TuRSIPs deteriorate very materially by
being propagated year after year from the
same seed. Originally introduced into Eng
land from Flanders, their native country,
they have been propogated in the former
country for two hundred years and are found
to be peculiarly adapted TO the soil. But
here they degenerate aud the seed should
occasionally be imported from England
When first introduced the leaves are very
small while the root is large and nutritious.

Messrs. Burrows & Prettyman. we arc
informed, have in contemplation the erect
ing Of a spacious brick steam mill on the
site Of TIC old Esna. retaining the present
mill for warehousing purposes. They viii
incur an expense in the operation OF some
Q25,OO0 10 $4,000.
Now, the question suggests ITSELF had
not the city better purchase the grounds oc-
,curicd nv these buildings before more ex-
pensiye ones are erected. That this ground
will eventually be required by the city as
wharf ia admitted, while at the same time it
10 equally evident. that If its value be en-
HANGED by erecting upon il more costly
buildings, it viii be placed further, if not
entirely, without the ability of the city to
purchase it. The above firm. we under
stand. are now, willing to dispose Of il to
the city and We presume it can be obtained
of them at reasonable rate.
We make the suggestion at the request Of
numbeIof our fellow citizens and hope
that our Corporation may take some action
upon 1t The importance of the subject
appeals to, our Municipality for consider
alton, and the changes that will soon be
made on the premises, for immediate and
decisive action. Can we not hope then

Arres, q. c connterfsiter.

We had refrained from saying anything
with regard to the arrest at Chicago OF
Nelson briggs. formerly a citizen of this
place, for passing counterfeit money, in the
hope that something might trsnspire to
show his innocence of the crime with which
he is charged, but as nothing has turned up
this Ear 10 mitigate his offence, and as other
papers in the locality have referred to the
matter, we publish below, from the Chicago
Journal, the most lucid account we have
seen Of his arrest. Mr. briggs will be re-
membered by our citizens as thick-set man
acting in the capacity of clerk for Mr.. Guth-
RE, to whom he is related by marriage
when the old gentleman did business in lie
Claire row. He will be better recollected,
however. for the freedom with which he bet
on the last Presidential election, especially
by those who by betting with him lost on
the occasion:-
IMPORTANT ARREST or A CoUNTERFEIrER
$50 600 al b. gas captured. DID, putty Sher-
ia Bulkiey arrested yesterday in the street,
a man named Nelson briggs, of whom he
had been in search some hours, having learn
ed that such person had arrived in this
city for the purpose of circulating counter
felt money. briggs arrived here on Mon
day night by the r. 1. Railroad, and put up
at the Jervis House near the R. |. depot -
On his person, and contained in satchel
in his possession at the time he was taken
into custody, were found counterfeit bills to
the amount of nearly MiSty.tsDnsand dollars
They were mostly Upon good banks and
genuine ones aisered by the splitting and
pastng process to tens, twenties and fiities
Doubtless the few days he has been here.

his false Issues, and our public will do well
to be on their guard The larger share,
however, are in the officers Lands and are
mostly completed work Of the description
named. briggs, or Briggs, or Riggs, as he
called himself al iferent times, was indict-
ed BY the Graud Jury, before their adjourn
ment yesterday. and is good for term at
Alton. II is hardly to be believed that he
is more than an agent of some operative
gang whose haun.s we hope may yet be dis
covered. A few such arrests IS this and
the late one at Cleveland will thin out large

who prefer to an honest livelihood the pre-
