It is 8 in vain to tell thorm that many tracts a ofland are to be had cheap, or even I for nothing. Work is more attrao- a tive'for themn than land, itt least at i first. For this roason,, and in conse- a quence of the large Eurqpean settle ments existing there, the emigrant, is t Rttached to the West, aud esgeeialiy r the Northwest where the fertile soil enables farmere to give ready employ- e ment to all the. laborers that may si present themselves.

On si Araininihg the conditiuns offered by the South, we can easily detect thel 1( mauses which put it at a disadvantage c, in the labor market.

At a depth of one hundred and ighty feet below the surface, while he miners were cutting through a late stone, they discovered the potri ed body of a sea serpent. We ex mined I the petrificat ion, and ean ay with truth that it is thu finest pecimon we ever saw. Unfortumate y it was broken into three pieces, and piece from near the eutre ii miss. ag-perhaps thrown out in a silver tone. A limb' had evidently fAilen. aross ie serpent about eight or ton inhos rom the head, and mashed the part ndornoath flat, and strango to say, Ven this thin part formoe into solid ;one and was taken out perfec. The rinkles in the body of thp serpent in swrithing, as it. to extricate itself ,om the stick that foil across it, wero erfeot and natural as Aho lay the Fair took place. Thu head isshaped k0 that of an eel, and the tail, from idioations, must have been supplied Ith a broad fiu, or a flat fleshy sub ance as a propeller. The eyes and io mouth can be distinctly traced, hile the body is covered with su1eli inken spots, similar to those on hog in, though not so small or numerous. his specimen is five faet three inches ing, near ten inches around the larg it part of the body. In additien to this most singular iriosity, perfect impreskins of aves, limbs, brush and other samples vegetation were taken out at this iormous depth. Among these was a autiful impression of' what is fa iliarly called snake week, or' -fern, hich grows in almost every valley aroughout the Western country. The most singular specimen is yet be described, and in attempting to >mmunieate the fact to our readers, e feel as though the history' of our rth isjust as much a mystery to tle resent generation ao.to those who habited it before' the flood-the half having not yet been told."

The heel is almost perfect, and 10 impression of something in the mel, resembling tacks or nhils, is ain and distinct. This splecimen is )out eight inches long and 'of the sual width. The petrified serpent was takcn to erre Haute and presented to Mr. hauncy Rose,-who will'dispose of it i he thinks best. We suggest, how. rer, that it, with the Mhes or a ridal le and the other specimens, be pio I in the Normal'School building, as -lics of the unwritten .history of the ist agesi of .the Wabash valley. ulhi'van County Union..

'future 1'presltient" olinging to her gloved hand 1 had entered the oar at a way sta. r tiop, and taken an unoccupied seat near his own. But this tranquility was not to last! The train came to a halt, and a large number of travellers entered. Amoug 'thom was a lady, who, turning for a moinunt, caught sight of our baolo lor's protege-for the time being-arid I with outstretched arms rushed toward I her. Why, Emily ! is it you ? What a stranger ! (smack.) . Whore have you been this age? (1mack, smack.) Why havn't you been to see rue,you doary? (smiiack) etc. Emily returned the greeting of her new found friend Ini a lik enthusiastic manner, whieh, as S- solemnly de olares "fairly made his toes tingle," and the conversation took another turn.

Tim DCusIN IN Oot.n.-The Nor i folk Day Book attributes the deoline in gold to cotton. It says cotton is gold or its -.,uivalent, and the im, inense crop of this season has added so much gold to the currency of the country th at there is really a surplus of gold, And like -any other commodi ty, when tihe supply exceeds the de. mand its prioe naturally falls and cheapens.
