~ 1t was reported in Cincinnati on
Wednesday, that the Chamber OF Commerce
in that city had received telegraph report
that Duncan, Sherman & Co., of New York,
were in trouble. Messrs. D., S. d. Co., have
the largest capital and the most extensive
private resources of any private bankers in
the country. 1t is hardly possible that they
can be involved. Their failure would be an
event of more consequence, and give great
err shock to commercial credit, than the tail
ure of two or three concerns like the Trust
Company.
sit speaks volumes" in favor of the sta
bility and resources Of the Cincinnati conf
mercial community, that not one failure OF
importance has followed the explosion of the
Trust Company, one of its chief resources fol
banking and exchange facilities.

A SHOOTING MATcH.-An attempt of two
distinguished gentlemen to shoot each other
came off at the New York Hotel on Wednes-
day morning. 1t seems that during q politi-
cal conversation in one of the sitting rooms,
some pretty severe things were said by a
gentleman from Louisiana to Isaac v. Fow-
Ter, Esq, Postmaster of the city of New York,
who retorted sharply, at which the gentle
man from Louisiana drew pistol and fred
at Fowler, who was supposed by the specta-
tors to be unarmed. Fowler, however, at
once drew forth pistol and returned the fire,
but fortunately neither shot took effect
Those present interfored, and ultimately the
police coming up, took both belligerents off
TO the station house to be locked up. News
of the affair was soon carried to the friends
OF the parties, and they were released, made
friends, and had a good time, being alike
gratifed at the close of the affair.

LEGATION of an Agricultural paper, at Hender-

Screen River Farmer" Mr.. Earnhart, who
has had experience as an editor, viii be aided
by an association of intelligent practical far
mers. Science and art are now indicating
their claims to consideration in Agriculture
as we'll as in other pursuits, and the days
when book-farming were sneered at, are past.
The farmer who does not provide himselfwith
the means of keeping up with the improve
fnents of the day, will exhibit his deficiencies
in his farms and crops, and will soon feel it
in his pockets. No region of country needs
arousing to knowledge of the great i'm
provements in the process of farming more
than the Agricplturalists en- the Lower Ohio,
and about these parts in particular. The
Green Farmer will have q most fertile and
almost au unbroken field to cultivate in, Ag-
ricultural Science and improved Art. There
are thousands of old stumps of prejudice
and fence corners filled with the briars and
weeds of evil habits, for it to eradicate--and
an unbounded Wilderness of ignorance to
clear up. 1t has the labors of long life be-
fore it, and we wish it vigorous and stur-
dy arm to accomplish its duty ;and an
abundant harvest in the end to crown Its
enterprise. q 30 % r
/ As the agricultural interests on both sides
Of the river are alike, the benefit of the pub

ought to unite in extending its usefulness

the Green River Farmer may become the me
dunn of cementing the bonds ofgood neigh
borhood, and fellow citizenship, which have
always existed along our borders; anC

@ One of the prisoners confined in the
Jail came near making his escape day or
two since. He had made perfect key from

ened it in a very ingenious manner with
strips of iron. The Sheriff suspecting what
was going on, made a close examination OF
the cell and found the key. 1t fitted the lock,
and the fellow was only waiting favorable
opportunity to be of. He has since been
chained.

The MORMON ALPHABET is not a new in
vention for their exclusive use, as Mt first
stated, but is the phonetic alphabet, which is
coming into use more or less in every section
Of the country. Two or three good phono-
graphic reporters are in Utah, and the ser
mons which appear in the Deseret News are
reported by Phonography. Phonotypy is
now taught as means of learning to read
our ordinary print in a number of schools in
Ohio and Massachusetts. In Utah it is
about to be introduced for its own sake, and
the power ofthe Elders win, no doubt, cause
IL to be generally adopted, to the ultimate
exclusion Of the old type. s.f-u
