VAN BUREN,

The County Seat of Crawford County,
and also the principal town, is a thriving
and improving town, pleasantly situated
on the north bank of the Arkansas river,
100 miles west of Little Rock by railroad
and $50 miles from the same point by the
river Its population numbers 1900 to
1900 There is, in soocessful operation
here three steam FIGURING Mills, which
manufacture as good flour as is made any
where, which is shipped in large quanti-
ties to Little Rock and other points he
low here; n steam Saw and Planning Mill
to which is attached machinery for max
ing mouldngs and scroll work; wagon,
buggy and carriage mandatory; three
steam cotton gins; II Broom Factory
which ships brooms to St. Louis, New
Orleans and other places. The Presby
terian, M. L. Church Sspth, Episcopal
and Catholic Societies, all have good
churches in which services arc regularly
held. The Masons, odd Fellows and
Temperance societies all have organza-
tons. There are also, two weekly news
papers published here. Van Buren, has
many buildings, both brick and frame,
that would bc an ornament to a much
larger place; her merchants and profess
iona men stand high in their several ca
pacities; and her citizens, generally, for
hospitality, etiquette and intelligence,
will rank with those of any country.
Van Buren, in consequence of her heal
thy location, her facilities for receiving
and shipping, both by rail and river, anC
cheapness of all the necessaries of life
presents great advantages for manufact
uring.

Fish-Hatching by Steam.

At the meeting Of the American Fish
'Culturists' Association, recently, pro-
fessor Miner gave an account ofthe pro-
cess of Matching shad eggs by machinery,
in operation at Havre de Grace, Md,
where over eight million shad were hatch
ed last year. The eggs to be hatched are
placed in sheet iron cylinders, with wire
netting bottoms, and half submerged In
the river. The OFFENDERS are suspended
from the short arms ofleyers, and given
aslow up and down movement by means
Of shafting carrying eccentrics acting Oh
the long arms of the levers; the whole
set in motion by ten horse power steam
engine. The engine and other machine
ry are carried by large scow, anchored
in the stream. The fish so hatched prov

INDEPENDENCE, CANDoR, CONSERVATISM,

Reduction of Prices to Suit Times.

The election of 1877 over, to congress will
all eyes turn to witness the course of political
events in America. Questions of vital inter-
est are pressing for settlement, and the dis
cussion bids fair to be prolonged and absorb
ing. The subjects of Finance, Publication,
Internal improvements, Civil Seryie Reform,
and Mexican Border Troubles, &c, are among
those which must largely occupy the public
mind The proper development of the re-
sources ofthe West and South, by means of
an improved condition of river and railroad
transportation faeilities--the utilization ofun-
employed labor in needed public werks-the
encouragement of immigration to the fertile
lands OF the Great West. are matters of ma
tional. as well as of local concern. Scarcely
less important is the support of all measures,
by whomsoever originated, aided or Endorsed,
giving to the Southern states full and free
control of their own atlairs--the only policy
leading to permanent peace. The state leg
islatnres, especially to elect United States
senators, will also be invested with interest,
as upon them and the elections of 1873 will
devolre the decision AS to whether the reins
OF political power shall continue to be held
by the republican party, the tenure of that
power now hanging by but a slender thread.
Upon these and kindred subjects the Re-
publican. which gives an earnest advocacy to
the principles of the constitutional Denocra-
cy, will always be found battling in the ranks
of the thinking, working people
of the West and South. And whilst sparing
no effort to obtain and promulgate the most
reliable information relative to American pol
tiles, the Republican VIII maintain its past
reputation for the collection of all important
and interesting news from all quarters of the
globe. Affairs in til" Eastern hemisphere,
now occupying so much attention. will not
be omitted in the design of making this pa
per regular chronicler of the exciting intel
ligence of the day and whatever enterprise
and lavish expenditure can do will be en-
poyed to produce a tirst-class news and fam
lily journal.
With the lessening in the prices of materi
ais and labor the following reductions in the
rate of subscriptions are announced:
