From the Danvilie (lIIs lluIes.
Inc farmers vi New England who Diast
holes IN the ground to plant few acres
vi beans ami corn hops, doubtless have
imperfect notions Of the srex Of soue OF
our western farms. Here, IN Nermillion
county, \ single individual owns and
manages seven thousand acres, while
other farms of still greater magnitude
may he found in adjoining counties. Mr..
John Sideli, Of the township
bearing his name, has domain Of seven
thousand acres. The tract is six
miles long, and varies from one to
two miles IN width. Running through its
entire length is the Little Vermiilion
river, skirted for two miles with beautiful
groves and clusters Of thickets. 1000
acres are in meadow, and as much more IN
blue grass pasture, and tho remaining
thousand is devoted to corn. Roaming
over the great pasture are fifteen hundred
head of cattle, u thousand Of which will
soon be shipped to New York city. Mr..
Sidell has also about y thousand hogs on
his place. The corn he raises, together
with thousands of bushels that no buys
annually, is consumed on his farm. lie
employs about forty teams and fifty men,
and has nine comfortable tenement houses
upon lNo plhuNklOu lutIo
roads through his premises, but MIR. Sldel
says it is u highway OF itself Wagon
roads run through the pastures from one
end Of the domain to the other, with gates
at the fence crossings. The farm abounds
in springs, and Is drained throughout

ter of mile from Mr. Sidells house. lp
the event of the completion Of these roads

Mr.. Side,l has thirty miles Of hedge,
and he expects to plant much more. His
business involves more capital than is

"Who hath rcdness of eye who bath the
deuce Of hearts, who hath many inhrmi-
ties 2--he that tsrrietb long over n glass

ALiTrLE TEMPERANCE STORY,
With . high-presurs moral attached, to
which your correspondent desires 10 call
the attention OF all Good Tomplsrs. Said
the Cairovite, said he: There now resides
in my town, Cairo, n gentleman Of four

Friday night, looked the wine when
it was red But the - WAS shaken from
center to circumstance, as It never was
before. Everybody signed the pledge
promising to 90 their way and ain no
more. A committee approached my
friend of four and forty summers,
and begged the Influence of
his name to the total abstinence
pledge.
Wherefore, said no. For forty and
four summers, and ss many springs and
winters, have | never pressed the poisoned
chslice to nv virgin lips Wherefore
now should | sign your paper Go g.,
you are all vanity and vexstionHf spirits !

However, they COED not to cd, but said .

everything to gain, by your simple auto

"He went nome that doleful night with
his han upon his brow.
Wife, said he, for four and forty
years have 1 lived aud RETAINED from
drink, and have never wanted II. But
they've made me swear total abstinence,
and to die without ever getting drunk
once. But for that pledge might remain
sober forever, for l have never before
| felt the least dispos ton to indulge. But
you may bet your boots, old gal, W go
