A merchant of this city, not given to
effcrvescence, tells us that A. j. Webster,
friend of the merchant, and a resident
of Menasha, of Wisconsin, gives the fol-
lowing statement:
The steamer La,cson, Capt. Clark, of
Menasha, reached McGregor railway
depot on Monday, with two barges, each
loaded with quantity of wagon and bar
rel timber, from Menasha and Appleton,
on the Fox River, Wisconsin. The barges
drew three feet of water. One hundred
tons of freight each was the introduction
of the Lawson to the Mississippi River.
The steamer Energy came down the Wis
consin last week with a large cargo of
similar freight. She made the round trip
to Clayton, az miles below and back to
Oshkosh, inside of two weeks.
Capt. Clark says there is no difficulty in
running light draught steamers on the
Wisconsin, but owing to the abrupt bends
and narrow channels, in some places, the
barge business gives much trouble. Con-
gress will consider the proposition to ap-
point 500, 900 for the Improvement of the
river if voted for and honestly arpro.
priated, Iowa as we'll as Wisconsin, will
reap immense advantages from its ex.
penditure. We are not an enthusiastic
ship-canalist, as is Governor Merrill, Geo.
Heyer, w. Gilchrist. and many other
gentlemen whom to know is an honor, but
we are sincere convert to system Of
improvement which will connect Lake
Michigan with the River by means Of
light draught boats. Our hopes Of seeing
the 500, 900 pass the present corrupt tnr-
iffite Congress arc not of very exciting
order. Too much New England duties
too much Pennsylvania iron, steel and
coal; too much land-grabbins for rail
way stockholders. already plethoric with
bonds, to hope for justice to western in.
interests.

came Disguised with the weather for some
months past and concluded to abandon the

Bohemian. Ill health, caused, he says, by
old age, induced him to sell. He went to
Maryland, but while the climate was good
the soil was worthless and he left the
Soath for Cobourg, Canada, in the vicinity
of which city he has purchased a nice
farm and is getting well fixed again. The
Professor promises US an occasional COM
