KaOIin Asain.--Prof. Murrish ar
rived IN our city last Saturday on bust
ness connected with the procuring of a
quantity of our kaolin for the use Of
Fouudries and Rolling Mills. Mr..
Murrish gives a very interesting ac-
count of what has led to the shipment
of this Kaolin. In all probability,
henceforth, our inexhaustable beds
will supply the Iron works in all the
large cities. Cincinnati, Chicago, St.
Louis, Milwaukee, and a score Of other
cities of like magnitude, as we'll as
many smaller, but not less enterprising,
perhaps, have been procuring this fire
sand or kaolin, from New Jersey
Mr.. Murrish will be able to determine
in very few days the results of the
investigation from this shipment, -
probably about twenty barrels. If the
kaolin proves to be the thing, of which
fact Mr.. NJ. has no doubt, large de-
mand will at once be. made upon our
beds, and vast wealth accrue to own
ers of Kaolin lands, as we'll as to the
county Mr.. Murrish has done much
to develope the Kaolin in Wood Coun.
ty, and to incite our people in the
search for it, and the consequence is,
that all over the county, and particu.
larry in its western part, vast beds are
being discovered, and new enthusi-
asm created over this, to be, Invaluable
article of commerce.

A New FIGURING Mill.-Last week

we noticed the fact that parties were
endeavoring to effect negotiations with
Mr.. Rablin, for water power with the
intention of putting in operation a
large FIGURING Mill. We learn that
Mr.. Rablin offered the gentlemen such
a water privilege as they required, in
GLIDING the site for the mill nearly op,
posite the Roche House, for the sum
of $4,000 The parties we are informed
have returned to Berlin where they will
think over the proposition. We don't
pretend to know the value Of "powers'
but this we do know, Our city will
never make stride forward so long as
property holders tax would be purchas-
erS SO heavily for "priviliges" and
"sltes.' We believe i.vo1ld hive been a
source of profit to Mr.. Rablin to have
decided the gentlemen what they wan
ted Tor nominal sum. We fear that we
shall hear nothing more from this pro-
jected enterprise.

are destroying large quantities of pine,
and men prospecting are driven from

ImprOyements.-Our city is Fl

ImprOyements.-Our city is full
Of improvements We notice on every
hand a decided disposition to add, here
little, and there a little. and thus
make the general appearance as prepo-
sessing as time, patience, labor and
greenbacks can make it. We took a
stroll about town on Saturday, and
Mr.. Neeves Is building tasty fen
ces on Quality Row, Mr.. Spafford
is building side walk from the street
to the rear of his residence, - Mr..
Freeman is excavatins for cellar, and
underpining his residence, Mr..
HOMER is building commodious store
house just northeast of the Methodist
Church, for the accommodation of a
portion of his large stock until such
time as he shall require it in his sales
room.--Mr Worden with his accus-
toned enterprise has graded the rolling
land west of his residence, and the ap-
pearance of the street and surrounino
residences are greatly improved there
by.--On the Friendship road we OBJ
served large number of tenements up,
and in process of construction, stretch
ing our city goodly way out into the
country,---Mr. Gardner has purchas-
ed the Case House, and purposes max
ing improvements thereon. Judge
Wood is replacing the old trees destroy
ed by the fire at the time his barn was
burned, with budding naples and elms,
MR.. Morrill, is building an addition
to his tannery,--Mr. Love has near
ly finished an addition to his residence
Just above the Court House, and Frank
Pomainville has laid out very tasty
garden connecting with his stor> snc.
residence, extending to the rear Of the
First National Bank.
These improvements, and score
more in different portions Of our city,
ofgreater and lesser magnitude, all attest
the enterprise and progressi7eness of
our people. and reveal determination
to not retrograde. They all add to
the wealth and beauty Of our city.

