Some of the citizens of Madison
thought Mr.. Prentice was guilty of per-
sonalsaIlusionste one of their fellow-towns-
men, IN his lecture on 'sTke Political Degen-
feracy Of the Times" delivered there few
days ago. The Madison Courier denies the
imputation upon the lecturer, and says Mr..
P. stated facts without reference TO persons.
If distinguished Democrat from Indiana
has made half million of dollars while
member of the Senate, it=may.b be an-illas-

The Decline i'm the wheat Crop.

Our exhausting mode of cultivation is
producing an alarming effect upon the wheat
crop. Our farmers-wedded to old habits,
and to the lessons of their fathers, rather
than the teachings and revelations of science
resist rather than encourage any reforma-
ton in the processes of our agriculture. 1t
is a notorious fact--and a reproach to
the constituencies that elected them-that
the Representatives of the wealthiest agri-
cultural counties in the State, voted against
the appropriation of the paltry sum of S., 900
from the Treasury for geological recon-
noisance of the State. Among those who
opposed this measure OF primary Importance
to the cause of agriculture, we are chagrined
to say, were the Representatives of the rich
and enlightened counties of Knox, Gibson,
and, we believe, Posey. The farmers of
those counties, we hope. at the next election,
will look for better men; for, at the next
session, the reconnaissance will be extended
into minute and thorough geological sur
vey.
In England, Ireland, and Scotland, upon
a thin soil, they grow more wheat per acre
than we do upon our rich lands; and theil
crops are yearly increasing in quantity PEI
acre, while ours are declining with alarming
rapidit.-. Many portions Of the Eastern

The REVIVAL OF BUsNEss.-The Eastern
cities are reported to have done a larger
spring trade than in any former year. In
dry goods, especially, the demand has been
extraordinary, and prices have materially
advanced /; in domestics and prints the rise
has been equal TO ten per cent. This has had
at once an important influence upon the
manufacturing business. 1t is reported that
the manufacturing establishments through
out New England are ali alive again, and
most of them, in many cases, running full
time, on orders in advance of production
The general prosperity of the mills and fac
tories of Connecticut, Rhode Island and Mas
sachusetts, is confirmed by the improved To-
cal traffic upon their railways, and by the
continual heavy purckss of cotton in the
New York market, and contracts in advance
for wool at the West.

History OF THE COMMON PLEAS Bill
The Indianapolis journal gives the fol-
lowing history of the Common Pleas bill.
A good many strange doings at the Capt.
tai
We stated, some days ago, that the bill
changing the Common Pleas Districts was
returned by the Governor because some
counties were omitted in it, and that after
the correction of the omission the bill was
not taken to the Governor. 1t was there
fore doubtful if it was a law. We learn,
however, that it is on file i'll the Secretary
of States office, but without the signature
of the Governor, and with it is the Supple
mental bill, fixing the times of holding
courts in the new Districts which is APP
proved by the Governor. 1t is regarded by
the officers as having become law. If 50,
it must have been sent back to the Cover
nor after its correction, but he neglected to
sign and return it, and it has become a law
by operation of the Constitution. There
seems to be some uncertainty about the
course the bill went through after its cor
rection, till it got to the Secretary of State S
Office as law, but it is certain that it is
now regarded as valid, and will be SO treat
ed by the State officers.

The following is. an extract of a letter
from Washington; IS 4&tfhA
Just structures, were they but justly
founded, have been passed upon Mr.. Sickles'
alleged neglectful indulgence of his wife in
all her tastes for fashion and society, with
out proper controlling care. But it is not
true that he did SO indulge her. ,e s.;
When, last Spring, the attention of Mr..
Key became the subject of remark and
Scandal, Mr. Siekles instantly, on the first
whisper reaching his ears, called upon that
gentleman and received from him asserya-
tions of the honorable character of his re-
gard, SO solemn and so strong that, coupled
with those of his wife, he could not, and did
not for moment after, cherish a suspicion.
Mr. Key went so far as to seal his asserva-
ton by bringing his own pure sister to call
on Mrs. Sickles, which Mr.. Sickles had a
right to feel was complete guarantee of
the purity of his own relations with her
Still desiring his wife to be not only safe
from, but above suspicion, he forbade her to
receive Mr.. Key except when invited, and
on her regular reception day, in the pres
ence of company, a restraint which they both
submitted to and observed.
1t was probably this which induced Mr..
Key to lease house of assignation. Nor
in any instance, save one, has Mrs. Sickles
been allowed either to go to a dinner party
or ball except in his own company. The
one exception was the fancy ball of Mrs.
Gwin, when, on her mother's-represen tation
that her absence might give color of reali-
ty TO what then but wore the shape of hc-
ton, he permitted her to attend that ball
! Whatever interviews have taken place be-
tween Mr.. Key and Mrs. Sickles since then,
have been in his absence at Congress or out
of town, at the house which Mr.. Key rented
for the purpose Had Mr.. Sickles imposed
any severer restraint those who are now
ready to accuse him of laxity of vigilance
would be the first to brand him as domes-
! tic tyrant, deserving and provoking by his
| hardness the fate he met. The more the
facts of this sad story are known, the more
it gathers of interest.
The letter of warning which Mr.. Key
received on Thursday, and which he showed
to Mrs Sickles at the ball at Wizards on
that night-the last of their meeting--was
written, it is thought, by lady. II wa:
full of "Dear Barton, and other such en-
dearing expressions, whereas the letter
which conveyed to Mr.. Sickles the proofs Of
his dishonor, was either written or feignec
to be written, by some coarse, illiterate per
son. Strange, if two different parties SHOULD
have selected the same night to send a mis-
sive of warning.

from which mankind suffer "A large part of the
globe Is the consequence of diseased action in the
system, induced by the poisonous miasm of yegeta-
Bile decay. This eNhalation is evolved by Che ac-
tion of solar heat wet soil, and rises with the
Watery vapoI from it. While the sun is below the
horizon this vapor fingers near the earths surface
aud the virus is taken with it through the lungs
into the blood. There it acts as an irritating poi
the internal visccra and excreting organs of
the body. The liver becomes torpid and fails to
secrete not only this virus but also the bile from
the blood. Both the virus and tho bile accumulate
in the circulation, and produce violent constitu-
tional disorder. The spleen, the kidneys, and the
stomach sympathize with the liver, and become
disordered also. Finally, the instinct of organ
ism, if in attempt to expel the noxous infII-
sion, concentrates the whole blood of the body in
the internal excretories TO force them to cast
it out. The blood leaves the surface, and rush q

This is the CHILL. But in this effort it fails Then

it fails, aud the system abandons the attempt ex-
hausted and waits for the recovery of strength to
repeat the hopeless effort another day. These are
