LIQCoR LAW N MADISON CoUNTY.-The
Commissioners Court was in session last week.
and adjourned without appointing any liquor
agents; so the liquor business is dried up in
this place, as none of the druggists will vio-
late the law.-ARderson Standard.
FoUND DEAD.-The body of man was
found in the canal five or six miles above
this place, one day last week A Jury was
empanneled by Justice Robertson, who found
that the deceased had come to his death by
blows inflicted about the head and face. He

THE Town OF ANDERsoN.-The course of
Anderson is emphatically onward. A spirit
of improvement has seized upon our citizens,
which they have no disposition to wrestle off.
Our streets are to be graded and graveled,
the side walks, or several of them, are to be
curbed, graded and glavelled; the Seminary
will also be completed; and with the addition
of number of new buildings, will materially
add to the beauty of AndeHoD.-AadersoR

The WHEAT CROPs.-Recent examinations
of the growing wheat crop in many portions
of the county, disclose the fact that, in nearly
every location the crop IS. To a greater or less
extent injured by the severe frosts. We hear
of several fields, which, previous to the frosts,
gave promise of abundant yield. that could
now be purchased for one dollar per acre. We
examined one field in the vicinity of town,
and think there is not sufficient left uniniured
to make one-fourth Of an average crop. From
all that We can learn the injury is general
throughout the county.-Lol0ayd County 1rib-
tple.
ESCAPED - David Brott, who was in Gus
tody of the officers prosecuting witness in
the case of the burglary of the Clerks Office,
and also, as one of the principals or accessories
I of robbery, made his escape Thursday night
or next morning early, and has not been
( heard of since The officers in whose custody
/ he was, were keeping him in the second story
of Tyner& Childer's store. He had been UNI

ers, day or two since, he told us that one Of
/ his fields of corn was apparently entirely
killed by the late frosts; but that he immedi-
ately commenced ploughing it, and that since
the rains commenced, the corn had been
growing finely That part Of the field which
he did not get ploughed before the rain, j.
growing little, but does not look anything
like as well rs that where the ground had
been stirred.
We believe the true way for the farmer IL
succeed, under all circumstances, is to give
his crop that labor and care necessary and
proper, even if the ground is n little wet, On
the prospect poor With this labor and care
he may succeed in producing good crop; bu
without, failure is IIidbash Iateli.

THE CRoPs.-Our information from various
parts of Southern Indiana and the neighbor.
ing portions of Illinois in regard to the crops
is very ilattering Nearly double the usua
quantity of wheat has been SOWn and corr
planted in all this extensive agricultural re-
gion. The wheat looks excellent, and there
is every prospect of a very full crop The
corn in some places has been planted three
times on account of the cut worm, but it is
growing well. We venture 10 say that never
before was there so close attention paid to the
proper cultivation of corn. The work is be-
ing done well, and the farmers will find
themselves well repaid for their unusual care
in the superiority of their crops The grass
es are growing finely. Some of the farmer
have already been cutting their clover to feed
with. In consequence of the good prospects
of grass, hay has dropped down within few
weeks from so per ton to S12, and it is hard
to sell at that. We see no reason why Their,
will not be most abundant crops Of grain al

A DAY IN PosEY On Monday of this week

stood were to have a jubilee in honor of the
result of the Virginia election, and 10 have

rs one pleases.
The people were late coming in, but in the
evening there was quite n large crowd assem-
bled in the school house, where they listened
to a most excellent speech from Senator

township for the 31S majority they CAV. him
