Winter Grain.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, in speaking
Of the condition ofthe winter grain, states
that many inquiries are daily made among
farmers as 10 The effects which the recent
heavy bed Of snow has had upon it. Some
entertain fears that there may be coating
of ice on the top of the ground, sufficien;
to smother the grain others think the
ice is not sufficient to injure it, and the
snow will effectually protect il from the
cold. We understand that where the
ground under the snow has been examin.
ed i, has been found to be frozen to the
depth Of three or four inches only. The
snow keeps The earth warm.

Wheat.

The Alton Illinois Courier, specializing
in regard to The prospec! of wheat. says
The crop of last year is not all marketed,
and that part Of il which has left the pro-
ducers' hands is far from being in the
hands Of the consumers. II anticipates a
very fine crop the coming season, both on
account of The increased number Of acres
sown, and the favorable winter for the
grain, uninterrupted cold weather and
snow being good for the grain. The Chi
cagO Journal says The snow which
has fallen during the past sixty days is
equal to five inches of manure. People
capable of estimating matters, imagine
that the wheat crop of 1856 will be the
/ largest ever harvested in this country. To
estimate the value of the snow upon the
ground at ten millions of dollars, would be
low figure. The Peoria Press says the
quantity Of grain in store in that city is
/ 400 900 bushels. |, adds 1.-The coun'
try is still filed with grain. and every
day The receipts are increasing. Wepre'
sumo there is not town in Central Hi
nois, nor between Chicago and ST. Louis,
that can show as good record Of thelr
winter transactions as Peoria" These
speculatons and facts have an importan
bearing upon prices.

The Record OF a Triumph.

Consolation for the Sufering-
There is no little consolation in the thought
that, however the imposior may flourish
for season, he cannot long continue ia
deIude mankind. How many men con-
/ trive 10 acquire a brief and tlashy rePuta-
ton, and then sink into disrepule and OBJ
hvion This is especially true of the
pretenders 10 medical skill, who, in an
age when diseases abound, seek 10 In
veigle themselves into the confidence OF
the public, and to impose upon 1t with
their noxious noslrums. We confess
that. wears ago, when we first heard oil
The universal celebrity of professor Hoo
Iloway, we dislrusled his lofty claims, and
artoga,ed TO ourselves superiority oI
discernment which would not allow him
to en,rap our judgement. Most heartily
do we beg his pardon for the unjust i'm
putdtion. A careful study of his system
convinced us that we were indeed mlsIa-
ken, and that the world, TO do him JUS
tee, should Immediately, as it undoubled'
I ~ will hereafter, rank him foremost
among its benefactors. He has solved
the mystery of human diseases, and
proved that all medical treatment, from
the time of Hunter, has been based upon
! false premises. Jenner did not effect a
greater revolution in the method OF deal
ing with the smallpox, than DR.. HoIIo-
way has done in the ordinary medical
routine of the present day.
The human blood is not mere fluid,
coursing through the veins and arteries,
and parlaking of the mere qualities of OH
er fluids. Ii s---slarlIIng as the Statement,

words, ''the life Of man" All physiol-
oglcal diseases, such as indigestion, de-

a large majority OF epidemic and endemic
diseases have their origin, or, al least their
exciting cause in the impure state OF the

cry has given Iuslre to Professor HolIu-
ways name, lranscendiug the renown OF
heroes and statesmen. We do not won
der at the great fame he has acquired in
Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. We
rejoice thai h. has visited our own coun-

much endowed with, display ed upon tits
occasion. Never have we witnessed
more enthusiasm manifested on such an
occasion. The Brass Band, lead by the
accomplished Bugler, Mr.. john Girls

overheard gentleman remark that he had
heard many different Bands in various cl-
lies Of the Union, and some of the most
celebrated musicians, and never, in all his
life, heard persons who were better skill
ed in the musical science than upon this
occasion. The music by the String Band
was also excellent. The Sable Greys'
attired in disguised dress, male exceed
ingy good music, and acted their differ
enl parts very well, accompanied with
much mirth and fun, after which the large
audience was dismissed in loud applause,
and all repaired to their different homes
highly delighted, expressing much salts

heard. On the following evening another
entertainment was given 10 full house.
