NOT YET.-Work is not yet begun upon the
proposed experiment of sinking through the ce-

Surely there is place for the gold down there,
if they can only find it. Bill Kincaid, by the
way, repudiates being the public-spirted hole
digger that we represented him in our last. If
the court knows itself, and he thinks it does, he
is not going to devote his entire time to making
that hole. We thought he was becoming re-
markably generous in his old age, but told the
story as we heard it. Bill says, however, that
he is willing to devote as much time and atten-
ton to the enterprise as any one else. There is
some diversity of opinion respecting the prob
able success of the experiment, but it is believed
to be well worth n trial.

TARANTULA.-A writer in the Marys-
vile Call Standard of July 25th has the
following in regard to the tarantula, an
animal that is occasionally found on the
bananas that find their way to our mar
kets: "a few days since, while walking
on the levee, we discovered large taran-
lula also taking an airing. Its size was
unusual, and we resolved on its capture,
but Immediately upon touching it with
our stick its size diminished one-half, and
minute specks were seen running in every
direction these upon examination proved
to be young tarantulas, and almost infni-
tessimally small. We counted over one
hundred and fifty of them. We with
drew few steps, and they gradually re.
collected on the back of the old one, when
she deliberately marched off. The query
in our mind is, GLOW did the old one
know when they were all together?"

Timber Growing at the West.

"Where is your timber ?" we hear
among the first questions asked by East
ern people as they for the first time view
the beautiful prairies of Iowa.
What do you do for timber 2" is a
question as often asked.
That there is scarcity of this in por-
ton, and perhaps the larger part, of these
vast gardens which God has given us to
improve and beauty, cannot be denied
but is this as great disadvantage as many
seem to suppose? The timber being con-
fined to the streams, leaves broad stretch
of prairie between the streams without q
tree or shrub. These clean prairies afford
us the very best foundation for good farms
and beautiful homes.

Fairbanks, that they have accordingly
allowed him to dictate the selection OF
the directors, and that he has made SO
poor a choice that two of the best men on
the board have refused to serve. This
shows that there is trouble in the board
which is to be regretted; but Mr.. Fair
banks is not in the habit of making mis-
takes, and we don't believe the road will
fail after all. The writer says the work
is in progress, but complains that thu
