next years seed. Winter Wheat, aImcst
equal to corn IN Importance, was mater.
ally injured both in quality and quantity.
The apple crop is little scant. No other
fruit is raised in any quantity. 40 crop
seems really 10 have enjoyed the season
save Sorghum. Our opinion of the re-
suits in this latitude, where the seed is
heavy and full is quite favorable.
What then must be the financial condi-
ton of this region The disasters of 1857
fell heavily upon it. The farmers had
carelessly run up heavy debts at the store,
and the trader could take produce only at
ruinous prices. The whole crop would
not pay the hired labor and the store bills.
Much debt remains still unpaid. The
merchant does not renew his stock and
the farmer dimnishes it the least possible.
Collecting debts by law is rare. The
laws do not favor the creditor, but there
are no tax-laws. We have heard of sales
by execution, but they are sad stories.
The general resolution is to wait till time
brings relief before collecting or paying.
This relief cannot fully come till the crop
of 1859 be sold. Meanwhile rigid econ
omy prevails. Many stores will not give
sugar for butter, poultry, &c. For cash
they sell eight, nine, Or ten lbs. for dol
ar, but watered l fear. Hence not one
family in twenty use SO much sugar a.
usual. So with other articles.
Land of course is at its lowest. Few
or no purchasers are found, and yet nevel
was better time for buying. And thi
region nevertheless is destined to flourish
1t is unequalled in agricultural resources
not scant in wood or coal, and intersectec
by railroads. 1t is free from the annoy
ance of winds as felt in the larger prai
ries, and therefore better for fruit. Blu
it must bide its time.

Rev. b. NJ. HALL, of the NJ. Il.
Church, of this place, commenced on the
afternoon of last Sabbath, series of dis
courses which promise great interest if
continued according to the plan proposed,
though we understood it to be uncertain
to what extent the course would be pur-
sued. The purpose of the Rev. gentle
man, if we understand him, is to present
to his congregation on Sunday afternoons
a series of sketches" historical and BIZ
ographical, commencing with the Crea-
ton, and all having as converging GEN.
tire the coming of the Savior. The whole
is designed to give complete view of the
Gospel Plan. The subject will then be
pursued in its divergence from the time of
Christ. The plan commends itself as one
promising deep interest, and if fully car
ried out, as we doubt not it will be, its
value, especially to the young, must GER
tainly be very great.
The subject of the first dscoufse-the
perfectness of Gods work in the creation
of man-was made in the first degree in
s,ructive and gave promise of increasing
interest as the series progresses.
.... LIQUOR. BEER, &c. &o.-Our out
door reporter informs us that Geo. W.
Dustin was arraigned before j. W. Con-
roe, ESQ, for selling liquor-giving it
away-furnishing-and keeping grocery
without license-fve counts in all. About
20 witnesses were summoned, and appear
ed One witness took the stand, and by
him all the allegations were made out and
the other witnesses were not examined.
He was fined $50 and costs. He appeal
ed to County Court, and gave sufficient
bail for his appearance. The crowd then
dispersed. We hope, for the good of the
community, these scenes will not have to
be repeated.
MIDDLEBURY ScENERY.-We have long
been convinced that the scenery in and
about Middlebury equalled, if it did not
surpass, any region in this country, and
unrivalling that of any other country
that there is many picturesque spot
about us where the eye of the artist would
be delighted and his heart made glad by
the beauty and loveliness Of the view
opened up before him, and that to be ap-
preciated, our scenery would only have to
be known. Our local artists have done
credit to themselves in transferring many
beautiful pictures Of nature in our midst,
and making the homes of our citizens per-
petually to rejoice by their presence, but
we are happy to learn that our home ar
fists are not the only ones that duly APP
preciate the beauties that surround us.
Artists from abroad have began to seek
our locality to bear away the inestimable
prizes which nature here offers to them
for this purpose we understand that Messrs.
Mowyer & Russell of Rutland, visited
this place some three weeks since and well
did they execute their mission if we may

ProspectlYe

Since the November Elections there has
been on every hand any amount of specu-
lation upon the future Of the political
parties which are at present most prom
inent, and there seems to be no lack of
data on which to build any conclusion
which may be desired The Democracy,
out Of Illinois, are quite disposed to ac-
knowledge themselves beautifully whipped
but have a very philosophical way of re-
conciling themselves to it. By referring
to the record in the corresponding period
of the last term they find the party in New
York particularly, in situation very sim
liar to that they are in now. Thus the
Buffalo Courier draws courage from the
past:
Four years ago, in corresponding
period of Presidential term we polled
but triAe more than one third of the ag-
gregate vote of the State, and two years
thereafter a Democratic President and
Democratic majority of the House of Rep.
resentatives were elected"
g In fact, looking to the great contest
in 1860, we are not sure that the present
success of Mr.. Seward is not the most for
tunate event for the Democracy that could
have occurred"
In other words the permanent welfare
of the party demands that they should as
frequently as the Presidential period re-
ceive good threshing,a bit of discipline we
are very willing to administer and which
they are welcome to make the best of.
We think their logic is not reliable. Let
US see. The Democracy were whipped in
"a and succeeded in SO; They are again
whipped in So and therefore will again
succeed in go, a sylogism very easily built
but not very satisfactory to candid, dis
interested person.
1t cannot be doubted by any one who
earnestly searches after truth that the
ruling democracy has for many years been
steadily waning in the confidence Of the
Northern people. 1t succeeded two years
ago only by gross frauds, has buoycd itself
thus far by the most unscupulous abuse of
patronage and now, by the late elections,
it has been put in most emphatically
horizontal position in every Northern
State. The success of Judge Douglas in
ILL.,, as a personal triumph, has no parallel
in our history. At any previous time
such course as the Illinois Senator has
chosen would result in swift destruction to
any man, no matter what be his personal
strength, but so far as now appears the
Little Giant is not only triumphant, but
the administration party so far as it could
come within his reach is ground to the
very finest powder. Viewed through the
medium which by his late achievements
has been thrown about him and from this
Northern stand point, Mr.. Douglas is re-
garded by many of the prophets referred
to above as not rising sun merely, but
as one that is emerging in full splendor
from a cloud very near the zenith
The result in Illinois has certainly done
very much to demoralize the democratic
party. The disciplin by means of which
it has so often swept away all opposition

EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURE AMONG CAN
NIBAIs.-During the fall of 1856, an Ameri-
can ship foundered off the coast of Guinea.
Only eight persons were saved from the crew
and passengers, and they encountered terri
bic hardships, from being tossed about at the
mercy of the winds and waves for many days,
without either food or water; but at length
they were cast upon an inhospitable shore
which they found to their horror, was in
habited by a tribe of ferocious cannibals.
One of the survivors, more fortunate than
the Others, happened TO have in his pocket, a
box of backing, with which he anointed him
self from head to foot, so that when the other
seven passengers were called up, cooked and
eaten, he was mistaken for one of the savage
tribe, and invited to partake of the feast.
When his backing gave out, he was forced
to fly from the country, and subsequently
reached New York, when he presented a
large gold medal TO the manufacturer of the
excellent backing that had saved his life.
Messrs. Mackenzie & Minchin, IA College
street, have boxes of this unparalleled black
ing for sale, at their repertOry, where they
keep all articles for house-keeper's use.
