" Physicians tery often prc.K -ibe, at this time of year, medicines that have- for their basis pure brandy or whisky. If, the patient gets impure spirits ' th.ote made poisonous by dishonest city t ctifiars the effect is very harmful.

Our old-time friend, Hugh
Campbell, was in town last Friday, on crutches, the first time in four weeks that he has been able to be out. He was riding on the running gear of a wagon, just over a brake, when the coupling pole broke and one of Mr. Campbell's ankles was caught and badly sprained. It is fortunate that no bones were broken.

When you are in town go down to Dunn's and get a pound of that

A great deal ot complaint is
made about the condition of the
Hunter and Labertew hill. Per
sons have been in the Progress of-
nee during the past week wno say
that it is next to impossible to draw a wagon through the mud. The
ground is "spouty," holding water
like a sponge, and the wheels sink in to the hub. Some of the persons
wno are compelled to came over
this road in order to reach Bloom
ington declare their intention to go to Martinsville hereafter. The
worst part of the road, (say those who are posted) is within the corporate limits of the city, and as the labor of three or four men as many days in ditching and throwing up the earth would drain it, it certainly would seem to be a piece of work demanded by the business interests of Bloomington. Now let those who are interested in securing trade look into this matter for themselves. The old platform at the depot will be taken away and a new one built level with the tracks. Platforms are being constructed level with the tracks from 5th to 6th streets, and the middle track will be used for passenger trains, the freight trains taking the track next the depot. After the platforms are finished it is proposed to place an
electric light on the depot building and the railroad men may then celebrate the completion of the work by a grand ball and reception. And why not? Representative Buskirk returned to Bloomington Saturday. He succeeded in getting a $3,000 item in the specific appropriation bill for a heating apparatus in the University, but it was finally defeated as well as the specific appropriation bill itself. Mr. B. returns to-day to bo present at the meeting of the Supreme Court as he has a number of cases that will come up for argument. Mr. Sol. Tanenbaum, of the Boss clothing store of Kahn & Tanenbaum, will accompany the Jordan party as far as Germany, where he will visit his old home and friends. In order to raise the money to defray the expenses of his
trip, he will sell every article of spring goods in his line at lower figures than they were ever before offered. He has to do it, and he will do it. Showers Bros, received a smoothing machine from Wisconsin, last Friday, that will do the work of twenty men and do it much better than it can be done by haud. The machine cost these enterprising manufacturers $800. A snow blockade in the Northwest again last Tuesday and Wed nesday, and two inches of snow in New York and Pennsylvania. Was such weather ever experienced in this country before ? Mrs. Arnold, of Topeka, Kas., is at the bedside of her mother, the wife of Prof. Campbell, whose illness has been referred to in these columns. A conjunction of some of the planets will occur on the 22d. In this little lea party Jupiter, Saturn and the Sun will be principal participants. A general invitation is extended to star-gazers. Every man on the Republican city ticket is so well and favorably known that it is useless to speak in complimentary terms of any of them. They will be elected by good majorities. Married, on Thursday night, April 14, at the M. E. church, by Rev. Webb, Rudolphus Pauley ,tp Miss Nora Farmer, both of this place. Married, on Wednesday night last, at the M. . church, by th'e same, Miss Martha Albertson to Oliver Cook of Springfield, Ills. Harvey Newman, of Filmore, Putnam co., has gone into business with G. S. Leach man of the New York Hat Store, in Bloomington. Saturday night a week some lover of horseflesh stole a roan horse fifteen hands high, the property of Isaac Gwinn, whose postoffice is White Hall. Faulkner and Helen Mar White passed the compliments of the season, as the two met at the depot in this place recently.
Wm. J&rmer, the carpenter.

In Clear Creek township, last week, Stephen Davis sold his farm,
known as the old Woodard place, for $3,200, and on Wednesday last Davis and wife, with his three sons, Thomas, Henry and Albert, with their families, left Smithville for Little Rock, Arkansas. They shipped two car-loads of farming utensils, stock,and household goods. The Davis family are Jacksonian Democrats. It would seem that the sending of invitations to a church wedding is a useless formality in this place. In oue instance, in which 300 invitations were issued, over 700 persons responded. A dozen quarter sheet posters would answer the purpose, besides being much cheaper. The court room has been thoroughly scoured, the walls have been calsomined, and a new hemp carpet has been laid down. The room has been sadly in need of renova
tion for several years. Judge Wil
son is having ail the court houses in his circuit cleaned up. The Republican nominating convention, or election, was an exciting one, and a very large vote was brought out. The polls were
kept open three hours, thus giving all Republicans who desired, an op

