ENcoURAoINe.-The Equinoctial came
on all Of a sudden this year, and to the
annoyance of our folks, found Genesee
street in beautifully variegatcd state,
with half dug sewer running "down the
CENTRE" and piles of earth and piles of
wood on the two sides thereof. So it re-
NAMED for a full week, while the rains
came and the floods poured and there was
a moist time generally, and we heard I'M
comfortable rumors of "strike" among
the workman, that the ''matter" as ar
ranged was to remain, an stueco quOsh for
an indefinite period, but with the first
fair weather, Messrs. Carter & Hall, were
on hand again with a full force, and
Genesee street is pretty much "himsclf
again." at the date hereof Nix.

FISH. - 1t is really a matter of aston
ishment the amount Of fish hooked in this
river; yellow perch, in size from half a
pound to two pounds, are having the run
now, and of those we see bushels passing
every day. 1t is no trick at all for any
body that can bait hook with "woms,"
to catch half bushel in two hours, and
it is often done in half the time. Perch
now are in their prime, hard, fat and
crispy, and better fish for the pan are
not to be had at this season of the year.

FLINT AND PERE MARQUETTE RAILWAY

u
Last Saturday, in company with sever
al of the citizens Of this city and T.. IL.
TuoMPsoN, Esq, of Flint, we took our
first ride on rail over the track Of the
Flint and Pere Marquette Railway on the
aforementioned locomotive, Pollyieog or
rather on a tender, behind, as Mrs.
Darlington has it. The track isnow laid
five miles and a half out, and at the time
of our visit the laying was progressing
finely. To make the trip interesting, one
of the passengers on the train proposed
that eacl-of the party should try hand
at spiking, and accordingly "thc ground
for miles around" was most numerically
mauled by some Of the more unsophistica-
ted spikers in their efforts to hit the mail
on the head" On the return trip large
dog Of the st. Bernard species, the prop
erty of II. Pennoyer, Esq, leaped from
the tender, while the locomotive was un-
der full motion, and, for wonder, escap-
cd without serious damage. On the
home stretch the POllgwog "let out few
links" making the last mile in lilo
One thing particularly noticeable on the
line Of the track thus far, is the excellent
character of the lands for farming pur-
poses; they arc heavily timbered, with a
surface of rich vegetable mold to the
depth of from ten to twenty inches, and
loose clay and loan sub-soil; such lands
under proper cultivation, are the best that
we have. People Of this section cannot
overestimate the valuable service which
this road is doing for us, in opening up
TO settlement and improvement tract OF
valuable country all along the line, which
but for it, must have remained for some
time at least, in comparatively wild
state. We are pleased to learn that five
hundred tons of iron are now en- route
from Buffalo, and that all the iron nee.
essary for the track to Flint will undoubt-
edly be on the Company's dock in this city
by the first of November next.

McNIsH & Buffers IMPROVED SLAVE
AND BARREL MAcuINERy.-Oura attention
has lately been called to the above
machinery, which, as will be seen by adj
advertisement in this paper, is soon to be
introduced here, and from specimens of
the work produced, we are sure that it
must prove an invaluable invention for
the purpose designed. 1t dresses both
sides and joints perfectly, giving the ne
cessary bilge swell, and with such a
smooth, perfect finish as no workman can
put on, eight slaves per minute. One
man with one Of these machines is equal to
twenty without, and the work is infinitely
superior. In the manufacture Of all man
ner of tight casks and flour barrels, also,
the use Of this machine is destined to
supersede hand cooperage entirely. There
is not in the whole west a locality as ia
vorable for the successful working of these
machines as this on account of the album
dance of timber, facilities for shipment,
&c., &C., and we are glad to notice the
fact that a number of them are to be set
up here. A mill is now being erected on
Water street for that purpose. A model
of the machine will be on exhibition at
the State Fair next week in Detroit,
where it may be seen by all who desire
DO give it an examination. Mr.. GOULD
of Phoenix, Oswego County, N. Y. is the
proprietor, of whom Town and County
rights may be purchased. His stopping
place in the city will be at the Biddle
House.
