FLINT DIsTRIcT.-The prospects oil
the above section looks very fatteriug.
The shrill whistle of Greenwell 4 Co.'S
mill is now awakening its echoes in the
Canofis Of this promising young district.
f This mill has been constructed very rap
idly by competent mechanics, and is SAID
to work like charm. Blacks mill will
also be in operation before long We
are in hopes that the most sanguine ex-
pectations of the indefatigable Fliuttes
will be fully realized, and that coris of
bullion may be the result Of their praise

to take personal observations and VEN
tilate the Flint QUESTION fully in our next.

chance, before the first pen full of ink is

snow borne upon the bosom of the gale
that terrific outrider whose occupation it
is to herald the approach of his Maj sty,
The Storm King himself We then pro-
coed with as much patience as we can
command to indite stormy article, but
perhaps before we have half duzen
lines written, and scratched onr head
two or three times for another idea
burst of sunshine strikes us ard knocks
the whole thing into pr; verify the
verdict ola petir jury is not any more
onsartin than Owyhee weather IN winter.
