The Battle Creek Literary society has
been directing their attention to the
discussion Of the question, Resolved,
that money is the cause Of more evil
than all other things combined" which
has finally been decided in the negative.
We have not given this question much
attention, but we can seriously assert
this fact, whether it be admitted in ar
gument or not, that if our evil propensi.
ties were proportionate with our bank
account, we would be amply eligible to
a leading sit in the front row ofGideon's
band. The society will, at their next
meeting, discuss England's diplomatic
policy toward Ireland. as to it's justice,
etc. and We earnestly hope hat they
may reach an early solution Of this
knotty and perplexing question.

Custer county criminal item, is in this
instance a little too previous, being
glaringlv In error as to date, as this little

We hear considerable complaint con-
corning the ice deposit on the Buffalo
Gap road about Ave miles from this
place, which is occasioned, as we are in
formed, by the leakage from a small
fume, and which has had the effect Of
making it extremely difficult to pass
with teams. The county commissioners
shculd give this matter their early atten
ton, as the good condition Of our roads
should always be deemed Of paramount
importance.

borse Department.

The Middlebury REGISTER now for more
than n year has been giving much original
and valuable information upon Morgan and
other celebrated horses. 1t intends to con-
tinuc publishing such information from week
TO week, giving at least IA page to its Horse
Department. When sufficient material has
accumulated we expect to place it in book
form, publishing first our volume upon
the Morgan Horse, and afterwards II Reg
lister of the more distinguished sires and
performers. In the latter we hope to include
all 80 performers, with their breeding, so far
rs can be ascertaincd; also to distinguish be.
tween things that are known and things that
are not known, in every pedigree. In all cas-
as the evidence upon which the pcdigrccS are
based will be given to the public through the
columns of THE MrDDLEBURY REGISTER This,
we are satisfied, is what the public wants and
ought to have. Many judgments are better
than one.
THE REGISTER by reason of this extensive
information and this method of giving it, is
rapidly becoming Indispensable to all breed
ers and horscmen. II should also be i'm cX-
cellent medium for advertisers, especially
those dealing in Morgan horses.
Preserve your files, for they will form, with
the full indexes thereto, most valuable and
available cyclopedia OF horse matters.

Our excellent friend, Frank II. Dunton
of The Spirit II the TUrt. is evidently ON

charge of the office copy the table pub
lished by us, prepared by l.. l.. Dorsey,
Esq, which gives the fastest trotter got
by each son of Golddust that has Il trot-
ter with record to his credit The aston
ishing thing about the matter is not so
much that it appears in the editorial col
umns without credit, but that the table
should be printed under such comment
as this "Golddust was foalcd in the
year 1875. but has, under adverse circum-
stances. produced the following trot-
ters." By publishing our table under
that remark the boys have succeeded adj
mirably in giving the play of Hamlet
