Tlie Commencement Exercises Of Indiana State University have been of unusual interest. The oxaiv inatious develop the good results of a greater degree of application up;n the part of .'.tridents, and more watchfulness upon the part of the Faculty, thau is common even in this model University of the West. f he people of lUoomiogton, and of the State at large, may justly feel proud of their Institution. Its Faculty is composed of men of the rarest scientific attain men t.s, combined wit h a greater degree of practical common sense, than is usually found among a like number of seientif.c men ; while its surroundings, and the influences brought to l:;ar ujon the youth who are committed to the guardianship of the College, arj of a moral and purifying character eminently rnori so than is

it is needless to n-aste breath discussing the matter. But should an election be found necessary to give expression to the views of our citizens whether or not they will be taxed to build a road t'nen it is time to start tie wind-work. No company, as yet, so far as ".vc can le&rn, has made propositions to our people looking toward the building of an East and West Road, so that an election could havo no definite purpose, unless it might be tr, offer a certain amount to the first Company, which ebon Id build a railroad through the couraty, running east and west. "Why not hold an election of this kind give some jvositive, substantial encouragement to the project, and if this means will not insure the desired end, it is useless to waste time on the enterprise. It does no good to talk railroad, when there is no definite plan of action proposed ; the rambling balderdash indulged in by visionary would-be progressive men,

Smith, that it might be put in warranted running order. But that was only a part of her plan : John ."?. Smith has a large stock of real gold jewelry, among which are many jeautiful full sets of the latest patterns the girl is in .love with one y( these "sets," and is determined to accept no man who will not buy it for her. Persons who ha ve not called at John's new store, can form no just conception of its tasteful arrangement. Call and sec John P. Smith, and you will receive kind, respectful treatment. Benj. McGee is a public benefactor. 'Tia said "the tailor makes the man," and when we call to mind the fact that McGee has been doing

business in this place for sixteen years, we may infer that he should

have the making of several thousan .1 men placed to his credit. When McGee makes a coat or vest for a customer, that individual can rest assured that the garment will fit as if moulded upon him. In short, McGee can fit any man does not

"Snipe Shooting" will be the course taken by many youngsters, who will gaze at Gaston Fay's frontispiece with

ardent desire to be in that salt marsh. "A tale of the Sunset Sea" is one of those pictured fairy poems byMiss Bishop, which readers of the "Riverside" have learned to look for.

Persons who have not visited our town since last summer, will be gratified to note the changes that have taken place for the better The railroad fever has not, passed off, in this locality, notwithstanding our citizens are taking but little active interest in it. There is not a farm in Monroe county, that would not be enhanced in value by reason of the increased market facilities, if another railroad should be built, nor is there a farmer who would

oppose its building, we presu ne, if his individual pocket should not be called upon to contribute it;:, proportionate share of the expenses. This willingness to bo beuolitted at the expense of others, is a trait peculiarly "human," and the only way to overcome it, h to force these selfish parties into favoring their own and the public's interests.

Trial of Reapers anil Mowers. There was an interesting trial of Reapers and Mowers, on th3 farm j of Mr. Wm. Millen, one mile east: of Bloomington, on Monday last. ! The premiums offered by our Agricultural Society, were for the best Combined Reaper and Mower, and for the best Reaper only. The following machines were entered : Champion Seward & Cr., Agents.. Bnckcye Jo me 8m ill. Agent. Hoover Excelsior Allen & Co., Agentn. McCormick M. W. Helton, Agent. All the above were entered as combined machines, except the McCormick, which was a Reaper only. Part of the ground cut over, was nine and smooth, while part was rough and uneven. The wheat for the most part was in good condition, but part was down and much tingled, a better field could not have been selected to test machines. All the machines worked well. Superiority in quality of work done in reaping, seemed to depend very much on the skill of those working them. Durability, workmanship, lightness of draught, &c, seemed to be the principal points the committee would have to decide on. An hour was spent in the forenoon, and about two in the afternoon, in reaping, after which the committee ordered those entered as combined machines, to prepare for mowing. To such perfection have harvesters arrived, that but a very few minutes wore spent in making the necessary changes in the machines. An hour or more was spent in mowing, when the committee made a thorough examination of each machine, allow

ing those having thent in charge to let loose all the surplus gas they

had, in pointing out and explaining the points of superiority ttey claimed

over otuer machines. It is 6aid

that the kind of gas ued on this

occasion was of a light quality, and

therefore, it is hoped that no injury will be done to Mr. Milieu's clover field.

After the examination, the com

mittee retired to a convenient fence corner to deliberate, aad decide which was the best machine. We thought we could see a few anxious faces, while the committee was

making up a verdict. 1 he suspense was of short duration. The following awards were made : Best Combined Reaper and Mower Champion.

Second best Combined Eeaper

ana Mower Buckeye. Bost Reaper only Buckeye. Second best Reaper only Champion. The Champion is a new Machine in this county, but is growing in favor very fast. Mr. Milieu was

kind and obliging, having plenty of

good water in the field all the time, and besides, set a good dinner for all who would go and cat it. Many thanks to Mr. Millen. Q. A Caning AlflTair. After the exercises at the College Chanel, last Saturday evening, the

members of the Sigma Chi Fra

K. Melton, who most worthily eulogized the many services and kindnesses renelered the Order, by one who has long and unswervingly labored for its interests and elevation. He fully realized the "storm" by which he was taken, and replied with feeling and appropriate remarks. The cane is a black Malacca stick,

From what we can learn, it seems that Martin knocked Spencer down, upon little or no provocation, that they grappled with one another, were separated by a saloon keeper named Schell, (in whose establishment the difficulty occurred) and that as Martin made a demonstration looking toward another attack on Spencer, the latter shot him twice with a revolver, the first ball penetrating the chest, the second the forehead. Martin expired soon after being shct. Spencer had a preliminary examination, and wis
