Indiana Items.

A couple of fine churches were opened to
the citizens of Indianapolis on Sunday last
From the descriptions given, they must rival,
in beauty, any within the State limits. The
Capital, however it may fall behind in other
matters, excels any city of the same popula-
ton in the West in the number and magnif-
icence of its churches.
A German family living about three and
half miles from indianapolis, was poisoned,
by using arsenic instead of soda, in the for
nation of their biscuit. The husband, wife,
and three children We're very sick, vomiting
quite freely. There is, however, prospect
of their recovery.
The following patents were issued to Indi-
anians for the week ending May 10, each
bearing that date:
George Tatlock, of Salem, for improve
ment in raking attachment for harvesting
machines.
Jas. B. Crist, of Evansville, for improve
ment in grain separators.
Stephen Elliott, of Richmond. for improve
ment in straw cutters.
d. s. Fisher, of Maucl>port, for improve
ment in seed planters.
Chas. Learned, of Indianapolis, assignor
to himself and &. p. Stevens, of same place,
for Improvement in seed drill.
The DAILY Citizen announces, in the last
number, that il is no more. 1t is to be
merged n the "Atids," new paper that is
soon to appevr at the Capital, under the
control of Mr.. John Defrees, a veteran ed

nSg- Considerable discussion has been

n6y Considerable discussion has been
originated as to the probable effect the Eu-
ropean war will have upon the Shipping
and Breadstuffs interests in this country
The New York press very generally take
the ground that no immediate profit is like
" to be had out of the war in Europe. In
this part of the Union an opinion the re-
verse of this is entertained, and all the far
mers are planting every foot OF land they
can possibly cultivate, anticipating high
prices for all they can raise, in consequence
of the war. Should the war terminate
speedily, as many surmise, we will have an
immense crop, ane not very great demand
for it, except home demand.
At present there is no great amount OF
Breadstuffs in this country-scarcely suffic-
lent to supply the demand. Flour has actu-
ally been imported from Europe to supply
our wants. twill take good crop to glu'
the home market, but we confess we cannot
see any great probability of a heavy foreign
a~rr.s...-s.- ul>-Enrepsan will he con
fined TO small scope of country. Few mer
are taken from the plow to serve in the ar.
mics. They are generally made up out Of
the large populations of the immense cities
of Europe, and are composed of floating
class who haveslittle else to do but enlist
The women of Europe do great part OF
the field labor, and We are not sure, If they
were left to cultivate their fields undisturb-
ed, but what they lwould raise sufficient
grain to supply all their actual necessities
If these views be correct, it may be vel
net to count too largely on the European
demand for creating a high price for Bread
stuffs. At any rate, it will be well not I,
plunge deeper in debt, expecting relief from
an extraordinary crop, and very high prices
In addition to other evils connected wit
the contest, it will create an unusual Euro
pean demand for money. This will draw
from our shores, where it is already to
scarce. A constant drain of specie will al
greatly to the embarrassments that are like
ly to occur, under ordinary circumstances.
A scarcity of specie must depress the price

sg- The New York TtiSne contains tn

nay- The New York Tribune contains the
following caution to business men in this
country. 1t is worthy careful perusal:
Bot though we may hope not to fare so
badly as those Immediately engaged in this
European strife, and especially may trust TO
escape its moral consequences, yet that it
must have a very active and important in
fuence upon our trade, and all the pursuits
of industry among us, there can be no qnes-
ton Should 1T prove Il very unfayorable
influence, it will almost utterly ruin US.
Ships have been, up to this moment, for "A
year or two past, 50 Improbable property,
that the question has been whether scuttling
OF sailing was the wiser course Tor the
owner. Securities of certain class have
within three weeks reached point OF de-
preston almost as low as that touched in
the widest and most abandoned moments OF
the crisis of 1857 Breadstufis are rising in
value, and barns and granaries are empty
while, for tho FIRST time, we believe, in the
history of American commerce, Flour has
been imported from France, and still more
is on the way to this Continent. Reports of
railroad directors, which come in at this
season, present the affairs of their Compa-
MES in q worse condition of inactivity and
debt than the most responding had feared.
A high and increasing price Of food, and a
continued stagnation of business are not n
promise OF prosperity; although in some
branches OF trade there has been q partial
revival, and in the ordinary course of events,
should we have a good crop this Summer, n
return of better times seemed probable, vet
affairs are Ia so critical q condition that even
slight disturbing cause must prove a check

We must remember that our interests are
too closely interviewer with those of Europe
TO admit OF the expectation that out of hel
misfortunes and trials il TO come to us grea

SILVER CAvE.-The Cannelton Reporter
says that number ofgentlemen, last week,
visited a cave which is situated on Deer
Creek, about FIVE miles northwest of Camel
The entrance is on the side of bluff hill,
and is so low that the party were compelled
to creep on their hands and knees. In few
yards, however, the cave became larger and
when lighting their candles, several avenues
were seen leading off in different directions.
The centre one, only was explored, and from
this also various passages were found branch
ing OFF in other directions. The party ven
tured as far as they dared 90, but fearing
that the number of avenues might confuse
them if they went too far, returned. The
height of the avenues was irregular, masses
of clay having washed in through the crew
ices in the roof
The cave lies in stratum of blue lime
stone Immediately below the sand rock
The sides Of the cave were smoothly worn
probably by the action of water, resembling
in many places Egyptian columns, and as
smooth and highly polished as if just from
| the hands of skillfui workman. 1t is evil
dent that the cave extends for miles, but
some labor will be necessary to remove tho
| clay and debris from the bottom, before g
perfect examination can be made. The ira
dition of the neighborhood is, that large
amount of coin was concealed there in for
mer times, and the cave has frequently beer
visited by money seekers from abroad.
After some time spent in scramblinl
through the dark passages over the falleI
rocks, the party at last reached the mouth
and extinguishing their lights, gladl,
emerged into the open mir and warm sun
| shine.

CROPS IN ILLISoIs.-A gentleman who has
just returned 10 this city from somewhat
extended tour through Illinois informs us
that in Green, Jersey, Cass, Scott, Pike
Macoupln, Fulton and neighboring counties,
the crops look very fine, and that there is a
hattering prospect for fruit OF all kinds. The
country is very bare of grain and dry feed
of every description. There have been no
sales of land, and money is an article of
great scarcity--a condition of affairs likely
TO remain until after harvest. In Knox and
McDonough counties, and all that northern
tier, winter wheat looks slim, and little was
sown. Spring wheat has been put in, how
ever, in large quantities, and the people do
not despair of a crop. There is no doubt
but that the farmers of Northern Illinois
have had hard time of it for a year or two
past, but it is hoped and expected that bet
ter day is coming.--S. Louis Republican.
