ARREST OF CoUSTERFErrERs. = The
Detective Police have arrested and i'm
prisoned at Buffalo, N. Y. ono Andrews
and his associates, whom they caught
in the act of making a counterfeit of
Ayers Cathartic Pills. Their detection
was accomplished at the instance of
Messrs. ) Q. Aver & Co., of Lowell,
Mass, who have shown a commendable
energy aud promptitude in protecting
the public from imposition through spu.
rious limitations of their invaluable med
icines.
Doct. Ayers Sarsaprilla, Cherry Pee
toral and Pills have come to be staple
necessities with the community, and the
imposition upon the sick of spurious,
worthless, if not injurious fabrications
of them is in fact the contamination OF
villainy. We hope the scoundrels will
get their due, and in the keeping they
now are they are pretty sure OF it.--Po-

Aome Matters.

Local PArER-We publish paper
this week devoted almost exclusively to
local matters, and only regre; that time
and space will not permit US to notice
more at length many of the other busi.
ness interests of this Valley. Of lum'
Der, which is the staple, We shall have
more to say hereafter. The shingle
trade, also, which has come to be an
immense traffic, and which has felt but
slightly the general pressure during the
past season, will receive our attention
as well as other matters of seeming
minor importance, but which go t.
make up the immense and rapidly in
creasing business Of this section.
Extra copies of this paper, put up in
wrappers, for sale at our office.

THE SLAVE BUsINEss.-The pu rchase
aud shipment of Slaves forms an item
Of no small consequence in the business
of the Saginaw Valley. The oak timber
here is of the very best quality. We
have the authority of Mr.. II. Shaw, who
has dealt in slaves for the last rs years,
for saying that it is in fact the best tim.
Der which finds its way to market in the
form Of slaves from any quarter of the
country, and slaves from here are unu.
sually well made and free from defects.
The business was inaugurated here in
ls49, by the purchase of about zoe, 900
slaves of all varieties. 1t has increased
steadily, until the yearly shipments now
amount to full 1000, 900. Stringency
in tho money market has not affected
the trade, and there is sufficient timber
to warrant supply of 100000 per
year for twenty years. The prices now
paid are per NJ. $50 for Butt Slaves
in which there is little doing at present.

Sal, pusiness---An Estimate.

At a moderate calculation, and one
which comes far within the limit of what
present and projected operations will
warrant, 40 salt blocks Of Societies each
will be in operation on the Saginaw
river by the LIST of July next Directly
and indirectly each block requires the
labor of 8 men-boilers, packers, wood
choppers, otc.-thus giving employment
to 720 laborers. At low estimate each
block will consume 6 cords of wood per
day, making $40 cords, which, at sc
cords of wood per acre-allowing ten
cords to be used for stave and other
timber,-will clear acres of land daily,
or 2. 900 asEe.s each yearA., AT 40 barrels
of salt per block, the daily manufacture
will be 900 barrels; weekly, do. H.
200; yearly, do. $50, 400 barrels, for
which the barrels alone will cost $685.
1880; wood at 81 so per cord, $751;.
10000. The amount of wages, the
number who at this estimate would de-
rive their support from the business, the
freight, storage, commission and other
matters which necessarily follow from
its transaction, we leave for cur readers
to figure, and when it is understood
that this is no fancy sketch; that IN re
gard to the extent Of the business, the
price of wood, barrels, amount required,
etc, we have put everything down to
the lowest figure, they will not be sur
prised that we indulge occasionally II
salferous calculations.

STILL ANOTHER CANDIDATE FOR U. >.
SrNAToR.-Judge Birney's competitor
in Saginaw City has, We understand,
put himself on the course for the va
cant U. s. Senatorship from this State.
He will, without doubt, carry the con-
servative wing of the Republican party,
being emiuchtly conservative in his pc
litical views, and quite as ''solid" if not
as snowy a man as the Judge. We
learn that he is now engaged in writing
a letter to his old schoolmate, Governor
P,ckens, Of South Carolina, which will
fret appear in the YOlksblat publlshedir
Detroit. 1t will doubtless be COPIED
extensively into all papers published II
the English language in this and other
States. The Saginaw City man, having
dried up on the lumber business for ih'
coming winter, will, it is said, through
his friends challenge the Judge to
canvass of the State for the purpose o
giving the people generally a better ide;
of their respective merits. He wa
born in York State" educated il
Michigan, or.e prosecuted lawsuit Us
some Single stea!ers, and attended Bar
NUNS celebrated Baby Show, which h'
deems an ample Offset against the claims
of the Judge on the score of being
Kentucky born and educated, attending
a lawsuit in Frankfort, and "Guber

How 1T BENEFITS THE PEoPLE.--The
East Saginaw Salt Mfg. Co. have paid
out along the line of the Flint s. Pere
Marquette Railway, this season, over
three thousand dollars for the one arti.
Gle of wood, and in many instances the
money has gone to parties to whom, in
these pressing times, it was almost a
las. resort. Even in this little circum
stance is seen an inkling of the immense
benefits which must flow to all classes
of people from the full development OF
this most providential resource.
