aer Tor their reception. The city will be
very much crowded with visiters, from
every part of the Union, after the first of
January. There is much speculation as

gone into winter quarters, at the Decatur
house, lately occupied BY Mr.. Clay, where
ne is to receive and entertain political and
fashionable circles, in the most approved
manner. Messrs. Branch and, Berrien
are single men, and wholly averse to ex-
pense and ostentation. The War De-
Partment is in open hostility with the
Treasury and the Vice Presidency. 1t
will be impossible SO far to reconcile them
as to place them on terms of social civility.
Much embarrassment is anticipated, in
our society, from this source.
NEW York, Nov. 8. LEAD MINES.
We have seen map (just published) of
the Lead Mine District, east of the Mis-.
slslppi, between Rock River on the south
and the Ouisconsin or Wisconsin on the
north, and bounded east by the Sugar
River. A part Of this District lies within
the limits of Illinois, and The remainder
in the Northwestern or Michigan Terrific
ny. From the almost innumerable posi-
tons where lead ore has been discovered.
there is little hazard in saying that dis
trlct more fertile in this mineral, and of
equal extent, is not to be found in the
known world. The Indian title to large
portion Of it has been extinguished during
the past summer. The amount of lead
manufactured here in 1925, was 439, 473
lbs. In 1926, 1860, 536. In 1927. 1924
1888. In 1928, 1891, 100. In the first
quarter of 1929, 2,494, 444. One tenth
Immediately becomes the property of the
National Government !: the remainder is
shared by the miners and manufacturers.
Copper ore has also been found in consid-
cradle quantities. The population of the
District in 1925 was estimated at 200; in
1926 1000; in 1927 1000, and in 1928
10000 about one taoentieth of whom are
females. Not more than a tenth of the
surface is covered with timber the re-
mainder is prairie laad- Several cnnical
mounds, rising some hundred feet above
the level oflthe country, are scattered here
and there, and serve as natural beacons to
direct the traveller in his course. Even
tually this District must become wealthy
and populous, being almost entirely sur
rounded and to some extent intersected
with navigable waters.-JOurnal of Com.
There is much truth in the short para
graph inserted below, which we take from
late number of the Cincinnati Gazette.
1t is good answer to some appeals which
we have lately seen made, in this fair city,
to such forces as can be enlisted under
the honest cry of down with the Aristo-
Gratis" Who and where are the Aristo.
Gratis, in this country of equal privileges
and equal laws bait. Pat.
"ARrsrocRAcY." Every designing po-
litical knave finds it convenient to rail
against the (" aristocracy," when he is la
bouring to make himself somebody, at the
expense of his country. The man who
cleans his own shoes and packs his own
market basket, is an aristocrat," if he
stands up manfnlly in the support Of sound
principles of government, and openly ex-
press his contempt for the office-seeking
mob-datterers ofthe land. Almost every
day, we have evidence of this absurd ac-
cusation Of" aristOcracy," as applicable
as in either case here supposed. The
!" aristocracy" Of religion and Of law, Of
native talent, and of honorable princi-
Piles, is the essential cement of society ::
the !" aristOcracy" of birth and wealth is
now of little account.
Qua VILLAGE. Notwithstanding our
village has with the rest of the world suf
fered under the pressure Of the times,
it has been improved considerably during
the past season. Among the new build.
ings erected, are:
The Unitarian Church, on State Street,
a most chaste and beautiful edifce, erect
ed by the society under the pastoral care
of Rev. Mr.. Thomas.
A new block of excellent brick stores,
on Main street, North end, erected by
Mr.. True.
And splendid addition by Mr.. Hutch
ms to his already spacious Matchmaking
that excellent and popular house to vie in
extent and convenience of its. accomoda-
lions with any house in New-England.
