+ ALMosr SCARE. The practice os allowing
COWS TO roam the streets has been frequently al
luded to, and though contrary to city ordinance
it is of daily occurrence. Yesterday morning .
COW, who had Just been released from her stable,
created some CONSERVATION IN the lower part OF
Meeting street. by rushing ercely along, preferrlns
the sidewalk to the unpayed street. Fortunately
but few persons were in the neghborhood at the
time, and the cow took the nearest route for tho
burnt district, where meagre feast OF dusty
grass and weeds awaited her. There are many
persons who have wholesome fear Of cattle, not
withstandina their mild appearance; but when
they forget the laws Of propriety and occupy the
whole street, they should receive the same penalty
meted to unruly bipeds-be locked up for safe
keeping. The burnt district is unoccupied by any
person, and, If the COWS could be kept within its
limits, there would be no cause Of complaint; tut
when they are permitted 10 roam undisturbed IN
any portion OF the city, we think that the public,
who are not interested in cattle grazing should be
informed that there is low which imposes pen
atty on the owners Of tho stray hno.

hundred spectators.
About ! o'clock, P. NJ, the Moline club
in large wagon, drawn by four fine horses,
and accompanied by the excellent Moline
Brass Band, passed through our city, On
their way to the battle ground. The band
played as they passed through, but they
made no halt.
The Wapellos, with Copp's fine four-horse
team, were soon on the road, and reached
the ground about the same time with the
Moline club. A long line of carriages, filled

THE GARDEN OF THE UNION
The Orchards and Gardens Of Egypt.

The time is not far distant--another de-
cade will embrace it-when southern Illinois,
by nopthern ''blue bellies" derisively named
Egypt" will be the garden spot of Amer-
ca. Before ten years roll by that vast stretch
of land between the Wabash and the Missis-
sipp roilroad viii be one vast orchard and
garden, regulating by its limitless supply the
fruit and vegetable markets not only Of Hi
nois, but of nearly one-haf the Mississippi
Valley. Single orchards, embracing hun
dreds of acres, are no longer matters of
wonder; ten and even twenty acre strawber-
~ patches" are found in every county, and
nurseries there are which, supplying orders
for hundreds of thousands Of trees, fail TO
supply more than half the demand
Although we refer to this matter in general
terms, we are not without details, of nature
that would enforce conviction.
The success attending the efforts of POM
ologists and horticulturists located along the
line of the Illinois Central railroad between
Cairo and Centraha, has begotten a desire
to cultivate peaches, Strawberries, tomatoes,
ETC., that now amounts to a mania. New
orchards and gardens are planted yearly,
and old ones are yearly enlarged. Mr.. Hun
ter, of Tamaroa, one of the most extensive
nurserymen of the northwest, received local
orders for trees during the present season,
exceeding his ability to supply, more than
one hundred thousand.
Union, jackson, Perry, Washington and
Marion counties are rapidly filling up with
fruit growers from all points of the Union.
The oak and the maple are giving place to
the apple and peach the fern and the prai-
rie grass to the strawberry and vine. Brains
are enriching the soil-the arm of industry,
directed by Judgment is unfolding a mime
of wealth that will render us a great people,
and sufficiently powerful, perhaps, to compel
the Central Railway Company to hoed our
demands tor a fruit train for our especial ac-
