For Thirty Teart. For thirty years TViatar's Balsam of Wild Cherry has been kept for sale by druggists generally, and n all that time there lias not been a single complaint made, but on the contrary the druggists and the people acknowledge It to he zhe best remedy for the cure of -J.nighs, C:-d$. Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma, and atl lung fiiaeuses. A Queer Aofton. Mar.y peRple think it cheaper to buy 25 cent sizes of proprietary juediefne. But they make a mistake.

jrHYSICIANS VEBY OFTEN prescribe, at this time of year, medicines that have for their basis pure brandy or whis ky". If the patient gets impure spirits those made poisonous by dishonest city rectifiers the effect is very harmful. A reputation for securing and selling only pure and unadulterated liquors, is worh something to a man. Such a reputation Angust jKrouger has earned by many years of experience, and persons who re quire whisky or brandy for medicinal purposes, may rest assured that when they buy it of Kreuger they get it as it comes from the distillerv, without any doctoring. The best of anything is none too good for the people, and while they are buying they should get the best it is cheapest.

In Northern Indiana, while the weather is extremely cold there is little or no snow on the ground, and the people of that section are very much alarmed at the condition of the growing wheat. In Southern Indiana, including this county, snow has covered the ground to a depth of from two to eight inches since the latter part of October. In consequence, big crops and general prosperity are almost assured in this portion of the State next sum

mer. Hon.G.S. Orth and Hou.Will. Cumback Avithdrew from the Senatorial contest in favor of Gen. Ben.

Harrison, and the General's nomination in caucus was unanimous

and enthusiastic; hiseIection,today, an ovation. That he will honor

the position no one doubts if he

did less the extravagant claims made

by injudicious friends would be

damaging to his reputation. The sister States of Ohio and Indiana have done well in sending to the U. S. Senate such men as Sherman and Harrison.

F. M. OH oh ant. formerly of

this place, has disposed of his Bedford dry goods store, and removed to Plainfield, Ind., last week. " The excursion enterprise netted its projectors, Browning, Henley and McPbeeters, over $250, This lucky scoop could not have fallen into better hands. A correspondent wants to know "why some of the hungry tramps don't go to Eaton Ohio ?" Eld. Jas.M.Mathes of Bedford, arrived in Bloomington last Saturday morning, and has preached several sermons in the Christian church of this place, siuce then. Geo. M. Chase and his nephew Lcroy, are engaged in the boot and shoe business, in Topeka, Kansas. Leroy H. Chase is near Livermore, Colorado, and is engaged in the stock business, having purchased 3,000 acres of landAt the meeting of the stockholders of the First National Bank, on Tuesday of last week, Nat. U. Hill, John Waldron and Walter E. Woodburn were re-elected directors, and Henry C. Duncan and David V. Busk irk were chosen to fill the places of Ewing Batterton and Redick Wylie. The Bank has added $10,000 to its undivided profits in the past six months, in addition to extinguishing some $ 7,000 of indebtedness. The stock is at par, with none on the market. Oscar Souder has taken a contract to cut a quantity of wood in Arkansas at $2 per cord, and as soon as he can complete the necessary arrangements, will go to his base of operations. He will take six or eight wood-cutters from this place, who will thus be deprived of the delights of the summer circus. Geiger's saloon, next to Dunn's, has evaporated, and the room will hereafter be occupied by Calhoun & Jeffreys as a carnage paint shop. Friday a week will be the last day of service for the February term of circuit oourt. Persons intending to bring suit will bear this fact in mind. John W. Busk irk, our Representative, has been assigned to the committee on the Judiciary, the most important committee of the House. It is, or should be, the duty of that committee to table or cremate four-fifths of the bills introduced by windy members who go up to the capital pregnant with wondrous works. The State of Indiana suffers from too much legislation, rather from too little, and if committees can be induced to sit down on the mass of the bills presented, they will have done a Work to be commended. The Wallace-Villa troupe will be here on Jan. 31st and Feb. 1st. The troupe is A No. 1, as every one who saw it last winter will affirm. Remember the date. The 29th of December, 1880, will be a memorable day in the meteorological history of the country. It was marked everywhere by the lowest temperature of the season, and in many places by the lowest for years. In the Northwest the mefcrify ranged from 6 btSow zero down to 40 below, according to location; At Fort Gary it was 41 below; at Duluth 30 below; at St. Paul 25 below; at Chicago 18 and 2 below; ai Detroit 16 belftw: In Ciuqirihati the temperature was slightly below the zero point all day, the thermometers in home locations, late at night, rcgissering 10 below; Further South';

