Icr Contrary to the rule in the
Southern and Western States, the
supply of labor exceeds the demand.
The San Francisco Alta of the 29th
ultimo says:
We may soon expect to see num-
bers Of laborers coming from the
East in search of work. They
should understand that the supply OF
unskilled labor in California, at pres
ent prices, exceeds the demand
Farmers, with capital enough to buy
land and open farms, can do we'll
and many branches of manufacture
might be established here with a GER
tainty that they would be profitable
in few years, if not Immediately
but business is in a transition condi-
ton, and prices have not accommo-
dated themselves to late changes.
We see no prospect of steady en-
ploynent for the laborers now in this
State for months to come. Our rates
of wages are nearly double those of
Iowa and Chicago with which we
come into competition, and our IN
dustry languishes because our com
petltors have an Increased advantage
over Us. Population can not increase
nor land rise much in value TIL wa,
es decline, so that steady employ
ment can be given to all corners.

Cure for Hog Cholera.

We mentioned last week that the
hog cholera had made it's appearance
in this neighborhood, which brings
out the following prescription from
a friend who has been residing in
Central Illinois, where the disease
has prevailed extensively:
Mix half pound of copperas with
two buckets of bran. Moisten the
mixture with water, and feed il TO the
hogs. Our informant says that from
his personal knowledge this is effec-
tive as preventive, and also IS q
cure if administered in the earl v
stage of the disease. He says that
coal ashes are alsoigood, but not as sure
as the former. Another preventive
is the ashes of corn cobs. Burn the
cobs in the hog yard, and the hogs
will devour large portion of the
ashes. He says further that when y
hog has died of this disease the ear
cass should be either burned or bur-
led very deep, to get rid of the odor.
If allowed to lie on the surface
where the hogs can have access 10 II
they will devour the Carcass and
thus a whole drove is liable to he
come infected.-Gdlcna G0eette

LETTER FROM BLUE RIVER.
Seed Plsndng-SIiII BuFned-aIiKcd PepuIa-
tIon--Educattcnsl.

Mr.. COVER As you have no cor
respondent in this town l will take
the liberty to write you short note
about affairs among the bluffs of
Blue River.
The farmers are very busy getting
in their wheat, and are sowing about
the usual number of acres, notwith-
standing the low price of grain.
Neither grain nor grass will grow
much until we have some rain. The
ground has been frozen in the morn
ing for several days.
The Blue River mill, owned by
Krietz 81 Natures, was burned last
Saturday night it is supposed that
the fire was set by some scalawag.
The mill was erected last summer at a
cost of So, 900, commenced work some
time in December and was. giving gen.
eral satisfaction. There was $4,000
insurance in the Phoenix on the
property.
Blue River is the toughest section
of the county, but it if filling up rap
idly with people from the old coun-
tries, chiefly Bohemians. Our popu.
lation is composed of nine nationali-
ties, Bohemians, Germans, Irish,
Norwegians, Americans, English,
Scotch, WEIGH and Poles, among
whom are many poor men, but nc
paupers. 1t has been said that we
are below par in educational matters,
but document was Untreed recently
that proves the contrary. Last Fall
our supervisors laid out q road
through field belonging to Bohe,
milan, who did not want it there and
so made great ado about it. This
spring the road overseer. with some
hands, went down to finish opening
the road, when he found tie follow.

Dubuque and her Railroad Projects.

The Dubuque people are joyful
over the probability Of the carly
completion of the railroad to Platte
vile, and its continuance to tho riy-
er, which will give them connection
by rail with Milwaukee and the rich
agricultural portions Of this State.
We learn that Mr.. Robbins, when in
New York few weeks since, in ad-
dstion to efecting arrangements for
the completion of the road to Platte
vile, succeeded in purchasing iron
enough to secure the construction of
the remaining portion of the road
ia the mouth of Platte river and
thence to Dunleith along the river
bank.
The Dubuqueians lately raised
$500, 600 in aid Of the DUBUQUE and
Minnesota Railroad, and their long
talked Of project is likely to be de.
velcped. This road which is to ex-
tend through the Turkey Valley
country will give Dubuque the trade
end produce Of one Of the richest
agricultural regions in the West. AT
g meeting held at Dubuque on the
18th inst, the following gentlemen
were elected Board of Directors of
the ID. 81 M. r. r.: J. III. Merrill,

The Wheat Market.

