Your committee had an interview with Mr. Purdy on his proposition to locate the entire machine ana repair shops and round house at this place, to cost at least $60,000, upon a donation of ten acres of land and $40,000. Your committee was unable to secure any change or modification of the proposition, ana after a full and free interchange of opinion have decided that it would now be impracticable to_attempt to comply with the proposition made, but iu view of the importance of the location of the shops at this place, your committee would recommend that the citizens hold themselves in readiness to meet liberally, any proposition made by the company, within their power to comply with.

Your committee desire to publicly return their thanks to Mr. Purdy, Managing} Director, ^Superintendent Huestis and other officers of the road for their uniform kindness and courtesy extended on this trip and during their stay in Terre Haute.

Heretofore they have been rated at over $8,000,000, but the present assessment fixes their value at something near what it really is. The Board has under consideration the question of taxation of the capital stock of railways, whether awarded in the State or not, and it is thought it will decide to do so.

It was not of this pretty town nor of the fine valley in which it is (bat I desire to write. In our ride yesterdav we saw the nc-iv. and beautiful cemetery, a mile northwest of town. In the morning, obeying a habit, I strolled through one of the three old cemeteries of Piqua. it has a stone wall about it and is about as uninviting as the old burying ground of our town, or the one west of town, both of which are so neglected and overgrown with weedB and brier bushes, that one feels bad to think of burying a friend there, or of being himself buried there. At best, doath is revolting, and we have the right to invest it with what comfort may be possible, and one comfort is burial in a spot that is perpetually cared for and beautiful. Greenwood, Mount Auburn, Laurel Hill and Crown Hill are beautiful.''cities of the dead." Apart of our grief is removed when we visit the graves of our dead in such a Bpot. If we must die, let us be buried in such holy ground. To maintain such a cemetery requires a great deal of money find

labor. Communities are changing, and —A1 Rash's soda fouut proves to be a the cases are frequent where families continuous fizzle, especially on Saturday evening. A1 is doing a lively business. —Corn plowing has been resumed, hay hay harvest is progressing, wheat ing has commenced, while

either "die out" or remove, leaving none to care for the family sepulcher. There are several such iu cnnnection with the Crawfordsville yard.

How shall those graves be cared for" There is but one way, and that is to have a cemetery so largely patronued as from the salt' of lots to endow with a |ermamanont fund sufficient to keep it forever in order. The Crown Hill and Spring Grove cemeteries are thus endowed, so that the humblest grave in it, though

may lea pauper's, is sure to be cared for. Albion, in New York, lias such a cemetery, anil people come many miles to bory tlieii dead in it. The surplus in.

and prevent what is certain to come iu time, that our netc yard, for lack of endowment, shall become neglected and overgrown with weeds, brush and brier like the old one. Could we get such an endowed cemetery, not only would the town patronize it, but hundreds in the country and from long distances. It is most distressing to look into some of the country burying yards in our county, such as the one near Yountsville, Indian Creek church, Good people of Crawfordsville, let us unite in securing a cemetery that shall be so endowed that when we bury our dead in it, their graves shall be sacred and beautiful, whether we are present to care for them or not. Our town has some things to make it more and more beautiful. Our college with its glorious park, our noble public school, our line streets and country roads, our railroads, our beautiful Sugar Creek and neighboring country are parts of a very charming inland town constantly inviting strangers to settle there. Aud let us now unite and add to all these a self-endowed and self-sustain-ing cemetery like those I have mentioned in place of the small and neglected ones we now have. 11 will be a great day for Crawfordsville when the people de termine to have such a place for its dead.

Who does not know that the best physicians can do but little good il their patient is entrusted to those who are incompetent to carry out the instructions, or to administer judiciously to the numerous and necessities of the sick'.' Yet how few study this impoi unit subject.

In fact, this information has not been accessible to the people. Prof. King herein has given full aud correct information on this important subject, together with over fifty recipes for preparing a palatable and nourishing diet (or their use, aud fully cautions against indulging iu eating that which would be unsafe. The knowledge in this department alone wili repay any family many times for its purchase. The agent, Mr. Benjamin (Sraham, is introducing this truly valuable work, and is now in our city, and will show our citizens the merits ol the work. After a thorough canvass of the city, he will canvass the county, and we bespeak for him the confidence his honesty and gentlemauly conduct entitles him to.
