Anniversary Of Jackson

Forty-five years ago on Friday, the 3d of July, 1829, the ford, near where now is Trail street bridge, gave access on the west side of Grand river to the first white sottlers. They were Horace Blackman and Alexander Laverty, led by a Pottowattomie Indian guide named Pewa-tuni, and here they pitohed their tent and built their camp fire. The next rnorning, seeing the lay of the land was good, with beautiful bilis of oak openings surrounding the place in all directions except along the direct courso of beautiful river - larger and clearer than now - they concluded to here looate their home and rest from the their wanderings. Tha next resolvo was to "celébrate." It was the glorious Fourth and should be nshered in by a national salute. The three rifles were promptly brought into requisition, and the public repast prepared by Capt. Laverty was partaken of by all the inhabitants ai the place. The orations were duly delivered before the large and aporeoiative audience - Pe-watum - and then cune the business of staking off the land. From this unpropitious beginning, comparatively but a short time since.has risen the third city in populatiou, manufacturing and I cial importance in this good State of ours. - Jad-non Cüxzen. The black bug is making havoc in the peach nurseries of Maryland. A dispatch from Willmington, Del., eays that in one nursery the graftad stock 83,000 trees was entirely killed. The insect is even capable of destroying large trees, as it thickly covers the leaves and prevents vegetation. None of the ordinary means of destroying insects seems to avail, as this scourge is very tenacious of life, and liquid application that will kill the tree does not effect it. It resembles the rose bug, and is regarded by entomologista as a similar pest to the cherry achid.
