Oh late, we Will euucdVOr
hereafter to be more prompt, if time and
opportunity permit.
The first snow Of the season, fell on
Monday evening of last week.
Sickness which has prevailed to con-
siderable extent for some time past, is
now abating.
A number of our citizens have been Wis
iting the State Fair, during thepast week
and report the exhibition superior to any
they have heretofore witnessed.
Our fellow towns man, j. W 2. Cop
len, when boarding the cars at the Union
Depot, at Indianapolis, on his return
from the fair, was relieved by some light
fingered scamp, of his pocket book, con-
tanning $40, and his return ticket Two
others were robbed at the same time and
place, one of ten dollars, the other stating
that he had lost very large sum OF
money.
Some of our citizens, belonging to the
Order of Red Men, together with their
wives and families, went on an invitation
to Bourbon last Thursday, to attend a
festival of that Order Since their return,
they are loud in their encomiums on the
hospitality Ofthe BOurbonitHs, and the
magnificent supper set for the guests, at
Bach's Restaurant. Social gatherings of
this kind are well calculated TO establish a
warm friendship among parties who
might otherwise remain at perpetual
distance" and our only regret is, that they
are not OF moro frequent occurrence.

The pride of Marshall County. MAXIM
kuckee Lake, is becoming somewhat no
ted as place of resort, for gentlemen OF
leisure from distance, seeking amuse-
ment. We have seen several parties from
Indianapolis, Louisville and elsewhere
during the season, on their way to and
from the lake, and their success in pis
catOrial way has been beyond their most
sanguine expectations They often speak
of PETE, OF the Allegheny House, as
the prince among landlords"
Mrs Birthstone says, size would advise
all her lady friends in want of anything
in the line OF dress good, hapdsome y,rpd
durable, to call on Messrs. Parker & Ut
kInson. These gentlemen must he doing
a lively business. judging from the crowds
that frequently throng their store ROOM
Mr.. Martin Brown and lady, from Find
lay, Ohio. are visiting their son in law
and daughter, in this place. Mr.. d Mrs
Leslie. Mr.. b. is hale looking, as we'll rs
a most sOngenial old gentleman.
The fail sowing of wheat is remarkably
fine, the season since seeding time having
been most propitious for the fall growth.

from five acres VI bearing vines.
Mr.. Caleb Railsback & Sons, who went
to California year or two since, have
lately returned, and settled down again in
their old homes, well satisfied that as
good a living can be made in Marshall
as elsewhere.

schools. adopted by the County Board OF

Frank Shutdown" in last weeks Bour-
bon Mirror, notices q convivial gathering
over LeslIe's drug store, on the preced-
ing Saturday evening. In commenting
thereon, he doubtless thought he was get
ting off something smart but his resort
to personalities was, to say the least, in
bad taste for newspaper correspondent.
AS to the influence of such gatherings,
Frank knows whereof he speaks" for
his experience is by no means limited.
We notice quite large shipment Of ap-
Piles from this place, the usual price paid,
being one dollar per barrel, at the or.
chard. The crop is probably not so large
as last year, but the fruit of rather better
quality.

inst, by Rev. ]. l.. Atkinson, at the resi-
dence of the brides father first door south

are of names. but then We had no cake
nor "nothin," as a reminder, however we

pendent of the Bourbon Mirror, from this
place.
