WHARF.-The good depth Of SNOW yye have
had the past winter has been favorable to
wheat. A ride out into the country a few days
ago revealed to our view several pieces Of this
cere1 from which the SHOW lad melted, and
in each piece thus opened we noticed the full
however, upon the weather for month or So,
after which the greatest fear will be that Of in
Gects.-P5ntidc Jdc&soni1a, 1h.
GRAND HAVEN NHARBoR~-Immense quanti-
tics Of ice have 1oated down from above during
the last few days, and ut times seriously in
periled the shipping in the harbor. Capt.
Whites steam ferry boat broke loose on SatuE-
day, but vas speedily secnred., On Sunday al
teTnoon, however, about ) or 6 O'Clock, i large
cake struck and sunk it. The tngine was got
cut, and the boat will probably bo repaired in
L week or two. Several small boats have been
dnmaged, and one sunk; but by the cxertion
of men on the docks no serious loss has been
incurred d.-Grand Hdue' Clarion, AaTch5.
MAPLE suGAR-The appearance of the
weather now indicates that the maple sugar
season will be good one.--Ales Republican,
lfdrch g.
LuMBERISG.- late thew, preceded by
three months Of excellent sleishing, has eE-
allied the lulnbernen Oh Pine River in our
county to put in the river nearly 10000, 900
Feet nf lumber. Last season it will be re1nem-
bcred =, ,G00, 600 feet were cut, and run to Sag
inaW from this county alone. The Increase in
the amount will evince the effects Of a good
season for agriculture, and give some evidence
Of the amount Of wealth underc1oped in our
eounty.-Gratiot (dftcA-) Aems
SORGHUM MoLAssEs.-From Mr.. Arista1cus
Cone, asscssor OF Cedar township, in this
county, we learn that the amount Of mo1asses
manufactured from sorghum in that township,
last year, WAS 2, $50 gallons. This is M impor-
iant fact, and demonstrates that our home
made sorghum mola: ses is superseding, to a
1arge extent, the use Of Southern molasses.
We are glad Of it, and see no good reason, if q
process Of manufacture by which it eau be
made equally as good as imported molasses is
generally understood, why should it not alto
{5ether supplant the more expensive article
which we have to look to our Southern breth-
ren for.-MMscatine Journal.
4 SINGULAR Casa young girl-a

Hero is q brief but accurate history Of
Hon, Andrew johnson, whose noble stand for
the Union as it is, has commanded the admir-
tion Of every true American. It-is from the
New York Tribune:
Mr. Johnson's history has been striking
and eyentfu1 one. Left IN orphan at an early
nge, without property and without friends; he
was bound apprentice to tailor, whom he
served for seven years. He never attended
school day in lis life, and painfully taught
himself to read by perseyering efforts after his
daily labor upon fbe shop-board. At the age
of twenty he married, and his wife taught him
to write and cypher. Within two years he was
chosen h1ayor Of Grcenyille, where he had set
tied after removing from his -nati7e State Of
North Carolina, and tirc years later he was
elected to the Legislature. In 1643, at the age
| Of 81, he Was sent to Congress, where be re-
| manned ten years, when he was elected Goyer-
nor Of Tennessee; and after filing the Office
for two years. he was chosen Senator OF tho
United States In 1857. The high personal
qualities which have raised Mi: johnson, in
| the face Of such disadvantages, from the posi-.
| ton Of journeyman tailtr to that Of United
States Senator, were strikingly shown In the
recent session of the Senate, where his bril-
liant and overwhelming replies to Cen Lane
commanded universal admiration, while his
manly end energetic defence Of the. Union
gave him claim to the gratitude and esteem
| Of the free States which can never be forgot

4 Curious Fugitive SIave Case in Phil
delnt.1n.
ao1r.

On Monday evening citizens in the vicinity
of Third and South Streets we're alarmed By
hearing loud noises in the yards at the rear Of
their dwellings. They discovered two men
scaIing fences and otherwise demeaning
themselves in a very eTratic and ine8plicabIe
manner. A gentleman Of that district who
had been thus awakened from sound sleep
into visions Of burglary and murder, seized
musket and drew sight upon the intTuders.
The latter called utthat they were not thieves
but United States marshals on the track Of
certain English houscbreakers. The nanske-
tecr thereupon descended to the yard and was
made acquainted with the following facts.. a
confidential female servant in the family Of
gentleman Of Washington, D. G., recently es-
capped from her owners. and Has received into
the family Of certain High Constable Of this
city. The Toman WAS said to be nearly white,
Of some personal attfactiyeness, and inte}li.
gent beyond her race. She dWelt with the
High Constable as aforesaid until Monday, at
noon, when neighbor, oguizal that she had
been slave, appeared at the house to warn
her that the marshals were upon her track.
She was forthwith removed to Third and South
streets, and afterwards to 4 remote part Of the
State. The marsha1s had assumed the recap
ture Of this womnn as the cTowning exploit Of
their term Of administration. Having traced
her to Third and South streets, they imagined
no difficulty III the labor Of night, but extraor-
dinary vigilance upon the part ofthe slaie frus-
trated any attempt upon her freedom.

