MADISON (IND.) ITEMS.

/
The Misses. Harris gave an exceed
ingly pleasant reception at their resi-
dence, Mount Look Out, on Thursday
evening of last week. 1t was compli-
mentary toMr. William Fielding of Gin
cinnai, who was here visiting his friend
Mr.. F. S, Delany. Among the several
pleasant features Of the reception, were
the literary exercises, in which nearly
all present took part, Mr.. Fielding
leading Off in defamation which was
rendered in fine style Mss. Maria
Shannon was called upon to read a Sc
lection from Burns. She responded to
the call in her usually free and easy
manner, and it is not an exaggeration
when We say, her rendition of the piece,
| was paragon Of excellence. The other
participants did well and deserve some
thing more than a passing notice; but
our short space, and want of time, for
bids. Refreshments were served about
ten clock, and the following toasts
we're proposed, and responded to: our
hostesses,' Mr.. w Frank Anderson; !;
"onr honored guest" Mr.. J. G. Allen !;
The ladies . Mr.. f. s. Delany; "tho
4 ladies' Miss Gertrude Harris; "Our
Country Mr.. Z. j. Wilson, "Spring, :"
Miss Ella Harris; The city of Madison, :,
/ Mr.. William Fielding,of Cincinnati.
Mr.. Fielding's response was, what may
be termed happy hit; he referred to
his visit here as one of the most pleas
ant he had ever. made anywhere, and
said that when far away, he would not
forget the city Of Madison, her hos
pitahle citizens in general, nor her
charming ladies in particular. The re-
ception lasted until late hour and was
= grand success in every respect.
! Mr.. +. S Delany did the handsome
thing by his Cincinnati grest. He
has evidently been there before"
Mr., Charlie Taylor and four other

, a fuller recognition of them.
Mrs. Mary c. Johnson is i'll at her
residence on Walnut street.
Mrs, James Thomas is recovering

The scramble for the postoffice is
disgusting. Col. CARRIER died Friday
afternoon at O'Clock, and by hall
past two, the same afternoon, some OF
the ravenouS office seekers were on
their way to Washington City to GET
: the place made vacant. BY Saturday
a young army of others were clamOr.
J ing most boisterously for the place
, Col. Bob Craig says if he were Gar.
field he would recognize no man who
. was indecent enough 10 join in the
scramble for the office before Col
CARRIERS remains were cold. Col
Bob is about right, and we hope Gar
