X The Patent Office Report speaks of ten
different breeds of horses in Russia. Some OF
them are hardy breeds, which, it is thought,
might be introduced into the United States.
The horse in the northe1ly province Of Arch
angel is described as quite small in size, but
very strong. 1t is satisfied with very coarse
food, even with moss, never tasting oats which
do not ripen in that region.

rs We observe that Spencer county,
whose lands and Improvements are valued at
one million three hundred and fifty four thous-
and dollars, and the personal property at one
million one hundred and twenty-onc thousand
dollars, and whose tax is about thirty-one
thousand dollars, has delinquent list of more
than ten thousand dollars, being one third of
the whole amount Of tax. As he amount OF
those returned are for very small sums, the
inference is that nearly one half the persons
taxed suffer the penalties of Delinquency,
which amount on small sums to near 100 per
cent. In looking over long delinquent lists in
other countes.we observe the sums due, sell
dom exceed ten dollars,-and they are nearly
all for taxes on forty and eighty acre tracts
or less quantities. 1t is evidsnt from these
facts, it must be the poor who suffer from
this internal system of collection.

MORE FRAUDs.-Counterfeit post notes of
the denomination of five and ten dollars, on
the Exchange Bank, New York, payable at
nine and twelve months, are in circulation in
the West.
Bogus quarter dollar pieces, of the date Of
1919, are abroad in great numbers. 1t is said
that peculiarly white appearance of the coun-
terfeit is sufficient to reveal the fraud to the
scrutinizing eye.

against cnnt;r,,sfr1g to torture the old dame in
"the manner aforesaid, and to recommend the
"road from Mt. Vernon TO GRANVILLE as the
every thing to effect its speedy discontinue
"ance"
The editor has mistaken the law and course
of nature. 1t is not the direction Of rivers,
distance, nor local natural advantages, that
draw trade to a given point. Trade is not
governed By physical law, but by mental and
moral forces. 1t is just as unnatural for trade
to 20 to an indolent, unenterprising people,
as 1T would be for 1lat-boat-to float UP
stream. Natural positions may aid the ac~
tive and courageous, but they do nothing for
a people that does not use them, but stand as
a reproach to them The people Of Norfolk
think it very unnatural while they have the
best harbor in the world, that all the trade OF
the Carolinas and Virginia should pass them
and go to the city up to the head Of the
bay, situated on a little river that can hardly
float a schooner; or 20 ON 900 miles to New
York. Yet all the world but Norfolk, per-
ceived all this to be perfectly natural; in per
feet obedience to cause and effect. So we
have long thought, it was very unnatural
that our corn and pork sLonld go up to Pitts
burg to assist in manufacturing iron that
was carried past our wharves. and which after
it had performed the long voyage up the riv-
er, and consumed our products in the labor APP
piled to it, in its new form, it should come
back to us for a market 4
But all these apparently unnatural 5Fents
will be continued till we get the enterprise,
the mechanical skill, the financial credit, and
all other species of moral attraction to draw
the trade to us. 1t would be most unnatural
for it to come here, till it was arrested by
these forces. The people of the South have
been talking for generation about the I'M
naturalness of The course Of trade that takes
all their raw materials to the North and to
Europe to be manufactured, and then sent
back to them for consumption, taxed with the
cost Of Northern and English food, at double
the worth Of such food at home. But such i
the regular course of trade, and no change il
the physical condition of things viii alter it
till there is a change in the minds and mode
of thinking Of the people.

~ The citizens Of Vincennes are alarmed
at the effect Of a very common error and one
that does more injury to our growing towns
than we are aware of AS soon as labor and
business are attracted to spot, the holders
Of land most irratonaly inflated with the
idea of its great value, and the moment de-
mand is created for the property, they check
or destroy it by unreasonable claims. La
Dor and business; which comes to a. place.
gives all the value to real estate it has, and
it is simple Justice that labor and business,
that give the value, should have the profit or
q good share gift. - But old GFipes who holds
the lands want not only what the lands is at
present worth; but he demands all the value
that labor may add to it fer ten years-in the
shape of what he calls its prospective value
1t is a very profitable mode of converting air
castles into the substantial values Of good
notes or dollars and cents. If these old gem
tlemen don't build air castles, they sell them
to good profit as fast as they are set up by
others.
> The Vncenncs Gazette says, it is intma-
ted that the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad
; machine Shops, which it is proposed to locate
| at Vincennes, are about to be driven away on
, account Of the high price asked for suitable
grounds. We do not know upon what foun-
dation the intimation rests; but if it has any
substantial basis at ali, it deserves the atten-
r ton of our citizens But we must say in adj
: vance, that the property holder who would
= by exorbitant demands drive away such an
y establishment as is proposed to be erected
/ here by the railroad company, is unworthy, in
0 the sight Of all enlightened people to own an
r inch of Gods earth We don't think he can
o show good title, a clear, honest bargain
= in its purchase. The narrow minded feeling
d that dictates such a course IS precisely the
: same that animated the Jew, when he de,
s handed the pound Of flesh; and allow us &c
assure you, Mr.. Shylock, that your cupidity
will in this instance, overleap itself, and de-
i feat all your hopes OF magnificent speculatons
1t In this case, it will not only ruin your spccu

;. the town. d. For our own part; rather thar
: these machine shops shonld be erected at an

Gil to buy suitable grounds, even if they haC
