LIFTING HousEs IN CmcAGo.-One of the
chirl curiositirs at work in Chicago now is the
raising of entire brick blocks 10 level with The
new street grades. Innumrrablf small screws
are used. The row OF buildings is dISonted
from lis connections; stout joists, susialnrd by
powerful screws, are placed in each doorway,
and every possible precaution taken to ensure
perfect safety. The labor progresses with great
rapidity when once fairly under way, and II is
really a remarkable sight 10 witness an immense
brick block, with all IFS customary occupants,
goods, &c, rising steadily into the air, while a
sense Of entire security pFevades every one who
d~rlIs, or does business there. The success
which has so signally crowned the experiments
there will tend much 10 improve the city's aP-
pearance, and fine buildings which are now
/ sqnatting dumbly down seven feet brlow the
street can be elevated 10 becoming level with
great ease.

GRAssuoPPERs IN TExAs.-A gentleman who
has Just returned from journey through Con
zalts, Caldwell, HAYS, Comal, Guadalupe,
Bexar, Karnes, and Dewitt counties, informs US
that generally throughout these counties the
grasshopperS have destroyed the entire growing
crops oi corn, wheat, cotton, and all garden
vegetables, 50 that there is scarcely green
thing left On The Ci5olo, the grasshoPpers
were 50 numerous week ago that our informant
could not pul his foot 10 the ground without
treading on them
The planters, though greatly disheartened
are in hopes that these destructive insects may
leave early in May, in which case they think
| they may make tolerable crops of cotton anc
corn, as the prospects otherwise were neve'
better.
These insects eat everything clean as they
90. Our informant says he saw wheat fields OF
the outside of which the wheat was cut d0wi
as clean as it could have been done by cradle
and every stalk eat up, while the balance q
the field had not been touched at all. They no
only~rat the corn that IS above the ground, bu
eat everything under ground TO the roots. The.
are now commencing TO fy, and this is locke
upon as a favorable omen.
As yet The grasshopneIs have not made thel
appearance higher up than Austin, nor farthe
to the east, nor are they yet seen in or belo'
Victoria. But within this range the destIuctIo
| has already been very great.
We understand these destructive little anlma
are also deveuring The leaves and the bark {
fruit trees, such as the peach and the pear; bl
, whether they will do them any serious inJur
remains to be tested.

many improvements proposed for 1858,
TO maize it the most widely circulated paper
in this part of the State.
The clubs for the new year have been all
renewed, with larger aecessions to the lists
than could have been lcoked for in these times
OF financial pressure1 Our friends every

ertions to increase tbs circulation of the

AN OLD FIRM.

We call the attention of grocers and
housekeepers to the advertisement eff Messrs.
DrcxER Il KRAMER in another column
They are now manufacturing Lard Oil, Soap
and Candles equal to any made up the river,
which they ere prepared to- sell at Cincin-
natl prices. Evansville grocers and drug
gists can be supplied at oil times with a
homemade article eqnal to the best, and it
is strange that they seek elsewhere for what
is made at their own doors. Housekeepers
by sending their orders directly to this house
will save large per centagc in the course Of
the year, on their purchases.
Since the establishment of the Cairo pack
ct line, the business OF this firm has largely
increased. Merchants along the Lowe,
Ohio will consult their interest by buying
their Oil, Soap and Candles in Evansville
Orders sent by the Done viii be promptly
responded to, and full satisfaction is gar

The new Diana on her first trip made the
run from Memphis to Cairo-24O miles-in
"a hours, including six way landings for
freight, wood, and passengers. This for q
business trip, with freight, on a big river,
dark and stormy weather, was remarkably
good run, and not easily beaten. The ia
motis steamer Chocktaw, the terror of all fast
boats, left Memphis considerably ahead OF
the Diana, and being "fying light" it was
thought she could not catch her.
Both boats left New Orleans on the same
evening, together with the Nebraska, Capt.
toll, and others. The Diana and Nebraska
got aground on the coast, in the fog, the
former losing seven hours. and the latter
eight. This gave the Choctav long start
in addition to which, she made no stop at
Natchez or Vicksburg, or any where, except
ing to wood, while the Diana made AZ land
ings to Cairo.
The steamer VIM. Baird has been sold by
the Sheriff In New Orleans for $1,000.

Another Wines. for DR.. Robakc.

We see that DIR. Jean Ledoux, we'll
known practitioner in Franklin, Louisiana,
has come out with q strong Endorsement of
DR.. c. W. Roback' celebrated vegetable spe-
cifcs, the Scandinavian Blood Pills and
Blood Purifier. He says, in letter pub
Eshed in the Southern papers, "These medi-
cines The Pills and PURIFIER undoubtedly re-
lieve disorders incident to Tire digestive or
gans, improve the appetite, renew the
strength, allay nervous irritation, and free
the system from the impurities which gene
rate and stimulate diseases of the stomach
and the bowels" Such unqualified praise
from such source, carries weight with it,
and seems to confirm the result of our own
observations. DR.. Roback's advertisement
in another column, deserves attention.

A RELIc.-Yesterday morning number
of workmen digging in the lot adjoining
MEM d GnEB's Grocery Store, exhumed q
skull and other remains of a human body
During the day it was ascertained that the
bones belonged TO the body ofJoHS HARVEY,
who was hung in Evansville thirty-two years
ago, and who was executed within fifty feet
OF the spot where he was buried. ALASsoN
WAnHER one of the pioneers Of Evansville,
was Sheriff at the time. He has long since
gone An old gentleman who assisted Mr.
WARNER at the execution, was in the city
yesterday, and examined the remains with
great interest JOHN HARVEY was the frs,
and last man ever hung in Vandcrburg conn
~, and 1T was believed at the time by MANY
mat he was an innocent man.
The bones found were so decayed that the
slightest touch would break them. Since the
time of HARvEr's burial, great changes have
taken place in that locality. Upon that Dor
ton of the city then partially covered with
forest trees, there are now built fine store.
and large hotel. We are informed thai
there are only ten men now living who wer,
present ut that execution thirty-two year,
ago. A large number of citizens visited tn
spot yesterday to examine the remains ant
talk over the old times.
