n.clslon in the on.onagon Size chse.

An important decision touching the question
of title to the site of the town of 0ntonagOn,
Lake Superior, and affecting the interest of
former Clevelander who was one of thepioncer
settlers at the mouth OF the ontonagon river,
Mr.. Daniel R. Cash, has just been made by the
Supreme Court of Michigan. 1t was an appeal
of Cash and others from the decision of the Dis
trict Judge of the Upper Peninsula, awarding
certain lands to Henry Selby in ontonagon.-
The Supreme Court ruled that the decision of
the District Judge must be reversed, and the
claim disallowed and the proceedings annulled
for want of Jurisdiction in the Judge to act
The Detroit Tribune publishes the opinion of
the Court, and remarks that the decision is a
very important one, as il settles the title to
every inch of ground in the town, and renders
it valueless 1t will require legislation to re-
Ieve the people of Ontonagon from the unpleas-
ant dilemma in which they are placed

INDUSTRIAL School IN ToLEDo-The exam
pie of Cleveland in regard to an Industrial
School is being followed in Toledo. A school
has been opened in the Bethel for the street pu-
pills, and the first day of the experiment over
fifty were in attendance. Several ladies' have
volunteered assistance as teachers, and others
have furnished provisions and material for
needlewOrk. The Blade says the programme
Of exercises is as follows:
In the morning, the boys and girls are taught,
during the usual school hours, such lessons as
the volunteer teachers may find adapted to their
condition or capabilities; at noon, a lunch, pro-
vided by the charity of those who favor the plan,
is dispensed among those who are needy, and
the boys are then dismissed for the day. The
girls remain and in the afternoon are taught
sewing on such work as may be furnished.

aIiehIgau AgricrIturaI College.

sa' To our neighboring State of Michigan be-
longs the credit of establishing and sustaining
s-t the first State Agricultural College in the eoun-
try. We learn BY the annual report of the
State Board of Education, that the amount aP-
81 propriated tn the Agricultural College for the
purchase clearing md improvement of land,
erection OF buildings, procuring stock and main
tanning the College, which has been in sue
eessful operation for nearly two years, has
81 been SIO9,7O Of this sum the proceeds OF
Salt Spring lands furnished s56, 800, appropria-
ton of 1857 was s4O, 900, and expenditures be
= yOnd APPROPRIATIONS are sIS,472.
The College now has accommodations for
really less than sixty students, but these are
made by the necessities of the case to answer
for one hundred. The number of applicants SO
far exceed the accommodations, that the Board
recommend that provision be made as
q ss practicable for the accommodation of at least
two hundred students, and also an increased
number of Professors The Board confidently
.t- expect that the institution will eventually be
made in some degree, selfsupPorting. The
College is located at Lansing, country
comparatively, and the College Farm most
of it forest when the institution com-
menced two years ago. 1t is an ornament and
blessing to Michigan.
Ohio should no longer be behind Michigan in
fostering and elevating the employments and
profession of the Farmer The Agricultural
is the leading interest of our State, and every
,.1 dollar appropriated to advance it will prove
seed sown on good ground. At or tive re-
cent sessions of the General Assembly bills to
establish State Agricultural College have not
been favoTably acted on, but we are glad TO see
that the friends of such an institution are still
in the field Mr.. Raymond, of Lucas, has in
troduced bill to establish Agricultural Col
Iege, and it is now in the hands of the House
eI7 Committee on Agriculture. A favorable re-
port may be anticipated, and we trust the Cen
eral Assembly will concur, though past action
of the Legislature does not augur favOrably.

One Way TO strensthen the south.

The political power Of the South is so fast
Welding 10 the force of numbers in the North
and West. that her politicians are constantly
casting about for some means Of keeping up the
equilibrium. The acquisition of more slave ter
ritory or of territory that can be made slave, is
the end and aim of the Democratic policy of the
South, and failing in this the Democratic enc
mics of the Union, the extremists of the South,
are in favor of seeding and establishing Slave
Southern confederacy. This supposed remedy
is advocated by Democratic demagogues, but 1t
meets with very little favor from old line South
ern Wings They are Union men, and have no
sympathy with JEFF. Davis, Iyerson, Brown,
Keitt, aud other leading secessionists. Nor
have the masses of the South, and but for the
agitation of the slavery question by the class
above named, disuDion would soon become OBJ
solete
1t is now generally conceded by the South that
Slave States cannot be carved out of the present
territory belonging to the government, and we
find thstin Tennessee project is on foot to give
the South additional strength in the councils of
the nation, by the formation of a new State out
of West Tennessee and West Kentucky. 1t is
proposed to include some eighteen counties of
West Tennessee lying west of tine Tennessee
river, and six large counties in West Kentucky
in the new State, which would give q greater
extent of domain than six of the old States OF
the Union, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Con-
necticut, Vermont, New Jersey, and Delaware.
In population of some of the States named
have decided advantage over the proposed new
one, but in face of country, fertility Of SOIL and
productions, they are far behind. The whole
country of the suggested new State is level
well watered, interspersed with prairie and tim
Der, and the soil is admirably adapted to the cul
ture of grain, grass, cotton and tobacco. The
climate is mild and saluhrious. But for Slave
ry, which blights and blackens the great valley
below the Ohio, it would soon become thrifty
and densely populated, and as a new Statt
would take high rank in the confederacy. AnG
yet, with its present curse of Slave labor ani
Slave institutions, half dozen new States vii
grow up beyond the Mississippi and knock fol
admission before West Tennessee and Wes
Kentucky, on the east of that noble river, will
exhibit She energy and progress necessary tt
put on and wear the robe of State sovereignty
The white population of the proposed new
State, instead ofincreasipg. is steadily decreas
ing, under that law of emigration which resist
lessly sets ride of non-slaveholders from th,
Slave to the Free States and Territories.
