PAvMorIo-We clip this gallant squib
from the Grand Rapids Eagle:
"MoNEY, MONEY WANrED.-Now that
the ladies have got possession of Mount
Vernon, they begin TO cry for more funds.
They say that il will cost from $4,000 to
$4,000 TO keep the place in repair and
support keepers; so they want to raise a
permanent fund of $4,000. Like the
Washington Monument, this estate is
likely TO be used only TO support life of
the "suckers" that lead sort of fossil
life in "the District"
How much did the editor Of the Grand
Rapids Eagle give toward the "pur-
chase 9"--or rather, that we be not too
personal, how much did the great city Of
Grand Rapids with its 10000 inhabitants
give to the ladies for the purchase Of
Mount Vermont Look up the figures,
TURNER, and then settle il in your own
mind whether the squeaking of your
Eagle about the "suckers" is in very
good taste. If that is the music of your
@bird" it has wonderfully degenerated
from the old stock.

r THE VAULT FOR COUNTY RECORDS
We perccive that the vault for the safe
keeping of the County Records, is nearly
completed. Mr.. LAzELLE has pushed the
work forward with all possible dispatch
II is spacious, and we see no good reason
why il is not admirably adopted to the
purpose for which it was designed. At
least our citizens will feel sense of Sc
curity, that they have hitherto by no
means enjoyed, relative to our public rec
ords, which have hitherto been ut the
mercy of any one of thousand incidents
that might at any hour have consigned
them to oblivion.
We are informed that the expense Of
constructing the vault properly, and in
manner that will afford the greatest securi-
ty, will be somewhat greater than at first
anticipated, or for which provision was
made by the board of Supervisors, mas
much ms il was found necessary 10 make
the walls thicker than specified in the
original plan, requiring several thousand
more brick and additional labor; but We
opino the increased expenditure will be
promptly met by liberal minded Board
Of Supervisors.

Books as Premiums.


Our issue of last week contained the
list Of awards TO be rendered at the forth
coming Fair of the Otinwn Go. Ag. 3d.
ciety, to take place some time in Septem.
Der next. A new feature will be noticed
in the award of premiums, and that is
the variety of Books pertaining to Agri-
culture, Fruit growing, &c, that enter
into the list instead of payments in mon
ey, when small sums only are to be Civ
en-. We look upon this arrangement
adopted by the executive committee of
the society, rs an admirable one, mas
much as it will have direct and happy
tendency TO introduce TO the attention Of
agricullurists and others interested, much
valuable knowledge pertaining to their oc-
equations that might otherwise be lost
The idea that "Book knowledge" on the
subject of farming, gardening and fruit
growing, as derived from tho experience
and personal observation of the most Gel
ebrated Agriculturists and Horticulturists
Of our county, is valueless and unworthy
of notice, is erroneous 10 the highest de-
gree; and hence, so afford increased light
and knowledge on these important SUBJ
jects by the introduction of standard and
approved works on matters connected with
the field, garden, orchard and stock rails
ing, in community is the object Of the ex-
ecutiye board, and we feel confident this
change In the nature of premiums TO he
awarded, will meet the unqualified ap-
probation of our citizens generally.
We notice among the books to be
awarded Coles Fruit Book, The Western
Fruit Book, and other works treating Of
the pear, grape, &c., alone, which to the
fruit grower are worth their weight in gold,
and are known as the very best works on
those topics cxtant, while others, treating
of the disease Of horses, cattle, sheep,
swine, DC, are no less commendable. A
careful perusal of these works will be Of
infinite value TO those whom they are in,
tended TO benefit.
