not go far before hearing of them Not
withstanding this, farmers are making
Roadway in their spring work, cultivating,
sowing and improving. Wheat is doing
finely, and the prospect for fruit, peaches
excepted, is good. Holland & Co., our

expect to put out over two hundred thous-

its business, and West townshipwill soon
be prepared to supply this and adjoining
counties with fruit and ornamental trees,
which are so much needed in some sec

Our summer schools are in full blast"
Our Trustee, Mr.. Krieghbaum. has man
aged our school fund so as to give us
seven months school each year for three
successive years. What Trustee IN our

Messrs. Crul and Wise have had some
difficulty, occasioned by the former killing
COW belonging to the latter Said cow
was feastiDg in Crul's wheat field on the
green wheat and some corn in the shock.
Crul took exceptions to this, and as a
preventive, used several loads of shot.
This stopped her eating. Wise asked a
compensation but Crul innocently said
she had killed herself by eating too much.
Of course Wise couldn't see it in that
light" and resorted to legal means They
afterwards compromised the matter, Crul
losing in the operation, about fifty dol

The Bourbon Mirror hints that ring

though they may think the latter made a
mistake relative to Salem College, they
deem the attack unjust Salem College

ceedings of its Bourbon friends will not
result favorably. Better let by cones be,

" Which I Rise to Explain"

BOURBON, IND, april %, 70.
Nr. Editor Il see in the published re
port of the proceeding of the Teachers
Institute, that | said l was opposed to
teaching Orthography. l certainly was
misunderstood by the Secretary But |
did sag that | was opposed to drilling
small pupils in the elementary sounds.
and will give one reason why I am OPP
posed to it: A child that has arrived at
the age of six years has learned all the
sounds in the English language, and how
to make them, and it is waste of time
and patience to try 10 teach pupils some
thing they know already; and there is
about as much sense in it as there would
be in Missionary teaching a savage war
rior the philosophy ofwalking." Ifthis
one reason have given is not a good one,
| have more of them. j. S. IDEN.

throughout Northern Indiana having
lived and practiced incidence in several
different towns He came here from Ply

Some two or three weeks ago Joseph
Terrell, well-to do farmer, residing near
Green Oak, this county, eloped with a
Mrs. Wheedon, the wife of one of his farm
tenants. Terrill brought his own wife to
town, and giving her $4,000, babe her a
final adieu Mrs. T. is now living in the
corporation, we understand. Her late
spouse was something of apreaeher be-
fore he became enamored with his guilty
paramour, but as to what particular
branch of the church he belonged, we are
not informed Wheeden, the lawful has-
band of the frail woman, died since his
wite's departure, and was buried last Sun
day. He was drinking, shiftless fellow,
and was frequently in Jail on account of
his bacchanalian propensities. 1t is said
that Terrill used to bring his tenant to
town, get him drunk, and then drive home
alone and console Mrs. W. Poor farm

bors, should take warning and shun the
