Cor EsouGu.-A friend of ours recently
returned from a tour through Northern and
southern Illinois confirms all the statements
hitherto published Of the vast grain crops
now on the ground and being gathered IN
that country. Between st. Louis ana VIM
ccnncs a great deal Of wheat is rot'ing on
the ground. for want of labor or machinery
to secure it. Our informant hailed one
well.to-do old farmer near Carlyle Station,
who. though half dozen plethora stacks
stood guard around his barn, seemed to nave
abandoned twenty or thirty acres OF me

harvest that grant" "Lo-r-d," drawled out
the farmer, looking towards the barn.

genius, and wonderfully happy devel-

q surprisingly intimate union Of the two

fu'onic and the Romanza. II is we'll
own in what relation these two stand TO

supplying in far larger proportion the
F'erial groundwork, the latter spiritua

BINDING APPRENTICES TO SHAKERs.--!t
has been stated in several p1pers that the
Aims House Commissioners in New YORK
have allowed Shaker deputation from New
Lebanon to takell boys and nine glr..s from
Randalls Island, for the purpose OF Incor-
porating them into their community. The
New York Courier denies this, but says the
Commissioners have had under considera-
ton the expediency Of ndent'Irng three or
four particular boys to the Shakers TIL they
are twen,y-one. This the Courier very
properly objects to, and snys:-"lf the Ten
Governors feel burdened with the number
of young paupers on their hands, let them
hunt up Dean Swif's plan for killing off
the superauous young of Ireland and try
that, rather than send boys to New Lebanon
to be turned into living corpses by crushing
every affection and sympathy and instinct
and aspiration ofthcir souls"

the Niagara river by a tunnel $500
feet long. The material TO be PISS ID

THRILLING ADVENTURE.

Rev. Dr. Milburn, Chaplain of the United
States Senate, in lecture upon the early his.
tory, life and manners in the West, recently
delivered in New York, related the following
thrilling Incident
In 1888, or about twenty years after Boone s
first exploration of the country, and whilst Ken
lucky was YET knocking at the door for adms-
sion into the Union, the red man resolved to
make yet another effort to cxiermnate their foe.
A block house, which served the double pur-
pose of fort and dwelling, was the habitatou
of Boone and his companions. Fearing de-
seen, Of the sayages, from various premoniiions
of danger understood only by the experienced
hunter Tho sent two trusty scouts, named Nc
Lellan and White, TO learn if possible the des-
tnation Of the savages. After proceeding some
distance, they assembled bluff, precipitously
steep on tho one side, and fenced by jutiing
rocks on another, whence they had broad and
extended prospect-and on anoiher side ran a
deep AND rapid river, on which side they found
themselves in dangerous proximity to their en-
emy. Beneath them they beheld large num-
Der of squaws and wigmams, the usual indica-
tions of an Indian village, and in the open
space they observed the warriors painted in their
war pattern, evidently showing that their mis-
sion was one Of blood. They determined to
remain and watch the movements of their enc
my, and for this purpose concealed themselves
from observation, till forced from their hiding
place by their water being exhausted, of which
they had but scaniy supply, Mcclellan went
