Judge c., a member of one OF out
best families, and himself occupying a
high position at the bar as we'll as social
ly, WAS going up the river last fall on a
slow steamboat, aud Of course entered
into al the familiar companionship
common to travellers thrown togeth-

was ole man aboard who, learning
the Judges name, announced that it was
the same as his own, and instantly claim

differently, but with perfect good-nature
answered the innumerable genealogical
inquiries propounded to him, while at
each reply the bore would exclaim--
"Why, sir, we're kin, as sure as I'm
aliver' .-.
At length this fellow became unendu-
rable with bis pertinacity and question:

2 THE Coon TINE CoME.-Great activ-
ity at the present time prevails in the
forests and mills in this portion Of The
Grand River Valley. The construction
Of the pier at the mouth of the river by
the D. d NJ. Railway Company has given
a fresh impetus to business. Men and
teams are in great demand for getting in
readiness and hauling TO the rivers edge
logs for plank, piles, poles, brush, &C., to
be used in the great work of pier making,
on the delivery of which the cash is i'm
mediately forthcoming, and thus thou
sands of dollars are weekly set afoat in
the numbering communities, of which the
farmer and mechanic will receive share
as the labor of the farmer is brought into
immediate requisition and supplies need
ed of the latter. And in view that $780,
600 are thus to be expended within few
months in liberal remuneration for labor
and material, every one must be con-
strained to admit that the good time has
come, particularly so when it is consider
ed we are now in the midst of one Of the
most bountilul wheat harvests that eyel
blessed Western Michigan, and most o
our farmers will have a surplus for mar
ket, for which they will receive a gooC
living price on delivery; and besides, al
crops growing are exceedingly promising
Let us then enjoy the good time come
though it has been a long time in arriy
ing.

THE P1ER.-We recently paid a visit
to the pier in course Of construction at the
mouth. Of the river. The work is pro-
crossing finely. Two pile drivers are con-
stantly engaged in hammcring down the
long piles, and brush and stone are being
placed in position 10 afford safe and
easy channel for steamers and vessels
In the construction of this pier the D. d
NJ. Railway Company are doing work
that will not only result vastly for their
benefit, but will be of incalculablc advan-
tage to our harbor, which is acknowledged,
by all sea-going men, 10 be one Of the
best, most commodious and safest for yes
sells during foul weather, that can be found
on either shore Of Lake Michigan; but
the bar at the mouth Of the river has
at times presented a serious obstacle to
its entrance; that once ofectually remov-
ed by a good pier, many vessels and lives
may be saved during severe gales and
storms under cover of the immense hills,
that rear their peaks high in heaven on
either side. We feel confident our citi-
Gems will duly appreciate the great and
permenant good that will result to us
from this great work.
