How IT WoRKs.-The famous river
steamer Olive Branch, that has for many
long weary month been cruising, solita-
ry and alone along the bayou, between this
and Ferrysburg, " seeking rest but finding
none," was short time ago sold for debt,
under the Sheriff's hammer, for seventy
fee dollarsi 10 GALEN EASTMAN Esq
The balance of her indebtedness, amount
ing to about $4,000, is assessed to the
stockholders, who are being invited to
"walk up to the Captains office and set
tie" the samoan invitation that has
been extended several times heretofore du-
ring the existence of that craft to the ut
ter humiliation of the idea Of profitable
speculation, at the present day, in stocks
appertaining TO steamboats, in general, and
to the Olive Branch in particular.

The Come, that new modelled Tug,
owned by NoAH H. FERRY, Esq, the hull
Of which was built by Messrs. LrroHFIELD
d. Co., of Blendon, in this county, has re-
ceived her upper works, machinery, &C.,
and is now nearly ready for service. She
IS destined to make commotion in the
waters at White Lake. She proceeds
thither this week.
Mr.. L. d Co. are now engaged in con-
structing a first class schooner for the lake
trade, at the instance of Messrs. FERRY
d. Son. The great pains taken by them
to set afoat vessels of the most approved
models and Of the staunchest construction

The frost of the 10th inst. has proved
very destructive TO the fruit in embryo.
Throughout our county, a little distance
from the river and lake, peaches, cherries,
plums, currants, DC, have suffered great
ly, and in some localities are entirely cut
off.
AT this place, Mill Point and Ferrys-
burg, all kinds of fruit give abundant
promise of rich harvest-conclusive ev-
idence that the waters of the lake and
river exert very modifying influence on
the temperature of the atmosphere and
fit the entire region contiguous thereto, in
an admirable degree, to fruit growing OIL
all kinds indigenous TO the latitude.

which good housewives should be so eau

are not always particular about the quail

it does not cost you much to begin with,
it may be dear in the end, as impure Sal

poisonous influence among the honest people
