land County, was knocked down with
a club and severely beaten by man
named Kelso, in Madison, on Thurs
day last, because he refused to play
cards. They must sell monstrous
mean whisky in Madison as well as
in New Albany, or else they have
monstrous mean fellows in the former
city.
Colonel M. c. CARRIER, proprietor
and editor of the Madison Courier,
arrived at home last week. Colonel
CARRIER is an able and effective writer,
and with him at the helm again, the
influence of the Courier will be felt in
the coming campaign. CARRIER has
fought the beasts at Ephesus, or
rather on my farm, and knows the
lick it is done with.
On last Monday, Mr.. Walter Ev-
erett, of Muncie, received a severe
wound from pistol shot, while en-
deay0rlng to arrest a man and woman
who had been guilty of theft. The
culprits were arrested, tried and held
in 81, 300 bail, in default of which
they were sent to jail, where they can
repent their folly at leisure. The
Free Press says: The parties profess
to be husband and wife, and say that
their home is at Terre Haute, Ind,
but some papers found on the man
show that they belong to Ohio. The
woman is Of quite small stature,
rather good looking, and about twenty
years of age, and carries upon her
brow the evidences of fallen, vicious
and depraved nature. The man is
about twenty years of age, has dark
hair, blue eyes, dark complexion, is
| about five feet ten inches high, slen-
der in frame, and has the general APP
pearance of vagabond and thief.
KILLED.-Patrick Cranon was run
over by the excursion train. hence
from indianapolis. near Buffers
Switch last night, and was killed.
He had both legs cut of, and died
within an hour We could gather no
particulars, except that the man, when
first seen by the engineer, was on the
track, and too near the engine to stop
the train in time to save him. He
was supposed to have been intoxicat-
ed.-MddiS0n Free Press.
The wheat crop of Jefferson County
has nearly all been harvested. The
fields were generally thin, but the
heads were well filed, and the grain
is very large and plump. We have
heard farmers estimate the yield this
season at full half average crop.
THE STATE FAIR. arrange
ments which are being made for the
fourteenth annual Indiana State Fair
are Of the most extensive character,
and are being rapidly forwarded by
the energetic Secretary, W. H. Loom
is. The fair is to be held on the old
fair grounds, near Indianapolis,
known during the war as Camp Nor
ton, from the LIST to the 9Th of OctO-
Der, inclusive. The premium lists
have been published, and are ready
for distribution. They are unusually
liberal, and inducements to exhibitors
are in every way greater than ever
before. information from various
counties of the State shows that our
farmers are taking deep interest in
the fair, and it promises to eclipse any
exhibition of previous years.
Our friend Phillips, editor of the
Kokomo Tribune, was few days ago
awarded a premium for having the
handsomest and best arranged door
yard in that thriving village. Editors
are proverbial for good taste, unless
they are tinctured with modern De-
mocracy, which manifests exceeding
bad taste. ~" Aa4

come all the way from Charlottesville
to ride at the head of negro troops in
the procession, and thus scandalize
the time honored principles of the
that such conduct as those can not
be tolerated by the honest and virtu-

Hall should go to Allen County and
have Manson divorced from the |
party.-Indianapolis Journal.
