This is very passible winter weather.
Sunday was one of those calm still
days, the weather mild with a little snow
falling the most of the day.
Sunday school and preaching in Town
as usual and at quite number of the
churches in the surrounding country.
The health of the City and vicinity is ex-
cellent.
Nobody, dead, married or runaway this
week to report-hut | have my eye open
and expect to report an active campaign
very soon in the matrimonial line, for |
notice the maiden ladies Of the place are
beginning to put on their paraphernalia
OF warfare and we notice too that they
have tremendous big bunch OF some
thlng hltched on the posteIior part OF
their new gowns that we think means
business. W hat shall we do: Send us on
some reintorcements of old Bachelors
from headquarters or anywhere as soon
as possible and try and keep US posted as
the campaign advances.
The Bourbon Mirror says, "Tattler, y
the Bourbon correspondent of the Ply

ment our corporation officers for their eff
tlciency, and they SdV that lie is 0nEy fret

Tattler has been launching up this poor
miserable set of vampyres-who have
| been sucking the life blood from our town
without soul, conscience, honesty, or giZ-
card; they are always ready with a vora-
clous appetite to gormandise Oft of the
| poor widows and orphans of this CITY
without any remOrse.
| There is body of six of these cur
mudgeons-receiving the peoples money
without tretting their gizzards or benefit
! ing the town in any way-yet they hold
on to the public tit with a zeal worthy a
better cause, their tenacity is wonderful,
and their mouths are always puckered
ready to commence Juggling. What good
do they do? If they don't intend To
render value received for the pay, why
don't they resign?
Every man In town of the lawful age
has to work the road inside the corpora

wish to inform these human officers that
| 1t don't worry my gizZard, and that will
continue to compliment them from time
to time, until they get little sand in their
craw; but what can we expect OF men
who take an oath to perform the duties of
an office, and then willfully neglect it
is It moral PERJURY?

we can say with certainty that it is nct
half what it will be in a few vears-eyen
now we can discern the buds of future
prosperity putting forth, and about the

The next term, or Spring term of Salem

making many inquiries in regard to the
College. Quite a number are coming
from Pennsylv aria, Chic, Virginia an

Old Father Laher is here on visit to
Bourbon and vicinity, from Michigan.
His special errand is to visit Salem Col
lege. He is Bishop of the Church in the
State OF Michigan-and all the member
ship OF that State are included in the
Northern District Of Indiana. He has
recently made quite an extensive tour
through Pennsylvania and MARYLAND, and
ne reports very fayorably of the senti-
ments of many of his church il the East.

One worthy Brother he SAYS, proposes to
donate to Salem Colleges Library, ten
thousand Volumes as an individual do
nation.
The Public School is giving satisfac-
ton this winter The county examiner
was here and visited our school. and, |
am informed, was well pleased with the
exhibition made by the different classes in
the different rooms, or under the different
Teachers. [ am also informed that the
| same gentleman had visited the Warsaw
Schools on the day previous, among
which was Pleasant Hill College, Tor the
Warsaw Public School, and he reports
the working, or the mode of conducting
said school, somewhat similar to an old
fashioned wooden pump, that a per-
son will have to prime a half dozen
times before it will go-he asks
his class question they fail to
answer, then he primes little more, asks
again; no answer little more printing
then she goes when the answer can be
given with yes, or no We have had
him here, we sympathise; but Warsaw
is deserving something better next whit
er They must wake up to educational
lnterests-throw out their old wheezy
pumps, dive deeper and get pure water
and steady flowing fountain.