The impression seems to be gen.
eral that "hard pan" has been reached
In tho wheat market, and few
operators profess to be contemplating
an advance in prices. The grounds
on which this conclusion is arrived
are that the English farmers are
largely discounting the culture of
wheat this year, in view of the in
creasing supply frem other countries,
and the uncertainty OF the wheat
crop IN HAT climate. This being
the case, the demand on foreign
countries for the supply of Great
Britain and Ireland will be largely
increased. 1t is believed, too, that
IN the United States. except on the
Pacito coast, the planting of wheat
will be much less this year than last,
owing to the losses suffered by the
farmers on the crops Of the last two
years. American farmers are turn
ing their attention to corn, pork and
fiax-seed, in s6me quarters almost
exclusively, and the prospect is that
we shall have much less wheat to
offer for export in 1871 than now.
There is, however, no fear that the
British market will not be literally
supplied. 10 California the promise
Is good for larger wheat crop than
ever, and we believe the same is true
on the European continet. Prices
can scarcely be expected to exhibit
very large advance in England,
and if the United States has any
wheat to offer for export, the Liver
pool quotations will determine the
prices in our home markets.
There remains but one way in
which the farming community can
hope to make wheat growing on a
large scale profitable in the near
future. That is, in reduction OF
the cost of sending their property to
market. The prediction of Sir
Samuel Morton Peto, that wheat
would be moved from Chicago "a
Liverpool for 20 cents per busheI, ID
not yet realized, but the indications
are that il will be at no very distant
day. The interests of both producer
and consumer the great mass OF
civilized society in both hemispheres
| demand that the cost of transfer and
Intermediate handling, shall be re-
duced TO minimum, and The demand
must be complied with Chicago
Tribune.

Thus tar the controversy respect-
ing the Bible in the common schools
presents two phases. In Cincinnati
Inc issue was made direct upon the
propriety of using it at all. There
It's use was sustained upon the broad
ground of morality. In New York
1t has taken a more subtle turn. The
direct issue is avoided, but all it's con-
sequences become prominent in she
repeal Or retention OF system
which gives the public moneys for
the support of soctarian schools out
side Of cannon school system. This
diversion of the public funda for the
purposeldf propitiating secbs has been
carried - an alarming extent. Last
year the common schools of the State
were robbed of $500,00O. which went
into the :exohequer of church or de-
nominatiDnal schools. We under
stand tbs Catholics get the most of
it, becaase they chiefly object to
schools 6here the Bible is read, and
because their political strength is
chiefly c9urted. But be this as as it
may, tho giving or withholding Of
this fund in the. futare,is made to turn
upon the propriety of having the
Bible in the schools. 1t is the Gin
cinnati question in another shape.
Prominent men in New York are
moving in the matter, and bitter
war will ensue. As the Bible has
triumpbed for thousands of years
over every thing narrow and preju-
diced, so it will come out the victor
in these contests.-Foraey'S Press.

The Iriah Force Bill.

We are told that oil is G peoitica-
tor when poured upon turbulent
waters but England is striving to
make peace by pouring it on roaring
fire. The passage of the Force bill
is the very last thing England should
have done in the present state of
public feeling in Ireland. The dis
contented populace have asked for
bread, and have received stone.
They have asked for larger liberty,
and Parliament has taken from them
the little they had. The Force bill
is q bill Of coercion. 1t authorizes
the instant suppression of newspa-
pers on a charge of "sedition," and
the arbitrary arrest and imprison-
ment of Irishmen without a trial !;
and the enforcement of the law is
placed in the hands of the hirelings
of the crown, and the haters of Irish
freedom. Indignation meetings have
been held in all parts of the island,
and some journals have gone into
permanent mourning for the "death
of liberty"
Now, of course, Fenianism will
spring up anew, and such poor DEM
agogues as O'Donovan Rosa will
take q fresh lease of popularity.
England has made wild blunder,
wholly unworthy of such men as the
present Premier. This spiteful re-
spouse to the cry of liberty that has
gone up from the green island for the
last hundred years, belongs to the
resenttul and malicious manners of
the sixteenth and seventeenth CEN
turies-not to the wise and generous
diplomacy of the nineteenth. 1t Is
binder and less civilized than Rus
sia's treatment of Poland, or SPANS
methods toward Cuba. 1t will sure
ly bring retaliation and finally, let
"a hope, reaction IN the interest Of
enlightenment and law. - Chicago

the argument for the same, was un-
expeetedly called away. Governor
Merrill, Of Iowa, will be here to day
for the same purpose. Favorable ac-

many important measures pending,