r. r. Meeting.-A large numbe

Il. IL. Meeting. "A large nulnUer
of our citizens met at the Council Hall
last Tuesday evening to meet Mr.. Bent
ly, the Atty. for the Sheboygan Il
Fond du Lac, or what has been known
as the Princeton Railroad Co. Mr. Bently
states that it is the intention of the com
pany to crowd the road through to
Grand Rapids by Jany. 1st. if possible,
but that such result depends in q great
measure upon our citizens, and what
they are willing to DO. Mr.. B. would
be glad to have the city aid the compa-
ny, and also our capitalists by private
subscription to its stock. 4 commit
tee was appointed to canvass matters,
who reported at a late hour. The sub
stance Of their report is, that Wood Co.
has some $4,000 acres of land which
are available, but shat the question Of
any further bonding of the county or
city is deemed inexpedient at this time
The committee further, will prepare a
showing of tons Of merchandise of the
incoming and outgoing business Of our
city and county, and also a schedule Of
its lands &c. &c.
As regards the Princeton road, not
one of our citizens will deny that it is
the road we want and above all others,
to US, the most valuable. It is not
policy is entertain the idea Of voting
further aid, but We do think that the
matter is of sufficient Importance to
warrant our citizens giving it due con-
sideration. We should not be too hasty
in saying that we will or will not do
this or that; but rather let the bust
ness be coolly and nationally canvassed,
and then let our action be in unison
with our deliberations We know that
what is developing in Wood County III
the direction Of Kaolin and bog ore is
of itself Of sufficient Importance to war
rant the construction of the Princeton
Road to cur city. 4 half million bbls
Of Kaolin will 60 out from Wood Co.
ere another two years and bog ore will
be sought for to smelt with the more
solid ores of the north and northwest.
To this add the immense hard wood
timber business which would come to
the road with its entree into our wes-
tern border towns, and the carrying
business of the road, conceeding an
equal amount to the G.. 3. l. Tomah
roads, would be suffi to pay a
handsome interest on the invest
ment We want to see the road build
ed, and thai too right away, and if any
means can be devised whereby we may
aid the enterprise to its contamination
let it be done

Eapor Baths.--Mr. Henry Jessey.
formerly of our city, is canvassing our
county for new and most excellent
invention for the administering of va
por baths, the hygienic properties Of
which are acknowledged by all the Sci
entihc and medical men Of the country.
MIR. Jesscy has amodel with him which
can be examined by those wishing to
investigate, or DESTROYS Of purchasing.
1t has long been the opinion ofsome
OF the most learned men in the school
of medicine that the administrations re-
medal agents (by evaporatior),
through the pores ofthe skin By absorp-
ton, is the true and most natural way
to reach the seat of all chronic, cutan-
eous disease. This is the theory inyol-
we'd in the new discovery for which Mr.
Jessey is canvassing our county. and
for which he holds state right. W.
have not room to give even synopsis
Of the many advantages offered by this
new plan, but to give only a brief de-
scription of the ''box' as it is termed,
Comprising the bath Stuff ice it to say
that it is a box about two feet
wide and about four high, and three
long, opening by door suitable for
the admission Of the patient who is pro-
vided with a comfortable seat. The
door closes about the neck of the pa
tient, leaving the head free from the
heat ensendered by an alcohol lamp
over which is placed vessel containing
the medicine to be administcres-in the
in the form of powder, and over
which is still another vessel or reser-
voir for water OF such other liquid as
may be required, We have given, we
are aware very imperfect description
of the bath and would advise those
interested to examine the model and
consult with Mr.. Jessey who will give
all required information cheerfully.
For all chronic diseases and skin
disorders the Eapor bath IS a grand
thing, to say nothing Of its worth IS
means to cleanliness. It is a luxury.
For az classes of rheumatism it Is
counted a specific Mr. Jessey is pre-
pared to sell family rights, or rights to
counties we think he must meet With
very great success:

they here to-day. The mills are run

improvements at the Post Office

If any one doubts the growth and
pushing ahead of our city, and in fact
our county, for many residing quite
way from the Office get their mail
here, they can remove all such doubts
by looking at the improvem ents made
in the Post Office. Nearly hundred
new boxes and sixty drawers were add
ed last week The whole number of
boxes is now 800, and of drawers about
50. \ few years ago the highest box
number was so, and the institution re-
quired no drawers. In five more years
we shall have box No 1000, and Grand
Rapids Post Office will be one Of the
large offices of the state.
