interest of the higher rate.
The return to specie payments. in the
event Of which only will the option to pay
interest in Gold be availed of. would so re-.
duce and eguaize prices that purchases
made with six per cent. in gold would be
fully equal TO those made with seven and
three tenths per cent. in currency This is

Nov offered By the Government, and its
superior advantages make it the
GREAT POPULAR LOAN Of THE PEOPLE.

thorized by the last Congress are now on

WARD TOWNSHIP.

The farmers are making good use
of the time in getting in their crops.
The most Of the planting is done.
There is good prospect for an
abundant yield of wheat the coming
harvest.
Mrs. Do1G, widow lady, died on
last Sabbat6. 81 consumption.
We have the news of the capture
of jeff. Da<is, 1sed in his wife 8
petticoats. II lines these gar
ments are efe. ptection, but in
this instance they did not have the
desired effect.
The war may now be regarded as
over in the South, but there is still
some bellicose movements in the
North. We had demonstration
here OF this character, in Deerfield,
on last Saturday, between Catharne
Force and Christina Seers-the for
mer used the broom, while the latter
was found good at pulling hair.
They were separated without being
MORALLY wounded. 1t is certainly
bad enough for men to fight like
dogs, let alone the gentler sex en-
gaging in pugilistics.
