THE ISff,OOJIIiWFOi POST

FRIDAY

CCTOLER 27, 1837.

A ll'hajpcr. Ua Tuesday last, we were shown a rear, take:i from n tree in the guidon of Mrs. Batterton of this place, which weighed one pound avd three quarters. Il is what 13 called the winter Pear, and we understand they can he put up and kept through the winter liko apples. The avcraga weight of the pears which giew upon this tree for the lust two or three fca-tons is near one pound. This is certainly very de.irfcblo fruit and should be sought by every farmer in the country. !t is the only fruit of the kind we know of in this county. Our contemporary of the Hennepin Journs.1, in the Sticker state, in speaking of a lurge Pumpkin which grew in that neighborhood thi3 season, says he would

ta glad if some person would furnish him with a Sweet-

pzta'.ce la;gn enough for him to set on one end whilst the other is roasting. We have no such potatoes in this part of the Hoosisr state, but if we had any way

cf conveyance, we would surely send him this large

Pear, fir it would certainly make him a very genteel ilscl itcp'Jy applied. lLit:!e decency of the Democrat, says: "The citi

zens of Indianapolis have no knowledge of the Phila

delphia baby ever having drawn a cowhide on any of

c-ur citizens." It is true, they have no knowledge of

uny of their citizens having a cowhide drawn upon

them, but they well know a certain pel monkey w ho

has staid there some time, hid one drawn and used upon him f-r his loud and disgraceful chattering about respectable citizens. This has no doubt had a good effect upon the little aiimal, and will doubtless prevent hiinfio.n again showing his teeth to his superiors.

Our friends of the Jetforsonv i'.Ie Courier, appear to be very much gratified in conseijuer.ee of a Mr. PadtccK, of that p'ace having succeeded iu building a low et.gine. This rou.ewhat surprised us, for w had thought that Je.T-troonv il'e, (situated in th land or engines) hud long r.inco built her hundred. Why bless ycur souls friends, we havo had lour very superior cr.es built "awny out here in the wocd.n Our fellow townsmen, SLEEKS & Seward, have been following the business for some time, but as engines had become so common throughout the country, wo were afraid to ircj about. If you should ever travel from your town to curs, call at Sparks' Ferry on the Fast Fork of White liver, and there you will see, perhaps, us complete an engine as you ever did see, built in this place the pas', summer, k by the above named gentlemen. There are three others in this county t;f their building which are no: infeiior to any in this country. So Mr. Courier you are not ahead cf us in the way ofengir.es. I'V'-vjrs should happen to get broke j'J.-t send it up here and it shall be repaitcd in the very best manner. An inJivi-kial by the name of Warden, whom our rradrrs will iccdlect we notice 1 a short time since, as having robbed the trunk ofa Dr. Cool;, in Lafayette, was arruign-d for tiial at the la'e term of the Circuit Court held in that place. The piisonor pled guilty, and was sentenced to the Sia'e prison fur three years. lie j represented to be a young matfof good education, and says he is ofa rrs vec a'dc family in Niw York. J. II. W. Frank, one of the publishers f the Mercury, published at Lafayette, had his trial at the late term of tb?LoYc named court, fortha murder in Dec. last, of John Woods merchant of that place. The jury cccidod that the prisoner was "not guilty.'

The Junior editor of the Democrat, says we must tc a very Irave man. Why so Mr. Junior, do you ihir.k every man who does not tamely submit to having his back stiiped with a whip or cowhide i.s bravtl RUNNING OFF. A young farmer in the interior of France had lately agreed touloje with the daughter of one of his neighbors who had refused to give his consent to their marriage. Every thing was arranged; but it appears that our young Lothario had forgoMcu that secrecy whs an impoitant point in u flairs- of this kind. He had confided his ptojeet to one or two of his particular friends, who. singnl.ii ly enough were no mote decreet than they should be. On the appointed evening he was ut the window of his inamorato; the trembling fair one Alighted at the pic-ar ranged signal, and sprung upon the pillion of her love 1 'a horse. Cut before the party had piocceded far, the gentle lady began to apply u cudgel most vigorously to the shoulders of the amourcos swain, who was sometime before he discovered that his travelling companion was no other than the brother ;f the object of his affections, whose well-nerved arm inflicted a sound correction upon the would be gallant, kuJ extoi ted fiom him a solemn promisi toabstaiu from all Hitch ettempts for the future.

