TO earth but did not carry far" nay, which
we left here. Old red farm houses trim
med in white, peeping out from behind
hedges, and barns painted by the storms
of the years, and orchards where school
boys strayed, and school-houses where
some lessons were learned from books and
more from playmates, and around which
once cleaned tin swords and waved
plumes from paper hats, and old-fashioned,
friend-loving people, all are here, forming
scenes made thrice and four times endear-
ed by absence; as they were, so they are,
nurseries Of loving hearts, happy homes,
prudent enterprise and earnest piety.-
Old churches, too, are here, in which /
used 10 pass those still, holy Sabbaths-
Sabbaths when nature was hushed to
rest, and men walked out mere quietly,
and everything worshiped God. Such
Sahbaths, l fear, are gone until we
find them again "Oyer the River,"-for
they are not here as they once were. And
our old village church is changed. The
high old gallery from which the choir,
accompanied by tho Jass-viol, used 10
discourse songs of praise to the Ruler has
given place to n modern orchestra, with
n melodeon, and quartette choir; and
the old pews, in which we used TO shut
ourselves and be hidden from each other,
save our heads, have disappeared and
slips, after the modern style, with backs
one foot high instead of three have taken
their place; and the preacher is another:
instead Of the solemn and awe-inspiring
parsonage that once was there, young
man, with a young heart, preached to the
young men about the value of character.
But the old village church-yard, which
joins the church lot, is the same, only
more mounds are there, and few more
willows. The white slabs tell that

Erutt, and Grain Prospects.

Our exchanges, generally, speak of good
prospects for a large crop in their immediate
vicinity The Lafayette Courier says the
farmers in that section are straining every
nerve to get in corn crop, and adds that
the area planted will be largely in excess of
any previous year. Farmers keep their
plows running in the evening so long as
they could see the burrows, and the Courier
says it is stated as a positive fact that the
Quakers in one township were in the field on
the Sabbath, planting corn. They ought
not to let their zeal in raising corn get the
better of their religion at that rate.
Wheat along the Wabash bottoms is said
to bs seriously damaged by the food, but as
the greater part of these lands are used for
raising corn, and that promises to be unusu-
ally good, the damage to the wheat will not
be felt so seriously
The peach crop in Jackson county is had
ly injured by the frost. The indianapolis
Journal, however, says, Still we. shall Ger

had before for long time, except in favored
localities, in the Southern section.

State says, The cold weather and the re-
cent severe frosts have injured the fruit in

aks. The New York Herald gives US an
acSIunt of the.eifect prodHeGd by the war
news received by the Niagara, upon the
merchants of the different nations doing
business in that city. II says:
The point which attracted most attention
WAS the three DAYS ultimatum of Austria,
which some regarded as equivalent to dec
laration of war against Sardinia. The sub
iect was freely commented on, both by
French and German merchants, as we'll as
Inv Americans. Ii would seem that ma
joriiy of of our French merchants, and prob
ABLY of our French fellow citizens generally,
were decidedly anti-Austrian in their feel
inps. and in some cases gave animated vent
to their views on the subject. They con-
sidered that the ultimatum of the three
DAYS was little better than a menace, if not
n challenge, to France, and that If war un-
fortunately ensued, she mast be considered
the first aggreSsor. The German merchants,
rs usual, took matters coolly, and said but
little. What few Austrians there were among
them also said but little; but, when speak
ing on the subject with Americans, they in
some cases defended the right of Austria ia
maintain her Italian possessions against
! all attacks, even should war result from
the legitimate protection of her Lombardo-
Venetian subjects. The representative:
from other portions Of Germany and of Hol.
land appeared to hold neutral ideas in refer
ence to the matter. We have representative:

So far as the Spanish feeling could be judged
of, it was opposed to the war, without any
decided expression of preferences on thu

Canal Meeting.

The citizens of Terre Haute seem to be at
work in earnest to have that portion of the
canal between their city and Newberry kept
in good order. A meeting was held on Sat
nrday night last, at which Judge Hunting
ton presided
The Committee, which had been appoint
ed to solicit subscriptions, reported that they
had an aggregate of S3,775 subscribed in
vigo county. The Committee appointed to
confer with the municipal authorities of the
city, requesting subscription from its gen.
eral funds towards sustaining the canal, re-
ported that they had submitted the matter
10 the Council, and that it had been referred
to a committee of that body but no final
action had as yet been had.
Quite an animated discussion rs to
the authority and duty Of the municipal
authorities to make such subscription, and
the propriety of bringing the matter before
the Council by petition OF the citizens, was
then had, in which MessrS. Huntington,
Usher, Patterson, Griswold, and Rose, took
part A committee of two from each ward
was appointed to circulate petitions request
ing the Courcil to subscribe from the gen.
eral fund of the city towards sustaining the
canal. The committees appointed to solicit
subscriptions and to confer with the City
Council, were requested to continue their
exertions until some arrangement was con-
summated Luther Miller was appointed
TO solicit subscriptions along the line of the
canal in the county The following resolu-
ton was then adopted, and the meeting ad-
iourned;
ResOIced, That the citizens of the counties
oil Greene, Clay, and Vigo, who are sub
scribers TO aid in sustaining the canal, be
requested to meet at the Court House in
Terre Haute, on Thursday, 18th inst, to
make some proper organization and consum-
mate a contract with the Canal Trustees, and
that the Chairman give the proper notice OF
the meeting
