Among the multifarious objects which
attrac Ct our notice, agriculture is one Of
much importance. Our valley, pos
sesses a soilswhich for fertility, quickness
and easiness of tillage, is not surpassed
in the western country. Partial and few
as the improvements have heretofore
been,enough has been done to show that at
no very distant period the whole of this
uncultivated country will be made to
blossom as the rose. Already has the
vesture Of smiling green, in which ma
ture clothed our soil, become chequered
with occasional spots Of artificial culture.
Land can be purchased in any part Of
this valley at low rate, and a ready
market is found for all kinds Of produce,
Fat the highest prices in any Of the nu'
merous towns on the banks Of our river.
Farmers who have spent all their lives
in cultivating the rocks and mountains
Of New England, with no prospect o
receiving an equivalent for their labors
would find it to theirinterest to emigrate
hitherward, where with half the expen-
diture Of physical strength which they
now employ in agricultural concerns
well laid out upon our soil. they car
reap harvest yielding them a far great
er profit, and gather around them com
forts to which now they are strangers

sing the same supposed advantages,
have sunk into temporary. if not eternal
forgetfuluess, will then be explained
andthe people who have SO long doubted
the resources ofthe Maumee valley, will
then be compelled to acknowledge the
truth, that we do possess great coun-
try and must become a great place.
Nor are these the only advantages
which we possess. We boast ofhaving
a good society. Few exceptions can be
taken to the peaceful and steady habits
of any of our citizens. No petty dis
tnctinos of wealth exist to inter rupt
mutual interchange of sentiment among
the respectable Of every rank and con-
dition of life.
Our society is large and daily increas-
ing, and for intelligence, correct taste,
union, and devotion to all causes, cal
culated to diffuse moral and healthy
spirit, we may safely challenge any east
ern town of equal size to produce its SUI
perior if they can It's equal. We say
not this, by way of asserting superiori-
ty over any ofour neighbors, but with a
view to suppress the prevailing opinion
at the east, that the people who emigrate
hitherward are an uneducated and sense
less class, on whom in eastern society,
it would be matter Of extreme conde-
scension, to indulge pleasant look
We say il too, that our eastern brethren
may understand that the majority of
our citizens, once constituted portion
of the life and soul of their society, and
that they came here to avail themselves
of the advantages which were there mo-
nopolized.
No part ofour country offers greater in
ducements to men of science and general
literature than the Maumee valley. A vast
field is open for the exercise Of their am
bition, the full development of their abil-
it's, and the consequent reward Of fame
and fortune. Ministers of the gospel,
laboring in the great cause Of christiani-
ty, would find in our immediate vicinity
many places which require their services
and prayers, and which but for their
aid must grow up in ignorance, of the
responsibilities imposed by the religion
ofJesus. Give US but the addition of
this class of society, and the same spirit
which has sustained our commercial en-
terprize, will infuse itself into the sep
arate channels ofliterature, science, arts,
and religion until an equal interest is felt
by all classes in the progress of these
different imp rovements, and the same
fostering hand of public liberality open
ed to their support.

aimes by the abortive attempt of Mr..
Monroe to get up a balloon ascension.
The imitation seems to have taken effect
upon the populace, rather than upon the
balloon, and although sufficient quanti-
ty Of acid could not be procured for the
production Of the gas, it cid not seem to
be wanting in the minds Of those who
witnessed the experiment, for ifthe @ro-

CoNsEeUENcE.-The editor of the
Toledo Blade, at the risk of having all
the Government about his ears, for dispu-
ting the statement of one of its agents,
admits that the Maumee river is six and
a half feet deep above Toledo. If the
Government scouts at the depth of half
foot, what might the editor expect if
he should state the accurate depth of the
river? We incline to the opinion, that it
would injure the editors credit for pene-
tration.

KosHKoNoNa, AND GREAT CRossrNas

kOSHKONONG, AND OREAT CROSSINGS.
There is not, from all accounts, two
more valuable town sites in the whole
territory of Wisconsin, that those whose
names head this article. Koshkonong is
situated at the outlet of a lake of the same
name, at the head of steamboat naviga-
ton, on Rock River. Great Crossings
is situated on Catfish and Sugar rivers,
near Koshkonong. Both possess une-
qualled business facilities Of a different
kind. Many, and indeed most of the con-
templated internal Improvements in the
territory intersect each other at the for
mer town, while the latter is valuable
for its immense water powers, and the
large and fertile country by which it is
surrounded. Among the number Of per-
sons who bear testimony to their impor-
tance, may be mentioned G. W.. Feath-
erstonaugh, U. S. Geologist, and the
Hon. Lucius Lyon of Michigan, both Of
whom represent them as uniting in an
astonishing degree, beauty Of scenery,
and healthiness of climate, with great
commercial and agricultural advantages.
Among the thousand and one new cities
which are springing up in this new ter
ritory, we believe that these are of the
few which possess stronger supports
than those given by spectators, or the
noisy babble of western capitalists. And
as they have not derived an existence
from this deceitful source, so will they
not be dependant upon it, for their future
consequence.

By vote of the Presbyterian Cen
eral Assembly taken on the first ulhmo,
the Western Reserve synod, constitu-
tional part Of it, was vacated. The un-
christian efforts made by the old meas
,ure people, to destroy the advancement
of thenew measure principles, have been
productive ofgreat injury to the cause
Of Christianity in this country, and it is
matter ofgratulation to both parties that
the division line is at length drawn, and
each is left 10 pursue its own course un-
molested. Something like this must
sooner or later have taken place. From
all accounts it appears, that numerous
protests were filed by delegates from the
different presbyteries, and that warm
and animated debate was held before the
work was fully accomplished.

The cellar of the store of Mr.. Ira
White, of this place, was entered by an
Irish laborer on the canal, last Saturday
evening. Pat had succeeded in making
his way into the cellar, and was procee-

when his pate unfortunately made the
acquaintance of string of cow bells,
which were suspended over the door at
the head OF the stairs, whose timtinabul-
atory congratulations over their new
friend, speedily aroused clerk who was
doing close to the scene of action. A
light was procured, and after slight
search, the interloper was discovered,
mounted upon hogshead, and letting
on" to be in that happy situation which
relieves every man, and especially an
Irishman, from the trouble of taking care
of himself. A few drops, however, of
the exsiccated extract of COW hide, soon
brought him to his senses, and being in
the eye of the law, "compos mentis,' as
was learnedly remarked by his honor
Judge Lynch. he was put to plead.
The form of trial we shall not enlarge
upon, his honor being especially shortin
cases of this kind, as he observed, !" that
where the fellow is taken in the manor,
and there is no need of the abduction OF
proof trials lose in impressiveness in an
exact ratio to their loss of brevity."
The charge of the Judge however was a
mastery performance, and will be re-
membered by the prisoner for long
time. Indeed so much was he affected
with it, that it was deemed improper
further to punish, as he seemed strongly
impressed with the weight Of the infic.
ton The court being closed, Pat was
suffered to depart, and we hazard moth.
ing in saying, that he was better
(whipped) man than he was before.
