A PROTECTED IMPROVEMENT.

An improvement is about to be
made on one of the buildings on Front
street. which will entirely change the
appearance of one of the oldest blocks
in the city. We refer to the three
story stone structure nearly opposite
The Saulpaugh, owned by Stephen
Lamm. The changes which he con-
templates include a new front, and
the remodeling of the interior. The
present stone facing will be succeeded
by a brick front, with stone trim
mings, and plate glass windows
Halls will be constructed in the Sec
ond and third stories. The first floor
will be divided into two stores.
The building is an old landmark,
having stood on its present site for
the past thirty years. The morter is
almost as tenacious as the stone it
self. and seems to excel that of the
present day, having hardened as the
years rolled by. The improvement
will be beneficial to the appearance OF
that portion of Front street. 81, c.
Gerlach has prepared the plans.

Of Interest to Teachers.

All good male and female teachers
are invited to participate in the edu-
cational enlightenment of all scholars
who are willing to be taught the
economy, the frugality, and the thrift,
undertaking the principles, and con-
nected with the truths and purposes
in that line of business which gives in
vestment and protection TO its MEM
bers. Sometimes illustrated in a
comic way; and again, as an economic
system. Sometimes in a ludicrous
way, and geological. Showing that
many expect to get something for
nothing. Where some think an
agents ''say so," better than con-
tract, or still others that a contract
is never misleading. No, never. All
teachers who can scientifically elimi-
nate the true from the false either by
showing up the ludicrous side or by
piling facts upon facts can obtain lu-
crative position by applying in person
at 323 Warren street.

RELIEVED OF THEIR BOND.

His bondsmen concluded TO surren-
der Geo. S. Powlison last night. two of
them deciding TO withdraw from his
bail bond. The four came before
Judge Porter quietly, the attorneys
were summoned, and Powlison was
again taken into custody by Chief
Fowler. A new bond was made out.
with Capt. t. II. Andrews and Cav
lord Lamb as sureties, and the prisoner
was again set free. The reason why
the two bondsmen desired to be re-
heyed of their responsibility is
though to be because Powlison has not
yet obtained work, and might be likely
to leave the city. They have also as
certained that he is owing a debt of
5000 to lady in Indiana Powlison
says that it is just debt, and was in
CURED when he failed in business. The
lady holds his notes and he will pay
them when he is able. Powlison has
searched diligently for work but has
thus far been unable to obtain any.
He is willing to do almost any work.
as it will relieve his mind Of the strain
upon it.

Editor Free FreSS:
I see by the last weeks Register that
I had sold out all my poultry as
poultry did not pay at South Bend.
The Register correspondent made a
mistake. for I sold out because it DID
pay, and if the correspondent desires
some fine poultry next fall, we will
have some fine stock to select from,
and when we can find customer to
buy all we have on hand, we can turn
our incubator loose and soon furnish q
new crop. We have never had poul-
try enough to supply the demand and
we think poultry pays as well in South
Bend as elsewhere.
