Henri Watterson's idiotic attack upon
Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks is universally
condemned by the State press. The Sey-

Hon. Schuyler Colfax called at this office
on Tuesday morning, and told us how he wan

House the night previous, in his bare feet, in
search Of a towel with which to rub his lower

had to pay house rent and had everything to

called good investment, as follows:
The Crawford county agricultural board
have decided to offer three premiums for the

There is a prospect that the people OF
