THE Mt. CARMEL RoAD.-The Mt. Carmel
Register, speaking Of the meeting at Owens
vile, says Mt. Carmel sent no delegates to
that Convention, because her citizens deemed
the construction of that road impracticabls,
from the impossibility of raising the necessa-
ny funds in 30 sparscly populated district
and it is too short to enlist foreign aid. Tho
same arguments would apply, the Register
says, to the road from Princeton to Mt. Car
mel, were it TO terminate there. But it adds:
''The great inducemcnt to build a road to
Mount Carmel, is the almost absolute GER
tainty of its speedy continuation westward,
via Albion and Fairfield, to st. Louis. 1t is
estimated, by competent engineers, that the
present gradI from the Wabash river to Fair
field can be made ready for the iron at cost
not exceeding $4,000 per mile. To crown all,
the counties of Edwards and Wayne hold In
reserve the means to do their part of the
work, and there is no kind of doubt of the
ability of this county to do her share. Here,
then, is presented an inducement for building
n road-a successful aud profitable road-that
no other route can present. Whether these
advantages will be appreciated, remains to be
SEEN"

SrN FLowERs.-lf there be any truth in
the following speculations, it is an important
discovery to the people in this region Of
country. We advise our farmers to try the
experiment:
Lieut.. NJ. F. Maury writes to the Rural
New Yorker an account of an experiment he
made in the cultivation of the sun flower as q
means Of preventing "chills and fever" He
had noticed that the negroes at the South
cultivate this plant round their pig sites, IN
der the idea that they ''make it healthy in
the neighberhood. He was also aware that
belts of trees around infected places were
deemed to have the effect Of purifying the at
mosphere. The locality Of the Observatory
at Washington was one at which people were
very subject to fever and sgue every season.
Last year Lieut.. NJ. had belt, about As feet
broad and $50 to 200 yards from the buildings
prepared and planted with the sun flower
which grew finely. The result was that nc le
Of the people engaged on the premises were
attacked with shakes" although the disease
was universally prevalent in the vicinity
This is said to have been the first year Of ex.
emption since the Observatory was built. A
repetition of the culture of the plant for seve-
raj years may settle something in regard Il
| its sanitary influence.

OurnAorous ArrAm.-From tho Noun

OUTRAGEOUS ArrAR.-From the Mount
Carmel Register, of the ed ult., we have the
particulars of a most outrageous assault and
rape on the person Of a widow lady, living in
Wayne county, Illinois:
Two mon, by the names Of John Cash and
John Fitzgerret, broke into the lady's house,
by forcing the door, dragged her out Of bed,
and each violated her person. An attemp,
was made by one of the villains to ravish q
little girl ten years old, the daughter Of the
lady, but the other prevented it. Warrants
were issued for their arrest the next day, blu,
Cash only was arrested, Fizgerrel having LEFT
for parts unknown. The lady had always
borne good character, and was generally es.
teemed by her neighbors. 1t is to be hopet
that the citizens of old Wayne will see tina
these rascals do not escape tho punishment
they deserve.

The following is an extract from a private
business letter from William Law, ESQ.,, to
friend, in this city, which contains informa-
ton that will be so acceptable to our citizens
that we are permitted by the recipient to
publish it:
Niagara from Boston. He had, learn. a
very liberal offer in New York to .furaiM all
the yaiis wanted, to be delivered at Evans
vile, and the bonds taken in payment at a
price that would be satisfactory, if higher
mark cannot be obtained abroad. But the
prospects are that he can do much better in
England than the offer made here, and the
difference in favor of the negotiation in Eng
land is so great as to make it, if carried out
most desirable one. / understand the New
York offer is kept open, and can be accepted,
If should be desirable / think the attacks
made on the road and its management have
rcdounded TO its benefit; for the Offer made in
New York after the Expose" learn, is bet
ter than any previously made or contem-
plated, and what hardly any road could ex-
pcct in these days of doubt and distrust Of
all securities of the kind. 1t will be in the
end-I tlink-well for the road that the sec
ond 100000 bonds are for the present with
held. 1t has stimulated the energies of it,

AGE AND DEBILITY.

As old age comes creeping it brings with 1t many
attendant inrmties. Loss of appetite and weakness
impair the health, and want Of activity makes the mind
discontentei and unhappy. In cases where old age
adds its influence, il is almost impossible to add vigor
and health, and although many remedies have been
tried, all have failed, until BERHAyE'S HOLLAND

where they have been employed, they have invariably

has always been occupied by singular sue

swamps and forests, nearly impregnable and
quite uninhabitable, except as the lurking
place Of Seminoles. They extend into the
heart of the country, two hundred miles north
of Cape Sable, and collectively, are called
THE Everglades" The water in them has
found some secret outlet into the ocean, and
they are being rapidly drained. 1t has been
observed to be falling for several months past,
and part Of them have become perfectly dry.
Indications of the water from the Everglades

at points along ths Atlantic coast, but through
what subterranean channels it flows, has not
yet been discovered. Many years ago, a sur

view OF draining them By artificial means,
which was found to be practicable, but was
not attempted. Their draining would restore
millions of acres Of the richest soil for the cul-
tivation of sugar. The whole subetratum OF
