$1,000.
STEAMER Zero now makes trips day

time at Duluth to connect with morning
and evening trains.
OUR mails are now carried with great
regularity by ferry boat Zero. Mails tor
the East and South leave here at P. M.
and arrive at 64 p. m

Dor Improvements next Wednesday, under
the Government contractors, Mess. Schultz
81 Ritchie.
STEAMER Cuyahoga came IN this morn
inc. crossing the bar with out the least diff
fcultv. She had on board q good deal of
freight for Messrs. r. G. Coburn, Y. Roy,
D. Schultz and others.
DIR. Graham from Geneva \. Y. arrived

THE State Board of Equalization com
posed of the members of the State Senate,
convened lately at Madison. They have
fixed the valuation for this county at $780,
o55. Ashland is rated at 100000, and
Bayfield, at s383,942.
WE are glad that Sam Fifeld will drive
the pen at Ashland. May have said some
thing like that before, but its all right il. we
have. Sam is good friend OF Superior,
and of Wisconsin alI-aong- shore, and he
can count us in on his side 0. the question.
Ashland will be a good field for the new
paper
TIE Duluth Tribune Of 25th inst. makes
light Of the "Scraper'' lately constructed
here, for the purposes Of the Government
operations at our entry. The machine was
built under the supervision Of Col. Houston,
and performs very handsomely as we learn;
and the Tribune in depreciating it talks
after it's own fashion-quite as recklessly
and inaccurately, as it does in decrying the
entry itself.
ANOTHER FIRE AT HUDsoN.-Two large
Grain warehouses were consumed at Hud-
son on the 21st inst. The whole loss IS es-
tilnated at sec, 200, partially insured. Only
two weeks ago, we extended our condo
lence to Hudson, on account OF terrible ca
lamities in this line; and still it has our
sympathy, for its more recent disaster.
And we sincerely hope there is yet 50 much
of that promising town left, that its people
will deem it worth preserving, and get
good steam fire engine, and watchmen If
necessary, as the Democrat advises.
SIMMONS, CLoUGu AND Co.'S OEGANs.-
We are impressed with all we read and
know of the Simmons and Clough Cabinet
Organ. Contrary to the practice OF many
other establishments, this firm have first
made reputation for their noble instru-
ments and then advertised them. 1t IS a
mystery to us outsiders what they are ad-
vertising for, as the demand for these or
gans now exceeds the supply. The great
demand for them in fact, has compelled
Messrs. Simmons and Clough to put up 4
new mandatory, at cost Of nearly $780,
OOO This building has been erected this
winter, on the corner Of Sixth and Congress
streets, Detroit, Michigan, and will be oc-
cupied May lst 1872, (next Wednesday,.
There are only three instruments of the
Cabinet Organ class in America that we
should feel justified in purchasing: these
are the Simmons and Clough, the Burdett,
and the Estey, and of the three we far pre-
fer the instrument made by Simmons and
Clough 1t can render all styles of music
from the thunders of church organ diapason,
to the strains of a fine military band, or the
exquisite tremor of fairy bells.
a = w HAT-lS-1T. -IurUlS Tue ldSt week
Mr.. Allen has been engaged in the construc-
ton of something which bore SO striking Z
resemblance to the ship which Noah built
though on much smaller scale--that it
gave rise to considerable inquiry and com
ment. We ensconced ourselves behind the
liberties of the press, and made bold to ask
what it was intended for, and were told that
