Jasper County exports.

Special eom’ i'orfleiH'," of Tin: t'Niox. Montickllo, January 27th.— If you would like to learn from this end of the narrow gauge, listen. Tlte great beautiful orh of day has many times during the pa&t week unveiled bis face and lookedp&bwn upon the earth with melting tenderness. Jack Frost has reluctantly packed his trunk, but pray don’t let any one think that the old gentleman proposes to go just yet. 110 lingers to hear the shrill bugle of the sand hill crane returning from the land of sunshine before taking hie farewell. The ice on the Tippecanoe liver which has been a source of fear to the whole household of faith, at present writing bids fair to break up and move away without injury to the new railroad bridge. Every precaution has been taken by Air. G. W. Alurkley, bridge superintendent, and road master John C. Conner, to have everythinsr in readiness for' the break. The piers have been well weighted with stone, and it is thought everything is secure unless the dam, just above tire bridge, breaks under tire tremendous pressure of ice and water. Traffic over tbe Indianapolis, Delphi Jb Chicago railroad ts-strtt on the increase. Within the last thirty-d»vs 2,000 head of hogs and 20,000 bushels of corn have been shipped out of Jasper county over this railroad alone. The market value of these shipments may be safely estimated at $20,000. These were her actual exports of these two productions alone for the time mentioned. I might slafe further that had the Louisville, New A 1 bany &, Chicago railroad been able to furnish the cars required, her exports would have been at least £O,OOO bushels of com more during the same period. Who says that old Jasper has no agricultural re* sources? And to what an almost unlimited.extcul are they j et capa-

hie of being developed.

We started from Rensselaer on the Btb day ol lust October and arrived at our new homo—with our son!i-=*«n the 13th day. Found them well. Have had tolerable good frc&lth since coining to the territory. People have bud oolds hero blit not much other-sickness. A child that lived in our tudghborbddd died with whooping cough last week. When we talk to tlie abler settlers about this country the*y say that it is healthy, and good tor stock-raising. Cattle and sheep are living on what they can pick up on the lqotmtains and in the valleys, and look well no"'- We live at the foot of the mountains. The scenery is beautiful. The mountains are capped with snow. The people tell me that we can see snow the year round from where we live; yet it is not very cold. It is not necessary to feed stock at any time. People having a little means to start with —only a few hundred dollars—cap becoine rich in a few years. I can’t say that wc like living here very well, for the country is so new. There are good schools hut no churches; ong day is like another ns far as sabbath observation gcfes. In Deeembersflow fell three to five inches deep in the valleys and on tile mountain sidesremaining twelve or lift e'en days, but cattle lived through without being fed and look well. Stock m a are gathering up beeves and driving them to market, now, ylnrcctligstonii. 11hinkI never tasted boetpf'better flavor than that slaughtered off from the native

grass.

The Government having successfully resumed specie paymontsand brought the Greenback Currency to par with Gold and Silver in all of the Exchange Markets-rs the Commercial World, having thus bridged tlie chasm of value that so long discriminated between tire rich man's dollar and the poor man’s to the great hardship of the poor man, and now being engaged in decreasing the uate of iMc-rUt sin- pays to Rond Holders from 0 tier cent, down to 4 per cent, or one-third, to the atrti.sfaotory amount of f3tt,ooohod perweek, business prospects have d docided+y more cheerful and hopeful appearance; which induces tlie proprietors of the well-known and popular NEW YORK STORE to announce their return to old-time Cash Prices, as will lie shown by the foliowing partial Bcheduie nf some leading articles, to which they respectfully invite attention.

WIPE HIM OUTI Havingjiasi returned from Chicago with a very large stock of Clothing, Dry Goods, Boots,-Shoes, Hats, Caps, Ladies’ and Gentlemen’s Furnishing Goods, Shawls, Cloaks and Woolen Goods of every descriplion, 1 am able to offer my patrons greater bargains than ever. These goods were bought for cash, and a handsome sum was saved in the discount; this enaMes me to compete with any body in my line of business in this part of the country. Upon goods bought at my establishment I will guarantee an actual SAVING OF AT LEAST TEN PER CENT. To convince the reader of the truth of this statement the prices of a few articles are appended, and all others will correspond. Head and believe: Best genuine English Worsted Suits only $19.60 , Best all wool Taft, Tweet & Co. Cassimere do 16.0 Q Best business Suits, $4.50 to - - - 10.00 Best Imperial Chinchilla Overcoats - -16.00 Best imitation Chinchilla Overcoats $6 to 8.00 A nice School Suit $3 to - - - - S.OO Hats for Men and Boys from 25 cents to $2.50 each. Other Houses would consider them cheap at 40 cents to $3,50. , These prices canfibt be persuaded so buy before looking 1 at my stock. I will sell the entire stock at cost and less to close it out before January Ist; 1878. It is not surprising that people complain ot hard times when they persist in paying from 10 to 15 per cent, more for goods than they can buy warranted articles for, if they would trade with the subscriber.
