August 26, 1867.


Editors journal: .-
have not written to you for seve-
raj weeks, because, simply, had moth
ing of interest to write. Your read
ers know how our County and State
gave themselves over to treason at
the last election. and it would not in
terest them to tell of that.
We have had some refreshing
showers recently, but they have not
prevented great injury to the corn
crop, which will come a good deal
short of earlier expectations. But I
have two items of really exciting in
terest, though each of them has
brought sadness and gloom upon dis
tressed families. t.f.
Last week, during a shower of hail
and rain, which was attended with
some wind, two little boys. one, the
son of Prof NJ O. Alexander. of one
of the Female High Schools here, and
the other the son of DIR. Marsales,
took refuge under an old coal shed,
which was blown down upon them,
mortally wounding young Alexander,
and dangerously wounding young
Marsales. Prof Alexander's little
boy was bright lad of about thirteen
years, and the pride of his father. He
died the next day It is hoped that
DR.. Marsales' sen will recover.
On Saturday evening last. about six
O'Clock, young man from the coun-
try, of drunken, reckless habits, came
into town, already intoxicated, and
was fourishing revolver about in a
way calculated to do mischief, when
policeman W. ID. Fuller approached
him and cautioned him to put up the
pistol. An alteration ensued, when
the young man, Jim Parker by name,
shot and wounded Fuller very danger
ously in the abdomen, the ball passing
through and coming out in the upper
part of the thigh, ranging rather
downward. 1t is hoped that Fuller
will recover, though evidently the
chances are against him " Parker
made his escape, and has not yet been
arrested. I'D +.df et5, 80.

4. Because there are now no data
showing the condition of Sabbath
School labor throughout the State,
consequently the relation of this val
liable aid TO the church can not be
definitely aseertained.,
D. Because more than two thous-
and seven hundred Schools failed to
report. to the Statistical Secretary of
the last State Convention their num-
bers, condition and progress; no re-
ports being received from thirty three
entire counties, while nineteen coun-
ties reported but one. school each. If
the statistics reported in the pro-
ceedings- = of the. Convention were
taken as a true exhibit of our Sab
bath Schools, it would disgrace Indi-
ana. We know that every true Chris
tan earnestly desires the history of
our Sabbath School labors to be cor
rectly recorded. We must remedy
any apparent defects, and have this
department of our State and Church
history properly written by those
whose constant efforts are employed
in Sabbath Schools. 49,
6. Because by thus organizing, a
healthy and profitable emulation in the
work would be established between
the various counties.
Z. Because as officers, teachers and
friends OF Sabbath Schools, we need to
extend our acquaintance, contribute
our experience, and avail ourselves of
the experience of others in order fully
to qualify ourselves for the labor
allotted us. 5.
Finally, everywhere that counties
are thus organized, blessings have in
varibly resulted to every one partici-
pating in the exercises of the meetings,
and the labors of the teachers and off
GERS have been recognized in the
spread of Sabbath Schools with their
hallowing influences. -
We, therefore, earnestly urge that
no unnecessary delay prevent the i'm
mediate organization of a Union in the
State.
Let the friends of Gods work
among the children assemble during
September or October, proximo, and
comply with their duties and our re-
quest, so that when the Executive
Committee meets In November next,
every county may report the Union
established and in good effective
condition. ogv .... ..f' H.. .-@.t q

For the last ten days our town has
had busy appearance-thes streets at
times almost blocked with wagons.
The farmers have had nice time for
delivering their wheat, and we think
the prices paid were remunerative.
Some have sold as high as 81 SO per
bushel. The merchants, however,
are doing but little business. The
money for the wheat must go home
for the old lady to see. After a while
it will come back to gladden. the mer-
chants hearts. On the 21st we had
fine shower. This will make good
corn crops. The tobacco crop this
season win not be more than one
fourth that of last season. H.r
