DUBOIS COUNTY.

TOPOGRAPHY.

Dubois County in hounded on the north by Davis und Martin Counties, on the enst by Orange and Crawford, on the south by Porry, Spentcor and Warriok, und on the ivest by Pike, crubrnoing an area of four hundred und Thirly- two square miles. Of this area, que-louth is rivor and freek bottoni, occasionully subject to inundation ; about one-half is drift and allorium of ancient lakes and rivers, the remainiler bold hills and olevuted plateaus, undorlaid by tho conglomerate sandstone.

The surfuco varies from high hills, on the east, to gently rolling or lerel plateaus, in tho southern and northern parts, intermingled with the creek and river bottoms. West of the village of Ireland, for miles, a perfectly Jorel platenu of the ancient Incustrino alluvium is spread out, which covers the lower trorkablo conls. This pintesu, one hundred aud tiventy fuet ubovo White River, is walled, ou the sule toward the north, by gentle hlulfs, often of sand, from twenty to thirty feel ahovo its lerol, analogous lo tho " coust," er lorel erubnakineni, of Ibo Mississippi.

Going westivard from Schnellville, a heavy ringe of massive sanilstone is found. It is ent across by Hull'a Creok, Strait Crock, and Ihvir hrauches, aut divided into a succession of hills or penkm from two to thece hundred feet high. The highest bills aro enppod knolls of loess, or lonwy sand, im- perfectly stratified, auil from twenty to thirty feet in thickness. It is noted is the " Walnut level" and is rich in plant funil, and on these hill-tops is found a growth of timber commonly limited to the worm loams of tho bot- toms, us walnut, sugar free, wild cherry, spire wood, pawpaw and bluegrass. Al Harbison's Grove, enst of Haysville aud near Birdsoye, exumples uro seen.

BOLL.

The soil of tho county is not of the best quality. Fair crops of corn, wheat, onts and grass aro produced. Underdraining will teud much to en- hance tho value nad nid the soil in mising crops of grass and grain. It is especially needed in the boffoms along tho Patoka River. These bottomy are from one to three miles wido. The soil is cold anil impervious to moisture, hence very wot in winter und very dry in suminer. The majority of the river nud creek bottoms, hotrover, are the accumulation of alluviuin, formed from tho decomuquisition und intermixture of sedimentary nintorial from all the olilor rocks nuuil tho loess wayhed from lho bills; hence its friability und grent fertility. The soil of the louvor knolly und valleys is a sandy lonto und often of a reddish tiut from the presence of ferruginous matler dorived from the anbearboniforous iron ores. Pcard and other tender fruits mny bo grown here to a good advantage. Tivo fiue groves of chestnut trees may bo found in Towuship tuo, south, Sections eighteen and fourteen. In tho southorn part of the county, the soil is composed principally of the reddish.brown loam, famous for oxcellent "eiger leaf" This part is well adapteil to the growth of tobacco, undl large amounts uro ratsel Extensive wurchouses aro constructed for sloring this product at Iluntinghurg, Ilolland and Ferdinand, and largo amounla exported. Going cust, tho surfaco presents a succession of hills nad valleys, gradually rising, until tho formor attains a height, at the east lino of the county, of four lututlred feot abovo the Potoka Rivor. The soil raries froun tho allurium of the bottoms to lhe loess of the hills, and tho cultivation of the l'arms, kindl of orups and timhor vary with the enil.
