half trip per month for vessels during a
season of eight months of navigation,
would in round numbers, amount to about
24.00O, 900 tons. Deduct from this amount
90 per cent. for commerce that does not
pass Detroit, but goes to other points, and
we have 10, 9,200,G00 tons passing this one
point during The season of navigation.
This amount of tonnage exceeds anything
passing any given point on the seaboard
of this country or any foreign country as
far as known. In addition to the above
tonnage oy vessels and steam there is
equal to 100, ,000, 900 feet of lumber passing
through Detroit in RATS, equal to 100, 900
tons. What would we do without our great
lakes with the vast products of the Great
West! There would be railroads enough
if quadrupled and double-tracked to move
the commerce that passes our doors every
day and month in the year at the this time.
And with the growth of the West in the
same ratio as the past five years, and a
like increase in tonnage in our lakes,
which latter equals 20 per cent. yearly,
We can see. even in the near future, Won
derful developments. 1t would require to
move the commerce of the lakes for eight
months by rail l ,94O,0 900 :cars, or 1O1 900
trains of 90 ears each, or 335 trains of 20
cars each per day for 800 days in the year,
which would be the working days less
Sundays and holidays, to move the ton
mage passing our city in the season of
navigation.

cause they choose as an abode the peni-
tentiary instead of the county-house, as
the lesser evil of the two. While this is true
of a majority of the refugees for the poor,
throughout the country it is especially SO
of that in our own county. The Infirmary
should afford to the infirm, the weak, the
helpless, a home in which their remaining
days may be brought to painless a
close as possible. This it does not, and i'll
the present condition, cannot do.
The most urgent need of Lake county to-
day is that of proper asylum for the

The Public Examinations and Anniyer-
sary Exercises of Lake Erie Seminary
will take place on Wednesday and Thurs
day, July ID and Sd. change from the
appointment in the catalogue being nee
essary on account of commencement at
Western Reserve College July I'd. An
address will be delivered at IL A. NJ,
Thursday, by Rev. II. d. kitchel D. D.,
President of Middleburg College, Yer
mont. Former pupils and all friends of
the Seminary are cordially invited.
The Seminary comes to the close of the
present school year with good measure
of prosperity. Among other assurances
of interest from its friends is collection
of fifty large photographs of scenes in
Rome, with copies of statuary the gift
of Rev. W. c. Haydn, and selected by
Miss E. NJ. Hitchcock while in Europe.
c. A. Avery whose interest in the Institu-
ton dates from it's earliest beginning left
as a parting remembrance on his depar-
trlre to Europe, four beautiful pictures
representing in sculptured bas relief the
symbolical figures, Europe, Asia, Africa
and America. Five friends of the Sem
mary among the young men of Painesville,
have conferred upon it n lasting favor in tn
gift of a Regulator. The value of this and
other expressions of interest from friends
in this town cannot be estimated. The
real wealth of any Institution is its
friends. Let those who have shown them
selves friendly to Lake Erie Seminary be
assured that their kind words and gener-
Gus deeds are not forgotten. nor is in the
gift less acceptable, when it seems small
to the giyer.

The famous Watkins Glen, located at
Watkins, Schuyler Co., \. Y, which has
become one OF the most popular Summer
ally visited by tens of thousands of peo-
pie from all sections of the country, will
with its two Mountain Houses-be open
this season, for visitors, on the Ist of
June. The entire Glen property has re-
Gently been purchased by John j. Lytle &
Co., of Philadelphia, who have made many
impOrtadt improvements-nearly all the
staircases. bridges, and ratings having
been renewed-and the Glen is in much
better and safer condition than ever be-
fore. These gentlemen will personally
supervise and manage the Glen and it's
Summer Hotels, during the season of 1873,
and spare no time or expense in endeav-
oring to make it an attractive and pleasant
place of resort for the public.
The Watkins Glen-manifold as are its
scenic charms-is by no means the only
mantle surroundings from the village from
which it takes its name. Seneca Lake,
one of the most beautiful sheets of water
in the world, with the magnificent view
from the highlands around it, Hec-
ter Falls, two and half miles north of
W atkins on the east shore of the lake, ,and
the Havana Glen, which has been visited
for several years past by great numbers of
paople. are well worthy of the attention of
and will be hailed with delight
by all students and admirers of Nature.

BY MINNIE BATEHAM.

TN the midst of the fresh, sweet Jnne.
L When the earth was wrapped about,
Through the shining day and the starry night,
With blooming roses and sunshine bright,
The light Of her life went out.
Peaceful and still she lay,
Earth and its suffering past;
w It'll the fair white brow and the lips caresSed
BY the touch of the angel that bringeth rest.
The blue eyes hidden-but God knows best.
Safely at home at last.
'.As a little child' she went,
No shadow of grief or fear
But peacefully, trustfully passed away.
As the sweet pink apple blooms fall in May.
(trasiie and fragrant and fair as they0
Awaiting the fruitage near.
We laid her away to rest;
And over the sunny head
Roses bloom through the summers prime
And soft and low in the fresh spring time
Sweet hyacinth bells with their silyery chime,
Ring for the fair young dead:
An echo tender and sweet
OF the song the angels sing
Our ears are holden, or we might hear
The anthem welcoming glad and clear
To the palace-home and her Father dear
The daughter of the king.
A crown rests light on her brow,l
The beautiful face is bright
With the perfect joy that the ransomed know
And robes she wears like the shining snow
Falling so tenderly. soft and slow,
Over her grave tonight.

upon banks has been very active while the sup
ply of currency has been much below the re-

Deposits are down to a very low point, and by
active checking, balances are much reduced. Eas-
