Meeting for the Relief of Kansas—Friday evening, at the Methodist Church, is the time and place finally fixed on for a meeting to consider the ways and means to be adoped by our citizens, for obtaining and forwarding supplies for the destitute people of Kansas.  It is to be hoped there will be a full attendance and that all will come prepared to net promptly.  Our old friend Mr. Foster is here anxiously waiting our action.

close of the present term, is to take place in the Christian Church,---a place large enough and strong enough to hold all who may wish to witness the exercise.

                       The Hog Market—The packing of hogs, this season, has already commenced at the various markets in the West, and our shippers have been forwarding the hogs from this point for two weeks past.  The continued high price of pork during the past year has led to a feverish excitement among the raisers of hogs everywhere. Everybody has been expecting not only a remunerative, but an extreme high price for their pork this fall.  This to a very great extent will be realized, in this section, from the fact that a very large proportion of the hogs have been previously contracted at high figures.  How long these high prices will continue has been a matter of speculation among the dealers. 

                       Godey for December—Godey commenced, in the November number, to give more illustrations and improve the Lady’s Book generally.  The literary matter is much improved.  This Magazine, we judge from the interest its contents excites, is highly appreciated by the ladies.

                       Every article sold by me during the fall and winter shall be as low as can be bought at any house in Bloomington.  Money I must have and if low prices will assist me in any degree to obtain it, I feel confident that it will be forthcoming.  The subscriber returns his most sincere thanks to his old customers for the very liberal patronage heretofore extended him, and hopes by strict attention to business to meet a liberal share of their patronage.

President Lincoln in Lexington—News got abroad about one hour before the arrival of the up-train yesterday afternoon, that Abraham Lincoln was on board on his way to Chicago.  Quite a number of our citizens, young and old, gathered at the depot eager to see the “President.”  They were not disappointed, for soon after the cars stopped, “Old Abe” came out, showed himself and made a little speech, thanking his fellow citizens for the honor of their presence, and reminding them that soon after the sixth of November he heard good news from this portion of McLean County.

          Old Abe looks as though the campaign had worn lightly upon him.  He is commencing to raise a beautiful pair of whiskers, and looks much younger than usual.  Still there is no disguising the fact that he is homely.  But “homely” is said to be “good.”  And such is our new President.  He possesses the integrity, ability and Jacksonian backbone needed in the present crisis.  He is the man, while allowing the slave States, their just and Constitutional rights, to make them know their place and keep it, too, inside of the Union and in loyal subjection to our world—unequaled Constitution.  Long live President Lincoln!  Long live the whole Republic of which he is Constitutionally elected Chief Magistrate!

We are happy to say, for the benefit of our tax payers, that the “City Dads” have fixed the corporation tax at thirty cents on the one hundred dollars this year, instead of forty cents, as heretofore, being a reduction of one-fourth.  This taken in connection with the fact, that the reduced rate will raise a sufficiency to free the town of debt and meet the current expenses of the coming year, will be a matter of gratification and pride to our citizens, generally.
