Ths kEnqnIrer-Antt-Kn Nothing
Meeting-OId Line Democracy Adam
dOned-Grcat Fall I'm Real Estate.
The thing called the Evansville Enquirer,
which assumes to dispense Democracy to the
people of our city and county, appears to be
fattering itself that it has perpetrated a
whitening and bighting criticism upon the
position of the Journal. The hitherto Old
Line organ came out yesterday under an en-
tire new stand of colors, and makes an awk-
ward bow to its readers and patrons as the
anti-Know Nothing champion of all crea-
ton, from Brazil TO Kamptskatka. We
are invited to "look at our position" and are
told that there are Germans, Irish and Eng
ishmen now living here, who were citizens
of the place before we ever saw Indiana.
We are told that to these very men we are
indebted for our situation in Evansville, &c.
We will inform our contemporary that we
have often reviewed our past history. and
the history of TIE Journal under our drec-
ton, and we are fully sensible Of the obliga.
placed US under to them. We can further
assure our neighbor that we feel no uneasi-
ness at his silly attempts to criticise our po-
sition as a man or as an editor. And if he
chooses to contrast our character and stand
ing in society with that of his own, or the
position of the Journal with that of the En-
qurer. we shall yet feel no cause for alarm.
We have no dirty Billings gate to vomi'
out against your faultless ticket (D Such
epi,hets as drunken Irish and dirty Dutch u
are peculiar only to the columns of the En-.
quirer.
The great bug bear about the depreciation
of Real Estate in Evansville is the shallow.
est piece of demagcguism that "Shalow
pan Windy" Imagination could invent. We
are willing that our contemporary shall
make all the capital for his ticket out of thi:
humbug, that he can find in it. To any mar
with half business idea even under as thick
Uranium as that of the Enquirer editor, the
) depreciation of real estate will not appear SC
monstrous after all-and only in keeping
with the general falling off in trade through
out the country. If in consequence ofths
liquor law, real estate owners are disposed
to sell property at deprecated prices :or the
purpose of finding locality more congenia
to tn cir notions of liberty, we have no doub
they can well be spared, and wish all sucl
as much success as they have realized here.

FIELD BEANS A PROFITABLE CRoP.-In our
own experience we have found no crop more
profitable, than the common white bean. It
requires little more care than corn; and all
ways finds ready market at high prices.
There is no product of the soil which con-
tains as much nourishment, pound for pound
as this. The straw makes excellent winter
food for sheep. We have found the smaller
kinds to be superior to those of larger size.
Beans require dry qrdrm soil. We have
raised them where it was so dry and sandy,
scarcely any thing else would grow. Our
best bean crops have been raised on thin
sandy soil so filed with stones that il was
exceedingly difficult to pillow it at all, and
where the earth over the limestone rocks was
no where more than four inches deep. One
acre of such ground we planted with common
white beans for ten years successfully, and
never failed of getting aremunerative crop,
and often had a very profitable one. This
plot was plowed, planted and hoed, at odd
spells, when it was so wet that no other
ground could be worked.

OLA most singular robbery took place at
Dunkrk on Friday. A gentleman BY the
name of Field, said to belong to the city of
New York, arrived at Dunkirk on Thursday
evening, and took lodging at the Loder
House. On Friday morning he went into
the barber's shop to get shaved and took his
seat in the 'chair'for that purpose. This is
al. he remembers about it till the expiration
of half an hour, when he recovered his con-
seriousness, and found himself robbed of about
$1,000, mostly Of notes on the Chemu0g
Canal Bank. The name OF the barber is Hall;
he has fled. Chloroform is supposed to have
been the agency which the rascal used.

seated at small desks, not more than tw o

From the Indiana Farmer
AgricElfU raj Fairs

ME.sas EDIToRs. In addition to what you
have sad in reference 10 our County Far,
wish once more to urge TIE farmers and me-
chanics OF Old Wayne to do their utmost 10
make it entirely the most interesting one that
the natives have ever beheld. Ii we do
not have grand display, the sin will lie al
our own doors. for most assuredly Providence
never smiled on more bounteous crops than
we have been favored with the present season.
Grains, fruits, and, in short, vegetables OF all
descriptions, have never in the memory OF
man been more abundant.
And III view of these facts, let US one and
all take up to tie Fair an offering 10 the shrine
of progress, in the shape OF the best fruits of
our labor.
Now, what say you, VIII YOU and your
wives, and sons and daughters prepare some
thing for the + air? or will You do as most Of
you have done heretofore. go to the Fair to see
what others do. and find fault with the same,
when YOU have not single article on e1hlbl-
ton If you do, | hope YOU will have the
good sense not to say one word derogatory TO
the Fair Keep your lips sealed, and do not
disgust those who are doing the best they can,
by saying, as you have done at former Fairs,
III | had jest none that there'd been no
better stock here than those. | could have beat
them out all holcr,'' LA, me, SIGH carpet
my Sally has huff better and prettler one at
home, and didn't think of fetchin' It.
Shame on such criticism. | say. No one
should be allowed such privileges on the
ground. under the pains and penalties OF being
expelled from the premises. Let higher am
bition inspire US all, and my word for It.
Wayne county never dreamed of such Fair
as we will see at Centreyille, shortly.

WETTING BRICKs-As it is important that
every one engaged in building should be well
informed in regard to the durability of ma.eri-
ais. we publish the following from an exchange
paper
Very few people. or even builders, are
aware of the advantage of wetting bricks be
fore laying them, or if they are aware Of it,
they do not practice it; for of the many houses
now in progress in this city, there are very
few in which wet brick are used. \ wall
twelve inches thick, built of good mortar with
bricks well soaked is stronger in every re
spect than one sixteen inches thick built dry.
The reason of this is, that if the bricks are
saturated with water, they will not abstract
from the mortar the moisture which is neces
sary TO its crystazatioh; and on the contrary.
they will unite chemically with the mortar,
and become as solid as rock. On the other
hand, If the bricks are put up dry, they imme-
diately take all the moisture from the mortar,
leaving it too dry to harden, and the conss-
quence Is, that when a building of this de
scription is taken down, tumbles down of
its own accord the mortar from it is like so
much sanl.-I Scientific American.

it should be put into deep narrow dish, and

and retarded by depression of temperature.
At the usual temperature of The dairy, 80 de

rise in thirty-six hours; but at 20 degrees 1t
will perhaps rise in half that time; and when
the milk is kept near the freezing point, the
cream will rise very slowly, because II be

the milk is less rich than in dry and warm,
and on this account more cheese is obtained
in cold than in warm, though not In thundery
weather The season has its effects. The
milk, in spring, is supposed TO be the best

in summer it is best suited for cheese; and in
autumn the butter keeping is better than that
