For Thirty Tears. For thirty years Vistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry has been kept for sale by druggists generally, and in all that time there nas not been a single complaint made, bat on the contrary tbe druggists an 4 the people acknowledge it to be the best remedy for the cure of Coughs, Colds, Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma, and all lung diseases. A Queer Notum. Many peaple think it cheaper to buy 25 cent sizes of proprietary medicine. But they make a mistake. For instance, Dr. "W istar's Balsam of Wild Cherry contains about eight times the quantity of ordinary cough balsams. Besides it takes a less quantity of W istar's Balsam to cure a euld. A single dose is often sufficient. For deep seated colds and Consumption it has proven itself to be the best and quickest euro ever discovered. Now is the Time.

More letters were placed in the postoffice boxes unstamped, last week,than ever before in the history of the county. If you don't hear from your valentine look in the show case in the postoffice newsstand. Capt. Geo. W. Friedley of Bedford is attending court. The Captain is a popular man and an able, conscientious attorney. Each Sunday, when the weather will permit, a crowd of loud-mouthed ruffianly boys congregate at the old postoffice corner, where they pass the time in scuffling, swearing, and conducting themselves ia a disorderly manner generally. Friday will be observed in the public schools as Longfollow's Day. Fourteen persons are mad because they think the adultery article of " U Bet " was hinting at them. Well, now, perhaps it was. The Leffler Mill express wagon horse ran away last Wednesday, and whirling around one block six or eight times, backed up to a grocery store to have an imaginary load of flour delivered. Force of habit. -A man, which his name it is Meadows, has brought from some point in Illinois a general country stock of goods, and has placed them in the old Harryman room. If the Bean Blossom ers get a fair whirl at him they will clean out that stock of goods in less than nine months. A.B. Tresslar has concluded to quit the retail lumber trade will direct his attention to buying fur shipment exclusively. Mr. Ward will conduct a retail yard at his mill near Showers' factory. The jay birds came out in force last week.. They look very handsome in their blue uniforms with pointed caps. There is no lime in this place at present. Alexander will begin to burn lime in March. The next sensation will be the election of city councilmen, mayor and marshal. Timber thieves in Marion, Benton, Polk and Salt Creek townships have been interviewing the grand jury It is wonderful bow little these people know. Mr. H. H. Withers of Bedford, was married last week, to Miss Annie E. Koons, daughter of John Koons, a well-known farmer of this county. The assistant Professor of Greek in Indiana University, arrived on Friday night. It will bo twenty-one years before be will be prepared for duty. Kother and child doing well. The express train from the north is never, or hardly ever, on time at this place. It has a long road to travel. And now Judge Collins writes

that he cannot act as a Circuit Judge at the time appointed, so Judge Franklin will occupy the bench. In the Cincinnati horse market, the following prices are now obtained : Horses, plain to good shippers $60 to $90 ; good drivers and draught horses $100 to $140. Mules, for H to 14 hands high $65 to $75; 14 to 15 hands $80 to $90; 15 to 16 hands $00 to $125. For larger mules prices range higher. There is a fair supply in stables. Newt. Mathers, the popular stock buyer, purchased at tiwle recently and turned it into bis stock yard; and soon discovered that Mr, Itfuie was so vicious tfiat he would permit no other animal to share bis enclosure. A fev evenings sinoe a skunk attempted to cross the yard and the rtwle pounced uprfri it, seized it by the back shook t as a dog WQuJa a rat until it dtied-but the mule almost fainted, and is .not fit 0 go Into society. Our informmant says it is the sickest muje be ever saw.

The New York and Bostou capitalists who contemplate investing in manufactories in Bloomington, are very anxious that we should secure another railroad to induce competition in freights. A number of orders from Chicago parties will be filled with the fine stone from the Dunn quarry, ea9t of town, so soon as the weather -will permit men to work out doors.

The only impediment in the way of

a large contract is the uncertainty of supply, not enough stripping having been done to determine the quantity of stone that can be secured. Chicago experts declare that it is the finest and best limestone they have ever had the privilege of examining. The O. & M. railroad will sell round trip tickets to the Opera Festival at Cincinnati at $5.00, commencing February 21st, discontine February 25th, good until February 28th. Fashions repeat themselves. The now fashionable poke bonnet was all the rage in 1690, as many of our citizens will remember. Mrs. Livingstone received back pension last week, to the amount of $1,500. Granville Jackson will soon receive $750 from the same

source.

