being practical temperance man, the
question at once arose among his
friends, what are his motives for thus
seeming to fasor the sale and use Of
intoxicating liquors. Further inquiry
has disclosed the fact that he believes
the present farmers movementa ruin
GUS humbug, and yet the infatuation'
is SO strong, that without the use of
some strategy, the farmers will all
rush headlong to destruction. At the
same time he is a deyout believer in
the efficacy of singing and prayer, and
thinks that if the oranges will only
engage in the traffic of ardent spirits,
they will soon lock horns with the
"women's movement" and then

Another fight is reported this week
from Lannisburg, "a name given the
southeastern suburbs Of town)-the
parties to or the particulars of which,
are not yet fully known. Family fueds
have created two hostile factions in
that district, (''5th ward,) each of
(which has its leader who often meet
in fierce conflict. A note worthy fea-
ture in the matter, is that these lead
ers belong to opposite sexes, with
headquarters near each other. Some
days ago while the big male chief, be-
ing the same who commanded the
enemy in its attack upon the Hydrau-
lie Touring mills, in the late goose
war, was going his rounds, giving or
ders to his subordinates, was sudden
ly surprised by his antagonists emer-
ging from behind some outer works,
and bending over, pointed at him a
64-pounder, heavily loaded. He bare
ly had time to retreat into his own
citadel, before his ears were saluted
with fearful discharge of terrible
epithets, slugs, old iron, brick bats
etc. He says the report was deafening
accompanied with a disagreeable
sulphurous smell; otherwise he escap.

FROM MILTON.

MR. KEEYE:-The HOOeier Drill
Company is slowly but steadily in-
creasing its working force every week.
Jesse P. Fulghum is erecting nice
residence on the corner of Seminary
and West River streets.
c. P. Reeves has sold the house he
built last fall, with the lot on which it
stands, to W. H. Moore, who intends
making it his residence. Reeves has
gone into the paper mill.
Harmon Armstrong has sold his in
terest in the grocery store of Frazec
& Armstrong, to j. H. Frazec. Har-
mon has resumed his old position in
the Hoosier Drill Company.
Frank. Jones and Hen. Gresh have
sold their stock Of groceries to Nudd
4 Booth, who will continue the bust
ness at the same corner. The invoice
amounted to over four thousand dol
lars.
Frank. talks of becoming farmer
ON the prairies of Iowa, and Hen. has
the same business in view here-and
when we hear these ex-grocery keep
ers telling old gray-headed farmers
that good crop of corn can be raised
by only plowing it once, and that an
average crop Of wheat can be pro-
duced from the stubbles of the prece-
ding one, and that the best bacon is
made from hogs fattcd on beech
nuts, it looks as though they meant
business, and that our farmers are
wasting a large amount of hard labor
every year. Boys, if your theory
should fail the first year, why do not
be discouraged, but try again.
The young men here have organi-
zed literary society, the members of
which are known as Knights of the
Golden Age. The exercises consist
Of debates, lectures, essays, criticisms,
etc. The society meets weekly in Da-
Wis Hall. The students in Prof. Gus
tins school have formed a similar
one, the members of which are called
Junior Knights. Such societies are
not only productive of present enjoy
ments and benefits, but their good ef-
fects will be felt and seen in all after
life.

To the question: What shall we
read? it is impossible to return a very
definite answer. It depends upon
what things are within your reach
ON your health, your education,
your occupation. To keep UP with
the worlds current events every one
should read one or more good news
papers. A good family journal, if
read. History, biography, and travels
should of course be part of every
ones reading. But in this article We
do not so much wish to point out tAe
classes Of works to be road - to make
some suggestions - to method.
Every man should strive to own .
good. full dictionary. . good general
atlas, an encyclopedia, and good
gazetteer. These should be owned, if
possible, ut once; otherwise, let one
save money by every means, and pro-
cure them as fast IS possible. If one
has fair wages, and has the courage to
live within his means, and to save
every month, then let him run in debt
for them. I
A good debt 10 often like an anchor,
and holds an honest man steady. It
will help an honest man to save, if he
has right before his eyes the end to be
gained, and much money will be thus
invested which might otherwise run
down ones throat. or be fooled away
in trivial sums. But these books are
foundation books, and ought to be
within reach. To borrow them is
much like borrowing a candle, tea
cup, or bed. They are things which
every man should have as near to him
~ mechanic has his tools.
Now, with this stock in trade, come
some suggestions about reading. New
er read anything without going over il
afterward in your mind, to sec if you
can state to yourself the substance Of
what you have read. It would be we'll,
when it can be done, to repeat TO some
one the information which you obtain.
1t will tend to fix attention while
reading, will prevent that smooth,
dreamy way of sliding over subjects
with a vague, general impression only
Never suffer word to pass, the
meaning Of which is not clear to you.

The money. order system is one
great feature of the post Office serv-
ice. Last year it issued 46O,OOO,-
900 worth of orders During the
panic it made itself moro popular
than ever by its ability to transfer
money, and during the holidays
the foreign element of the country
availed itself of it's benefits by
transmitting in the aggregate q
very large sum of money as pres
ents to friends in the Old World.
Disbursing officers of the Govern
ment departments, in paying bount-
les, pensions, &c, to colored sol
diers, have experienced difficulty in
getting money to those who reside
in out, of the way localities, and on
this account they have adopted the
money order system as q medium
of transmitting the money, the
Postmaster acting as paymaster,
and having the necessary circulars
sent him, to which he secures the
signatures of the party to whom
the money is paid, and thus renders
his identity certain.

unable longer to endure his cruelties
