Let us Not Forget.

Another Anniversary Of American Inde
pendence has rolled around. Let us not for
get the cause that brought about that Inde-
peudence, and let us not forget to hold the
memory of the Day in dear remembrance
Let us teach our children to be and feel pa.
triotic on that day; teach them to sing Yam
kee Doodle, Hail Columbia and the Star
Spangled Banner; and TO hop, and jump for
very Joy that they are children of America

RATHER BULLIsH.-One of couple of mi
ners who occupy the same cabin near Arkan-
sas Diggings on abs,nting himself from the
house, locked the door and hid the key; but
recollecting that his partner might return and
wish admittance he wrote notice and pos.
ted it on the door, informing him that he
would find the key under the door step. A
safe lookup, provided all dishonest people
could not read

THE CASE OF SrEvENroN.--On Monday
last the appeal in the case of Samuel Steven.
ton convicted at Jackson some months since
Of the murder of Abraham Hostetter, near
Volcano, was decided by the Supreme Court.
1t will be seen by the decision, which we pub
lish outside, that the unhappy man is doomed
to die, and that the District Court has been
ordered te fix day for his execution. We
presume the day will not be named until the
October term. Steventon has about recoy-
cred from the severe wounds he received, and
has appeared quite stout and harty for some
time He had strong hopes Of o new trial,
but at the same time appeared to hold him
self prepared for disappointment. He is q
man OF moro than ordinary nerve, and pos
sessed of powerful constitution, otherwise
he never could have recovered from his
wounds

Cinnamon have claim that is paying them

two tom heads of water into it, for the pur-
pose Of washing the pay dirt at the bottom
without raising it out All the water thus
thrown into the hole, besides the very con
siderable quantity which otherwise collects,
is thrown out by pump driven by tread-mill
power. Three Cinnamon are employed to
tread the mill, which consists simply Of O

HORSE STEAIING-A short time since a
horse was stolen from Mr. Elijah Ash Of
this place, and has not been recovered. Mr..
I. p. Ash went in pursuit, and is satisfied
that at Marysyile he overhauled the thief,
but could prove nothing against him, espec
tally as the animal was not to be found. Mr.
Ash thinks the horse was stolen for an over
land trip to Frazer. which is probably the
destination of several Others that have been
taken without leave from this neighborhood
recently.

lone Valley.


Conn CRop.-T corn crop, the present
seasoa bids far to be the largest of any yet
raised in this valley. The extensive fields on
the 20" ranch look very promising, indeed,
and we doubt if SO great nImber of acres
of such good corn can be found elsewhere in
the State. That on the Luther farm is very
forward. and even, us is also that of DR.
Lyons Mr.. Spicer has every prospect of
a good crop, and Mr.. Hickey has some that
is very tall and of fine appearance. There
are twenty or thirty acres on Judge Carter's
place that looks very WELL as does that on
the farm of Mr. Martin and OF Mr.. Wood
ward, which is quite early. On the lands OF
Mr.. Smith, Mr.. Phillips, Mr.. Fithan, Mr.
Lithgow, Mr. Triplett, Dutch Joe," Mr.
Potter and Miss Dunbar, there is promise OF
good yield, although some OF it is rather
late. We have no doubt that the premium
corn Of this season should come from lone !;
but the early time fixed for holding the State
Fair will render it impossible to have any of
the corn from this section present for com
petition.
IRmGArIoN.- Thomas Hickey has in
troduced the plan of getting clear water for
irrigatio by digging wells near the creek
and raising the water by pumps worked by
current wheels set in The stream. Three OF
these are in operation at the lower part Of
town, aud work well. Hitherto, water ele-
vated by water power has been taken from
the stream and was full Of sediment, which
was injurious to crops; and that raised by
wndmills was not constant in its supply
With the wells and water wheels both these
objections are obviated.
PRoLIFIc.-On small pear tree, not large
enough for whip stock, in the garden of
Mr.. George Wilmington, there are no less
than thirty three large pears.
IMPRovEMEgTs-The Messrs Luther have
erected beautiful dwelling on their farm,
and finished it in the most substantial man
ner. The fireplace is Of polished steatite
from the vicinity of Jackson, and being var
nished looks elegant. They have an elegant
stone dairy-house, and other convenient out
buildings.
FIRE PRooF.-W. H. Harron 4 Co. have
nearly completed their new stone store-housc.
1t will be secure place for the storage Of
grain, and greatly accommodate the farmers
Of that section.
DIR. Kibbe is erecting new house in the
lower part of the village.
Mr.. Wilcox is building dwelling house.
