stop Thief"

Can nothing be done to stay the ruthless
hand of the midnight depredators in and about
our city Theft and robbery is becoming alarm
ingly prevalent here, and yet there are no ar
rests made, nor attempts to ferret out the
authors of these villainies, by our pc lice, that
we are aware of. Horses, COWS, clothes and
even hogs disappear, and that is the end of the
matter. Some four or five horses aud five
cows, have been stolen, in, or in the immediate
vicinity of this city, within the past week or
two. In one night last week, the clothes Of
the weeks washing of FIVE families, were stolen
in some instances leaving the victims almost
destitute of linen, &c. How much longer must
this state of things continue, before an effort
at least, is made to put stop to it?
~ The Schooner, Mary b. Hale took OH
1000 bushels of wheat, at the Company's new

the new crop. At present prices, most of our
farmers are holding on to their wheat-storing
or not bringing it forward.

will be seen by the several mills he has erected
in northwestern Illinois, the past year. His

Ogle Co, as we learn from the Transcripts. The
sails are regulated by machinery, through gov
error, and they are reefed and unreefed, accor-
ding to the strength of the wind, without any de-
lay IN grinding. Several others are now being
erected IN the vicinity of Dixon.
This Improvement is of most interest to our
farmers many Of whom are compelled to 60
many miles to mill. The cost is small and ev-

INSURE INSURE Fires will occur
iii the most careful communities, and
property be thereby destroyed-Storms
will wreck the stoutest built crafts that
navigate our inland seas, and occasion
loss ofproperty. Knowing these facts
it is evidently the part of wisdom to
have property insured against loss eth
er by fire or by shipwreck. L. G. MER
RILL is agent for some of the most re
liable Insurance Companies in the coun-
try. See advertisement of 1Etnd Insu-
rance o., Hartford, Con. and Home

kS Every day demonstrates the wisdom of
insuring our property against losses from fire.
And, indeed. this is so well demonstrated that
few people now neglect to have their houses,
barns, shops, stores, &c, as we'll as their con-
tents, insured, and the question is, not whether
we shall insure. but in what company? There
are thousands of Insurance companies, all over
the country, and every town and hamlet has its
agencies. Among them all it is not easy to tell
which is the right one.
Among the numerous companies that have
agencies in this city, we presume there are sew
eral OF the first class, but just now we wish to
call the attention Of our readers to the Merchants
Il Traders Insurance Company of, Milwaukee,,
for which j II KImBALL, of the County Bank,
is Agent, as will be seen by reference to his card
in our columns. The Milwaukee Wisconsin, of
late date, speaking of Insurance Companies,
says OF this one -

the city. Several ofthem have subscribed large

~
Died at her residence in Charles county, Md {,
on the lst instant, Mrs. SARAH DYSON, in the
77th year Of her age.
In adding few lines to the above we are high
Iy privileged. when our object is to perpetuate the
memory Of this most estimable lady. To the be-
reaved members Of her family, her virtues were
too we'll known even to make them matter of
record, and with so many of her commendable
qualities, the bright christian example she has dis
played through the trials incident to this lIfe will
make her worthy the limitation Of, all. Next to
the high relation she bore to her God, the noblest
aim Of her life was to iii with justice and proprie-
ty the station which God had assigned her-in the
privacy of the domestic circle. In this sphere she
moved like one who had been sent upon mission
Of peace, having at all times within her pure breast
the deep channel Of sympathy. administering to
the wants Of some and contributing to the enjoy
ment and advantage Of others.
For many years in feeble health, enduring the
most accute bodily suffering. yet she was never
heard to murmur she had an abiding confidence
in the teachings Of Gods word, and knew that
whom 'the Lord loveth he chasteneth. "
.Weep, We bereaved dearer head
Meier left the pillowing breast,
The good. the pure, the lovely fled.
When mngling with the shadowy dead,
She meekly went to rest.'' b.

SOUND VIEWS.

The New York News, in an article on
-'7Ae Issue Of the Age," expresses views
which do not often appear in Northern jour-
nails It plainly intimates that the province
of the African is to labor, and that African
slavery is not inconsistent with the eternal
fitness of things" The following extracts
indicate the spirit of the argument employ
ed:
"Philanthrophy based upon truth must
possess utility. For we repeat the axiom
that there is nothing good and true but is
useful England and France are old in the
age of commerce, and long experience in the
arts, sciences and agriculture. England
has probed every theory and applied every
expedient for the amelioration and elevation
Of the African race as purely as alleged up
on the high ground Of humanity, and after
years of labor in the cause of humanity, she
is now on the eve of retrograding to the
point from whence she embarked. Why
does England think of abandoning the cause
of African philanthropy? For the reason
she found that cause hopeless. Why hope
less? Because it was devoid of utility
The African was designed by his Creator
for purposes of utility, as well as his Euro
pean brother. Tropical islands are exceed
ingly productive when titled. The God of
nature never intended them for barren
wastes, when there is race especially a.
dapted for their cultivation. This narrow
view of purposeless, humanity is not in
keeping with active s utility y of the \ age :
The European must labor to support his
existence, and why not the African also
The products of the tropics have become
necessity in order that nations may be COM
fortably fed and clothed. The increase of
the human family, the immense progress of
enlightened civilization, the genius of all
human institutions requires that the rich
soil of tropics must not parch as a desert,
fruitless in the open sun. All the effete
theories on the subject of African slave la
Dor and white free labor have proved utter
ly abortive. They must and will give way
when crowded with the every day accumu-
lation of facts entirely contradictory to their
import. There is no longer any excuse for
the excitement Of popular prejudice upon
this subject. The danger in the future lies
in q two rapid reaction of the popular mind
as against the idle races Of the earth. We
conclude by observing that time will show
how near the doctrine here indicated ap-
proximates the character Of a real prophe-
cy."
