We are desiroa i of receiving correspondence from tU parts of tbe Stated relative to the material tote" ests of the country, together with such other -mat er ai'contributora may deem of I a tore t. XIIC RAILRaAO BILL. ... Wi publish io another column the 'Law which will govern the disposi tion of our jrtiblic lands to aid in the construction of railroads in this State. It wilt be seen that this act contains tome' rnrj- Wholesome prorisions. Among others, it is provided that no company shall receive more than one hundred : thousand acres, while those companies which have heretofore re ceived land grants torn the General Government receive only half this amount: All companies competing for these lands ara, by the. Act, compelled to-flauh at least ten miles of road the first year, and all the lands received by any company must be sold in tracts not larger than 160 acres. We hope and honestly believe that this Law will do much for developing the interior of our State." We now. have no doubt that the t - I - c . ..r Burlington - and Missouri . River. Rail Road Company will take hold of their extension through this county and push the building of their line westward with alacrity. ; It is true that certain condi tions are required to be fulfilled by the citizens of this county before the Com- roany commences work, but we have too much confidence in the intelligence of our people , to doubt their prompt compliance with the requirements. Let us be up and doing; let every condition requisite to secure tbe road be pushed to nomp'etion at once. The lethargy and indolence which has prevailed so long among us must give way to un ceasing energy, and every man in the county should consider himself a com mittee of oneto make tbe commence ment of work at the earliest moment his 'chief object. As matters now stand the Company cannot and will not do anything; but let us finish our share ot ine-worif, ana tney win pegm work as soon as notified that .we have done eur suare. tvery citizen in i;ass must i: - , . ,. - . . . - r ' 21B- uuBiuuii put ius auouiurr to me : :. v . u: t l i . . i - wheel at once and help push the ball on to success. We must not hackle and; argue over absurdities, but as a whole, move to. win; and if we do so we will have the cars running through Cass County before mow flies next au tumo.

The season foe tranplanticg Trees is fast approaching, and many in this in 11 more extensively than heretofore. It is a business we have had a good deal of experience in, and if we may be al. oived to give any advice It ;will be to plant small trees. If we were going to buy many tree to transplant, we would rather take trees only 12 inches high, than to get them 12 feet high at the same price. It may do where only a very few are transplanted, for shade, in a door yard, to take large ones, pro vided remarkable care is taken of them; but even then, four times out of five, (mail ones set out-at the same time, will in three or four-years catch up with ihe larger oaes, and will con tinue to ' grow more ' rapidly. Very small trees.' especially in Diamine Groves, will not cost one tenth as much as large ones; they will not require one-tenth as much labor -to plant them, and they will be ten times as likely to grow.

"Are the total forces expended in brain labor nd rost to physical. reproduction and. "Are the modern fashionable criminal- '.iesof .iufanticideand foeticide creeping into our.State community?" Dr. Storer nd others in Massachusetts boldly put be couundrurn, firsthand as boldly an- wer it by dteclartog that foeticide is the commoa crime i which limits the kif reuse of 'children in that State al moat' wholly to the foreign population.
