At the request of several prominent gent
lemen in town A. II. Danforth has arranged
for an exhibition of horse training for
ladies at his rooms this afternoon. The
exhibition will be free. All ladies who
are interested in horse training are invited
to attend. A fine subject has been secured
and the performance will be arranged es-
pecially for ladies. These exhibitions are
the best of their kind ever given in town
aud arc well worth seeing.
Notwithstanding the unusual number of
failures that have occurred within the past
few months, there is a general feeling
among the merchants and business men in
this section that the beginning of better
times is at hand. This kind of talk is es-
pecialy noticeable among drummers, who
have an opportunity to know which way
the wind is blowing, as quick as any class
of business men.
The parlors OF the Baptist church were
well filed last evening to listen to lecture
on the eastern question" by Mr. Cos
podinoff, native Bulgarian studying in
this country. The lecturer gave sketches
of the life in Bulgaria and the Turkish pro-
vinces, showing to what their extent their
Christian inhabitants were under the con-
troll Of the Turks, and how much the mis-
sionaries from this country were doing for
them. MIR. Gospodinoff is fitting himself
for missionary labor.
A. II. Danforth had good house at his
horse training school last evening. He
took horse belonging to John Caden
which would not allow its mouth to be
handled, and in little time was able to
open the mouth easily, the horse having
70 bride. He then illustrated the teach
ing of number of tricks, the horse
learning some of them readily. Danforth's
method is excellent and the instruction
worth more than the price of admission to
any one who owns or ever drives horse.

perance at the Baptist church under the
ausrices of the Reform club, Sunday, at
three o'clock in the afternoon, and in the
evening at the town hall at eight o'clock.

terms where she has spoken.
Mrs Molloy spoke for US last night,
May 6. Her effort was noble and affect

her. Those who have heard her need no
commentator but her words and deeds.
May God spare her health and strength to
continue in her labors. Hoosiers may well
feel proud of her and for her.-Dr. Geo.
b. Jocelyn. Albion College, Michigan.
The GranviNe Sentinel tells the follow
ing story Of one of our townsmen The
genial conductor Potter ate a chunk of
mnce pie last Sunday. Monday morning
about one o'clock he had an interview with
a pair of giants clad in bottle green over
coats, and eating red-hot iron on toast. He
says they bull-Gozcd him dreadfully, and
we believe they did. We met the conduc-
tor this m Irning and he Informed us that
the effects of the pie hasn't worked off
yet and that he is quite sure he saw a
p-a-green demon OF the pit, with cotton
wood tail, eyes in his sides, and a cork
neck-s udded with hot door knobs, star
ing at him last night from the foot of the
bed. Conductor, beware of mince pie -
it Is confusion and a scare-that is to say,
dtlusion and a snare.
