~ The Troy arrived at this port Sun
day last, from Chicago fully freighted. We
understand she is to run, for time at least,
on the Chicago and Grand Haven route, in
place of the Huron, disabled and sunk du-
ring the late gale, and now in the process Of
being raised and repaired.
The Troy, during the past winter, has
been thoroughly overhauled, repaired, renova-
ted and rejuvenated, comes out as good as
new, with her cabin, upon the upper deck,
enlarged, and fitted up in style that speaks
at once of ease and comfort. No pains OF
expense seems to have been spared by her
gentlemanly owners to render her every way
worthy the patronage of the public; and we
trust with her old commander, Capt. JOHN
WARREN, in charge, her gentlemanly and
obliging Clerk, GEo. OseooD, and, in fact,
her efficient officers throughout, in attend
ance, she will enjoy that favor, on the part Of
the travelling community, to which she is
meritoriously entitled.

In this village, on the 29th ult. after protract-
ed illness, Mrs. CLARIsA MURRAY, aged "a years.
Also, at Muskegon, Mich, on the Sd inst, of
lock.jaw, GEORGE w. MERRILL, eldest child and
only son of 4. w. Merrill, Esq, aged Ia years.
The deceased had accidentally had his foot
pierced with nail, some nine days before his
death. He was apparently quite well until the
I'd inst, when his symptoms became alarming and
medical aid was called, but all efforts proved una
vailing.
This affection falls heavily upon the bereaved
parents, who were preparing to send him to Ypsi-
lanu to attend school, with bright hopes for the
future. Several of his classmates were also to
accompany him on his journey, little thinking he
was so soon to journey to that bourne whence
no traveller returns"
The funeral services were appropriate and SOL
emn, and the large assembly present to witness
the last sad offices and rites that the living may
render to the dead, showed feeling Of deep SYM
patty for the afflicted family.

ANONYMOUS LETTER WRITERs.-If there
is one reptile on the face of Gods foot-stool
more mean, despicable, and loathsome than an
other, it is that sneaking, crawling, contempt
ible object, who blows bis dirty slime and
venom through an anonymous letter. There
are such base wretches in our midst who void
seek to stab the reputation of others by writ
ing scurrillous letters to which they have not
courage to append their names, or noblness
enough to trace their filthy spleen in charac-
tiers Of their own chiography. The murder
Gus Foot-pad who gives you the choice of
money or life is bright and shining angel
compared with the mean and cowardly anon
ymous letter writer. Commend us, say !, to
the merciless barbarity of the South Sea
Island Cannibal, an eternal residence amid
the plaques of Egypt; gather the ofscouring
of helPs darkest corner, the filth and garbage
Of earth's most rotten corruption, and let us
live in the midst of it all, but keep far from
our sight and hearing that shameless, brutal
coward who fears to acknowledge their own
effusions. 1t is the last step person can
take in the downward path of crime. Man
may have plundered his mothers grave, dug
up her coffin, and bartered her remains to
supply his beastly appetite; he may have sold
the bright jewel of a sisters honor for sordid
gold, and reveled at the banquet with her
paramour; he may have imbrued his hands in
the blood Of father and brother and feast
ed on the remains of bis own babe; he may
have run the black flag of Piracy to the mast
head and sent hundreds, unprepared, before
their God; may have done all this; aye, and
more, but they will stop and blush ere they
claim the acquaintance or acknowledge the
friendship Of that soulless being, an anony-
letter writer. JAIL.

Grand River times. [volume] (Grand Haven, Mich.) 1851-18??, 1857-04-15
For the Grand River Times.

MI. DARNS. Oan you iuioIn oho SOou
people of the Grand River Valley, why it is,
that owners of steamboats, on Grand River
have arrived at the very sage y conclusion,
that ride from your village to Grand Rap
ids is worth two dollars this season, when we
were waited along last season the entire dis
lance for little more than half that amount.
Now, sir, this may do for those who have but
to dream of gold and awake in the morning
and find themselves its happy possessor; but
to us, who are engaged in raising wheat, corn,
and potatoes, and wringing with our own
hand, and by the sweat of the brow, subsis-
tence from mother earth, thischarge seems in
the highest degree erorbitant, and can be
very lily afforded.
Do the boats ply on Grand River for the
accommodation of citizens whose residences
are in proximity thereto, or do they run mere
ly to enrich the already we'll filled Golfers of
wealthy ownersG
If the former suggestion be the true rea-
son, l would, ask are the citizens accommo-
dated? and if so, wherein?
If the latter then the policy adopted by
owners of boats may, if the public will sub
init, accomplish the dersired object.
And now, sir, question or two in relation
to the Olive Branch. Was it not tacitly un-
derstood, if not stipulated in writing, on the
part of the several stock holders, that that
boat should for time to come, be emphatically
the peoples boat, that she should be put upon
the river for their express accommodation and
that at the lowest possible rates? And was
not the project of her construction first en-
tertained, for the reason, that DANIEL BALL
d Co. had, during the season preceding the
one during which she was built, raised the
fare from one dollar to one dollar and twenty
five cents from Grand Haven to Grand Rap
ids, and the tariff of freights in similar ra-
ito?
When that boat first commenced her trips,
did she not carry passengers for one dollar
from you village to the city, and then in a
few weeks raised twenty-five cents thereon,
and thus continue up to the present year?-
And now, how are the people accommodated
with charge of two dollars fare in the place
of former rates, and corresponding increase
in the rates Of freight
This arrangement, sir, is far from given
satisfaction to the citizens of towns bordering
upon the river, and the only apology offered
to the public for this change, as far as we can
learn-thot the boats didnotpay expenses last
season, as heretofore-is not sufficiently ac-
credited to render the arrangement satisfacto-
ry Now, sir, if you or any other person
can explain the reason why the old tariff of
prices have undergone such complete met
amorphose, you may be able to hush many
and loud complaints, and oblige
BACKwooDsMAN.

The contest is ended! the battle fought
the victory won The citizens of Ottawa
County, by majority truly astonishing, even
to the most sanguine, have decided the ques-
ton Of the removal Of the County Seat in
the negative. Grand Haven is to continue,
as it has been for the last twenty years, the
seat of Justice for old Ottawa. This decision
we can but view as correct not because we
are intimately interested in its being retained
at its present location, but because :" the So
Der second thought of the people," even Of
those now in favor of the removal, we believe,
will decide that it is for the interest of our
county that no change, in this respect, should,
at present, take place. Ten years hence, will,
in our opinion, alter the state of our affairs,
polite, very materially.
Upon the line of the Detroit and Milwau-
kee, and South Shore Railways, villages and
fourishing towns will spring up, as upon the
line of the Central and Southern Roads, and
will introduce dense population of sturdy
yeomanry where the wild deer now roams
undisturbed, save now and then by the
steathy tread Of the Indian hunter, and the
gigantic trees of the forest will resign the
soil that now nourishes their stalwart branch
es to invigorate the thrifty grains that yield
their substance for the food OF men.
When this shall have taken pace-which
we predict will be the case ere long-then
our people will be better prepared to decide
truly and justly the proper location for our
future County Seat, so as to meet the conve-
nience of all, and subserve, in the highest de-
gree, the interests Of every class of our citi-
zens.
The following is correct statement of the
vote given in the several townships on the
question of the removal of the County Seat:
