OF herwise would have been there. Not
withstanding, at all early hour there WAS
assembled the number of seventy-iive. or
more, all of whom enjoyed such "a social
time as shall not soon be forgotten. The
supper table was sumptuously provided
for by the members and friends of the
church. who contributed the necessaries
free, and, judging from the amount do
mated, also the taste displayed in lis ar
rangement, there must have been
sociality us well as benevOlence in the
hearts OF those who so kindly contrib

entertained with singing, speeches, dia-
logues, recitations, music, &C., the tone
OF which was of such a character as TO
cause its influence to be salutary and
lasting. The financial proceeds of the

that we would soon separate, which we

The Bay City Tribune says that sever
al lumbermen are holding their lunbe
at So, $13 anu $30-an advance OF S
over last years rates at this time
1 The Chicago Tribune of March 9th say
the latest Information from the principa
lumber ports is as follows: At Muskegon
the largest manufacturing point on Lake
Michigan. the quantity of logs put il
is 130,000,000 feet. including 50,000.00l
lying along the railroad track, which
can be brought out at any time. Th'
! present outside estimate of istock fO
/, Muskegon is 240,0O0,O00 feet, but it i
feGred the supply cannot be brought III
to this figure, or increased even 10000,
1000 feet, unless prices should warran

The ground is swampy, and work conlc
not otherwise be done i'm warm weather
The original estimate OF STOCK Tor Mus
kegon. made last fall, was 3..5,000,0OC
feet. AT Luddington about S0,eOo,OOt
feet, out of full stock of 120, ,O00,,'UO
Twill be secured. Wards mills, having d
capacicv OF 40,000,000 feet, have now
only Il, 100000 feet of logs, and repairs
on one of the mills have been stopped.
Manisteee will have 90,0O0O00 feet out
of 10000 GOO, and logs can be run out
during the summer. Grand river is
placed at 80 per cent. of full supply.
and White lake will probably get S0,0OO,-
600 feet, having already half that
quantity, and the prospect for getting
more is better there than at some other
points. At Green Bay, including Me-
nominee, Oconto, and smaller points,
not counting Peshtigo aud Ford river,
the average estimate is 65 per cent. OF a
stock. or about l67, 100000 feet. At Ford
river 100000 feet were carried over,
and the stock will be full one of 22.000,-
I000 feet. The Peshtigo company. with
0O0,000 feet, and jobbers OH that stream
will get 1S,000,0O0 feet more. The Sagi-
nav section is expected to have 40@50
per cent. OF stock. Lumber has recent
ly advanced there ST. per 1000 feet. 1t
does not look as If the Lake Huron sec
ton would be able to send much lumber
west this season. The Mississippi river
district may have full supply, including
the logs left over, provided the new logs
can be run out OF the streams. OF course,
these estimates may all be changed male
rislly.-- March may go out like a lion,
and give the lumbermen a few days OF
good sleighing, which would give them
timeto haul "a large stock tof logs. i'll the

Mr.. Berry says he furnished large

Green and others. and some of the
rooms he furnished as often as three

Incontinuation, ne states that he
furnished at least forty bedrooms
but does not know who occupied them

He was paid for it in legislative pay

We ask reference to the evidence
of Sergeant-at-arms Williams on the
subject of furniture. He says he
purchased lot Of furniture from Mr..
Berry, consisting OF chairs, tables,
washstands and bedroom sets. Some
