be made, which at present. or price S likely
to rule, will bring as much as a whole crop
did before the war. The hopes of the South

fair cotton crop. As the prospect for this
grows bright or gloomy, SO will the hearts
of the tillers of the soil swell with exulta-

completed. We published last week the ord ell
of exercises for the day, in this city.
The grand entertainments to be given by the
Antideluvian Gollgonisters, will be one of the
principal events of the day. The perfcr finance
of this band of Minstrels will be of the highest
order, and cannot fail to crafty those who are
fortunate enough to attend.
At Lake Mills preparations have been made

The certainty of obtaining water at d depth
generally not exceeding LOO feet, and the great
advantage Of a flowing fountain has made these
wells very common in our city. Although in
most localities a flowing stream of water can
be reached by boring deep enough, yet the cost
of sinking them to a great depth W i'll preclude
their being put down in many places. At
Madison for instance the Artesian well in the
Capitol park has already reached depth of
nearly four hundred feet, and cost thousands of
dollars and yet the drill is now being sunk in

of approaching vein of water. 1t is a great
