OF com unlSm. Smith was once an OUen0eI
of the law in this county. and may be re-
membered by many of the citizens here.
Fort Wayne Sentinel: A man is tramping
through the state getting rid of counterfeit
so bills on the Muncie national bank. The
bill is fair looking one, and will deceive
the most careful.
Cambridge City Tribune: Some of our
young men do not know what to do. They
wanted work all the year and did not find 1T.
Now that harvest hands are in demand, they
are trying to think of some other kind or
work they would rather do.
Hoosier State: The editor of the Indianiau
would never have gotten his tail over the
political dashboard and Topped oyer to the
nationals if his superior qualifications for
office had been recognized by the republican
party. But then you know, that s'if'' is the
reason why the dog didn't catch the rabbit.
Richmond Independent: DR.. N. A. Mum
ball, of Indianapolis, the Y. NJ. c. A. work
err, arrived in the city last evening at
O'Clock d. m. He held large street meeting
at the corner of Fifth and Mann streets. HIS
audience almost blockaded the street. After
this meeting was held in the Y. NJ. G. A.
room.
Logansport Pharos: e. w. Halford, for
merly editor of the Indianapolis Journal,
came up from Lafayette last week, and spent
a short season in our city. 1t is whispered
that the candidate for attorney general on
the republican ticket has been making over
lures to Mr.. Halford to take charge OF the
Journal.
Goshen Democrat: Mrs. Emma Molloy
and Major WEIGH are working up temper
ance revival again in the benighted region
of South Bend, Niles, and adjacent towns.
We wish they would come up this way and
reconstruct some of the brethren who are
getting little lukewarm in the cause. Pro-
fessor Gardner left before finishing the good
work.
At a meeting of the board of directors of
the Masonic Mutual aid association, of
New Albany, held Tuesday night the fol-
lowing officers were elected for the ensuing
term: F. s: Devol, president: I. P. Leyden,
vice president; M. ID. Condiff, secretary; c..
II. Fawcett. treasurer; s. ]. Alexander, ex.
surgeon w. w. Tuley. attorney JOINT
Peters, general agent.
Franklin Jeffersonian: The cutting Of
the wheat crop is about all il not altogether,
completed, and we think we can safely say
that never before was there such wheat
crop raised in Johnson county. The acreage
was not only vast, but the yield and quality
of the grain will be grand, and is likely to
turn out from fifteen TO thirty five
bushels to the acre. We may now look for
cheap flour and that that is good.
New Albany correspondence Louisville
Commercial: Joseph Eckard, the crooked
distiller OF Harrison county, failed to appear
in the United States court ON Monday and
hi of wa fort cd hon
o'clock yesterday morning ne came to town
and gave himself up to Deputy Marshal Pay
ton. He stated that sickness in bis family
prevented his responding. He was commit
ted to Jail yesterday in default or new
bond.
Columbus Democrat: Bartholomew county
has nine temperance societies-more than
any other county in the state, and yet the
very place there ought to be one, in fact the
only place worthy of note in the county, has
none. Its officers had to foot the expenses
of the hall, and the organization went down.
Speakers from distance had to be paid. 1t
takes money to run temperance society.
and it must be forthcoming.
The Fort Wayne Sentinel thus refers to
one of the leading institutions of the city:
Never was the filthy old calaboose a greater
nuisance than at present. The stencil
emanating therefr0m has been strong for
years; now it is unbearable The old shell
is Ieeking with filth and swarming with
vermin. The air is close and polluted, and
a healthy man finds il difficult to inhale 1t
more than a few moments. Through the
imbecility, or worse, of the council, the old
plague spot has disgraced and lnsulted the
community for many years; and now de
ceDcy ana common humanity demand thai
some change be made. Will the council
take some action?
Madison Star: We have conversed with
several farmers of our county this morning
notably among whom were DR.. David J.. Nc
Cure, of Lancaster township, and Mr.. James
Baxter, of Monroe. and they tell of an insec,
in the oats which is likely to ruin the crop
1t is little green louise, about half the size
of a house fly, and it is very destructive.
eating the head off of the grain. Some of
the farmers were very much alarmed, think
ing the insects were young grasshoppers,
and gave the corn crop up for gone. Mr..
Baxter says that about sixteen years ago the
same insect made its appearance and did
much damage. The oat crop in this vicinity
may be given up for gone:
Lafayette Courier: George Dixon, who was
arrested yesterday for assaultiug James
Burns. was bound over by Mayor Kimmel in
the sum of 81, 900 to await the action of the
grand jury. Burns is from Culver station,
and met Dixon in Fitzgerald's saloon, where
he played several games of pool with him.
and afterward at Madeira & CONFESS saloon.
At the Later place they had some words and
one of the pToprietors ordered Burns out.
Dixon, it seems, went out first, and was fol-
lowed by Burns. When Burns came out
Dixon struck him on the back of the head
with stone, knocking him down, and then
kicking HIM brutality in the face and head
Dixon, ii will be remembered, was arrested
about year ago for stealing coat from

released, as the party did not desire to prose
