MATTERS AT GRAND RAPIDS.

En-. JouRNAL; Matters aul thing remain
statue quo. Weather continues fair and the
farmers are busy taking care of their hay,
which by the way is n heavy crop. The wet
weather spoiled most OF the clover, but timothy
hay will be good,
Wc discovered the other doy, os we drove up
to the Grand Rapids Hotel" that City Mar
slml McDorGAL wds mnving in, aud Mr.. Ev-
EaErr, out. Don't know whe.her Marshal
MCUouGAL eau keep hotel or not, II he
dues no b, tier than he dies in keeping the hogs,
geese aud horses out the streets, It wlll be poor
w kept. However, Mac. has not got the hon
orablc council tn dictate to him what he shall
or shall not do, in running the hotel, aud he
will probably run thugs .to suit himself. Mt
much use in having marshal or corporation
il the council set aside NIL ordinances and Stat o
laws rela ting o. animlls running M large in the
streets. Perhaps after few mnrG gardens are
broken into of nights, thc Council may OrdCral
the COW a shut up from o'clock in the evsuiug
until O'Clock IN the morning.
We noticed last week letter in The Bddc
from some one at Weston IN which he snys the
population nf that village is stecn hundred. II,
he had examined the eurolment of tho Clerk Of
the school district last Fall, he would perhaps
not have set the figures quite s0 high, Wvs.
TIN Us nice nnurlshing village and has q good
deal of enterprise amongst its inhabitants, but
1.-THE will put the population at about four hun
dred, he will be nearer the correct figures.
New wheat Is comiug into our market and
opens at gnhd prices for good clean whoat.
! pRArr 4 HISspALE are going tO buy all they
can and the bmi lmliiunla Is getting In order
10 carry II to Tulelo. They expect To buy a
largo amauut. kFRR X Go. also intend bnving,
aud both firms having large warehouses and cl-
cvatOrs they will no doubt handle good deal
nrwhcat Freight by canal Being cheaper than
by railroad and moro speedy, they can pny
from = to = cents per bu4hel mire than ut rail-
road stations, II may be q little singular that
tho canal is 'nore sPe@iy than the rmlrmd bnt
/ il il ract. A boat eau load 2,000 bushels ol
Z wheat ~ an lmur, leave here at \ o'clock m the
/ evening, aud have the wheat elevated In q
warehouse in Toledo ready to 30 on board Of q
vessel by o o'clock the next morning Tu
transport the same by railroad would require
six cars, and YOU cannot always GET them
WHEN yuu want them, and during the wheat sea.
! SON u car may have to wait two or three davs
before il can get n the elevators aud we hav,
known wheat ts bc i've days on the side track
| which makes blg difference sometimes in priee
The : GraNd Rapids Mills" will bag lalR,
amount, tO flour, having put in u merchant bol
and olerhauled the machncry for that purpose
and as all these parties here have the cash u
pay fur what they bu.', expect 10 see livel,
times soon, =
