FoUND.-The body Of Mr.. HENRY KLUs-
MAN, whose mysterious disappearance we
recorded a few days ago, has been found in
the river on the border Of Union Township,
in this county There were marks of vio-
lence on the body, indicating that he had
boon murdered for his money.
The body was buried 10y the uersons who
found it, near the waters edge The river
rose to the grave, and when the friends OF
the deceased went to disinter the remains,
they had to work in the water to obtain
them.
The deceased will be taken TO Princeton
for sepulture. The funeral Will be under
the direction OF the Odd Fellows, who will
accompany the body to Princeton by a
special train this morning. (See |. o. O. F.

Growing ConN.-A farmer friend from
Gibson county, near the Vanderburgh line
informs us that he has had his corn DESTROY
ed twice 10y noles, and has had to re plant
rs often. The nolc3 are numerous in his
nei3hborhood, and have put farmers to great
Inconvenience, and caused considerable loss.
The growing corn, III consequence of the
depredations of the moles, is very uneven in
its appearance being OF considerable
height, and some just sproutng above the
ground.
The molcs, our informant says, commence
at one end of Z row aud root through, ..nd
eat the seed corn and roots Of the plants u
their way across the field
a farmer from Knight township also says
the m0les are very troublesome thereabout.
The winter riee1ing of the " heat in this
neighbolho whereby full crop is not
possible; the damage caused by moles to
the com; and the drowning out of the low
lands by the flood this spring. VIII go rather
hard with our farmers in Vanderburgh and
adjoining counties.

GREAT FAsHIoNABLE INsURREcTON-COAL
SCUTTLEs REPUDIATED-W learn from
good authority that the milliners have given
up the effort to circulate the coal scuttle
bonnets, and that the New York and Con
nectiCnt manufacturers have entirely dis
continued their manufacture, and are at
work on different style which Will soon
be out The coal sculllc style produced so
much ridicule and disgust that there has
been very little sale for them, aud the mill
liners find they must get up something dit
terent or sell no spring bonnets at all. We
think the women could have stood the rldi-
cule, and would have swallowed their own
disgust at the shapeless things, but the idea
that they make their wearers look at least
a dozen years older, settled the question:
A successful rebellion against Paris fash

GREAT interest is excited in France by
the discovery of Il solid green. Various
experiments have been tried with it in col
oring silks, cottons and woolens and the
result is said to be a perfect success, as the
color produced neither changes nor fades
with wear. The Importance OF this dis
covery to the trade will be perceived when
it is known that Chinese green, the only
dye hitherto employed, is sold at about $40
per llilogramme while the new green can
be sold at $l2, and with good ploft to
the manufacturer.

ANOTHER TERRIBLE SroRM-Tornadoes
are all the fashion these times. Yesterday
abont noon, terrific wind and hail storm
prevailed on the +. &. c. Railroad, between
Vincennes and Sullivan. The up and down
passenger trains met at their passing place
in the midst of it, Both trains had to re-
move trees from the track at various points.
The wind was so hard as to blow down
numerous trees, and the up train at one
time had to stop in a clear spot, away from
the timber, twenty minutes, on account OF
the risk of injury.
The hail. we are told by good authority,
was of enormous size.
A gentleman who was On the train in
forms us that he got out after The storm and
picked up hail stones as large as hens eggs
They were seen even larger
The damage to fruit trees, windows, stock,
poultry, and growing crops must be i'm
mense.
The trains both made their regular time,
notwithstanding the Instructions caused by
the storm.
The hail-stones knocked OIL the canvas
covering from the car roofs, and the rain
leaked through in considerable quantities.
The ground was covered with leaves and
twigs. The fences were prostratel in many
places by the wind from Emersons down.
The ground was white with hail stones
which were of enormous size, and flattcned
something like turnips.
Another informant tells us that there
We're two separate storms-,i hail storm
and Il wind storm. The down train encoun-
tered the former ;he up train the latter
Emerson station was the meeting point.

We desire to call the special attention of our
readers to the advertisement in another column,
of fhe Holmes County Map" the drafts for
which are now being completed for publication
SO soon as sufficient number of subscribers
can be obtained to justify. Such map Is
much needed, and We feel confident that our cit
liens viii not fail to appreciate the value Of it,
both as a means of convenient local reference,
and for the satisfaction it affords as house
work, aside from the pride of encouragement
toward work of true merit like this in our
midst, and considering the immense labor and
expense attending the preparation and engra-
wing of the drafts, and the limited territory ii
must necessarily have for circulation, on account
of its entirely local nature, the price must be
considered very reasonable, and such as must
guarantee wide circulation within the county
and we feel assured that few families will be
without copy.
Mr.. A. S. JAMES, who has charge of the work
is here now. and will use every effort for ear
ly completion of the map as possible, and will
spare no pains to make it reliable and correct
Let every good farmer and business man take
copy, for it certainly is a work well worthy
the patriotic support and patronage of all
who feel an interest in the progress of their
county affairs.

