The farmers in this county are
now bringing to this market large
quantities of choice winter wheat,
the product of the harvest, which
is being converted into -four at the
Pioneer Mill. What a difference
in the situation now and a few
years ago. 1t is but very short
time since the number of farmers
in Alpena county could be counted
on the fingers Of one hand, and
every ounce of -four consumed by
that small number was conveyed
to this city from other portions of
the State. Now that the valuable
lands in our vicinity are finding
enterprising men to till the soil,
Alpena county is fast becoming
self-maintaining in the way Of rails
ing produce. and the time is not
far distant when there will be
more produce raised in this section
than can he consumed here, aud
will, of course, find a market at
other ports.

Roman Magniflcence.

II anything was wanted to give us an
idea of Roman magnificence, we would
turn our eyes from public monuments, de-
moralized games and grand professions.
We would forget the statues in brass and
marble, which outnumbered the living i'll
habitants, so numerous that one hundred
thousand have been recovered and still em-
bellish Italy; and would descend into the
lower sphere of material life those things
which attest luxury and taste-to orna.
ments, dresses, sumptuous living and rich
furniture.
The art of using metals and cutting prec-
ious stones surpassed anything known at
The present day.
In the decoration of houses, in social en-
tertainments,iu in cookery, the Romans were
remarkable. The mosaic, signet rings,
canoes, bracelets, brouZes, vases ,couches,
banquetins tables lamps. charlots, ,colored
glass, gliding, mirrors, mattresses, ,cosmet-
ics, perfumes, hair dyes, silk ribbons, pot
tericS all attest great elegance and beauty.
The tables of thuga root and Delian bronze
were IL expensive as the sideboard of Span
ish walnut so much admired in the Great
Exhibition at London.
Wood and ivory were carved as eXquis-
itelv as in Japan or China.
Mirrors were made OF polished silver.
Glass cutters could initiate the colors of
precious stones so well that the Portland
vase, taken from the tomb OF Alexander
Sryerus, was long considered as genuine
-ardouyX; brass could be hardened 50 as
to cut stone.

his bed room. \ banquet dish OF DGsilsasa