An interesting letter from Southern California will be found on the second page, and will be good reading for our farmers who work six months to raise enough to feed themselves aud stock the next six. Frank Rogers did not go with the Florida party. His physician advised him to remain at home. Never before in the history of Monroe countv has sleiehiner been

as good or lasted as long as during the present winter, A fur collector came to Bloomington one day last week, with $9 worth of furs hung in front of his saddle. Hitching his horse to the court house rack, he laid the furs in a sleigh that stood conveniently near, and went forth to negotiate a sale. When he returned the sleigh had disappeared, likewise the collection of furs, and at last advices he had seen "neither hide nor hair" of them. Rev. W. P. McNary, Republican Elector for this district, is mentioned by the Indianapolis Journal as a possible candidate for Trustee of the Asylum for the Blind. Mr. McNary fs ability, and services to

the party, entitle him to a better position. Capt. Gil. Perry's high stepping trotter came dashing into town in front of a sleigh, one day last week, bringing the gallant Captain who was in quest of a bottle of paregoric and a bunch of catnip. The Directors of the National Bank held an election,Friday night, at which the old officers were chosen. M. F. Dunn, of Bedford, left that place last week, to take a trip to the Island of Cuba, and to the Republic of Mexico. He will return about the 1st of March. Dunn&Co. received forty sacks of coffee at oneshipment,Iast week. John Taylor, who has been residing in Missouri and in States further west, during the past two years, returned to Bloomington last week. The Democratic caucus, at Indianapolis, last Friday night, nominated Isaac P. Gray for the empty

honor of U.S.Senator. by a vote of

32 for Gray, and 19 for McDonald. Wilburn Cron lost his pocket book, last Friday, containing 800. Newspaper men are more fortunate their pocket books seldom contain as much as 80c. James Sare, Chas. Robertson and Drury Hodges, it is rumored, will soon join the grand army of drummers. Two traveling physicians and two tombstone agents made their appearance in this place simultane

ously, last week. A remarkable coincidence. Water, owing to the long-continued freeze, is somewhat difficult to procure, both for stock and for manufacturing. Water has been hauled from the public weils during the past week for one of the stave factories in the northwestern portion of the city. The Cincinnati Commercial is one of the newsiest papers of the West and takes high rank with general readers. In addition to the desirable qualities of the Commercial itself, it offers inducements in the way of premiums that ought to encourage many persons to take hold of it who would otherwise be indifferent. Read the prospectus and satisfy yourself. Beginning Feb. 10th, Win. T.

Democrats went over to the 3 Na

tionals and elected a National Sec

retary of the Senate, but it will be

seeu that they made very little out

of the trade. Albert Whisenand and Mrs

Elizabeth Parks visited the office of 'Squire Tate.one night last week,

and requested the 'bquire to marry

them, which by the authority held

in his right hand he then and there

proceeded to do. A friend at Indianapolis writes that the generally published statement that the lady married by Gov, Porter is but 25 years of age is an error. She is less than ten years younger than Gov. Porter, The contest in the Republican caucus last Thursday night, over the selection of State Librarian was one of the most animated ever witnessed in Indiana. There were twenty-one candidates, all ladies but two, and since the Legislature convened a very spirited canvass has been kept up between sessions, most of the candidates making the Grand Hotel their headquarters. The ladies were all good looking, and the members listened to their

stories attentively. It is said that

nearly all of them felt confident of

success, ana tuac nan a uozeu ueclared they had sufficient pledges

to nominate them on the nrst bal

lot. But the result shows how fickle

are men, especially when surround

ed by nineteeo good looking ladies

representing the young, the old,

the bereaved, and the unfortunate. The following is a list of the can

didates in the order nominated,

with the number of votes received

by each on the first ballot;

Mrs. Emma A. Winsor, Greoncastla,

12: Mrs. Mary E. Marsh, JfortYiIle, 2:

Mrs. Helen M. Richardson, Indianapolis,

Sarah T. fiolton, Indianapolis, 0 ; Miss Florence Hunter, Bloomington, 0, and Mr. K. A. Conner, Kentland, 4. After three or four ballots the votes were concentrated upon Mrs. Winsor, Mrs. Davidson, and Miss Moffit, with a few scattering votes, but on the thirteenth ballot Mrs. Winsor got forty-three to Mrs. Davidson's thirty-four, and was de clared nominated. It was very exciting, and the members evidently enjoyed the sport. Mrs. Winsor, the nominee, is a lady of fine talents and superior qualifications for the position. Her husband, Captain Samuel H. Winsor, served during tbe entire war of the rebellion, was in twenty-threo battles and received an injury which resulted in his permanent insanity. He is now in the insane asylum, and his wife is entirely dependent on her own efforts for the support of herself and two children. She U a native of Indiana, a niece of the late Rev. Bishop E. R. Ames, and of Senator Booth, of California.

There is a lively corniest for pre-eminence going on between three or four varieties of traps for human life. The gun not supposed to be loaded holds its own pretty well with the kerosene can used an a fire kindler, while tbe strychnine in the guise of the innocent carbonate of soda, vies with trichina-infested raw pork in its unpleasant surprise to careless and imprudent ?eople. An Italian named James 'alughi, has just fallen a victim in Chicago to his penchant for uncooked sausage. He suffered for about thirty days, and only yielded when the parasites invaded the regions of the heart. His wife and two daughters are also in danger from the same cause. There should be a rigid adherence to certain plain rules on the part of those who wish to avoid accidents from either of the foregoing causes: 1. To always treat every gun or pistol as though it were surely loaded. 2. Never under any circumstances to permit strychnine, oxalic acid or any similarly dangerous substance in the house, except for immediate use and when wanted. 3. To remove the kerosene can out of reach of ignorant and careless persons; and 4. Never under any circumstances, to eat pork which has not been pretty well cooked. No one who observes these precautions will ever fall into any of these palpable traps. i if a m i

If you want a wagon that will give entire satisfactien,call on the Gilmores, west of Leffler's Mill, and examine their work you can depend upon any statement they make. That is their reputation. Len.