J. W. Harryman, now of Morgan county, H. Q. Houghton of Montezuma, Ind., 'Dore Wylie of Toledo, Miss Minnie Dunn of Louisville, and Mrs. Carnahan of Loogootee were visiting the Athens of Indiana last week. A member of the legislature, whiie on a visit to the Indianapolis female reformatory, when requested to make a few remarks, made use of this language: "I am glad to see so many of you here !" The brief and eloquent effort was not rapturously applauded. James Ward has between fonr and five hundred logs on his mill yard at Unionville. It isn't often that the much abused oak tree gets in its work, but Friday last a fellow known as Reece Kicheson, was transported in a second by one. If he had paid heed to tho father! f advice given him in this office one day this winter, he might not now be climbing the golden stair. What did you say about the roads? Fine? Yes. Bro. Feltus new head is quite an improvement. We always have insisted that the Courier and Progress were good, reliable and moral papers, deserving the success they arc achieving. Mrs. James Seward, Charles Robertson and Caleb Bell, all of whom have been thought to be at death's door the past week, are now some better, though not out of dan ger. Last week Mr. Hines shipped two car loads of lumber from Clear Creek Switch to Denver, Colorado. The freight was more than the cost of the lumber here. About $2,000 worth of delinquent tax lands were sold. This (Tuesday) is the anniversary of George's birthday. " First iu war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen." Tice says that we will have more snow in March. Have mercy, Tice, the dry wood is used up in this section of the country.

It is not uncommon to hear of

ten or fifteen sheep being killed in one neighborhood by dogs, in a single night, and but little is said about it. But suppose the sheep loser were to shoulder his truRty gun and kill fifteen worthless neighborhood dogs what a bowl would be raised. By the way, wouldn't it be well to 6end out a preliminary skirmisher to ascertain who owns dogs before the regular Assessor goes around ? There are more dogs than owners, it seems, yet somebody harbors every sheep-killing whelp of them. Some of the sharks are demanding and getting (because the people cannot help themselves) $4.50 to $5.00 for green wood, not three days out of the tree, If this winter has not been long enough and severe enough to induce emigration to Southern Texas, there is no use in trying to discourage people. Six months of enforced idleness in each year is too much while life is so short. Walter Maxwell, now a drug clerk at Eockville, and Charley Ax tell, a dry goods salesman of Washington, Daviess county, attended circuit court as witnesses, last week. Married, in Richland Church, Sunday night, Feb. J3th, by Rev, Treat, M. B. Hamilton to Miss Minnie Baker. Two of the Jacobs children were taken to the Reformatory at Plainfield, by Trustee Adams, last Week, They were the children of Dave Jacobs, who was lynched in Salt Creek township. -rrAu able defense of the Indiana University, from the pen of Dr. Moss, appeared in tjie Indianapolis Journal of last jT'rlday. Mr, Kinser a resident of Guthrie, ft Mr. Meadows, Miss Richardson, Mr. Humphreys and Mrs. Qrifttav all of the southern portion of ibis county, died last week.

Somebody over the signature of "Student," protests in the Indianapolis Journal, against the present location of the University because there "13 no society" here. Great heavings !

Maj. Grimsley of Gospoft was married, on Sunday a week, to Mrs; J, E. Goss. Joe Marks, the handsome and popular Cincinnati clothing salesman, has earned an interest in the house whose business he has so conscientiously labored to increase during tho past six years, and was in Bioomington last week with his brother, who he is introducing into the mysteries of selling big bills. Joe's friends, who embrace all his acquaintances, will be glad to learn that he may hereafter be found in tbe house, at the Paris of America. The wife of an Indianapolis colored man eloped with a cullud pusson, taking five of her children, and the husband "is a huntin' uv 'er." The follow don't know when he'd in luck. The liquor law we now have, if but half enforced, will shut up every Faloon in the State. It is impossible for a man to so conduct a saloon that he will not commit some violation of the present law's provisions. About those tree tops in the court houso yard whose business is it to see that they do not obstruct But this matter has been referred to before, we believe, John V. Harryman, as honest a man as ever weighed a pound of coffee, and who has a little fortune "credited out " among his Bonn Blossom customers, was in Bioomington last week, Elder Cutsinger is conducting a series of religious meetings in Shoals, Marti county. Mif. Mathers will remove to New Albany, where he will carry on the business of selling feed ana grain, and will conduct a wagon yard. He will sell his farm products by auction on March 15th. ' Cincinnati people are unnecessarily particular. Recently a sausage purchaser discovered a finger in the chopped meat, and was not content till he found the butcher's boy who had lost it ia the machine. Some of the sharp timber thieves in the vicinity of Mahalaaville, escaped investigation by the early adjournment of the grand jury. Arrangements will be made to scoop in tbe whole netful before long, at some of them have concluded to tell what they know about stealing timber in section 2, Marion township. Mrs. Livingtone, whose good fortune in securing $1,500 in back pension is narrated in another column, has purchased the house on 7th street, west of James Small's residence, paying Mrs. Young 9450. Her son, Robert, has purchased a small stock of groceries, and will open a store in Smithville this week. Charles Small, for some time past a clerk in Cole's book store, has been tendered and has accepted the position of teller in the 1st National Bank of this city. John C. Voss, Charles Tourner and Dick Maxwell have gone to Cincinnati to bear the grand opera singers who squall in Italian this week. These young men are noted local musicians, and we may reasonably expect that they will secure points from the orchestra while there that will be put to practical use in our home u swaarees" The Progress man is only jealous 'cause be can't be with them. Last week Ab. Ketcham sold to Ragsdale of Lawrence county, thirty head of one and two-year old mules at an average of $93 per head. In tbe trade Mr. Ketcham takes seventy-seven acres of the old Nick Whisnand farm, at $15 per acre. Tho past winter has been a disastrous one for bee keepers. The bees have nearly all died, and the honey is exposed to sale in the grocery stores. The loss in dollars, in the aggregate, is quite large in Monroe county, as numbers of our people were taking considerable interest in bee culture. Hugh Marlin had twenty-five hives, and but one was found alive. Some persons attribute this result to the extreme cold, others to the fact that the bees were so closely confined, owing to the ice and snow. Let the cause be what it may, the bees are dead, and this accounts for the (at this season) unusual amount of honey exposed for sale, If anybody is verdant enough to believe that a man can haul a half cord of wood in an ordinary two-horse wagon let him stack his purchase aud measure it. A cord of 4-foot wood must be eight feet long and four feet high no two of the so-called half cords that have been measured are reported to have reached the standard. A man down on Moore's creek, is going to kill his dog. He invited a preacher to make his house his home for several weeks. AH the week tbe man's dog was as quiet as any dog ought to be, but on Sunday morning, about the time for family prayers, the dog walked up to a shot gun that stood in the corner, and begun to wag his tail; then be would go to his master and act tickled, and wag himself and run to the gun and bark, until the minister noticed it. The dog kept this thing up till his owner had to shut him up in the barn, and then he howled all day. The minister will never be convinced that that man is not in the habit of goitfg out with the gun on Sunday to exercise bis dog, though the man says the dog is a liar, Those who saw the dog say he.iibted as thftugh hia feelings were hurt because his master did not pi6k up the guu.

