RENSSELAER, JASPER COUNTY, IHDIANA, OCTOBER 12,1876.

Stats Archæologiecal Association of Indiana.

II has hues decided that the first sunn si meeting of tha Stats Ardhmologiosl Aesocintlon of Indiana shall be held at the rooms of ths state geologist, in the state house St Indianapolis, on the 17th and 18th of October. 1876, at 10 o’clock X M., aad as this Is the last week iff the state Stir and exposition, all-who wish to attend may ay ail of the half-fare rates of the rail* roads. In, addition to the regular meetings held at Indianapolis each year,, the oonstitutiori* provides for ao adjourned meeting at some looality o f special interest to the assoeiaftion which Will be of grhat value to the students of archaeology, as there will be collected together .those whoas observations aud investigations have done so muoh to advuoe our knowlsdge of this interesting study. ttla desirable that all who oan will attend the meetings of the association aad contribute by carefully prepared papers, with diagrams ana illustrations, the result of their observations and investigations. In addition to the regular papers presented; muoh can be learned by a comparison of Held notes, for often some of tho disputed problems of archaeology are easily explained by the observations of others from different localities. All papers and notes should be left With the secretary for publication in the annual volume of reports. One of the features of the meeting. will he the diaplay of relies from different localities, and it is particularly requested that all will bring for exhibition and examination during the meeting such relies of special value may have or ean procure forthe occasion, or plaster casts, photographs, or' accurately prepared sketches, in .ease the specimens cannot be obtained. Arrangements wilt be made to provide a place of safety for all relics. rides for a museum of archaeology to he located at Indianapolis, where articles may be lf?ft on deposit and withdrawn aft - will of depositor. This it Is hoped wilt induce Anmy of oar friends who have rare reties to plates them within reach of the student of arolisßology for.study and comparison. It is also hoped that it will be the means of retaining near the localities where they were originally found a large proEortion of the relics of tha pro* Utorio people, for it is known that a very large portion of the relies fonna in Indiana are sent to museum* as well as private collections in other states and countries, and nothing of their original locality preserved to identify the ancient psdple As this stkfte with people of other leoaltties. We hope our friends after a careful consideration will decide to place in onr proposed museum snob rare relies as they may have, or a plaster east of the itao*. , _ ' •- • Indiana is found to be extremely rioh in the remains- of the mound builders, and il ls desirable to secure as soon as possible alUhe facts concerning their origin and : ethnical relations, usages and customs, arts, inventions and religious or superstitious rites and belief before, the steady march of .improvament- and ehrilisation obliterates the remaining traces of their existende. All persons with papers prepared for the meeting should notify the secretary of their intention, with the sublet named, before the time of the meeting, a* all papers will be placed on the programme In ths order their announcement .is received. In conelnsion we would it is only by the unitedeSbrisof citixen* from all parts of the state, that we ean expect to accomplish anything, and hope to see a general interest manifested in the efforts of the officer# of the association.

L. B. CASE,

Progress of Railroad Building.

One of the most enoonrsging features of the tail trade ia the in* crease in the railroad building that in going on. The Chicago Journal qf Cmmtret has a summary, > from which we quote: “At the East a narrowgage road, nine mites • long, hit bom oomthenoed between Boston and Stoneham, that will oost 1800,000. -A -read following the valley of Lamoille river. In VermottVis being ironed, ana will be opened to Lais Champlain this fall.

Colorado is also at work ou a narrow gage from Floyd Hill, terminus of a branch of the Central, to Idaho and Georgetown, that will branob to Central City and be extended into the Middle Park.”

Reviving Trade.

Our exohanges from all parts of the country affirm the statements in regard to ths favorable outlook worn hy business. The over, worked merchants and salesmen in New York, the streets busy after nightfall and crowded with pack-/ inn boxes, tell the same story of revival. There is an active aad firmer demand for breadstuff's, and ths eable cslls for exports to the continent and to the United Kingdom. A Presidential campaign Is not generally regarded as provocative of business or industry, but the times require eeononty in ths use of money, and thus far polities have been conducted without the brilliant and oostly demonstrations so common in other years. This is mi omen of good and might be made i precedent for fulnre campaigns. As the new era dawns, people are urged to improve upon the wasteful methods of business so common in the past. Thu New Orleaaft papers notice the arrival of eolton and animation to the wholesale trade. The Cincinnati Priot Current says, **the tide of busmese bs* turned.” In Minnesota, country dealers have light ■took and are buying freely. The sidewalks of 8t Paul are oovered with gooda for shipment. The Bt. Louis Tbustfays that “lumber, grain and provirion paper ia offered In increased amounts, and bills on Eastern aad Southern cities arc more numerous.” and refers to the increase in the number of eonnftry buyers. From Chicago oomea a like report, and hi Pittsburg the gals Is “healthy and legitimate.” The Philadelphia Price Current says, “One of the bent features of the times Is the absence of speculation in any description of merchandise, although money is abundant and cheap.” Aad a Boston P *“Businea* is steadily miring. Some articles still hold bahk, hut ths revival extenda to moat es the leadtog staples end industries, and is enlarging its scope every Week. The movement is free from speculative excitement, and appears to be based on natural requirements. We see the effect of the revival iu our streets, which are feat filling up with long processions of loaded

teams and on the sidewalks, where eur passage is often bMiidu* with huge balsa and oases of wftahs*' dies. A^ffinirortStaiionflat wl O)0g{ ifliifrMi I lift, and we find auMrity **»d oonfideuoe where, tiro months agAwers enly duMnerc and despondency.* the signs of lifo in trads habeas rsporved and commented sa in tils, papers for several days. There is, s general accord to pubiio asßdm«)s on this subjeot over all yMs Tend, and when people say nnitotty that they are happy and prospssdßa they will soon be both to fyaAfyeA . ■■■ - ■ -■ *<A J .

The Hygiene Power of the Sun.

Sleepless people—and thers are many m America—should oeuvt the sun. The very worst soporifis is landannm, sod the very heal is sunshine# Therefore It. is very plain that poor sleepers should pass as many hours of tat day as possible in the sunshine, and few as possible in the shade. Many women are martyrs, and do not knew it. They shut the sunshine oat oi their houses and their hearts; they wear vail*; they carry parasols; they do aH that is poasible to keep off the subtlest and yet most potent influence which is intended to give them strength and beauty and oheerfolnesa, I* It not time to change all thia, and 10 get roses and odor in onr jpato eheeks. strength to oar week books and courage to onr weak aonlsf The JSSSe “ f T^ en |My fa and strong, sad the sunlight will be a potent iofitwnee to tbto transformation.« r . „ tMi 11 m.
