Ever after this memorable day, poor
bread, dingy pastry, and sulphurous bis
cult were unknown in this family, but the

CIRCUIT CouRr.-Agreeably TO the
announcement of last weeks issue the
Circuit Court for the County of Ottawa
commenced its sessions here yesterday,
His Honor, Judge LrrTLEJoHN, with his
well known promptness and ability prcsi-
ding. Several important criminal cases
will probably occupy a considerable por-
ton of the allotted time of the term.
The Lamont burglars, perhaps in point Of
public interest, will stand the most prom
inent before the bar. Whether there
are many civil cases docketed we are not
advised. The usual legal talent-both
extensive and honorable-from the City
Of Grand Rapids are in attendance.

Ey- II is said that there is no better
way of securing woman's friendship
than by praising her children, but we think
it may be obtained by nobler and more
honorable means. Mothers are not found
wanting in gratitude to those who do
them service; hence the blessings they
have pronounced upon the name of Mrs.
Winslow, who has immortalized herself
by the discovery of her Soothing Syrup
for Children Teetbing, which not only re-
lieves the child from pain, but invigorates
the stomach and bowels, corrects acidity,
and gives tone and energy to the whole
system. 1t will almost instantly relieve
gripping in the bowels, and wind-cholic,
and overcome commissions, which, if not
speedily remedied, end in death.

PSNNANN
We ask attention to the following points Of
excellence in WEST WILSON'S Machine.
LIST. It's simplicity, and the directness with
which the power is communicated to the needles.
This is great desideratum andin this we claim
decided superiority over all other machines
Cd. The needle and needle bar are both
straight and the motion direct the needle bar
is attached TO n small wheel driven by a larger
one, instead Of to the long arm Of lever, as in
most machines, with power upon the short one
The latter arrangement necessarily makes tho
motion of the needle both circular and weak
while the former gives strength and directness.
3D.. The great power and directness of tho
motion enables us to sew all fabrics, from gauze
to four thickncsscs of leather, with almost equal
case, and the Machine can be made TO run,
without changing needle or thread through ali
the different thicknesses, from sheet of paper
to heavy leather, and back and forth without
dropping stitch or breaking n thread. We
know of no other family machine of equal ca
pacity.
4th. 1t uses silk, cotton or linen thread from
the original spools; unlike most machines, il
will permit the scam TO be turned at right an
giles at its highest speed; il has much more room
than any other family machine for passing goods
through, thus allowing TO pass freely the heavi-
est garments, bed-qults, &C., and it will turn up
readily upon hinges attached to the stand, tho
this is seldom necessary, as both tensions are
regulated from above.
9th. The Machine will do greater variety
of work than can be done by any other stitch.
IL will HEM, QUILT, GATHER, EMBROID-
Err and CORD, and will do neatly and rapid
ly every variety of sewing that can be done by
similar stitch upon the highest priced machine
No machine will make and put upon garments
the finishing cord as neatly as ours.
Send for circular containing full particulars
prices, testimonials, illustrations Of stitch, &C.
Machines warrantcdand full directions given,
for using, without charge.
Orders for machines and circulars will receive
prompt attention, by addressing

Agent for the counties of Ottawa Muskegon

some Others in contemplation. At pres

department, TO do the work.

MAPLE SUGAR.-A wei! informed res
ident of the township of Crockery, in
this county, lately informed us that the
sugar season, now nearly terminated, has
been extremely unfayorable. We regret
that such is the case. Heretofore Otta-
wa County, in the manufacture of sugar,
has derived a large share of good TO her
self. And especially now, in these times
Of pecuniary stringency and distress,
would an abundance of this article, man
ufactured at home, seem desirable. In
other parts of the State, however, we are
glad to notice in this regard more favora-
bic reports.

PEAcnEs.-It is reported, whether true
or not, that the severe frosts of the past
winter have very generally destroyed the
fruit buds of the peach trees in Ottawa

at this point or anywhere else along the
lake shore north or south of us.

Town MEETNe.-We hope to see
next Monday, at the ballot-box, proper de-
corum observed by all. On some former
occasions it has been painfully humiliating
to many of our citizens to witness the
shameful, disgusting conduct Of some of
those from whom we expected better
things. Earnest parlizan strife among
gentlemen is not Objectionable nor unlock
cd for; but when allowed to an extent,
which nothing in the history Of Bleeding
Kansas has furnished as a parallel, it be-
comes intolerable. Will our citizens
mark well the department of those who
have disgraccd themselves and their town
formerly.
