' And still the excitement continues among the patrons of M. J. Smith & Co. Why ? Because they are selling Clocks, Watches, and Jewelry at greatly reduced prices, in order that much of their present stock may be turned into money before a change of proprietorship (which is to be) takes place. When Tobe gets excited, he don't seem to GStre d iaraond for expenses, and will sell goods almost as cheap as the importer, ""John G. MePhetridge, proprietor of a Provision Store, in :;his place, left home for New Albany, several weeks ago, ostensibly for the purchase of goods. It is reasonable to suppose that lie has-"gone where be woodbine twinefch," as Leydcn 4fe Co. A Bradley & Co., of New Albany, have taken possession of the stock and fixtures of his store. MePhetridge was doing a good business he had concentrated at his establishment nearly all of the Democratic trade of the town, in his line, and being an affable, accommodating business man, kept his customers. The assets, it is believed, will
pay about fifty cents oa the dollar of liabilities. Gou Down Goods Down. Taley & Co., proprietors of the New York Store, keeping pace with the decline in gold, have reduced the prices of all classes of Goods, in their establishment, and intend to
run them off, so that they may bring on a larger and more attractive Spring stock than ever. This announcement is not mere form, the gentlemen of the firm mean just what they say, aad those who go to the' New York Store for bargains, -will not lie disappointed.

This reminds us of a story we heart?, quite recently, altuut a citizen cf this county. Several years ago he bought a light wagon, with a bos bed, and brought it with him to th is State. He drove one horse to thj wagon, regularly for several years, often lifting loads over the tail-lioard with great difficulty. While in town one day, he observed a tes meter who unscrewed a rod, -at the rear end of his wagon, dropped
the ward, and a half-dozen barrels of flour were rolled out with ease. Here was an idea. So off the old mar hurried to Seward's shop, and finding one of the Scwards, told him he wanted the tail-board of his waj.on hung on hinges, with a rod to told it up. Seward examined the was;on, turned a nut at the side of the tail-board, draw out a rod, and
down dropped the gate upon its hinges. "Well, well," exclaimed the old man, chewing his tobacco vigorously, "I've had this 'ere wagon two years, and never know'd that afcre!" Penmanship. Mrs. W. W.

Douglass has given evidence independence and manhood,
by thus tacitly refusing to be used for political capital by Whittlesey, and the latter, it he is at all sensitive, must feel deeply disgusted with himself.

John P. Smith, the popular Jeweler and Repairer of Watches, finding that the room he had been occupying for several years past, was too small to meet the requirements of his rapidly increasing business, leased the room ou the west side of the square, adjoining the auction store, nnd fitting it up in a manner both elegant and seat, removed to bis present location early this Spring. With a commendable determination to excel, Mr. Smith procured a large, choice and attractive stock of Goods, including fine Jijwelry, Musical Instru
ments. Clocks, and an assortment of
American and Forp Watches, in silver .and gold cases, ve&Mi equalled in this
portion of the Stnlc. He also secured ths
latest and most approved machinery and
toots, for the successful prosecution of the business of Watch Repairing, and now bids
defiance to eomjietition. Persons having ' anything in the line of Watch repairing to do, or desiring to supply themselves with the latest styles of Jewelry, or perfect, timekeeping Watches, will consult their best interests by giving Johh P. Smith, the West side Jeweler, a call. ft'b? Persons who intend to paper their rooms, have begun to make selections, at Shoemaker & Go's. The fact is, that much the largest stock of Wall Papers ever brough; to Bloom ington, are now for sale a ; this establishment, and no one need leave the store unsuited, either in ' :tyle, quality or price. Some of th 2 -choicest Teas ever introduced into this section of country, have been

Cur 'bald nnd gray' do not want to be out. I My mother is :i 'iving n-commendntiou of j t ie results from the use of the lienower. Being almost seventy years old, and having j vorn a wig over thirty years, it seems a miracle to those who have known her so loner so bald, nrd what little hair she had
being jierfcelly white; now her wig thrown aside, her hair grown out, and a smooth, lossy brown, as in girlhood. Hoping you nay long continue to pour blessings on the beadsof the afflicted, I remain, yours truly." Such evidence, with the indorsement of the great chemists of New England, Dr. A. A. Hayes anc. S. Dana Hayes, should satisfy any one, which of the preparations produce the best results. mar
It is said that John R. East. Attorney at Law, late of Iudian Creek township, will be a candidate before the Democratic Convention
for Judge of the Circuit Court. Mr. East graduated in the Lav School, about, three weeks ago. JJ A number of colored people arrived from the south, last Satur
day. We noticed our venerable
friend, the former Chairman of the Democratic Central Committee, mixing around pretty lively among the colored friends, but we did not learn certainly that he induced any of them to locate on his fruit farm though such an assertion has been made.
Tom Smith has the finest store room in Indiana, as well as the largest stock of Watches and Jewelry. He will sell a genuine American watch, in coin silver case, '"or $15, and he sells other "makes'' of watches for$.r and upward. Tohe has also added new machinery to that with which his wc uk HOJ- was already supplied, which enable him to do all kinds of watch repairing for about half the prices that others charge, rind in a much tetter manner. He don't pitch
up your watch so that it will run for a few days, but he supplies new works, instcal of the old, so that when it leaves his hands, yonr time-keeper is as good as new. If jfou call upon him, ho will give you his price hit. De2Uf
We have heard of but one
colored man who is a Democrat, and as he is an intense admirer of Dan. Voorhees, Bro. Mitchem,
says he intends to get this one to run as "Independent Republican" candidate for Sheriff ; that the Democrats will not bring out a regular -candidate, but will support the colored man, and in this way, they expect to defeat the Republicans !
