GTThe Louisville Journal thus chroni-
ccs the progress Of the efforts making to
raise fund for the erection Of monument
to the memory Of Henry Clay:
We are extremely happy to hear that late
contributions to this sacred object have been
large and encouraging. Mr. Duncan, the
President of the "Cay Monument Assoca-
tion," is untiring in his eliolts to procure
funds to erect memorial at the grave Of
the departed Statesman worthy of his fame,
and ereditabe to the contributors. In Ohio
he was cmincntly successful two subscrip-
tons of $1,000 each were made by citizens
of that State. AT the Lexington and Bour-
bon Fairs; large sums were subscribed: B"ur.
bon is down for $4,000 Fayettc for 5000;
in Franklin the amount contributed we are
told is larger than in any other county, in
Kentucky, except Faycitr. Our own city
and county, we hope and believe will soon
move in this good work, and 70 right ahead
of all others. Our Fair next week will be II
good time to begin: IIr. Duncan will be there.
Follow the example of Il stranger at the Lex
ington Fair. who thus accostcd Mr.. ID. II

Il monument at Mr. ClHy's gravc-l wish to

CATTLE AND IIoGs.-Wc understand that
Cattle are bearing Il fine price. and are s"righi
after. Large numbers are being driven To
Missouri to winter, to be taken in the Spring
to California. In the droycs are a great many
mi!ch cows.
The demand for. and the scarcity of cattle
will, it is thought, have the effect to make
Hogs bear Il GOOD price. For the last few
weeks, we are incIincd'to think the prospect
better for hogs. We hope that the price will
be sufficient to pay the farmers GOOD profits.
1t is the opinion Of many with whom we
have convcrsrd, that there will be but Il small
number of hogs driven South. With us, we
have not heard of Il single purchase for the
Southern market. ,SUmmerSa (hy) ia.

Ny DUTY TOWARD Ny NEIGnRoR.-My
duty toward my ncighbor is to love him us
myself, and to do to all men, as would they
should do unto me. To love, honor and sue
cour my Father and mother. TO honor and
obey the civil authority. To submit myself
to all my governors, teachers spiritual pastors,
and masters. To order myself lowly and
revcrently, before all my bcttcrs. To hurt
nobody by word or deed. TO be true and
just in al! my dealings. To bear no malice
nor hatred in my heart. To keep my hands
from picking and stealing, and my tongue
from evil speaking, lying and sIandcriny. To
keep my body in temperance, sobcrness and
chastity Not to covct or desire other men 5
goods, but to learn and labor truly to get
mine own living, and duty in that state of life
unto which it shall please God to call men.
When looking ut the nearest fixed
star, we do not see that bo ly as it is at the
time of observation, but rs it WAS forty years
ago, when the ray of light which strikes our
eye departed from it; all that time having
been spent in coming to US.
