There are good temperance men, who
think the best way to put a stop to the Ii
quor traffic is to make those engaged in it
responsible for the injuries done. This we
regard as a wild impracticable scheme. 1t
looks pretty well in theory, but it could not
be carried out in practice. The New York
Tribune thus illustrates this proposition:
Suppose law to be enacted, declaring
that each seller Of Intoxicating Beverages
shall make good any damage sustained in
consequence of this traffic. Well Z: Jolly

EARLY PLANTING OF PoTAToEs. The best
way to eseapethe Rot, and potato bug, is to
plant your potatoes as early as the last Of March
or the first Of April--put little lime in each
hill when planting. | have planted my early
potatoes iu this way for the last five years, and
aoae Of them have ever rotted. / have also
planted some in May, every year for several
years (withOut lining and they have alweys
rotied, more or less.
But putting limein the hills viii not prevent
the bugs from eating off the tops; neither will
sprinkling lime on the tops puta stop totheir
gormandizing But If you will plant very
early, your potatoes will be Of good size before
the bugs make their appearance, and you will
have potatoes in spite Of the bugs. While if
those planted late are attacked at the same time,
they will scarcely be worth digging, as they
grow none after the tops ere destroyed. .--0hiO

The INDIANA CENTRAL RAILWAY which tx-
tends from Indianapolis east on the line Of the
National Road about 70 miles to the Ohio State
line near Richmond, is rapidly progressing to
completion. The eutire line is under contract
for graduation and masonry Ten miles imme.
dlately westof the Ohio State liue will be rea-
dy forthe rails by the first July next. The en-
tie road to Indianapolis will be completed in
December next. A portion Of the iron rails
have been purchased. This Road is coutinu-
alton east Of the lerre Haute and Indianapolis
Railway, which is now completed and doing a
good business. At Indianapolis it connects with
the Madison Road; giving direct commuuica-
tion with the Ohio River at that point, with the
La Fayette and indianapolis Road now in the
course of completion. besides other roads IN the
course Of construction. Tie Road from Terre
Haute to St. Louis will likely be placed under
contract for grading and bridging early the
coming summer
At the Ohio State line it connects with the
Hamilton and Eaton road, giving direct com.
munieatiOn with Cincinnati and with the Day
ton and west line road in the course Of con.
struction, thence to Columbus and Cleveland
or Pittsburgh. BY the Ohio and PENNSYLVANIA
road The Indiana Central railway will be
one OF great Importance; il will open direca
communication with Cincinnati on the south
east, to that part Of Indiana at present having
bat common country roads to travel. This road
traverses altogether the most fertile, populoua
and Oldest settled portions Of that State.
The largest settlement Of Quakers in the
United States is in Wayne county, Richmond
being the principal town Of the county They
we're never known to inhabit an unproductive
country. The value of taxables, according to
official repOrts in the fourteen counties through
which the line passes in Indiana from east to
west, and the counties Immediately contiguous
thereto for the year 1851, was $6i ,945, ,89I.-
This valuation Is thought to be largely within
the true value.
To this may be added $23. 900 900, being the
aggregate taxahles for the three counties ia Ohio
on the line to Dayton. The principal market
for the region traversed by this road is the city
Of Cincinnati, to which point nearly the entire
