Much alarm has been excited among
the holders of Seven Thirties" by the
discovery that large number of coun
terieit thousand. dollar notes are in ixis-
tence. 1t is only short time since the
first one was datetected, aud the total
amount is estimated at Que million of dol.
lars. The imitation of the genuine note
is so perfect that many think that the
spurious plates must have been obtained
from the Treasury Department. Detec-
tiyes are now at work to discover their
origin. This grand fraud upon the gov.
ernmcnt and the people is one of the ma
tural results of the wholesale pardoning
of counterfeiters which has been prac
ticed by President Johnson during the
last year or two.

of twenty votes in favor of Williams, thus
increasing Sharswoood's vote two hund,

The sums total are-For Sharswood, 26f,

That the Synods and Presbyteres acting m

the declaration and testimony are not
recognized as constituents Of the
Church, SO as 10 enutle them TO repro

their loyal and obedient opposing organiza-
tions, in the same territory, are recognized
and admitted to representation by their dele
gates.
The report further provides, that all Minis
tiers and others, who signed the said declara
ton and testimony, may, on recanting in wri'
ting, and acknowledging the authority Of th,
General Assembly, be re-instated and all 9th
ers, may be enrolled again and admitted t
their former position, upon the simple ex
preston of desire to adhere TO the Genera

does not recommend any action against tn,
recusants, but allows them to reinstate them

acknowledgement, substantially that the Genera

While the action is not stringent in its bearing
personally upon those under the eensure 0
the Church, it still seems to be sufficient,
clear and decided to yindicate the position o
the Church, and to maintain the dignity anC
the authority Of the General Assembly.
At the latest accounts this Report was IN

was elciting very deep interest and causing
some excitement, but nothing to be compare,
to that of last year.

out the herds grass and red clover, and
to bring in the blue grass and white
clover, which need no seeding. 1t Is
expected that these pastures once es-
tabIished will be permanent, and fully
equal in value TO the celebrated blue
grass pastures OF Kentucky. 1t seems
to flourish quite as well here as in KEN
lucky, ana it only needs gooi hus-
bandry to make their pastures quite as
famous.
It is expected, when the whole tract
is brought into grass, that IL Will carry

ductiyeness iustitie6 this estimate
The cattle of three or four years of age
are bought of fdrOvers and small farmers
from January TO April, wherever they
can be bought to the best advantage.
The corn is drawn from the field where
it was raised, and where it has stood in
shocks through the winter, and Is fed
out TO the cattle upon the open prairie.
They eat the corn quite clean, and the
leaves from the stalks. They are also
fed with hay, OF which about nine
hundred tons were cured last year.
The cattle come to grass in high condi-
ton, and in June or July the best OF
them are ripe for the butchers, and
they are soldo IL in lots to suit purchRs-
ers, as they faITeu through the sum-
mer and fall. A lot Of one hundred
and seYenIy-siN bullOcks, averaging a
little over / 400 pounds each, was sold
the last of July at seven and half
cents Il pound. The custom is TO sell
by live weight, twelve hours after the
cattle have been last fed and watered.
This sale amounted to over SlS, 600.
There were ], go acres in corn last year.
and the yield was about forty bushels
to the acre; 500Hcres were sown in win
ter wheat, much of which was winter
killed; $50 acres were sown with spring
wheat of the Italian and Tea varieties,
which were decided success. Thus
far much more money has been ex-
pended than received in this enterprise

The immense consumption of beef
cattle in the great seaboard cities has
built up a greut business. extending
across the Mississippi Valley into
Texas. There are at least four distinct
branches of this business; the raising
of the cattle in districts where there are
no foreclosures, and where ear-marks are
the only badge of owner ship; the pur.
chase and removal of these cattle to the
more thickly settled regions where
there are enclosed pastures, and beef is
higher; the fattening OF these animals;
and their forwarding to the Eastern
markets.
There are many farms In the West,
some of them of vast extent, whose
chief product Is fat beeves. The whole
farm is managed with reference to this
result. II grain and grass are raised
il is to feed 10 cattle. II hogs are kept
it is to consume what the cattle do not
perfectly digest, and to gather up the
waste. If wheat is raised, it Is for the
purpose of subduing the soil, and get
ling 1t into better condition to produce
grass. Messrs. Fowler and Earl,
OF Lafayette, Ind, have n farm of
"a 900 acres in Benton county of that
State. which is worked exclusively to
prepare cattle for market. The enter
prise was begun some three years ago,
and, as will be SEEN has involved a
large expenditure of capital. The land
alone, at six dollars an acre, must
have cost nearly sl50,0OO. The tract
lies upon Mud and Sugar Creeks, aud
is about eight miles long, by five broad,
and is we'll watered by these streams.
The first step taken toward improve
ment was the inclosure and SUBJ .divi-
sion of l3, 600 acres of the prairie with
board fence. This was made with
cedar posts, seven and half feet long,
three feet in the ground, and placed at
distance of six feet apart. Upon
these, boards were nailed, making
fence four and half feet high. The
1900 acres were divided into eleven
fields, making in all about forty-three
miles OF board fence, at a cost OF $3.50
mile, or $50, ,550.- The remaining IL 600
acres have just been furnished with
seventy-seven miles Of Usage Orange
hedge, which will be in condition to
turn cattle, in three years from plant
ing. The farm aud the improvements
are under the efficient management of
a. D. Raub, Esq, who resides upon the
place. ....-s......
are more nutritious than the wild, and
the aim is to bring about a thousand
acres year into meadow. This re-
uuires at least two years of cropping.
The prairie is brokeniu May and June
with i've yoke OF cattle and d plow,
which turns a furrow from eighteen to
twenty-five inches wide, and about
three inches deep. This is planted with
corn, which receives no cultivation,
and Yields about forty bushels to the
acre. The corn is followed by wheat,
either ofthe fall or spring variety, and
with the wheat is sown a mixture of
four parts of herds grass and one OF red
clover, at The rate OF Que bushel 10 i've
acres. This is moved the FIRST season
after It takes Possession, and after that
1t is tut rned into pasture. The tendency
OF the pasturing, it is thought, is TO run
