The Late Mr. McAMiirc, Of Albany

Mn. Enron Your mention of the deaty Of
Mr. McIntire, reminds ma of his connection
with certain improvements on the Maumee rlv-
er; and those interested in the early history of
cur settlements, would, probably be gratllied to
have their recollection refreshed concerning it.
have it from the early settlers, that, sometime
after the close Of the war Of lSl2-l5 DR.. Stew
art and Mr. Mclntirc, both Of Albany, became
the owners of the tract of land on which Fort
Meigs is situated and laid out on the ri yer front,
a town, which they named Orleans OF the
North"
Mr.. Lovett. who had represented the Albany
district i'm Congress, in 1916 came out here aud
acted as agent for the owners, IN their efforts to
build the 4" Orleans of the North at that point
The speculation was an utter failure. The To-
cation was then very sicky, and proved fatal to
Mr. Iovett aud many Others whose bones now
repose on that lovely spot.
But bptor, the speculation fever of 1916 and
1897 had subsidized, Messrs. McIntire and Stew
art. with the view Of promoting the success of
their city enterprise, built the first steamer that
ever ploughpd the waters of the Upper Lakes
the " Walk in-ths- Water"
These men certainly deserve TO be remembered
for their forecast, in apprcciuting the CONNER
cial importance Of the position for a city which
the western extremity of Lake Erie offers tho
the right spot was rot selected in that day of
small water craft The Walk in the Water" "
was found, on trial. to draw too much water 20
navigate the Maumee, up to Orleans of the
North She only came up TO the mouth or Swan
Creek. on her first trial trip; and as the city
building mania of that day was short lived, il
is probahle that the new city at Fort Meigs was
in a diving condition, before the 80 Walk-in-the-
Water" had time TO do much to MD in prolong-
ing its life.
To have been the first to introduce steam pow
@, in the navigation of these inland seas, and
among tho earliest to appreciate the commercial
power of the harbor formed by the estuary Of
, the Maumee river, will, some day, be no little
claim to be remembered bv the historian who
goes back to the origin of cities aud nf lake

Ano,,,er spiit on slavery.

The Tract Society has had IA meeting, and OF
course the subject of Slavery cdlcred largely IN
"a its deliberations. 1t will b. remembered that
last wear the publishing committee refused to
print certain tracts relating to the subject oi
slavery, which causel much discussion and
severe censure throughout the North. 1t is, by
SOM, claim d that the tracts rel rred to were
designed to explain the duties OF mlsters to-
wards their slaves, and hence recognized the
rish, of man to no his fellow in bondage, aud
were therefore wrong This was undoubtedly
II strained view OF the subject and the suppress
sion of those tracts was unquestonab'y based up
OH thu supposition that the Tract Society has no
right TO publish anything which reflects upon
any vice which may be sanctioned by any branch
of the church This position of the publishing
committee has been sustained by the Society,
after stormy debate. We like the following
remarks of the Toledo Blade on this point;
1.-The ridiculous inconsistency of the posi-
zion which it has adopted, shows how easy it is
for men to bclog themselves by a course of spe'
cisl pleading. 1t clings TO the undlsput,

tracts on any subject which will give offence tc

FEDERAL AppoNrMsNrs.'-Th senate have
confirmed the appointment of Geo. w. Belden
as Attorney for the United States for the Nor
thern District of Ohio, and Mathew Johnson as
Marshal for the same District. Mr.. Johnson
has arrived in this city and will enter immedi-
ateIy upon his duties. We suppose the Office
of Marshal is a very lucrative one and will be
more than ordinarily SO for the next two years
as in that time the census is to be taken. Mr..
Johnson will make an energetic and efficient Of
fcer, and although disappointed candidates may
complain and squirm, his appointment will give

THE BEEs.--Early swarms of bees are as much
the most profitable as early chickens. There is
a saying we learned when boy:
ga swarm of bees in May is worth ton ofhay
A swarm of bees in June, is worth a silver spoon;
A swarm Of bees in July, is not worth hy;'
Tho flowers have opened very well this Spring,
to enable bees to feed early, upon which early
swarming depends. In the absence of flowers,
feeding the bees will facilitate their sending out
new swarms. Mr.. +. T. Sturtevant, of East
Cleveland, claims discovery of bee feed, BY
which he can bring them forward month or
two earlier than usual. The discovery consists
in feeding unbclted rye meal ,strewn upon boards.