The Douglas Scheme.

The Washington dispatch of the 2lst
to the Cincinnati Gazette says "the greatest
scheme beyond all question devised by
Douglas, Soule and others in conjunction
with the Albany Regency, is to give the
South to Bell, take New York from Lin
coin, and thus throw the election into the
House of Representatives, from where Breck-
enridge might be kept out as fourth on
the list of competitors, and Lane kept out
of the Senate. In case the election should
90 to that body, l am satisfied that this
project, under any circumstances, is doom
ed to a miserable failure. But for the
Breckites 70 aid it in any way would be the
most absurd policy in the world. The
Richmond Gazette warns its friends of the
plot, and says the development of it 'has
thoroughly aroused the people of Virginia
10 a sense of the real issue presented. No
two men in Congress occupied more an
tagonistic positions than Bell and Douglas
and nothing but an unholy lust for the
spoils could have prompted so unnatural a
union 1t would be questioning the hon
esty and good sense of the American peo-
pie to suppose that it would be successful

GREEN ON DoUGLAs.-Senator GREEN of Mis-
souri,, is on the Stump in that State for BRECK-
ENRIDeE. He supported the Douglas State tick
ct in Missouri at the recent election, but he can
swallow the "Little Giant" himself. Hear the
distinction he draws between DOUGLAS and
BREoKENRIEGE. In a recent speech at St. Jo-
seph, Mr.. GREEN thus indirectly referred 10 the
wretohed expedients to which the rump Presi-
Dental candidate is resorting in the present can
vass in order to build up fictitious popularity
with the bhoys:''
'He supported John C. Breckenridge because
he had never travelled up and down the river
on the decks of steamboat advocating his own
election to the Presidency; he bad never de-
scended into beer saloons, and drank lager, in
order to gain popularity with the vulgar rabble;
he had never sent hired letter. writers all over
the country TO puff himself into notoriety, and
cry down everybody else; he had never prosti-
tuted the telegraph 10 sound his own praises
and misrepresent every other prominent man
in the party; and, finally, he supported him be-
cause he was the only man who had any chance
of defeating Lincoln. No Southern State would
under any circumstances, cast her electoral vote
for Douglas, and he didn't believe he could get
single Northern State IN. Y Jour. of Com

THE VorE OF New YoRK.-Some of the friends
of Mr.. Douglas affect to be confident of carry
ing New York for the "little giant" A glance
at the probabilities of the contest will show the
fallacy of this hope.
In 1856, Fremont had 266, ,0O7; Buchanan. 1884, :
6U4; Smith, l55 600. Now five concede that Mr..
Douglas shall receive the same vote that Mr..
Buchanan received, and one-half the vote which
Mr.. Fillmore obtained, be would only have 257, >
$50, while if Mr.. Lincoln should only get the
vote cast for Fremont, and one-half the Ameri-
can vote, would have 1856, ,OO8, or sO,l29 of a
majority over Douglas. 1t is well known to
every one who has observed the tendency Of
things in New York, that Lincoln will receive
more than one-half of the American vote, while
large portion of the remainder will repudiate
the Hunt and Brooks surrender at Syracuse.
In this calculation we have made no estimate
of the Breckenridge vote, which will not be
used in any way to aid Douglas. This much is
certain. But even if they should fuse we doubt
whether even such combination can defeat the
man of the people, Abraham Lineoln.-,Stat,

DANGERS OF SEA-BATHING.-On Thurs
day last young married lady named Mrs
Gallagher, residing in New York, was
with number of Others, bathing in the
surf at the Neptune House, Rockaway,
when she ventured beyond her depth, and
the tide running high at the time, she was
repidly carried out. McCarty, the man
who has charge Of the bathing boxes, quick.
ly jumped into boat and succeeded in
reaching her, just as she was going down
for the last time. AS he was pulling hel
into the boat it capsized, throwing both
into the water. McCarty being a good
swimmer succeeded after an ardous strug-
gle, in landing the lady safely on the beach,
A purse of 1923 was made up on the spo,
and presented to him by Father Ryan.
