THE PRAIRIE HERALD having been adj
vertised for sale for several weeks and no one ap-
pearng TO avail himself of the offer and the edit
and proprietor not desiring to continue its pub
LEGATION, an association has been formed for the
purpose of purchasing it and issuing Congrega-
tional paper in its stead, to be called the IVES
TERN CONGREGATIONALH HERALD
1t will be the effort of the conductors to furnish
an interesting and useful religious newspaper
adapted to the wants of families and individuals
in the North West. While it is not designed to
be made controversial journal, and will not be
employed TO make war upon any denomination
of Christians or any existing evangelical ecclesas-
teal or benevolent boards, yet it will take decd-
cd grounds in defense of the faith and order of
the Puritan Fathers aid Churches aud of the prin-
ciples of moral Reform. It vii. be found to he an
Incorporating opponent of Intcmperance, Sla-
very and other moral and social vices and evils
The great Benevolent enterprises of the day, For
eign and Home Missions, &c., will receive its ear
nest support. Without being committed to any
plan for prosecuting measures of Christian Phil
anthropy its columns shall be open to all for free
discussion far is consistent with the furnish
ing of desirable variety of matter and due pro-
portonate regard to all the subjects which claim
attention in religious journal. Space will be
afforded for the News of the day, and for articles
of Miscellaneous Educational and Agricultural
character; nor will the tastes and wants of the
Children and Youth be forgotten. Appropriate
critical notices will also bring to the attention of
readers the new publications of the day.
The editorial arrangements will be such as to
concentrate in columns the local relie-
ious news of the North West, as well as that
which will be gathered from all other parts of the
Union and World.
The size of the sheet issued weekly, will be a
very little less than that of the Prairie Herald and
the same as that of the Vermont Chronicle, Con-

The POWER OF MODERN INVENTION OVER
ANcIEST.--Horace Mann thus sums up a few
of the advantages of modern invention:
zone boy, with fourdriner machine,
will make more paper in twelve months, than
all Egypt could have made in a hundred
years, during the reign of the Ptlomies.-
One girl, with a power press, will strike of
books faster than million scribes could copy
them before the invention Of printing. One
man, with an iron foundry, will turn out
more utensils than Tubal- Cain could have
forged, had he worked diligently TILL THIS

SUPPOSED MuRDER.-Many of our readers
will recco!lect that some time last November
we published an account of the finding ofthe
body of man in the town of Ashippun, in
this county, supposed at that time to have
committed suicide, and that was the decision
of the coroner. 1t is now supposed the man
was murdered. The facts in the case, as we
learned them from neighbor of the deceased,
are as follows:-A young man by the name
of Edwin Bunda, formerly of Oswego, in the
state of New York, where his father now re-
sides, had been living for two or three years
previous to his disappearance, in Ashippun,
and was paying his addresses to the daughter
of Hiram Sanders, also of Ashippun. The
father of Mr. s., had forbid young Bunda
from coming to his house and having any
thing to say to his daughter and threatened,
if he persisted in coming, to make way with
him. The young man continued to visit the
the daughter; and as is supposed, in the lat
ter part of June last, went to invite her to at.
tend ball, since which time he has not been
seen alive Sanders was arrested on Tuesday
last, and is now in jail at this place, awaiting
his trial at the next term of the circuit court
which meets on the fourth Monday in May
next.
The father of the young man has recently
come on from Oswego to investigate the mat
ter, and says the remains of the man found
are those of his son. He recognizes him from
his teeth, which were very peculiar, and diff
ferent from common teeth-also from some
of his clothing
Miss Sanders died about four weeks ago
in consequence of the supposed murder of her
intended.-Dodge Co. Gazette.

RxFLRosDs.-=Insa recent number OF the
Railroad Journal we find some capital re-
marks on advantages of railroads, which we
extract:
It is we'll known THAT upon ordinary nigh
WAYS. the economical limit to transportation
is confined to within a comparatively few
miles, depending of course upon the kind of
freight and the character of the roads. Up
ON the average of such ways, the cost of
transportation is not far from fifteen cents
per ton per mile, which may be considered
rs sufficiently correct estimate for an ave-
rage of the country. Estimating at the
same time the value of wheat at $3.50 per
bushe, and corn IS cents, and that SO bus.
of each are equal to a ton, the value of the
former would be equal to its cost of trans
portation for $50 miles, and the latter los.
At these respective distances from market,
neither of the above articles would have a
commercial value, with only common road
as an avenue to market.
But we find that we can move property
upon railroads at the rate of one-tifth Der
ton per ton per mile, or for one-tenth the
cost upon the ordinary road. These works,
therefore, extend the economic limits of the
cost of transportation of the above articles
to 1900 and 1000 miles respectively. At
the limit of the economical movement of
these articles upon the highway, by the use
of railroads, wheat would be worth $44,50
and corn $22,27, which sums respectively
would represent the actual increase of val
ne created by the interposition of such a
work s1I
1t will be seen the value of lands is affect
ed by railroads in the same ratio as their
products. For instance, land lying on a
navigable water course or in the immediate
vicinity of market, may be worth, for the
culture of wheat 500. Let the average crop
be % bushels to the acre, valued at $33,
and the cost of the cultivation at SIS, this
would leave SIS per acre as the net profit
This quantity of wheat (two-thirds of ton,)
could be transported $50 miles at cost of
one cent per mile, So so, which would leave
$l4 20 as the net profit of land at that dis
lance, when connected with it by railroad.--
The value of the land, MISUNDERSTANDING
the quality of the land TO be the same in
both cases-weuld bear the same ratio to the
assumed value of 500 as the value of its
products $I4 20, does to $lS, or $50 per
acre--which is nm actual increase of value
to that amount, assuming the correctness of
the premises. The same calculation may, of
course, be applied with equal force to any
kind and species of property.

ATMOSPHERIC TELEGRAPH.-An exhibit
ton was made at room in the Merchants
Exchange, on Saturday, of q new machine
invented by Mr.. J. o. Richardson, by which
he claims that letters can be transported from
this city to N. Y in fifteen minutes. The
means of conveyance is tube.-The pack
age to be conveyed is placed in a bag to which
plunger is attached and is propelled by at
mospheric pressure, the machinery being SO
arranged that no air can pass the plunger.
The model exhibition was a leaden tube, 20
feet long and one inch in diameter. 1t is
stated that an Atmospheric Telegraph Co. is
formed, and that line is to be erected be-
tween this city and New York, with stations
at all the large places between the two cities.
