publican joke on Block Island. 1t comes
from the Lagrange Standard. Mr.. Hen
bricks, says the Standard, was inquirlng the
way, in New York, to Block Island. Sam

Standard. That is the joke. This is "a
SCOOP" but whether on the Cincinnati
Commercial or the New York Tribune we
can not determine. 1t is "hefty."
The Pike County Democrat says:
A Republican newspaper in Iowa advocates
gether reducing the States 10 provinces, and
Granting charters to such of them as The gen
thew shall conduct tn ir local affairs, subject
at all times to the supervision Oh the central
Isp%eiion OF the United States Senate regard
ing the same a dangerous recognition OF the
Independent existence of the various States.
The Boonville Enquirer says:
The Indianapolis Journal brings us the pain
ful intelligence that the Democratic party is
dead again. We are sorry, for this thing has
occurred SO frequently in the last 10 years that
there is now no more room LETT Fer grave
yard. Suppose we'll have to be cremated this
lime.
Yes! Somehow or other we get the most
votes, and that seems to put life into the old
corpse and keep 1t lively.
The Hancock Jeffersonian says:
d. NJ, Bradbury, a prominent Marion county
attorney, is being talked of by many of the
Republicans of this district as a very available
man for tnem to nominate as q candidate Tor
Congress. Mr.. Bradbury is one of the "stal-
wsrt' Republicans. and as radical as the most
Jealous of that party could wish, and w1thal
very clever gentleman.
Yes, "a very clever gentleman" but then

hands of an inturiated brother attorney.

Some more of John Sherman's work has
come to light. Figs growing in Indiana, in
addition TO an immense wheat and corn
crop. This thing must stop. The Marion
OuIOulClc says.
We are indebted to Mr.. Frank Hall, of our
city, for fine specimen OF figs grown on his
lot. The tree is about six feet in height, and
had had on it, last Sunday, five weL-rtpened
figs, besides a number not yet ripe. This tree
was to us quite a curiosity, it being the first

The Plymouth Democrat says:
James II. Wilkerson was found guilty, and

be confined in the Southern prison one yeal
and to pay fine of 81 900. Had young Wilker
