Crops IN MIcHrGAN.-The Detroit
Tribune, of the 9th. publishes reports
from special correspondents in all parts
of the state Of the present condition of the
crops. Its facts may be summarized as
follows: Wheat gives poor promise, the
estimate of many being that there will
not be more than half crop. In many
districts it has been badly winter killed,
especially in exposed locatIons-it stands
thin upon the ground, while the growth
of straw is very light, the heads being,
in some instances mentioned, not more
than from eight to twelve inches from the
ground. The dry weather also greatly
il iured the spring crops, especially grass
Early in the season MI promised well, but
the drought has been severely felt, and
there will undoubtedly be a short crop of
of several, if not all the caief spring
staples. Small fruit will also Weld but
poorly. unless n 5ountiful rain shall speed
iiy set in. But apples, peaches. &C.,
promise well as yet. A heavy rain fell
on Wednesday night, and the prospect
for fair crops is thereby much improved

Falls. He expects to finish that town
and Martell by the 4th of July, whcreup-
on Prescott will receive his personal at
tention. Clifton, he informs US has q
population of 6l2.
Mr.. Dickinson experiences much in-
convenience and delay in consequence of
beads Of families not being prepared to
answer readil y and nteligent'y the ques-
tions he is required to put to them. 1t
should be remembered that to take the
census of new region such rs is large
portion of Pierce county, is work re-
curing much time and labor. Not
unfrequently in visiting farm house he
finds. the proprietor off in some distant
field at work, while these about the house
are utterly unable to give the requiredi n
formation. 10 such cases the Marshal
in order to save further trouble is obliged
to seek the man in the field, thereby con-
Stunning valuable time. All this may be
avoided by the farmers leaving at the
house q statement in answer to the fol-
lowing interrogations: No. acres of
land improved and otherwise; value of
and value. Bushels Of grain Of all kinds ;
amount of broom corn. tobacco, wool,
peas, beans, potatoes, clover, and grass

THE ENTERPRISE.
8wEETwATER, THURSDAY, JUNE, 2, 1870.
Live for the Future and not the Past,

1t wOald be wisdom on the part Of the
Southern people to remember that they
are living for the future and not the past
To sit with folded arms amidst the wrecks
of future prosperity, may be a profitable
and enjoyable employment, but we must
doubt that any good will result therefrom.
Idle dreaming should give way to stern
reality, and every man should to the OK
tent of his ability grapple with the pres
ent, and mould by it the time which is
yet to come. "0ld things have passed
away, behold all things have become new"
We have buried our dead out Of sight, and
planted immOrteIles above their resting
places. We have mourned the downfall
of our hOpes-let us be comforted. The
difficulties and dangers which beset our
paths can be averted, or conquered By
energy and resolution.

Let energy be the presiding genius of the

be more extensively and moro thoroughly

We must live for the future and not for
the past, and in the omipg cyearu, content
will be familiar guest in every heart
and plenty will walk smiling about our
