 --The balloon ascension last Wednes- day was, notwithstanding the preva- lence of pretty strong wind, made very successfully. The highest attain ed was not great--perhaps 600 feet but the spectacle being new to most of the beholders, all seemed to Dc satisfied, Prof. Coleman seemed to be perfectly at home in his aerial flight.
 Capt J. H. Perry has done splen- did job of work on Oak street in front of his residence. All our principle streets need just such mending mp, and we beg leave to suggest that if the Street Committee of the town council, or the whole council, will take look at the work Capt, Perry has done and pattern after it in the improvement of Main aud Jefferson streets, it will be quite credit 10 them and vast i'm pIoyement to our town.

 trust no merchant of our town will ship any wagons here from now on, unless it is seen that Messrs. Luker & Bro. cannot turn them out rapidly enough to supply the demand.
 The town was literally crowded with commercial travellers, or drum mers, as they are more commonly call cd, last Saturday. They said they did not expect to sell many goods just now, but were around just to get acquainted. A far better and cheaper way for the houses represented by these clever drummers to get acquainted would be for them to make their firm names Gas familiar as household words" to our people by advertising in the DEMOCRAT. Those who have pursued this plan are the ones who sell the most goods in Russeilvi.le, sure.s C4@@

Failure of Jacob Baum.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,. Jan. 2,-This commu,
nifty was startled this morning by the
announcement that the extensive and we'll
known banking house of Jacob Baum. of
this city, lad failed and made an assign
ment. Throughout Ills. Mr.. Baum has
long been known as one Of the heaviest
and strongest bankers in the state, and in
whom every boGy had unlimited confidence.
the assignment was made to @. Q. Brown,
of Springfield. to whom Mr.. Baum gives
up everything; he has his wife joining
him in the assignment; the liabilities, it is
said, will reach about SS00,000, the assets
are said to be sufficient to pay everything
If time is allowed and the property not
sacrificed. The Immediate cause of the
failure is said II be the large amount OF
unproductive real estate the band holds,
together with heavy line of saving de-
posits. Universal sympathy is expressed
for Mr.. Baum by everybody in this vicinity
where he has been known for the last 4C
years as an upright, honest business man
The other Springfield banks are regarded
| as sound, and are, steadily meeting al
demands and trausacting business a.
