One thing the people of this county may
congratulate themselves upon, and that is
the immigration We are receiving Is OF the
very best class-earnest men and women
who have come to build up home, and
who are neither dirty, lousy or ragged. A
few extra dollars of our daddies are a fine
thing in the pocket of the new settler.

which had been coming and going, like an
ignis fatuus Of the swamp for 10 these MANY
years-is at last completed. The last work
done upon it has been thorough in all its
appointments. Theory has this time been
braced and backed by experience, and now
the Laurence dam, 900 uater porer, is a fact
and fixture.
The dispatch OF the 9th says that four
families, embracing twenty persons all told
