Board of Supervisors, at their late session,
Lease was granted WILLIAM NJ. FERRY,

peds, quadrupeds and Indians from Grand

men TO make use of steam as the motive
power.

INsoN TO establish and maintain a Ferry
from a point near his residence, in the
town of Robinson, short distance below
Ottawa Center, to one opposite thereto

OTTAWA County I've answer yes, most
assuredly: by building up Grand Haven,

ducing settlers to the fine farming lands

rich soils but await the tillage of the en-
terprising farmer to pour into our markets
an abundant supply of every kind of grain

Is LAGER INTOXICATING ?--We cannot
answer this question from personal en-
perience, but from observation we should
say, it is, slightly so. And we are very
glad to have it in our power to append
our names to a petition to the Legislature

stimulants Of kindred nature, rank
among the Intoxicating. We protest
strongly, and uuyieldingly against this
method of lashing our great adversary
round a stump. Let the vigorous blows
fall directly upon the naked hide if you
wish to drive him from your presence.

The dispute between the BisAl Nd the
Free Masons Of Buenos Ayres was still in pro

cipal subject Of public attention. The Com

been chiefly c%oninc1 to the papers, and thus
no serious consequences have ensued; but OH
the occasion of the Inauguration of the Pauper
Asylum, on the 18th of October, the usual &c
clesiastical benediction was refused, although il
is manifestly an Institution of great public
utility, OH account of the idea having been
originated by Masons, and committee Of man
agement being composed Of members az this
society.
