n ve supposed that high prices of ltnd
~.re an essential and necessary part of the
r~rcsnerity Of the North West, We would
rrisdly ioin our nsighbors ID the attempt To-
multiply those prices as often as possible.
But as we hold that the value Of produc-
tons measured in dollars and cents, 10 the
true guage of a States prosparlty-that
prices Of land are arbitrary and max be in
creased or diminished, once . year or twics
4 day, and the State be no richer or poorer
BY the operation, provided always that the
increase or diminution is general, we can
not see the necessity or utility Of any move
ment that encourages and extends the specu-
lating mania with which the people Of the
North West are possessed. As we have be-
fore said. there are at least sixty millions Of
acres Of land now on the market, in second
or third hands, all held for speculative pur-
poses. As wild land merely, It is good for
nothing. il cannot be eaten or drunk; it will
keen nobody warm; it cannot be sent where
the sunnly i not equal to the demand. Its
value IS IN its capaDiiity Of production, and
until it has been brought under the pillow
and bears a crop, it has but little more real
commercial worth than so many leagues of
desert or so many square miles Of thin air.
Whatever retards Observation-Disclosures the
cause be high prices asked for it per acre,
or its distance from settlement or market
is a positive injury to the country and is to
be deprecated. And herein is one Of the
reasons why we complain Of the existing
state Of affairs in the West. Present prices
do not invite emigration to parts Of the
country contiguous to market. The CON-
ing thousands, nine-tenths of whom bring
little but wealth of muscle, are forced to
such distances from commercial centres that
their labor is eaten up by the costs Of car
rage of its products to a place OF sale,
while the lands near railroads or navigable
waters are run over and left unoccupied.-

Terrible storm in Louisville, Ky

During the past week we have had a series
Of sndden storms of wind, heavy showers or
ain. and a hail storm, but Saturday night
our city was visited by a storm that IN ter
rible intensity and violence exceeded all the
rest, The sky was overcast about dusk
with portentous black clouds, followed by a
sudden wind storm that for a few moments
seemed irresistible. Suddenly the WIND ceas-
ed, and the rain poured down. in torrents, ac-
cempanied with the most vivid lightning
and terrific thunder. #.,
Trees, signs and awnings were uPfooteo
and torn down in all directions. The ma
chine shop of Richard p. Smith, on the point,
was struck by the lightning, and one corner
shattered. 4 man of the name OF Ray, who
WIS sitting on a porch in the same vicinity,
was stricken, and it was thought that he Was
killed outright. lie recovered, however,
and was able to sit up yesterday morning.
The rear wall of the extensive warehouse
Of }. Z. Breed, on Main street, just below
Bullitt street, was shattered, though MOI
m ,ch damaged. We also heard of various
o.her accidents, but none Of a serious char
acter.
A great number oftimid persons were Sc
riously frightened by the storm, including
women and children, whose fears were ex-
|cited by the anticipated collision or visit Of
