We paid a flying visit to NJ Pleasant Friday.
II was our FIRST visit, and We might as well &C.
knowledge, that We we're agreeably surprised in
looking Il our thrifty and growing neighbor.-
We were prepared to zoe pretty place. But
We did not expect to find, in so young an inland
town, such 6ne public aud private buildings
such large and substantial churches, equalling
the best In this city-6ne and commodious ho-
tels-good business houses--and evidences of
wealth and cultivated taste, everywhere visible
In the appearance Of private residences and
their surroundings.
Mt. Pleasant is undoubtedly the finest and
most promising inland town In Iowa. Could we
have spared tho time, VIC should have made
longer stay and more thorough examination,
which we may do at some future time. For the
present we shall only mention few matters
which presented Themselves At frat glance The
fne brick throo story building North ofthc dc
pot 10 the Iowa Wesleyan University. It enjoys
IN excellent reputation and is supposed to be
one Of the bess institutions Of learning in the
Northwest. Two 6ne brick churches Mesho-l
dist and Prssbyterian-will catch the eyeof the
visitor on account Of their large sixe and cor
rect architectural proportions and taste. The
6rst we wers told was sixty feet BY one hundred,
and the other Is nearly ~ large. Upon the pub
lie square are many 6ne business blocks. The
Court House, In the centre Of the square, has
probably been erected several years and has
been outgrown BY the town. On the North side
Of the square are two 6ne and excellent hotels
-the Tiffany and the Brasel,on Hoases--shs

THANKSGIVING GEEsE.-"Right on the Goose'
Mr.. Akerman, the gentlemanly conductor OF
the Portland aud Portsmouth road, ia responsi.
BILE for the following :-A farmer named +. from
Greenland, N. H., on Wednesday last brought
to Portsmouth on Wednesday last, a couple of
fat geese Mr.. A. asked the price, and was told
IA cents per ID. On replying that be would take
one OF them, farmer T. told him that he must
sell the pair to one person. A did not like to
loose such fat goose, so, finding a neighbor
who would take one off his hands, purchased
the twain. After paying for them, he asked the
farmer why he objected to selling them sinvly.
Because" says farmer F., "the geese have been
together in my yard thirteen years, and bro.
missed my wife that they never should be parted

The ARMy.-Gen. Scott, iu his report as COM
mander.in-Chief, reiterates his opinion that it
would be quite misnsmer to call our army
peace establishment, considering our constant In
dian wars. He thinks the rank and file much
improved, and recommends that one company OF
each regiment should be. kept on depot service
to recruit He also reiterates his commentator
for retiring list for superannuated and disabled
officers and considerably increased compensa-
ton for commissioned officers. The last point
is particularly urged-as is a law putting the
Army and Navy on the same footing as to PEN
sons

Agriculture 81 the UsissA osasss.
There can he no subject more inter.
esting either 70 the people or to phil
osophers. The whole subsistence oi
mankind depends upon il; and not only
that, but all the relation of business, Of
commerce, industry and human happi.
ness arise solely from the development
OF agriculture. The Agricultural Sta
tistics taken in 1850 contain many in.
teresting developments. That year
way not, however, OF itself, enough to
determine all the problems relating u
American farming; for in any one year
there are some crops which partially
fail. There are some things, such as
the size and value of farms, and the pro.
portion Of improved lands, which are
determined with considerable accuracy,
although Of course their proportions
vary with the growth Of the country.
The following table will show the rela-
