ANOTHER PRopIdY.-A few days since we
noticed that Mr.. w. Parish, of Paint town
ship, in this county, had a calf of the short
horned, Durham stock, six months and four
days old that weighed six hundred pounds;
now, we have to record another and still
greater prodigy: We were reliably inform
ed, Qua Monday last, that Mr.. Solomon Slut
hard, of Paint township, also has a calf OF
the short-horned stock, six months and two
days old, that weighs $50 pounds. This
calf was sired by Mr.. John SalmOn's Duke
of Paint. Paint is some on big cattle. We
expect that Jefferson will be competing fo1
the hOnors of something superior in the line
of shorthOyns, at the approaching County
| Fair.

Rtrd,s-eye view Of Washing.on.

We have recently been shown sketch,
or bird's-eye view of Washington C. H.,
drawn by Prof. Grail, of indianapolis, taken
from point west of MiIlikan's mill, at an
elevation of 1000 feet; and looking cast,
we behold the whole town spread out like
a map before us. We have examined this
sketch thoroughly. and it is so accurate
that every one can readily recognize their
own residence or building. DIR. Kemme, of
Kentucky, who is interested in the publi-
cation of these views, proposes to litho-
graph them in colors, but as this is purely
a local matter. it cannot be done unless ono
hundred copies arc sold. DR.. Kemme will
call upon our citizens and solicit subscrip-
| tions, and as these pictures will be sold il
no other way, we hope everybody will ser
its importance, not only as work Of art
but as a valuable instrument in the sale o
property, for reference &c, and as graft
fcation to absent friends. Postage, &C. il

justice by making two provoking misprints.
The types say, restore them to their ALLIE
AHcE." The writer says, restore them to
their A1LEGIANcE..'' Again, in the first col
umn, the types say, ''when Jesus Christ
entered on his mission he REPEATED the ole
covenant. The writer says, 'REPEALED the
old covenant" Quite a different thing from
REPEATING it. There are also some typo
graphical errors in both communications
which the reader will readily correct.
