G&- A gentleman who has travelled
extensively in the West and Southwest
reports that in the States of Illinois, In
diana, and Ohio, fuller crops will be
planted this spring than perhaps during
any OF the past three years. The places
of enlisted men are fast being supplied
by young persons growing up, and the
refugees from the South are very num-
erous, and will furnish much labor,
which they will be compelled to do
through necessity rather than incliua-
ton. In Kentucky less than an average
crop of grain and vegetables will be
planted this spring, In the celebrated
" Blue Grass region, the decline will
probably be one-third, which may be
taken as an average for the whole State
Farmers evince disposition rather to
hire out their lands for year or two
than to plant for themselves, and are
more ready to SOW grasses than grains
Labor. is necessarily demoraized;"
though, perhaps, less so than might have
been expected.

ton of the celebration had on Monday
at thesUpper School House, for the very
good reason that we didn't know of it
until yesterday. We are merely a hire

We will be obliged to any friend who
will furnish us memoranda of anything
of the kind, Of general interest, that oc-
ours where we are not present, as early
afterwards as possible.
The celebration at the Upper School
House, as We learn, was highly interest
ing. The pupils Of the Girls and Boys
Grammar Schools met in. one rooms and
passed an hour in singing patriotic
songs, as few but they can sing, inter
spersed with cheers for Grant, Lincoln
aad Mayor Baker, and spiced with a
speech from one of the boys.
The ceremonies ended BY singing,
with becoming reverence, that beautiful
doxology,
..Praise God, from whom all blessings aow."

shown specimens of building rock, from
quarry recently discovered on Green
River, about sixty miles from this city,
of a character superior to any we have
before seen in this section Of country.
The specimens are of nice sand stone,
of variety Of colors, from that Of al
most snow whiteness to dark brown or
maroon. They are Of fine texture
and will dress beautifully, and are found
in strata ranging from tour inches to
twenty-four inches in thickness.
If gentlemen OF capital and energy
would take the matter Of operating a
quarry in hand, they could make a nice

immense demand in this city for the
rock for building purposes want thai

sa~ The Indianapolis Journal,

B6- The Indianapolis Journal in
speaking of intemperance &nd the tax
on liquor says: "We learn that the
friends of temperance, in consequence
of the great reduction of intemperance
produced by the tax on liquors, intend
to petition Congress, when il meets this
summer, to increase the tax on whisky,
and other strong liquors, from one, to
two dollars per gallon more. No tenn
perance movement ever had one-half
the effect of 'suppressing intemperanee
as the present tax. It is estimated that,
under the existing tax, from oBe-haf to
three-fourths less liquor is. consumed |;
and as a natural result, if the tax is in
creased, there must be an additional re-
duction in the consumption. Madison

A great reduction of intemperance
may have been produced by the tax on
liquor, but we dare say neither the In
dianayolis Journal nor the Madison
Courier has discovered any such reduc-
ton in their cities We are quite sure
the consumption here is about as large
as ever, and we make no attempt to
compete with Indianapolis in that par
