESQ.,, and re-
sumed again this season, under the direction
Of G. B. ALBEE, Esq. Third street, in this
village, has been taken in hand, put through
a general renovating process, graded and
ditched, and presents at present an appear
ance quite corporate. Other streets have
been greatly improved. A public high way,
direct, is being opened to the "Old Beech
Tree" another has been surveyed and is now
in course of clearing, grading, DC, from this
place, due east, to an intersection with the
Grandvlle road, near the residence of Mr..
FERRIS, rendering the distance to Grandville
some four or five miles less than by the usual
route. Contracts have been let to rebuild
the bridges at Bass River, on the Grandville
road, to be completed by the first of January
next. A new and substantial bridge is also
being built over Big Pigeon Greek, at Port
Sheldon. When these public highway i'm
provements shall have been completed the
main thoroughfares, radiating from this point,
will be in a condition that will favorably com
pare with any in Western Michigan.

Firenen's Review.

Monday last was the day for the annual review
of the Fire department of the city. From the
commanding and favorable position we occupy
the services and ceremonies of the day, were Pc
culiarly under our eye. In the distance gather
cd "No g." and young America Hose" while
near at hand, " No l." and Hook and Ladder"
marshalied their sturdy forces Arrayed in their
brightest costumes, with their several machines
in the neatest and most serviceabe trim, and
preceded by martial music, the companies para
,ded the principal streets, making very ANNA
ted appearance On market square they were
drawn up into line, when Mayor Hughes, accom-
panied by Alderman Scott and acting Chief En-
gineer, J. V, Aver, passed themin review. The
Mayor reported that he found every thing in a
highly satisfactory condition, and made brief
speech in which he complimented the companies
and congratulated the city on the efficiency of
its fire department, which was responded TO by
the cheers of the companies. This done, the
hose was laid on, the brakes manned and the
streams directed cloud ward. Not TO be behind
hand, the clouds returned the compliment, and
let down a perfect cataract, and the boys made
n break for some place in which to keep dry.
They found several first rate places in which
the dryness was occasionally relieved by the per-
sstent entreaties of some clever fellows, and
good time generally was had.
The fremen are not only an ornamental but an
exceedingly useful institution. Long may they
wave.
In the evening alderman Stebbins was elected
Chief Engineer to fill the vacancy occasoned by
the removal of j. L. V. Yates. An excellent
selection.
member of Young America suggests to us
TO suggest to the City Fathers that a hose cart
which will accommodate all the hose owned by
the city, is very necessary. Should fire break
out ten times its value might be lost for want of
it "a word to the wise" &c.

In the Country.

At this season of the year, the thought of be-
ing in the country, among the waving fields of
grain or in the cool and eafy forest, or on the
broad and flower -decked prairie, is invigorating,
and if we stop occasionally to make note of
the places we are charmed with it will not be
thought strange:
Among such places is IVES GROVE, Racine
Co. We doubt if there is country hamlet in
the State that can compare with it, in all the
essentials that render residence desirable
Upon the one side, are the oak openings and
on the other broad and fertile prairie. The
luxurious growth of vegetation testifies to the
richness of the soil. The place takes it's name
