1.-THE flying rumors gathered as they rolled;
Scarce any tale was sooner heard than told;
And all who told il added something new,
And all who heard it made enlargement too
On every ear il spread-on every tongue Il

And il the person telling the story, should
chance to hear it lwenty.four hours after,
he would swear it was entirely new to him.
Some persons are marvelously gifted with
spirit Of imparting news, and will never
be guilty of detracting from its Importance.

PHILADELPHIA. ian. 13

Philadelphia, Jan. 13.
The watchman Of the Farmers Bank,
Mount Holly, Jersey, was found this morn
ing at six O'Clock, gagged and tied in the
Bank. He says that on entering the bull
ding at o'clock last evening, he was seiz
ed, bound and gagged by four men who
had previously entered. He remained in
that situation all night.
The robbers were in the bank from in
the evening until this morning, but did
not succeed in getting the vault open, nor
did they carry any money away with
them.
Philadelphia, Jan. 16.
Gov. Pollock was inaugurated. In his
inaugural he slludes to civil and religious
liberty, freedom Of speech and press. as the
birth-right of American citizens, and no
ponti6cal or royal edict can destroy them.
Where these rights are assumed by mad
ambition, then the ballot box rebukes the
wrong and vindicates the freedom of man.
He is opposed to the improper extension
Of banking privileges. but will not hesitate
to sanction the renewing Of solvent banks
He argues the necessity of the sale of the
Public Lands. Alludes to the defeat Of
the prohibition law. and considers i: the du.
ty Of the Legislature to consider what ac'
ton is necessary to correct the evils of in
temperance.
Recommends the passage Of stringent
license law. The repeal of the Missouri
Compromise is termed violation Of III,
pledged faith of the country, and deserving
of stern rebuke. He adv coates protectior
to American industry, improvement of riv
ers and harbors, the passage of a judiciou
homestead bill, reform in the naturaliza
tion laws. and the prevention Of the emf
grafton of foreign paupeis and convic.s

to this notion, and we agree:

it is humbug, and the first amendment

We copy the above from the Cincinnati
Enquirer. We have yet to see the 6rst
man who has any knowledge Of public af.

Of returning to annual sessions. But this
is not the only bumbug that found its way
into the new constitutional o. S. Journal.

Eg An interesting state of things pre-
walls in the Michigan Penitenliary. The
Detroit Tribune states that the convicts
have been engaged in the manufacture Of
bogus money for the last few weeks, and
perhaps for the last few years! The money
is put in circulation by the agency Of man
named Jones. who has been in the habit Of
visiting the prison for that purpose. A
warrant was procured for his arrest, but
obtaining hint Of she proceedings, he sue
ceeded in making bis escape. The Tri-
bune thinks that if the State Prison has
has been converted into mint for coming
bogus money,it is high time change in
its government should be made Demo
crdt.
About as interesting state Of things"
as the above has prevailed in an institution
Of similar character in our own State
The State Journal says if report speaks
true there are matters connected with the
management of the Ohio Penitentiary, un-
der the administration Of the late Warden
A. G. Dimmock, that would put to shame
the Michigan Penitenliary. Two of the
officers OF the institution have been arrest
ed for appropriating the goods of the State
TO their own use. 1t is also said that the
arrested officers talk rather mysterously
about the late destructive fire that occur
red there. The Journol further says:
"It is not known that bogus coin was ev.
er manufactured in the Ohio PenitentiaIy
but it is believed that the counterteiting Of
bank notes has been carried on there to q
large extent"

The Crops.


Our information from various
parts of Southern Indiana and
the ncighboring portions ofIlln-
OILS in regard to the crops is very
flattering. Nearly double the
usual quantity of wheat has been
sown and corn planted in all this
great agricultural regoin. fhe
wheat looks excellent, and there
is every prospect of a full crop.
The corn in some places has been
planted three times on account OF
the cut worm, but it's growing
well. We venture to say that
never before was there so close
attention paid to the proper
cultivation Of corn. the work is
being done well, and the farmers
will find themselves well repaid
for their unusual care, in the
superiority of their crops. The
grasses are growing finely. Some
of'the farmers have already been
cutting their clover to feed with.
In consequence Of the good pros
poets Of grass, hay has dropp-
ed down within few weeks
from S22 per ton to Sl2, and il
is hard to sell at that. We see
no reason why there will not be
most abundant crops all over
the country. We can vouch fol

Burs by the road side.

FRIEND GooDwIs:-It is quite COM
mon 10 see burs and beggar's lice grow
undisturbed along the highways;
which to say the least Of it looks bad,
and is truly annoying to all persons
driving stock, particularly sheep.
Generally speaking, the evil origin
ates because Of careless farming, and
I Therefore suggest the propriety Of
each farmer taking upon himself the
cleansing Of one-half of all roads
passing along his line. and all of such
roads as pass through his farm, from
such pests as burs, beggar's lice, null
len, DC.
At first thought, the matter may ap-
pear of trifing import, but should il
ever fall to your lot to be necessiated
to pass along road thickly strewed
with burs and beggar's lice, with a
prize lot of sheep, l doubt not you will
fall in with my proposition.
