OVER THE COUNTY.

Mr.. JOHN L. BAIRD, Esq, Of this
county, will ship bale of cotton to St.
Louis, for exhibition at the great st.
Louis Fair, which commences October
I'd, 1871.
REV. @. FOSTER WILLIAM, Of Ash
wood, has invented. an improved Wagon
Bed Elevator. He is taking steps to &C.
cure q patent, through our esteemed
fellow>citizen, w. J. ANDREWS.
Two Presbyterian preachers in this
county, men of intelligence and culture,
served regular apprenticeship as me-
chanics. One started life as q black
smith, and the other as painter.
AT New Ruin, on Monday night Of
last week JOHN JOHNSON cut YVES.
LocKR1DaB severely in several places,
but not dangerously. LoCKR1DeB's
wounds were dressed by DR.. JOHN R.
MALLARD. Cause of difficulty, whisky.
CAPT. J. d. TowNER, of Lynnville,
has put up one of bis new Hay Presses
on Mr.. Tom JONES' premises In this
county. Mr.. JONES expects to ex-
hibit this machine at our next Fair.
This press is spoken Of in the highest
terms by newspapers as simple, perfect
and cheap.
MIR. s. s. GRIFFITH, from near Mt.
Pleasant, has left upon our table two re-
markedly large ears Of corn, which
were grown on the "old sheep lot"
which he says had been in cultivation
sixty-eight years. We think, however,
the chronology is a mistake, as that
country was scarcely settled at that ear
ly day.
ESQ. J. T. HUNT, Of Culleoka, has
procured w. r. H. MATTHEWS live rat
tlesnake, and is keeping it at his store
until the Fair, when he will exhibit il.
Mr.. MATTHEWS caught the snake by
placing q forked stick over his head,
and pinioning him to the ground. The
snake was caught Emonth or 30 ago.
and has not eaten anything since that
important event.
THE contest between the Champion
and Clipper Reapers and Mowers, Is not
yet over, as both machines will be rep
resented at our Fair. The Clipper for
1872 will be an entirely new machine,
presenting novelties and features not
heretofore known in this class OF instru-
ments, and the proprietors think they
have overcome all objections heretofore
urged against combined machines.
A grand vocal and instrumental Con-
cert will be given at the Jones Acade-
my, Friday evening, Sept. 10Th, 1871,
the proceeds to be devoted to the pur-
chase Of an organ for the Academy. The
accomplished and gifted Prof Herr,
will have charge Of the Concert, which
\ is an assurance that 1t will be a very
! brilliant affair. The Professor promise
es to perform some Of his exquisite
pieces on the violin.

BONDED DEBT.

Gov. Scott's next chapter is very
long one on the Bonded Debt of the
State. And in this chapter the Gov
ernor is singularly and conspicuously
unit uthful. He first says that the in
crease in the bonded debt has not
been cr, r,ated by him and the members
of his administration, but represents
Liabilities contracted under previous
administrations. And then follows
this:
"The seven hundred thousand dol
lars of bonds issued for the l!and COM
mission form the only portion OF the
debt actually created by the present
administration, and for this the State
has an ample equivalent in the lands
purchased, which will ultimately re-
pay both principal and interest. :
Deducting this 100000 rom-the
$5,54l,0oo, stated by Gov. Scott, a
few paragraphs earlier, as the amonnt
of new bonds sold, 81 ,4S1 900 are left
as a debt created by former admins
trations. And after this extraordi.
nary statement, Gov. Scott quits fig
ures, and shows that any depreciation
in our bonds is The result Of deliber-

Thus, while tic Briton looked Oh, u,l-

Last week ! visited st. Henry. oui
ne 'ghboring town. 1t Is about fOui
miles from Ferdinand. six from Hunt
ingburgl. and five from Dale situated
OIL very level place, and would make
a nice town il persons Of enterprise
would settle there. The. smrroundin.
country is very fertile and not as hilly
as in conc parts of our county. More
tobacco is cultivated in that ncigllbor-
hood than in any other part Of Southern
Indiana. Of The same size. The town
has three stores, one very nice church.
and ono blacksmith shop. Farmers and
mechanics Of other places. who have no
work, would do well to make themselves
a home there. instead Of going Ia the
great West. So many 'barkwoOds far
mcrs" are found there, who like 10 go
hunting but not to work, and who, now
game is getting scarce, would readily
sell out their small estates TO make room
for diligcnt farmers. The stOrekccpcrs
say they arc IN want ofa cooper. wagon
maker, timer and tailor. They have to
get their barrels and kegs from other
towns, which proves to be very trouble
some. There are many coopcrs in other
towns and cities out Of employment.
who would find good chance there to
make comfortable living. A tailor
would also fluid employment enough to
keep him above want.
Tobacco, as have before said, il raised
10 a great extent; some farmers are rais-
ing from five to ten thousand pounds,sO
that upwards Of 10000 pounds are
raised annually in The vicinity Of the
town. but the farmers complain that
they have no tobacco merchant in their
town, and consequently have to sell their
tobacco at IIuntingburgh or other pla-
ccs. Capitalists would find II paying
business To erect a large warehouse In
the town, and I am sure would be able
to buy plenty of tobacco. The people
would sell the tobacco cheaper because
IL would be less trouble to get 1t there,
than IL they Lad TO deliver il to other
towns far of.
