We learn that United States SEN

met with a pecuniary disaster so
serious and far-reaching as to al

vance, and is still held for $4,000.

be well founded, will produce a

speculative, rapidly building era is
past. Our railroads are mainly
built, our commercial points settled.
We must depend henceforth upon
the steady, gradual development of
the agricultural resources of the
state. The growth of our towns
will depend upon the growth of the
country around them and upon the
exceptionable advantages, i'll some
