1t is strange to contemplate, now-a-
days, the march of intellect as evinced
by the advance in science and invention
when compared with the plcthorie and
matter of fact times of our grandfathers
(requiscant in paee); the newest and
grandest of these evidences of advance
ment is, doubtless, the projected connec-
ting link between the old world and the
new, by the electric wire; when children
we read with amazement the wondrous
account in the "Arabian Nights" Of the
Carpet that conveyed the three brothers
instantaneously to any point they
pleased, this our worthy nurses assured
us was only a fable, as indeed it is likely
to remain, the laws of dynamics putting
a veto to any such Cm) possibility, still
our revered instructors before alluded to,
would have come to a similar conclusion,
had they been told of the easy transmits
sion of a message; in the space of an
hour or two, very nearly over the dis
lance of the earth's circumference, yet
this, nevertheless, will shortly be done.
But the humiliation of space is only
one feature in this "March ofIntellect,"
there are other and equally extraordi-
nary evidences of al age of progress,
and among them are the appropriated in

be their apparent effect in the removal

"KEMP's VEGETA BILE WORM LoZEN-

"sTRAws HOW WHICH WAY THE WIND

AT an election for Justice of the
Peace, held in this Township, on We'd
nesday the Sd inst, the Democracy
elected their candidate by a majority of
90 votes, there being thee candidates
in the ield-a Know Nothing, Black
Republican and Democrat. Know
Nothingism in every shape and form
has became obnoxious, and Black Re-
publicanism and "bleeding Kansas" has
all oozed out in this county, and Demo-
cracy is on the road to prosperity, and
the above result is but an inkling of
what we intend to do in Preble county
next fall. Heretofore this Township
polled against US from IS to 125 votes,
and the result has kind of "kertRumir-
ed" the opposition, and bids to "buy out"
have passed between the Know Moth
inss and Black Republicans, which sale
we presume will be effected before the
October election. ALI we ask is a good
ticket, and we believe we can elect it
despite the opposition. We hope our
neighbor of the Register, will not account
for their defeat, by saying that "twenty
thousand remained at home !"

n@-A year or two since the hemp
market, in consequence of the Russian
war, was considerably excited, and a
speculative movement was the conse-
quence. One merchant in Boston, who
operated extensively, found himself a
loser of $4,000. The same merchant
recently embarked in the sugar business.
the price of which, in consequence OF
short crops, combinations, &C., has
nearly doubled in a year, and he now
finds himself a gamer of $50, 00O-ex-
actly the sum he lost in the hemp spec
ulation.

The Coming wheat Crop.

At the present time, when the rates
for all kinds o provisions are almost at
famine prices, and in some parts of the
country the old stock appears to be ex-
hausted, it is a matter of more than US
ual concern to know what is the pros
pect of the coming wheat crop through
out the West. A poor harvest would,
we fear, bring unparalleled distress to a
large class of our population, who would
find the means of a comfortable living
beyond their reach. We have examined
our exchanges from Virginia, Kentucky,
Tennessee and Indiana; with much soil
citude, and they are nearly all sanguine
of a large wheat crop-thc most impor-
tant bread staple. In regard to Illinois,
the Chicago Times scys:
"In this State the quantity of wheat
that will be raised on lands in cultiva-
ton last year will be fully as great as
the last years crop, leaving the new
lands to add their first crop to the ag-
grcgatc amount. In middle Illinois and
f rther up n r,h it s true that large
quantities of winter wheat have been
destroyed, but destruction has not been
general; nor indeed half as extensive as
has been represented. In many places
fields, in which the wheat had been re-
garded as killed, have put on the green
coats, andare tiourfshinS.-F+is true the
fields will not yield in the proportion
that they were expected to have done.
still they will yield half crops. Others,
which have escaped the frost, will yield
greater than an average. In lower
Illinois the wheat will be allin head be-
fore the 1st of June, and the looses will
prove not only small in extent, but very
small in proportion to the vast amount
