its contents, and of the manner in which
it had been discovered; and that its au-

Centrsrile, Indiana, Oct. 5.-The
emigration of this State is much greater
this year than it was last: it was CO m
puted at 500 per cent. last year, and,
from what we have seen, we think il
may be reckonsd at 100 this year. We
think we are safe in saying, that some
thing like two hundred families have
passed through this place within two
months. They are generally bound for
the Wabash. There is no State in the
Union which has increased with as great
rapidity as Indiana. That part of the
State called the New Purchases" was
bought from the Indians in the fall OF
1918: it was then a wilderness, but at
the present time it contains twenty-one
organized counties, and about $1,000
inhabitants. There is yet room for
100000 more, and plenty Of first rate
iandto be had at 81 IS per acre.

Golden Grove, at N~ew.York, from
