10th the Missouri river had fallen nearly eight
feet; but between that time and Wednesday night
il rose three feet, and still rising. The Glas-
cow Banner, of Thursday, says, "Tho damage al
ready done by the water in our county has not
been as great as anticipated. By far the great
est losses have occurred on the creeks and the bot
tom lands diacent Some property has been des
troyed in the river bottoms, and many crops Sc
rously injured; but the farmers have returned TO
their lands determined as far as industry can, to
retrieve their losses This they will be able TO do,
in great measure, if not again submerged by the
rise which Is now threatening them"

The LIcENsE LAVA discussion has lately
sprung up in Ohio the great constitutional ques-
ton, what is the meaning of the license clause
engrafed into the new constitution? Some contend
that the adoption of this clause leaves the traffic in
ardent spirits free the traffic in iron, flour,
sc. Others contend that under it the traffic can
be entirely prohibited The article itself reads as
follows:
"No license to traffic in intoxicating liquors shall
hereafter be granted in this State but the General
Assembly may, by law, provide against evils re-
sulting therefrom."
The ''strict constructionsts'' hold that the Le-
gislature cannot prohibit the SALE but only provide
for the evils thereof, while the "latitudinarans'
contend that the best way to prevent the evils will
be to prevent the sale.

CATTLE ON RAILRoADs.-A few days ago our
fellow citizen, Mr. III. l.. Ashbrook, took ninety
head of beef cattle to New York city. The cattle
were sent by the Little Miami and Columbus roads
to Cleveland, and thence by steamer to Buffalo
and from that place by railroad to New York city.
The cost of transportation was $l4 10 per head,
Mr. Ashbrook sold Immediately, on satisfactory
terms, and returned home, having been absent
eleven days. Not the least accident or difficulty
occurred and there very little shrinkage in
the cattle.
The immense advantage of this mode Of trans
portation will be apparent, when we state that IT
requires about seventy- FIVE days TO drive lot of
cattle from this point TO New York city, attended
with an expense of near twenty dollars per head.
and with heavy loss by shrinkage. Cooington

PosT OFFICE sTAMPs-The new postage law goes
into operation to-day. The new postage stamps
will come into at the same time. Those Of the
five cent rate are somewhat similar to the present
ten can't stamps; the three cent stamp represents
Washington in proflei the one cent stamp is bust
of Franklin. The Providence Journal says;
"The use Of stamps will doubtless become very
general under the new law reducing the rate Of
postage As the postage is lower on prepaid letters
persons who write on their own business, requiring
an answer, should enclose postage stamp in the
letter. This will tend 10 make prepayment more
general"
