editor of the Independent, that its
birth was not heraldcd?
Our friend Samuel s. ITadley, ye
local of the Free Press, went to La
fayette some days ago, and returned;
but that's not all he did, by jugful.
He brought home with him beauti-
full young lady as his wife-that's
what Samuel did. Success to them.
THE many friends of Nathan Nor
gan. ST., will regret to learn that he is
quite ill. He is now in his S3d year.
and, until recently, has been able to
attend to business, but now, we are
informed, he is compelled, through the
infirmities of age, to relinquish it al
together.
A WRITER in the Independent says
he witnessed the other day, on the
farm of William Paddock, trial of
some of our most celebrated reapers.
Four were present and entered for
the contest, viz: the Dorsey"
champion" VALLEY Chief and
M'Cormick's Advance and that
the last named came off victorious.
THE Independent stole our item in
reference to the pedestrian exercises
of our friend William Parry. which
was published in last weeks Palla-
dunn. Well gladly furnish the con-
Germ with interesting reading matter,
but it must learn to be honest and
place the proper credit to all such ar
ticles.
From the looks of the political ho-
rizon over in Ohio, the Democracy
will need more voters to succeed at
the coming election. In order to in
sure the reelection of Gov. Allen.
Hugh O'Brien might be induced to
move over there and open a Demo-
cratic boarding house. We submit
the suggestion to the Democratic
State Central Committee.
BUsH's extensive Touring mills are
now at work to their full capacity,
day anil night, Notwithstanding the
assertions of the dailies that the pro-
prietor had failed. In their anxiety
to gather news and turn even little
transaction to some account, the re-
porters of these papers commit great
many egregious blunders which serve
to injure rather than to do good.
WoRKMEN are now engaged in put
ting in new braces in the trestle.work
of the railroad bridge, across White
Water, at this place. It has been for
some considerable length of time re-
ally dangerous to passing trains; many
of the stills have been found to be in
rotten condition and affording no sup
port to the superstructure at all. but
the threatened danger may be regard
ed as over now, for the entire work
will receive thorough overhauling.
PRESIDENT WHITE, of the Cornell
(Penn.) University. thus speaks in
high complimentary terms of the
daughter of our fellow citizens. Drs.
O. and Mary f. Thomas:
Miss Julia j. Thomas is acknowl-
edged to be not only one of the best,
but the best Greek scholar in the
University"
Miss Thomas has just graduated
with the highest honors Of that insti-
tuition.
A FRIEND of ours from Winches-
ter, informs us that over two hundred
thousand bushels of corn have been
bought and shipped at that place
since the opening of the spring trade,
besides large quantities at Lynn,
Union, Deerfeld, Farmland. and 9TH
er places in Randolph county. That
county of late years has become one
of the best corn growing regions in
the State. The corn this year, we
learn, where it is favorably situated
is of the best quality and promises an
abundant yield. s
THE No. 3 Engine boys have pet
eagle, pet birds and a pet fox, and
they are kept in the lot in the rear of
their building. The other morning
while the Mayor was holding court
which is in close proximity to this
menagerie-the fox set up a terrific
barking, to such an extent that it in
terrupted the deliberations of the
court. The Mayor, somewhat out Of
patience, but in jocular way, request
ed the Marshal to suppress that fox,
for it hadn't the least bit Of respect
for the dignity of the court" Mr..
Shefer, being an accommodating man.
and considering himself under the
direction Of the Mayor. readily COM
piled with the request. The Marshal
went out, and in moment returned
and informed his Honor that he had
spoken to the fox and thought ''he
would desist; for said he, Il regard
him as very sensible animal"
MAYOR CAvEN, of Indianapolis,
notified the police last Saturday that
he would be at the Office on Sunday,
for the purpose of issuing warrants
for saloon keepers who keep open on
the Sabbath.
If a similar plan were adopted here
by Mayor Hibberd, we think it would
be attended with good results. Where