Mr.. Vim. Williams, Of this city, an old sol
der who ha, served his country faithfully
through TIVE wars, has invented new article
Of warfare which he styles the "The Missouri
Breechloading Rifle Cannon Of all Calibre." "
This is an Improvement on all kinds Of cannon
in this or any other country, equal to the Arm.
strong or WitWorth gun, Il not better, and
will throw tive shot or 5hells to thelr a one :.,
This gun will not. recoil, great fault with
guns now in use. They can be used for the
The navy, gun boats, garrison or artillery guns,
as they arr quite different from all others no"
used. They will throw shot or shell per
minute for twelve hours and upwards If re-
qu1rcd, and will be as cool st the close as at
the commencement They clean themselves
Mt every fire, and will do more execution than
any other gun. The shot will strike any ship,
b 3at or craft at the distance of three miles.
:. Field pieces can be made single of all sizes
on the same principle, or four Of these guns
can be formed into one block on carriage,
forming four gun battery, each gun number
these guns be damaged by accident or other
wise, il may be replaced by another Of the
SINE number.
THESE blocks can be formed into flying bat
terics, Of four guns each Of the largest calibre,
gu revolving metallic platform carriages, 20
that one block forms Il four gun battery, two
blocks eight, three blocks twelve, up to five
hundred, if required. They can be taken to q
hill, from a hill to mountain, and be erected
into batteries when required; these batteries
can be formed into divisions, sections, &c.,
and be removed to other places.
The inventor says he could erect two re-
volving metallic six block batteries, which
would form tWenfy-four guns each, one on
the Highlands and the other opposite on Long
Island ut the entrance Of New York harbor, or
any other port along the coast, that would de-
stroy any fleet that might attempt to make a
landing.
These four gun blocks can bo used in every
garrison In the United States where one gun
is used in port One block could be used
in the same, with the same complement Of
men which is now used with one.-'1. Louis

General Leslie Combs writes to his son in
Missouri: =:
"Mr, Clay the Immortal Harry Of the
West as be was sometimes called, gnye me
notice Of the coming danger more than a
quarter Of a century aso. South Carollna-
the leading tory State in our Revolutionary
War-was ripe for dissolution in 1928, but
General Jackson's energy and Mr. Clay's
humane wisdom postponed the stornl-now
bursting over our heads. So, after the adop-
tion Of the compromise measures OF l850,
sustained by Clay and Webster Of the Wing
party, and Cass and Douglas Of the Democratic
party, South Carolina tried to fire the - South
ern hearts, and in Mr. Yancey's significant
language, tprscipltats' the Gulf States into
revolution. .You will remark that he does
not Fay hasten, which means to expedite Or
for then they might pause, and stop and turn
back, when reason took the place Of passion
but to *precipitate' them, make them at once
leap over the perpendicular cliff Of rebellion
into the burning gulf Of revolution, from
which he hoped they could never leap up
again to the broad level plain Of liberty and
equality in the Union. With this view, and
for this purpose, they are ROW pressing mat
tcFs In the South to the shedding Of blood,
supposing that ia this way they can even draw
OFT old KeDtucky-thc birthplace Of soldiers
and patriots-from her firm attachment TO the
Union, which was formed by Washington and
his associates, and drag her at the tail ofinso-
lent South Caroliua. :: + May God in
Lis infinite mercy avert these dire calamitice-
My 500, do your duty, and never disgrace
your naive State, come what may.
Yours truly, LESLIE COMBS.

"D1uE's LASD."-This lively tune, to the
music Of which Republicans marched to ricto-
ry, has become as popular in our city as the
most rayishlng heirs Of my Of the operatic

wonderful, magical Even those whose souls
are so dead as to have no love Tor music, can
not refrain from an expression Of pleasure as

while those who always love anything lively
and sweet, fairly leap with joy whenever and
wherever they hear it. "Dixie" has bacome
