Zionsville, on the Lafayette road,
about.twenty miles from this city, has
lately manifested a decidedly progress
sive spirit Under the impetus given
to business, the place is rapidly i'm
proving. An addition of thirty acres
has been made to the town, and the
new lots are being rapidly improved
Some eight or ten handsome brick
buildings are in process of construc-

springing up in all directions, like
mushrooms after rain. In addition
to other improvements, a magnificent
ceminary building will be erected dur

thing in the world to remedy the evil
she has caused Time only can eff
