work, and is always careful not to have

Farming conducted after the forego-
ing manner, will contribute eminently
to the general utility of all around the
vicinity Of such farming. Such farm
ing will be initiated by neighboring
farmers and all such exemplary farmers
prove, lin the language Of Scripture
that they Give not TO themselves.
The good farmer is, therefore, public
benetactor.
Every farmer should be careful 10
improve his stock Of domestic animals.
| have frequently had occasion to re.
mark that the farmer who repudiates
fine stock, and who always grows his
scrubs By accident. is Invariably himsel,
a serab. and should be dubbed the
scruJbiesf qf all scrubs.
Finally, good farming invariably in.
sures responsibility. No youngsters
should be more respectable than the
plough-boys and dairy maids. and nc
citizen more honored than the intelligent
industrious man Of the soil. And every
farmer, considering the interest OF his
craft and OF his country, will not fail to
give his children each good education
TO fit them for the practical duties oI
life. The state Of the world. and
particularly America, is becoming SC
improved in science and literature, that
those who have not good education
have not a common chance in society
Therefore, as good society is to be
desired next to pure and undeflcd
religion, it is important that the farmer,
children should inherit the blessed
boon.
God speed the plough until the earth
is made paradisical Eden; and every
one have his garden where he can si
under his fig tree and vine none daring
to molest or make afraid.

900 In this fruitless effort to get out Of
their city by railroad without the use Of
extra motive power, ihs project has been
abandoned, at least for the present.
And II Is down this new track that the
people OF Madison propose 10 give the
New Albany and Sandusky company sc-
cess TO their city provided suitable ar
rangements can be made with the NJ. &
|. X. n. Co. for the use OF Il. The out
let towards the Lake will perhaps teup
the valley Of Indian Kentuck, a very
Ohio eight miles above and heads near
Versnilles. AT the mouth ofthis stream
yog are just as netr TO Versailles ss
you would be at Madison. But itis said
the distance may be shortened somewhat
by making a tunnel ofsome 1000 feet
through spur OF the mountain, and thus
reach Indian Kentuck without going To
It's mouth; bot what are the grades and
curvatures on this line we haue not been
able TO ascertain On this svbiect those
who have the matter 10 cha rye. are as
close as the veiled Prophet.
Now these are some OF the diiiiculties .
that must be compromised, before the
resolution adopted by the meeting at Es-
ton can be fully carried out. Will our
friends OF the Register. who offered the
resolution tell US how we shall set about
eaectlng the desired objecti To his
his mind, doubtless, the way Is clear
and easy Of access. But we irankly con-
Tess that our faith is not quite strong
enough to remove mountains, or to 20
through them.

Mr.. EDIroR:-Since your visit to our
place there have some things tran
spired that may be worthy Of note.
The building in which you said the
goat was kept, is now SO far compile
ted that Messrs Irving have removed
their store TO the lower part of it.
And we understand commenced with
a heavy stock Of goods. Persons
wishing TO purchase articles in their
line would do we'll TO call and exam
inc thir stock. The other merchants
Of the place are doing prosperous
business. We believe their motto is
quick sales at small profits.
This is our Election day, and every
thing appears to be passings smoothly
along. We have seen no men in our
streets rceeling under the influence of
alcohol. Nor heard any quarreling, so
that we believe, on the whole, we have
tolerably moral town.
DIR. Dutton the man celebrated for
taking pretty pictures from ugly faces,
has LETT our place, and returned TO
Brookville. We believe the doctor
to be a pretty clever fellow.
But, Mr.. Editor, we feel a little like
quarreling with you for being so par
tial in beslowing your hattery. We
cannot see why you should select that
sturdy son of vulcan to be the sole OBJ
ieet. To confess the truth. we feel
n little insulted. We think you might
have been little more liberal, and
given US all little. However as that
dirty blacksmith has left our place.
we think we may stand some chance
next time, should you be fayoured
with our acquaintance. 1t II were
worth while, We might fall out with
clean water, and good tailors, for

OUR GOVERNOR.

We clip the following notice Of Gov.
Wright fiom the "New Era" the Tem-
perance paper published at Lexingt on:
Gov. WRIGHT OF InpIAxA.-Our
readers have oil heard Of Governor
Wrights visitto our State recently, upon
the. invitation OF Gov. Powell. His
Excellency also accepted the hos FATALITIES
OF Lexington and Louisville. During all
the round OF feasting. Gov. Wright never
tasted any spirituous or NAH liquor, wine
or cider. We have learned, moreover,
from one fully informed in the matter.
that during the five years he has held the
Office Of Governor, no intoxicating drinks
have been usedin the Executive Mansion.
Gov. Wright's visiters must "find their
own liquors." Indiana mar we'll be
proud OF her Governor. How worth y
this conduct in the chief executive Of a
gr eat State--the head of Police. We
fear the pocket Of our own Governor
Is several hundreds OF dollars lighter on
account OF his hospitality during he pasl
winter. IL requires no little courage In
men filling high atations to resist and
contemn theyile custom Of putting the
bottle TO neighbor's mouth.
We would like TO know what the elite
OF Lexington, Frankfort and Louisville,
think OF Gov. Wrights lemperaucel Is
Le not great Hoosierl A Governor

complimentary iestivilsl Monstrousi
N. d. The use ofintoxieating driaks
is becoming uniashionable in the "higher
CIRCLES" OF English society. With
American apes Of English manners, this
fact will weigh more Than ten Bibles.
