PERSONAL Mr. NJ. V b. Cowan, editor Of
the Merton Chronotyps at Kent. Indiana, called
on US To day Kent is n thriving town on the
Logansport, Peoria 4 Burlington railroad, aud
the most important station on the east end Of the
line 1t is improving very rapidly, and several
fine dwellings ard store rooms have been erected
this spring. Ii contains six large stores, about
seventy five dwellings. splendid hotel. and a
population of. say three hundred. Two years
ago the first building put up; and now it Is u
town of considerable note and the market for the
finest agricultural portion of Indiana. Its rapid
development, in a measure. is owing to the liber
atty and energy OF its proprietor, a. J. Kent,
vino has, from It's start, expended his means with
a lavish hand in improving the place. Mr. Cow
an informs us that the trade OF Kent for le6l
exceeded one hundred thousand dollars, which is
larger that of most towns twice its size. The
town and county certainly offer unsurpassed ~
ducements to ali seeking new location. a. they
possess ali the elements OF wealth and progress.
The CaronOfpre is a neatly printed paper con-
Quoted with ability. and we doubt not the citizens
Of Newton will give It's editor the liberal support
he 80 richly merits.

GOVERNOR MoRroN AND GENERAL HALLEcK
The Journal of yesterday vindicates Cover
nor Morton against the statement of"a city paper"
that during his recent visit to Pittsburg Landing
he was "snubbed" by General Halock The
vin1ication was opportune, handsomely done and
entirely necessary. 1t was complimentary to
Governor Morton, exceedingly. as Indicative oil
the opinion the Journal surmses the public gen
orally may privately entertain of His Excellency
Why should not Governor Morton be held to be
rs great, it not greater man than General Hal
leck. and why should il not be insisted that he
"snubbed" the hero instead OF being "snubbed'
himself?
