We stopped at the Denniston Htase, Wi
Col. MAsoN, wsso is the present lnanag
aud who is becoming much Of a favont
with visitors and citizens.

harvest time makes Casyille quiet, wee

Towns. The business prospects Of Cass
1ville may be calculated for the coming fal

merchants of that place. Zach will pay

About third of the surplus produce Of
Grant County, is usually sold and shipped

bushels Of wheat; oats, sorn, barley, pork,

from Cassyille for the current year COM
n1eneing with the fall tide Of 1860 viii be
loyer- q million dollars, most Of which
Iamount viii be paid out il cash. We must
also reckon the trade from the west side OF
the river, opposite CasrilIe, which also
flows into that place, thqe being no other
accessible market for spsce Of some twelve
Imlies of river coast pnth, westside. The
trade Of Cassyile from the Iowa side
amounts from a third to a falf as much as
that Of Grant, but owing to the impassa-
bic bottom on the Iowa side, such trade is
mainly brought over in the winter. There
Is, however, good horse ferry at CassSille,
which answers for incidental passing, but
the charge, however low, operates as al
most prohibitory tariff. The ferry ought
to be free most Of the year, especially when
the river is not blidged with ice. Large as
The figures may appear, the estimates are
made upon substantial facts. Cassyille is
supplied with storage room, and
Ter buyers haze unlimited capital. 1t is

The Improvement Of morals, conduct,

larkable of late, at Cassyille. The dozen

70 persons were bapfised and added to

.membered, answered the call advertised
i the Herqld two years ago, signed by men
{ pious New England parents whose sons
ad in early life strayed to Cassville and
atan some twenty years ago, but in whom
lat spark of love to God instiled by pious
lothers was Lot totally extinguished-
assyille is this day the most moral, wei

ountry, and her people are proud Of it.
As morality bcgets thought and godli-
