A Bit of Fun.

Big Lake between Plymouth and Bre-
men is nice place for bathing in hot
weather. The water looks so clear and
cool. So thought couple of gentlemen
from indianapolis Representative of
wholesale houses-and two. of our own
merchants, who were travelling in car
riage last Tuesday, from this place to Bre-
men. So they arranged that three of the
party should disrobe, leave their clothes
in the carriage with the fourth, and enjoy
a refreshing bath m the lake. The invig
Grating bath made them 50 joyful shat the
companion in charge of the team and
clothes, could not resist the temptation
to doff his clothes, deposit them in the
carriage, and plunge into the lake. The
horses being pretty sharp thought they
would play good trick on the swim.
mers, and not being securely hitched, they
started at rapid pace for town. Ther
commenced race which has never been
equaled in this county since the time ii
was inhabited by the abonginees. But il
was an unequal race-the horses were on.
ly running for fun; but their pursuefs
were bound to have their clothes, and
they got them, after running less than
half mile; but the buggy was not worth
much after it ran against tree.

Greeley and Brown Nominated.

Greeley and Brown Nominated.
Last Thursday morning at half past

following despatch
Baltimore, July 10, r."

Greeley and Brown nominated-grand

Correspondent
The despatch was received too late for
insertion last week, but we announced
the fact that the nominations would be
made according to the arrangement
The nominations were not unanimous,
Delaware refused to ratify. The dele
gates from State that claim that the Democ-
racy has been sold out for less than an
equivalent. Democracy will hereafter
claim the little State of Delaware as It's
home.
Although very few were surprised at
the resu t, Democrats all over the coun-
try are undecided how to act Many of
them will vote as the party leaders die
tate; but many more will doubt the hon
esty of their leaders, who after denounc
ing Horace Greeley as a Niger stealer,' .
for more than thirty years, suddenly
change front and select him for their
standard bearer If they acknowledge
now that they have been wrong all their
lives, they can hardly be considered safe
leaders tc follow now.
In Plymouth there are few outspoken
Democrats-always reliable, and the most
intelligent men among them, who de-
clare openly that "they will have none of
Greeley in theirs" But it is probable
that many Democrats who are now op-
posed to the nomination, will vote for
him. But few if any Republicans will
vote the Greeley ticket. Many who ad
mired Mr.. Greeley's course in favor of
freedom, and his independence in expos
ing and denouncing corruption in office,
wherever found, will vote against him.

que the surrender of the Democratic par

To the Tax PAYERS.

As the law makes it the duty of county
Treasurers to collect all the delinquent
taxes on the duplicate, which remains un-
paid after the Sd Monday Of April, of each
year, by sale and distress of personal
property; and being desirous of avoid
ing all costs possible, | would advise
and insist on all those owing such taxes
to settle the same on or before the 18th
day Of August next, as after that date
will be compelled to take legal measures
to collect the same. Please save extra
costs which | am very anxious to avoid

A Greeley ratification meeting was
held in LaPorte last Saturday night, en-
gineered by M. Fl. Weir, Esq, formerly a
red hot Republican. In the coarse of a
speech he said shat he had left the Repub-
hcan party, and burnt the bridges be-
hind him Which when interpretated
means that he has made it impossible for
MN TO go back to the Republicans. Mr..
"elr Is military man and has right to
use military expressions. He enlisted in
the service of the State once to drive
John Morgan out He went 80 far as
Indianapolis but not h wing taken the

The friends of this most worthy and
important enterprise win be gratified TO
learn that the officers are making a libe-
raj outlay of money and energy to ac-
commodate exhibitors and to attract
visitors. The Fair opens next Monday,
the 2lst Of October, and will more than
ever be entitled to the generous encour-
agement of the public. Ample pro-
visions have been made to house all the
live stock that may be entered, and we
hope to see the efforts of the excellent
managers recognized and ably seconded
by the solid people of the county and
surrounding country. We see it stated
that $4,000 people attended the Fair at
Nashville last Friday. The people of
that vicinity have brought up tanning,
stock raising, etc., to a high standard,
and find these pursuits not only as hon
orable as the professions and CONNER
cial callings, but sources Of pleasure and
health and handsome profits. Our peo-
pie are likewise improving very rapidly,
as has been observed from year to year
BY the exhibitions Of home products at

Although Indiana is tied with Liberal Gov

At the July term of the County Court
M. d. L. Stewart was appointed Special
Commissioner to. proceed to Nashville
and make settlement with the State
and collect the amount due Shelby
county on account Of the county taxes,
which had, in the redemption of land
heretofore sold to the State, been paid
into the State Treasury. He made the
settlement, and being aided by his fami-
liarity with the matter in hand, sue
ceeded far beyond the most sanguine ex-
pectations, aud brought home with
him the Comptrollers warrants for
$2l, 228 80. For this the Court felt
grateful to Mr. Stewart inasmuch as
they we're indebted to him, not only for
procuring the passage of the act of the
Legislature requiring the refunding of
this revenue, but also for another act OF
December, 1869, by and through which
over $4,000 of back county taxes had
been collected by the county and like
amount by the State. In consideration
Of the premises, the Court on yesterday
awarded him FIVE per cent. on the amount
Of warrants by him collected.
1t is a lamentable fact that for every
year past large amount of real estate
has been sold to the Treasurer as Super
of Public Instruction for the
use of common schools, because when
offered for sale for taxes by the collec-
tor no person would buy the same, and
thus it was that from twelve TO fifteen
per cent. Of the amount Of taxes as
sessed was annually lost to the State
and county, no effort having been made
to collect any of these back taxes. But
Mr.. Stewart secured legislation remit
ting the odious and oppressive penalties
which had been put upon the taxpayer
by Radical Legislatures, and reviving
the right of redemption to the unfortu'
nate delinquent. Many Of them appre-
,iaied the indulgence, and came for
ward and promptly paid their taxes,
which, with the enormous penalties, in
crest. etc., they never could or would
lave paid. Hundreds of thousands OF
dollars Of these back taxes remain un-
paid, and to enforce the collection
hereof the Office OF Land Commissioner
las been created whose duty it is to col
ect up this delinquent tax, and, if need
,e, by bills in Chsncery enforcing the
lens of the State and county by sale OF
he land. This is gratifying news to the
'rompt taxpayer, for what was lost on
me was made up on another. Now all
I'LL have to bear their part of the bur
en- of government.