The Stale oratorical contest at
Indianapolis drew out an immense
audience last Thursday, From the
Journal' report the following is
extracted :
Tho lady contestant, Miss Alice Long.
of the State University, was, of course, the
central attraction of the evening. In Appearance she is decidedly prepossessing, being rather petite, with black bnir nnd
eyes, a fair complexion and regular features. She was -neatly attired in a black silk dress with lace and rosebuds at the throat and no adornments in the way of jewelry. She was decidedly self-possessed and showed a complacency that evidently pleased the audienco. In her delivery she was quite happy, speaking, however, a little too rapidly, but with a clear and well-mod ulalod voice. Her manner was earnest and her gesticulation easy and graceful. At the conclusion of her speech she received a number of most elegant .floral tributes, many of the designs being elaborate and original. She was enthusi
astically and continuously applauded, ac
knowledging the compliment in a grace
ful manner.
The judges of the merits of the repoct-
ive orations and the manner of their delivery were Hon. Robert S, Taylor, of Port
Wayne; Hon. George v. Fnedloy, of
Bedford; Hon. H. W. Harrington and
Prof. H. S. Tarbell, city, with Hon. A. W.
Hendricks as referee. In making op their
decision the judges considered the thought,
composition and delivery of the various
orations, marking eacn ana tnen averaging the whole. When the totals were averaged it was found that Miss Long was
slightly ahead, Mr. Coffin next, and Mr.
Anderson third. U nder toe peculiar
wording of the constitution which governs
these contests it wts necessary to resort to
a ballot, and Mr. Coffin received two votes,
Miss Long one, and Mr. Anderson one,
thus giving Mr. Coffin first place. On the
Da not tor second place miss Jon received a unanimous vote, and was given that
place, with Mr. Anderson third and Mr.
Floyd fourth.
Air. Uomn. the sueecsstui orator, is a
County Treasurer McKiuney
collected $2,600 of tax money, last
Saturday. Qeo. Atkinson returned from Hot 8prings,Ark.,on Thursday.and
crows eloouent in his account of
wonderful cures performed. . Judge Wilson left Bedford for Hot Springs, Arkansas, Thursday last. Judge Franklin will hold Court during the absence of Judge Wilson. A numher of Bedford people came to Bloomington last Sunday.
to attend Easter services in the Catholic Church.
Shoemaker bites off the ends of
his customers' cigars. This discounts McPheeters' patent stamp licker. -John McCalla was confined to his bed last week with neuralgic fever. It is seldom that Mr. McCalla is on the sick list. Jesse A. Mitchell was stirring around among Bloomiugtou horse buyers last Saturday, Jesse looks as young as he appeared fifteen years ago. James Asbury Nabb, formerly of this place, and more recently of Cincinnati, has removed to Austin, Texas, where he is engaged as a salesman in the dry goods house of Burke & Johns. And here comes W. W. Wicks again with another carload of dry goods. Wonder what he did with the iinmeuse quantity he got only about three weeks ago. Married, on Monday morning, April 18th, in the M.E. church, by Rev. Webb, Mr. Garnett Swift, of Danville, N. Y., to Miss Fannie Spicer oi Bloomington, Ind. The legislature, after a one hundred days's session, adjourued without passing the specific appropriation bill and the bill to regulate fees and salaries. Both measures failed in the Senate. Mrs. Michael Hackett of Bedford, came to Bloomington lastSat-
ioo ! nrday, and on Faster Sunday unit
ed with the Catholic Church. Mrs. Hackett, who previous to her mar
riage was a Miss Parks, has been a member of the Baptist Church. John McCalla took train for Chicago Monday, and will purchase a large stock of dress goods, trimmings, etc., for the ladies. As he goes, a little late, he will get all the newest novelties that those who bought earlier could not secure, The Trustees of the M. E. Church do uot intend to be imposed upon hereafter by an ill-behaved rabble at church weddings, many of whom climb over the seats, and spit their filthy tobacco juice on the carpets. They will, very properly, require that those who come shall exhibit their invitations to the doorkeeper. Nearly all of the circus companies worth seeing have been consolidated. As many as thirty tent shows formerly traveled. This season three enormous 1 enterprises : Barnum's, Coup's, and Forepaugh's are sweeping all before them, and only six of the small concerns survive. The daily expense account of these big shows is so great that they cannot' afford to visit small towns like Gosport, Bedford and Nashville. The Greencastle Republican, which was started nineteen weeks ago, succeeded, as is usually the case, in arraying two wings of the Republican party against each other, Last Saturday, in the interest of harmony, and having at heart the peace and prosperity of the party in Putnam county, the publisher, Mr. Naugle, suspended the paper. There
are always enough prominent men

member of the senior class of Asbury Uni-jin each political party of a OOUnty
to lead a score or inaepenaeiu organizations (so these individuals believe) and where there is a bare ma
jority by the hardest work and clos-
versity, and a membor of the Delta Kappa