Annual Stock Fair. - The exhibition of fine stock which took place at Bloomington, Indiana, on the 13th and 14th inst. done honor to the enterprising sons of industry, who have neither spared pains, expense, nor industry in procuring fine stock to appear in tho field as competitors for prizes, and, indeed a number have been amply rewarded and their anticipations realized. The fait was atttended by a -number of respectable farmers, who appeared to manifest a considerable disposition to become the propogntors- of tine stock and be 110 longer found standing aloof, but have their names not -inscribed on an obelisk that will totter and full to the ground, but have them recorded on a statute of marble that will guide their lineal descendants and the rising generations in the way they shall go in attaining honor, wealth, and prosperity. It may not be a amiss to give

nlace to the industry, enterprise, aud'untinns zeal of

the Fair Sex, who has not been the least, nor last, in presenting their articles of manufacture; proving to the fair damsels of the day, that it is the'only avenue to prosperity. The following is the result of the first days exhibition. The honorable committee upon horses and mules

consisting of

Eli P. Farmer, Nicholas Fleener, John Carter, Wm. Renshaw. Hugh Campbell, and John Sander?, w ho decided that Messrs. Pering and Tarkington, shall be a-

warded a piemium of SjOOtetweeu them, for the best

the honors of the institution frefch upon their young brows. May their honors never be suffered to decay through indolence, and, especially, may they,never Lie sulied by vice! Indiana looks to her sons for a good aeeount of these advantages, and the Institution which state beneficence erected lor their early training, will watch with deep interest their future, career. And so will it be w ith those v ho have como among us from sister states. With how much pride will our university mark their future steps, if they be in the path of honor and distinction! With what sorrow will she lament them if they shall now sit down in 'inglorious ease,' or waste their advantages utid talents in the blind pursuit of pleasure, or the madness ar.J misery of dissipation' The Trustees, I understand, have left the Faculty as it was, and have seporated with renewed hopes of the increasing pm-peiily and popularity of the institution. And why should it not prosper? It i" richly endowed, having, 1 believe, a permanent fund of 70,000 tit interest, besides tuition fees and other means tor its support. It is under tin supervisory control of the Lc-is'a ure of the state, where its abuses, if any have ciept into it, can be exposed and corrected. If it hall no! flouiish, the fault is with those who control il iheUoard of Tuistces and the s!ato Legislature.

From the Wabash Courier. BLOOMINGTON COLLEGE. Extract of a letter from aciiizenof Terre-Hante dated. Bloomington, Indiana, September 28, 1C37. Dear Sir: Vesteiday was tie annual commencement of the Indiana College. I did not arrive here in time to be present at the examination which took place on Monday and Tuesday, nor in time to hear the addresses of all of the graduates on yesterday. President Wylie's address to them was pronounced on Sunday. All concur in saying that it was distinguished by great ability, as indeed all his public efforts of this character are, Professor Stowe, of Lane Seminary, Cincinnati, pronounced the annual address to the Athenian Society on Tuesday evening, and seem to have won the hearts of all w ho heard him. President Eeliott, of Clinton College, Mississippi, on yesterday evening addressed the Philomalhian Society. This address 1 heard. It was a respectable effort, and, considering the short time he had for preparation, was creditable enough. Yet I confess I was disappointed. On such occasions, you know we always look for great thing, and do not always make proper ullowance for the difficulties under which the orator labors. -Of the ten young eentlemen

who Graduated, five, 1 believe, are residents of Indiana;

three of Kentucky ; one of Mississippi, and one of Vir

ginia. I hey are young men of promise, -and, unless they disappointjthe hopes with their efforts on Wednesday itispi.ed, some of them will, if they live, become distinguished men. They go forth into the-world with the best wishes of thoir friends toebwr item, ad with

its events will only be remembered an hourpuhapsa week, and then forgotten forever.

It was highly creditable to the Teachers and the taught. Whv is that 'Pei in Haute litis no institution of this kind? Or is it deemed best to send our daughters from home to bo educated to send them from the guardianship of the paiental eye, and place them under the care of strangers? It cannot be denied mat in this n at'e, we have been sadly neglectful. It is a subject of deep concern to us all. We have a right to boast of our improvements our prosperity, and of our si eial e,,n(iiiioii as a com inunity, but who among us does not feel humbled w hen the st i anger enquires for our insiiti tion ; (.f letu ni ig?

From the Richmond Compiler. BUSINESS PROSPECTS. Tho following excellent article from the New York Journal of Commerce, upon the stale of Business in this country, is replete with sound sttnse and w ith just reviews, and deserves a careful persual, from those who have not taken a proper view of the subject. "The foreign mercantile business of any country is equal to the amount of its surplus products, and the return of their proceeds. Its domestic business is equal to the surpluses which the various parts of the country have to exchange with the other parts: - If any department of this business goes too fast for the other part at onetime, it must go proportionally slower at another, for the whole amount of movement must be equal. A nation cannot continue to import more than her exports, nor will it export more than her exports, nor will it export more than it imports, taking into account all values of every sort. The difficulty with our affairs at the present time is, that we have imported' too fast.

That department has gone too fast, and must stop until

overtaken by tne business ot exporting. So we Me
