In secular affairs, the first item OF
interest is the new arrangement on the

changes Of trains, sriyals and depar-
Nturcs. &c. came OF. The Company

tram in adiitit o the numerous fa-
cilities hcretoforr tmployed. An I'M

There are noT from Is to 20 trains
of cars, tpasserger and freight pass
ing our town tgtily, and it is astonish-
ing to see tho large and Increasing
business of the Company. Passengers

cinnati Railroad companies. Through

"Tna VEST The new ting table
works admirably, and trFns. come up
to their all 4 time viii remarkable
precision. TIC hcw Proficient of the
G. o. Company, Mr.. Fasitt, is a tho.
rough Raiirobd man, afd, under his
supervision, tSs great national thoro'
fare will still1gcrcasc inI nIPopularity.-
I noticed a train, a few qrenings since,
of unusual length and dehsely crowded,
and upon enquiry learted that there
were 800 passengers on board! That
was putting f4lks throus III by the .quan-
4 hty.
| The late delightful growing weather
has put q new tace on call creation
Farmers are cleering up, and getting
Z away from thcsc gloomy forebodings OF
"short crops ind no fruit" Of which we
4 heard so much during the backward
Spring. What and other crops arc
4 growing with astonishing rapidity.--
q The general calculation now is for a
8 fair wheat cy5p, and oats and corn arc
4 very promising. Should the present
n favorable weather continue, the earth
Y will atlndanhy yield her increase. -
| Fruit of all iinds is abundant. Ono
farmer, few miles northeast of this
place, calculstes upon having 400 bush.
els of peaches, and other fruit in pro.
portion.
Speaking Of crops, &C., l must men.
ton new rlethod, | think, which is
adopted B isono Of our farmers tc
scare croF rom corn fields. 1t is to
stretch CO II Oh stakes planted across
the fields, aid it is amusing to see the
crows fly up|arls in alarm at the first
sight Of the lords. They 60 off squal.

The diaillers Of Dresden, a few miles
north ,'est of this place, have recently
lost ali ut 500 hogs, of disease called
shog q Neral But the general opinion
Y is that BAD whiskey slop is the cause of
/ tho si s,hiefs The most horrible com.
pounds are ow turned out from these
ksinks of iniqdity, and passed off under
stbo various bames formerly given to
awhat we're then liquors. If the still
.!slops vii. killE500 hogs in few days,
how r.ahy drknkards will the poisons,
u little more iefined, kill in the course
Of year ? Oh, what q traffic for the
nineteenth c9itury! But must close.