Gents' Button Shoes can be found at Perdue's than is usually offered
by dealers. I solicit an examination by buyers. : C. R. Perdue. A gentleman on his way to Ladoga from Florida, arrived in this place last Thursday night, on the accommodation train, and appeared on the streets Friday morning in a straw hat, a suit of thin clothes, and a face browned by exposure to the rays of a southern sun. When the "blizzard" came up he hurried to the Bee Hive and bought a pair of rubbers and an overcoat, telling the clerks that when he left Florida the corn was waving in the breeze, peaches as large as a marble, and here he had run into a midwinter storm.

est canvassing, the victory is fre
quently thrown away through the enmity engendered by the wrangling of -rival sheets and the bitterness of the factions they each represent. This result could not follow, however, in a county, where each party has an overwhelming (?) majority, like Monroe. A London paper says : "The latest fashionable idiocy in England is what is known as the 'baby stare.' It is affected by young ladies, and consists in opening the eyes as widely as possible without raising the brows, and slightly turning the corners of the mouth upward. The necessary position of the mouth is obtained by many repetitions of tbo word mouse.' " The vicar of a village near Gravesend, England, who is somewhat unpopular with some of his
parishioners, made certain remarks
in a recent sermon at which a lady
smiled scornfully, The vicar walked down from his rostrum to the pew
where the lady, was seated, and, hdvhig given her a good shakltig:

People are daily punished for
violating laws of which they are entirely ignorant. Would it not
be well and ought it not to be demanded 07 the people that the leg
islature should provide that at least two papers in every county should publish the new laws in full ? This passing laws without giving people
an opportunity of knowing them is about as bad as Gessler's action, who enacted a law, wrote it out, hut hung it up so high on a pole that no one could read it, and then punished people for not observing it. This ignorance of the law re
sults in giving fees to certain offic
ers, hence they oppose paying newspapers for publishing such information. The Democrats of Indianapolis have nominated Prof, Smart for Mayor. It has become fashionable to
send to Indianapolis and Cincin
nati for wedding cards, and because
they are engraved, the parties or
dering them are compelled to pay
from $12 to $20. Just as good and
serviceable cards can be had at any
of the Bloomington offices for half the money, and the amount thus
saved would go far toward keeping
peace in the family after a while
when the better half demands a new
spring bonnet. Those people who
delight in boasting ot their purchases in Cincinnati aud Louisville
will continue to pay two prices.
One of the colored brethren
leaned on an empty lard barrel at Miller's grocery corner, last Satur
day, and the sunshine seemed to Eut notions of garden-making into is head, as he softly sang to the tune of "Auld Lang Syne" :
Do gentle bpring am almost hero De sun am gittin high, De snow am gently slidin' out, De ice begins to thaw.

A man in New Jersey tried to kick his wife and fell and broke his leg. That was better than the whipping post. Even Asia has not escaped an exceptionally -severe winter. In Japan thero have been snow storms the like of which are not remembered to have occurred in forty years. The snow is ten foot deep in the fields and fifteen feet on the hills. A Vermont clergyman makes the future of good Christians clear by saying : " After crossing the mystic river, we shall go on from the man to the augel, from the angel to the archangel, from the archangel to the celestial, from the celestial to the divine, aud then, gathering the stars in clusters about our heads, dream out the endless dream of eternity -The circus manager who advertised for the handsomest woman in the United States has chosen from among the applicants Louise Montague. She was a singer in variety shows, a beauty of the bru
nette type, and a favorite of the
'
Bowery youths. She will represent Lalla Bookh in a street pageant. Shoulder capes will be mo're than ever in favor this year. At a recent wedding in this city ..the
bridesmaids wore short dresses of
white Surah silk, with Mignon capes made wholly of white Marabout feathers, whiti fans of the same, spangled with gold, and large Sir Joshua Reynolds hats of white plush, with . long white plumes wreathed around the crowns. A toilet which will be very popular with American belles this summer is a style of dress' which has been exceedingly favored by Worth in his most elegant ami costly creations. This costume is a reproduction of the robe worn bv the Empress Josephine at thti fctfronation of Napoleon I. It consists of a princess train, with the sharply pointed corsage, cut low and and square in the neck. The sleeves are close fitting to the elbow, where
they terminate in broad frills of
lace. The square opening' of the
corsasre is flushed with a puff of
net, worked with pearls, and gold and silver threads, ristug very high behind and sloping gradually to a point at either side of the bust A surging crowd filled Shoemaker's drug store room last week, in search of Wall Papers.
