OUR NUMBERING INTEREST.

We have taken some little pains to in
quirc relative to the prospects Of the lum-
bering interest, for the ensuing season, in
different portions of our county, and what
is now being done in the lumber woods.
The following is the result of our mqui-
ries in this portion of it, particularly:
Messrs. FERRY & Son arc doing some
thing in the way of getting in logs, tho
not so much as in some previous winters.
EDWARD ROBINSON, of Robinson town
ship, has contract for getting in large
quantity of logs for Messrs. FERRY g.
Son, employing some eight on ten teams,
and banking them near his residence. lie
is doing lively business GEORGE G.
LOWELL, Esq, of Mill Point, who has a
lease of one of the mills owned by Hop
KINs d. BRoTHERs ut that place, is doing
n good business. HUNTER SAvIDGE, OF
the latter place, VIC believe is also busily
engaged in the work Of supplying his mill
with logs for the coming season.
Col. NORTON, is doing nothing, as we
are informed, in the way of logging. The
Col. has one of the best mills on Grand
River, and run it mostly the last season
in the manufacture of lumber on contracts
for others.
Messrs. BECKER, Spoon d THOMPSON,
proprietors of tho mill near the mouth Of
Crockery, We understand made contract
last fall, with Mr.. GRIswoLD, of Ottawa
Center, for the delivery on the bank Of
Grand River, nearly opposite their mill, a
large quantity of logs-but as to the pre-.
else amount that will be delivered we are
not Informed. But Mr.. THOMPSON, one
of the proprietors, is numbering largely on
lands by him owned in the township Of
Raycnna, banking them on Crockery
Creek, to be RATED to the mill aforesaid
for manufacture into lumber. Some ten
teams arc busily engaged in hauling tc
the banking ground, distance of from
one fourth TO one half mile, at present
aud it is estimated that three million Of
feet will be thus secured for manufacture
during Che present season.
JEREMIAH McMANN, of Crockofy, has
a contract for supplying SIDNEY LAW.
RENEE, Esq who owns mill propelled
by water power on the creek, with fouI
hundred and fifty thousand feet of pine
logs, and is doing up the business finely
at present. Besides this, Mr.. LAwRNcE
has teams Of his own, busily engaged in
hauling ok logs to his mill to be manu-
featured into plank, for home or western
market. 81.
az Oitawa Center, nothing is doing in
the way of supplying the mill formerly
owned by BEEJ. SMITH, Esq, at that
4 place. But VIC arc informed that the
LEoqAT Brothers, of our village, the pres
ont lessees of the mill, have entered into
contract with JOHN CLAEoEY, Esq, o.

On motion, thefollowing preamble and
resolution was adopted; r a. t.l
Whereas, IL has come.to the knowl-
edge of this Board that the present State
Treasurer has, during the past year, been
in the practice of deposting the public
moneys without such security as is pro-
vided by law, and has thereby in our opin-
ION not only violated the law, but greatly
endangered the safe keeping of the public
funds, and seriously prejudiced the inter
ests of the State; therefore,
BE IL Resotoed, That the practice Of
the State Treasurer, rs set forth in the
foregoing preamble, does not meet with
our appreciation; and that the Chairman
of this Board is hereby instructed to com

SUPPOSED Loss OF THE AMERICAN
SHIP ST.. PATRICK AND ALL ON BOARD.
Intelligence has been received
which leaves but little doubt but
that the American liner st. Patrick,
which left New Orleans in the ear
ly part Of December for Liverpool,
aud after having been at sea about
three weeks after leaving port. AS
nothing has been heard of her crew,
it is feared they have either shared
the fate of the ship or met with a
watery grave when endeavoring to
escape in the boats. The st. Pat
rick was fine ship of 500 to 900
tons, and had cargo of 1880 bales
of cotton. She bad on board crew
of twenty-five souls. What leads
to this belief is the fact that two
vessels which have arrived from
New Orleans at European ports
have passed within short time OF
each other large ship on fire, with
no traces of any name, and no liv'
ing persons on board or boats in
the Wilmer q. Smiths En-
ropean Times.

ApJopRNEp.-On Wednesday, the
sixth Judicial District Court, IN
and for the Parish of East Baton
Rouge, adjourned, after disposing
of one hundred and thirteen cases.
The prompt business manner OF
judge Avery; his scholarly attain
ments, and experience in his pro-
fession, eminently qualify him for
the responsible position he occu-
pies. than which there is none more
trying and difficult to fill. There
is but one opinion at the bar, and
among the people, aud that the
most favorable to the Judge. The
regret is general that contingent
cy may arise, to call him to anoth-
er part of the State, and cause him
to resign his seat on the bench.
During the session of Court just
ended, we acknowledge our indebted
ness to all the officers of the same,
for courtcsies ; particularly to our
friends Joseph Nephler Esq, Clerk
and w. Nash Young. Through their
voluntary kindness, we have been
enabled to present each days de-
cisions of the court during the term.
Not in payment, or as reward for
this service, but as a simple act OF
justice, and patent fact, do we
say it; that the valuable papers
and records of which Mr.. Nephler
els custodian, were never more or.
Derby arranged and carefully filed
than now. He takes that pride in
his office which makes the labor
