Since the Times has taken an independent stand,
many of its exchanges in this state (mostly demo-
cratic) have discontinued their favors This leads
us to suppost that they of that class who will
receive nothing as good unless it comes from their
own party, and revolves in the same sphere with
themselves. We can part with them, however,
since it appears must. Still, we have faith to
believe, that with present list of exchanges,
we can furnish good and acceptable variety of
reading
1t frequently occurs that city papers, especially
those of Boston and New York, refuse to exchange
with country papers, considering theirs the most
valuable. 1t may be So They certainly are enti-
tied to be their own judges But we have known
instances of city papers receiving subscribers thro
the influence of the country press.
While we think that receive some excellent
journals, we would not ask other people to bend to
opinions, nor admire thing because we do
Yet, should any Of our patrons wish to subscribe
for paper published at distance, will, at any
time, be pleased to exhibit our exchanges, and will
receive and forward subscriptions to the publishers.
LUMBERMEN's BANK.-Messrs. f. L. FULLER
& Co. have opened a banking and exchange office
under the above name, in Grand Haven, first door
west Of Cutler & Warts store In connection with
the transaction of general banking and exchange
business-in which they intend to invest SIS 900 or
S1OO,O0O-they propose to engage in the buying
and selling of lumber by the cargo, &c.
We do not know how much of those branches
of business there is to be done in Grand Haven,
but certainly wish Messrs. FULLER & Co. success
in their new enterprise
TO BY the poiteness of Mr. PATTERSON, the
gentlemanly clerk of the steamer Huron, we re-
ceived on Sunday morning last, New York papers
of Friday; and Chicago papers of Saturday which
contained telegraphc dispatches of the same day,
from Washington, New York, Boston, Louisville
and Quebec, being days in advance Of the mails.
A mail route from Chicago to GrandHaven would
be of great advantage to Ottawa county.
GIVE would tender our thanks to AJLEGG CAT.
of the Washington House, for favor Of late Chi
cago papers.
GD~We learn by the late telegraphc reports
that the rain has caused much damage to the
N. Y. & Erie r. r. Such injuries will occasionally
be experienced by any road but with the efficient
and thorough management by which this popular
route is governed, such obstacles are speedily and
admirably overcome.
