Fifteen miles further on is Centropolis,
already well known as thriving Free
State town. The country between the
Agency and Centropolis, excepting the In
dian lands, is well settled and improving
fast. Most of it has been taken up this
year and consequently but small crops
will be realized; but it promises fair for
the future. From Centropolis we came
on to Piety Hi. the residence of our es-
teemed friend, E. w. Bennet. We found
him manufacturing molasses from the
Chinese sugar cane; he has made very
superior article, far preferable to the New
Orleans molasses. Without doubt the
domestic will take the place of the i'm
ported molasses after another year. He
has made no sugar.

tember l1th, 1855, by Z. Plummer and J. T. Rol-
lins, practical farmers of Dearborn COUNTY, Indi-
ana.
The Subscriber believes that in presenting this
Corn Planter to the public, that he offers to them
the best article of the kind ever before intro
duced to their notice. The simplicity of its con
struction, the perfection with which itperforms
its work and its little liability to get of ORDER
together with the expedition and consequent
saving of labor effected in the use of it, all re-
commend it as being machine pre-eminently
adapted to the planting of Corn in the broad and
fertile pTairicS of the West. Where ever exhib-
ited. at the different Agricultural Fairs through
out the Country. it has never failed to obtain the
Premium over all competitors. 1t took the

Advertising.

Advertise and give the world a sign
that you are not rusting Systematic ad-
vertising is seed sown in good ground to
the business man and the merchant from
which they will in due season reap rich
and abundant harvest Few persons have
pursued such course for any length of
time without having had cause to be thank
full for what they at first, perhaps, half in
clined to believe money thrown away,
such men have grown rich, and their bus
iness has widely extended, while their
less enterprising neighbors have dreamed
on; and in the end found themselves Just
about where they commenced. Wake up
all ye sluggards, and let the world know
who and where you are. He who neg
lects advertising his business in his local
paper, not only robs himself of his fair
advantages, but bestows the spoils on his
rival.

other fixtures.
The quality of the stock used in my plows is
not equalled by any establishment in the West,
and the plows are finished in a very superior
style.
Having been engaged for eighteen years in the
manufacture of plOws for in the Western

Delaware as a Free State.

The Independent has investigated the
history and statistics of slavery in Della
ware. 1t is found that the per centage
of slaves in the population of that State,
not half that of the other Southern States
at any period, has steadily diminished at
every census from fifteen per cent. in 1880
TO two and half per cent. in 1850. The
whole number of SHAREHOLDERS in the State
is now only SOC, and of those only twenty
possess from ten to twenty slaves, and
472 have less than FIVE. The pro-slavery
attitude of the State, and the existence of
slavery there at all, are due solely TO the
corrupt combination of political parties.
