In Saline county,, the other day, Mr..

The Metropolis 'Promulgator,, (radical)
Is incensed at the radical board of school
directors Of that ilk for giving employ
ment to a Catholic school mistress. One
Of the directors, In his own defense says
that the teacher in question furnished
the requisites Of capacity and morality,
and beyond that he had no right or dc

seven pounds and O half each. The
father, who il an honest farmer, says the
"climate" Is too salubrions for u poor
man.
The agricultural aud mechanical fair
In Massac county, will commence on
the eth and continue until the 2sth. 1t
is expected thatthe display ofstock, We
getables and fruits will be the finest and
largest ever made in the county. The
three confidence men arrested here
Monday, had their shingie. up for this
fair, and but for the mischance that befel
them, would have probably made "a
good thing Of IL" among the honest and
credulous country folks there.

confiscated.
There Is great jemandSfor dwelling

The Benton Standard says that a. J.
Alden, one OF the most blgoted radicals
in Egypt, organized the first lodge Of the
knights Of the Golden Circle In Hamil-
ton county, in 1872, and was rewarded
therefor with circuit clerkship. Fear
subsequently drove him into the army,
aud the same animus caused him 10 sur

brethren, among whom he remained on