W.JEtower performing the ceremony. Miss Julia Waldron and Mr. Edward Michner were bridesmaid and grodinsfaati. The large audience room was crowded with the friends of the bride and groom long before the hour fixed for the ceremony, and promptly at 2 o'clock the bridal party marched up the central aisle. The bride's dress was of dregs of wine silk, trimmed with bMcadfc plbsli. . The, dress was made with polonaise and train skirt the front width was made of the bro&ade plush with panels of knife pleated silk ; the train tfas b'f the silk, with a sash of the brocade plUsh; Miss Julia Waldron wore a handsome dress of wine colored satin deLyon, made short, with basque and trimmed skirt ; the front of the skirt was trimmedwith three ruffles,each beaded with a puS ; the back was artistically draped ; the side panels were laced with cords and balls. At the conclusion of the ceremony the bridal party, with friends, repaired to the residence of the bride's parents, where an informal reception was held, and at 5:20 the young couple took the train for Louisville. Wm. Chambers, aged 22 years (sonofDugan Chambers) died on

Saturday last near Smithville, of

pneumonia. W.W. Wicks and Len. S. Field left Bioomington for New York city on Monday, to secure spring goods for the Bee Hive and New York . j jj

stores. Wicks promised to call on W.H.Vanderbilt and secure a small loan to aid in building our east and west railroad provided he could find Bill at home. Miff. Mathers will sell all his farming implements, wagons,horses, cattle, corn, hay, etc., by auction,on March 15th, at his farm residence, a half mile south of Clear Creek Switch. Six months' credit on all sums over $3, without interest, is one of the features. Remember the date, and be there early. Considerable land bas already been broken in Lee county, Texas, for the planting of corn. Dressed chickens have been scarce in this market all winter no cholera. Alex. Starnes of Owen county, (formerly a citizen of Richland tp.,) was in Bioomington last Saturday, in quest of stock hogs. A number of men are here on the same business. The constitutional convention movement bas been defeated in the legislature, and the amendments are to be re-submitted on the 14th of April. Hank Ford, a well-known employe of Mr.Dolan, the stave buyer, is now at his home in Illinois, in tbe last stages of consumption.

Who's Afraid f Ed. Progress : I was very much pained to read in the last issue of your paper, what might be regarded as an unkind criticism upon us gentlemen who manage to evade the expense and responsibilities of married life by dodging into various houses at a late hour, and slipping out between 5 and 6 a. m. I regard this as one of tbe privileges of a free American citizen and deny that any one has a right to object. If other men are fools enough to marry and thus entail the expenses of housekeeping upon themselves that is their fault, So far as myself and many friends who do as I do, are concerned, we find our practices tbe cheapest, besides we are free to com e and go when we please, and there are no expensive divorce proceedings necessary if we conclude to break off altogether, Thero is another view of tbe matter that ought to commend it to unpeople: that is that tbe children are gradually and almost imperceptibly educated by our example to look upon adultery as not so terrible a crime after all ; for do not tbey see that no one interferes with us, and they naturally conclude that if adultery is such a great wrong, tbeir parents, who are constantly giving moral lectures at home, would rise up and crush it through the strong arm of the law? I come to the defense of my innocent practices thus boldly and fearlessly, because I feel that I am not alone that in numbers there is strength. To prove that tbe practices ot which I speak are growing, X make the assertion tnat in all quarters of the city are bouses where this new religion is observed, including some of the most aristocratic neighborhoods. Now if this manner of thing is wrong why doe it increase? Does not some one say the wicked shall not prosper? "Wo want no more interference with our privileges upon the part of people or newspapers, for it's nobody's business if we pay $3 per week for bortrdiffg our Wonlen or if it costs us $10.
