Prospects i'm Wisconsin,.

It seems, from all accounts we can
gather, that the crops throughout the T.
nited States and old country, are going to
fall considerable short Of an average, and
that prices will range higher than for sew
eral years previous.
In Wisconsin, as far as we can learn,
the product of the present year far cx-
ceeds any previous season, and thougli
the emigration to this State is immense,
and requires vast amount Of provisions
to sustain them, yet there will be an
enormous surplus to ship to the eastern
market. In Wisconsin grain is raised
with less than one fourth of the expense
Of the Eastern States, which gives our
farmers a great advantage over them
when ever there is anything like fair
yield. Some may wish to know how
this is done, and we will answer, that
here land can be obtained for far less
price than there, and man can till
great deal more Of it with the same la
Dor, while it produces equally abundant
if not more SO.
This being the case, and it is suscep-
tible Of the plainest demonstration, what
wonder is it that the fertile plains of
Wisconsin are being inhabited and cul-
tivated with greater degree Of rapidity
than any other portion Of the Union p
Our climate is mild and inviting,--our
soil rich and productive,-we are a lit
tie too far north to be subject to any of
those malignant diseases which prevail
to such fearful extent among our south
ern neighbors, and we cannot but b.
lieve that he who would be discontinued
here would find it extremely difficult to
satisfy himself with anything short Of
perfect paradise Beaver Dam Re-
publican.

THE MAINE LAW In MICHIGAN
The detroit Tribune says that clerk of
one Of the most extensive and res pectable

concerned, but that he had not received

ged in the liquor traffic, said ''they didn'1

dispose of what they had, and 60 out of
the business, and go in for the $50 cal

EAt meeting of the farmers
Club in New York city, last week, Mr..
Robertson, in illustrating the great ben
eft of railroads to faners, said:
"a week ago on Monday he saw a
CURIOSITY at our cattle market. 1t was
drove of cattle from the Cherokee Ma

were raised by the Indians and marked
with their hierogliphics. They were
bought by All Illinois drover and pas

west one summer, and fed through the
winter upon the abundance of corn that
grows in southern Illinois. They were
this spring started upon their travels
eastward, and were finally butchered in
New York. 1t would have been almost
impossible to have brought these cattle
down here on foot, as ten miles day is
an ordinary journey, and even had they
arrived here they would have been in
such condition as to be almost unsafe

IA sweetness in the morning air,

And not a sorrow or care

Their pastures full of girlish whims
No dappled fawn so nimbly skins
Along the silver lakelet brims,
Beneath the dripping boughs
They are ruthless, romping rout,
Marauders Of each nook and glen;
They disappear with song and shout,
They beat the forest all about,
And ferret timid flowers out,
Then come in glee again.

a WoRD FOR A FRIEND.-The fol-
lowing paragraph is from the .9Lon TEL
egraph.
sit has generally been the received O.
pinion Of Biologists that the Mississippi
and its tributaries traversed a valley,
with the strata dipping towards the bed
on each side. Recent observations
prove very conclusively that this is all
mistake. DR.. Norwood's survey, as
well as the excavation of the artesian
well, at Belcher's refinery at St. Louis,
show that the line of the Mississippi
traverses ridge and not a valley, and
that the strata dips from the river east
and west; in other words, that the bed
of the Mississippi traverses line of
anti-clinal axes or upheavals. This theo-
ny is applied by Mr.. Philips the Gaolo-
gist, to explain thestructure of lead veins
in the West"
We think it but Justice to Mr.. Phil
lips to say, that the Origin, of the idea
with regard to the Mississippi belongs
to him, as we believe, and not to Dr..
Norwood. If found to be correct on
further demonstration it should be pla-
ced by the scientific world to his credit
and fame. Whatever may be the cor
rectness of Mr.. P.'s views in relation to
our mineral formation, Of which he is
sanguine, the fact that the basis idea of
that theory is beginning to be acknow-
lodged by eminent Biologists is to him
and his frinds an agreeable circumstan-
ce.-T Galena Adv.

How TO Pass THRoUGH SMoKE.-In
the course of an inquest in London,
lately, Mr.. Wakeley, the coroner, OBJ
served that it would be well to acquaint
the public with the fact that if persons
in house on fire had the presence of
mind to apply damp cloth or handker-
chief to their mouth and nostrils, they
could effect passage through the dens-
est smoke; but the surest way would
be to envelope the head and face COM
pletely in the damp cloth.

A LARGE FARM.-The Kenosha Tel
egraph notices the farm of Mr.. Fl.
Durkee, on Pleasant Prairie it con-
tains 200 acres of land in body, en-
closed, and divided by fences. A num-
Der of farm houses on the premises are
occupied by laborers. Mr.. d. keeps
1000 shep of the best fine wool breed ;
also, between $50 and 200 head of cat
tie; there has been grown on the farm
the present year, $50 acres of wheat
the number of acres of corn, oats, bare
ley, potatoes, &c., amount probably te
nearly as many acres more. Another
interesting consideration is an orchard
or orchards of upwards of 1000 apple
trees. This is farming upon a gener-
Gus scale.-T Milwaukee Wis.

THE CRops AND PRIcEs EAsT.-The
New York Tribune of August lst,
sums up the information received at
that office in relation to the crops, and
concludes that wheat will be fair av-
erage; rye good, hay three-fourths only
of an average crop; corn not half a
crop; potatoes below the average oats
scarce half crop. The Tribune adds
the opinion that grain will rule high and
probable advance during the next nine
months, carrying pork up with it, and
that cattle and beef will be cheaper.

A NOVEL CLAIM.-A company in
Western Pennsylvania have lately asked
the General Land Office to allow a claim
to the whole of Western Reserve on the
strength Of grant alleged to have been
given by Connecticut, after the year 1852,
when Charles the II granted TO that Col
ony patent for the Reserve. The Land
Office referred the parties TO the State
of Connecticut.
