ORAWF0RDSVILLE LETTER.

Editors journal:
Although there have been Conven-
tions enough in this place, during the
last few weeks TO do fer the State,
there has not happened much of in
terest to our part of the world,
Women, wine and flowers have long
occupied the attention of man, but
here women, wine and railroads are
the constant themes. Several Woman
Suffrage Conventions have been held,
much to the interest and edi6cation
Of the people, and there is some talk
of one of the leaders of the movement
running for Congress, Orth and Wal
lace to the contrary Notwithstanding.
The temperance cause has been agi-
tated some, and now and then rather
lively discussions were provoked on
the expediency of temperance party.
It is earnestly hoped that the move
ment may end in sweeping saloons
from this place, but the new bricks"
rising for this specific purpose are
not the best induces of its progress.
Much interest has been manifested
in the Sunday School Convention, and
this great work may do as much or
more than all else to create a public
sentiment which will stay the tide of
immortality.
The work on the l. & G. r. r. is
being pushed forward, while surveys
are now being made to points East
and North for other roads. From the
interest manifested here In this work,
Charlottesville promises to be quite
railroad center before many years
elapse. May the extension of the
r. Il G. r. r. make this conduee to
the welfare of Southern Indiana.
Quite large audience assembled to
hear DIR. Tuttle's sermon on 1.-THE

On Christmas, Mr.. Z. G. johnson
drove his buggy to the Post Office,
and jumping out, left his little child,
some three years old. in the Luggy.
while he went into the Post Office for
his mail. He had just stepped into
the Office when boy threw a bunch
Of shooting crackers under the horse,
frightening him so that he at once
dashed off at the top Of his speed with
the buggy and child.
Mr. J ohDson saw the danger to his
child, and started with all his fleet
ness, and overtakipg the buggy climb
ed into it, seized the lines, and stopped
the frightened horse, thus, no doubt,
saving the child's life. The scene
was most thrilling one, and those
who witnessed it experienced the
greatest relief when the frightened
horse was checked up.-Ne1o albany

SILVER IN HARDIN COUNTY, ILL.

Rose Claire Mines, in Hardin County,

from the famous Comstock Mines, in
Nevada, and is said to assay the pre-

Recent Failures.

Notwithstanding the general COM
plant of hard times and the stringency
Of the money market, there are really
less failures this season than usual. A
prominent New York merchant fur
nishes the Post of that city with the
number Of failures throughout the
country between November 4 and
December 10, 1869. as compared with
the corresponding period in 1863. The
excess of failures in 1868 was one
hundred and forty-three over those
for the above banned period this year.
When ii is remembered that the
months Of November and December
are the duilest il the year, and that
the stringency is then greater than at
any other time, it viii be found that
the crossings about hard times are
not based upon facts. It is true.
money is scarce and business dull. but
it is not unusually so for the season.
He concludes his letter as follows:

still a man whose life was a fail
