PUFFY.-Our acknowledgements arc
many, and hearty tits week, and first
Mr.. L. r. Maraall, the man who
caters so acceptably to the public apre.
tite of Newberry, will accept thanks for
his considerate and welltimed offerings
to our inner man. Marshall is whole
souled, capital fellow, and is continually
doing something to bring him before the
people through the Herald, and tickle
our fancy. His stock of goods is choice
one, and we take pleasure in calling the
attention, of those who may not be aware
of it, to the fact. Don't forget his fish
and oysters.
And then there's Mr.. A. Harris, down
town there is no end to the favors he
showers down on Us, first one thing and
then another. We imagine sometimes
that he has some design against >us, but
unless it be kind one, we are utterly at
fault. Long may Harris wave, and sell
cheap goods, and that we are certain he
will do, while ne appreciates printers aud
their ink SO highly. g..
And our old friend Mathew Albriton,
at his country store, what better can We
say Of him, than that he loves to honor
US. Last Saturday we called on him at
his rancho, and was surprised at the ex-
tensire stock display yed, and at the low
prices. Fancy our delight when We
went out loaded down UP to the shoul.
ders with his offerings. We recommend
Mathew to kindly consideration, and his
varied stock to particular attention.
Capt. P. S. of the Fork is remembered

a busy man is a locomotive, and life track.
Every night he drives into the house" and
stops. Every morning he is fred up anew, and
away he goes switching of in one direction and
then in another. In this routine of business he
forgets that the physical organization is octhe
most delicate kind. If hard iron locomotive
needs constant care, and to be well oiled up and

is it that all men and women should use PLAN

pleasure that our community is at last in

Intendant. and men who possess the con-
fidence of all. We have an assurance
now of peace and order. The first act
of the new council is the appointment of
Mr.. B. Blease, an honorable, energetic
citizen, as Marshal. This is an admira-
bic appointment, but hope that Mr.. B.
may not be left in so arduous a position
alone, but that a competent assistant
may be given him. This is the expressed
wish of number of citizens, and have
no doubt the wish will be echoed by
every citizen in the town, as all are in.
terested in the matter, merchants more
particularly, and if the resources Of coun-
Gil are not sufficient to pay the increased
expense, which would only be about fifty
dollars a month, I believe that every cit
izen will gladly contribute to, raise the
amount and thereby insure greater
protection and quiet.
l propose for that office, a good and
tried citizen, one who has given proof of
his zeal and activity already, namely,

Mr.. NJ. A. Canning. of Hastings. Mr.. C. has
been in this business for number of years.
and thinks he can get about as much work
out of an institution of lis kind as it is ca
pable Of doing. This mill furnishes employ.
E.ent for twenty three persons. The average
price of wages is 50. so per day. 1t has a
capacity of saving from 100 TO ITO thousand
feet of lumber. 100000 shingles and about So
600 lath per week. There are in all eight
saws. viz One large Rotary. capable Of cut.
ting from le to 20 thousand feet day; two
Lath saws which saw out about 5000 lath
and one Sbingle saw, which saws Oh an aver.

The lumber. as fast as manufactured is run
down track. and loaded upon barges or

es, and when loaded they are rum down TO
the Mississippi, and from there are towed to
the yard at Hastings. Thes barges are towed
about tour times week. a
This mill is furnished with logs from Still.
water. They are towed Down The st. Croix,
in RATS of from three TO four bundled thous-

thus able to keep up q reasonable supply at
