A NOVEL ESTERPRIsK.--The Rev, John 7.
Campbell Of Nashville, Tennessee, has struck
on new plan for an advertising medium
He proposes TO issue in the City Of \. York,
Book got up in the best style with editorial
notices Of the various cities and towns of the
West and advertisements of first class houses
in the several departments Of business. The
project seems to meet with general favor, and
Mr.. W. S. Spencer, the agent, has met with
abundant success in bis canvass amongst the
Western cities. He is now in keokuk, and
we commend him TO the patronage of our
business houses.
The card Of ssThe American City Advertl-
ser" will be found in another column.
''H. II. & H."-These initials will be ex-
planned by reference TO the advertisement of
Huston, Hawkins Huston, which, though
a tolerably full catalogue of their large stock,
does not give SO good an idea of il as an ac-
tual view Of their crowded rooms. This is
a comparatively new firm in the wholesale
grocery trade, and are already doing an
extensive business.
DRNTAL.--We call attention to the card OF
DR.. Hicks. He has removed into his new
building on Second street. HIS rooms are
fitted up with neatness and taste, and he care
fully avoids display OF formidable instru-
ments and other appliances of his profession
so suggestive of pain and torture to the mind
OF the timid and nervou. sufferer. His work
speaks for itself, or, a, least, very essentially
aids others to.speak for il.
CHRIsrxAs BALL.--We are informed that
the Keokuk Guards are making preparations
to give the finest Military Ball on Chistmas

Glasses OF Property, Year 1854 Year 1859.

1t will be perceived by the above,
that the agricultural interest furnishes
to the State, in the single item of lire
stock, much larger basis of taxation
and revenue than is afforded by mer-
chandise, manufacturing and brokerage
combined. If there is inequality and
injustice in this, effective measures
should bc adopted BY the Legislature at
its noxt session, to compel moro equal
assessment. On the other hand, if these
several classes of property arc fully and
honestly represented by tho amounts at
which they are assessed, it is proper that
the public shall prepare itself to repel
efforts from any quarter to give interests
which the official figures prove to be of
minor magnitude, moro than their fair
proportionate share of influence over the
legislative policy of the State
A careful analysis of the State taxes
assessed on the grand duplicate of the
year 1854, shows that 65a per cent. of
tae aggregate amount was paid By real
estate. The proportion assessed on 9th
er classes of property was as follows
