years has been teaching in Edinbnrg, Ind., has been elected to a position in the public schools of Chatanooga, Tenn, James Mason, formerly in the drnjr trade in Bloomington, is now running a stave backer near Nashville, Brown county. George Sluss, Esq., accompanied by George Parks and wife, left Bloomington on Wednesday morning last, lor Marshall's Ferry, Ills., where Thomas J. Peterson, (who as well as Parks, is a son-in-law of Mr. Sluss) resides. The party go across the country in a carriage and expect to remain away about two weeks. Persons who have notes which they desire collected, or mortgages which they desire to foreclose, must not forget thst the next term of circuit court will begin on the first Monday of September. The time is rapidly rolling around, and an attorney should be consulted at once they are plentiful in Bloomington, and as good ets are to be found anywhere. A number of street improve
ments are going on in Bloomington at present, and many more
ought to be inaugurated. The city council, however, has its hands full at present in looking after the work
already being done. Sixth street,
trora CoJleee Avenue west, ought
to be graded and McAdamized to
or west of Jos. Cron's residence the sooner tbe better for all concerned. The west end of Sixth st. ought also to be widened, in accordance with an order passed by
the city ixtunctl last spring.
J. E. Johnson, formerly of this

two ago, after an absence of six
years, having left here at the age of 18. He first went to Texas and
herded sheep,then to Florida,where be shipped on board a man-of-war,
remaining seven months ; then sailed for England, whence he shipped
in various vessels, visiting all the important seaports of Europe. He, together with fourteen other sailors, left the vessel at an Australian port
and visited the interior, penetrat
ing districts of country seldom vis
ited by men. He has gathered an extensive and interesting collection of curiosities.
Dr. Martin, Prest. of Ashury
University, is a delegate to the M.
E. Ecumenical Council, that is to
meet in London, Eng., on the 7 th

W. J. Uefauw of JNew Albany.
The council will be composed of delegates from Methodist societies in all countries, and will really be A w.'Vl.l.J'a MMiinnll fkrt nf i.

interesting and important. The delegates were to sail from New York last Saturday.
There are scores of "men in Bloomington who spend 25c. per
day for cigars and tobacco, enough
to keep up three shares in the building association. It in this class of persona who are constantly grumbling about the "pore" man having so hard a time. The men who accumulate money do so by cutting off needless expenses, and saving in this way from one to three dollars each week,until in three or five years they have enough money to buy comfortable homes or to invest in business. Any sober, healthy mechanic or laborer, can own his home if he will determine to do so, but it requires careful economy, the exercise of which is usually distasteful to the average American . With but few exceptions, the rich men of the country have laid the foundations of their fortunes with small beginnings. Property can be bought cheaper now than in six months from this time, and every man ought to own his home. DR. MOTT'S CHOLERA SPECIFIC will cuuk any case of Cholera Morbus

Bedford, Ind., have been awarded the contract for erecting the New Orleans Cotton Exchange building. It will be one of the finest struct

to contain some of the most elegant carved stone that can be procured, at a cost of upwards of 220,000. The stone will be taken from the quarries nt Bedford, and a great deal of the carving will be done there. This is the firm that was anxious to buy the Dillon quarry in Bloomington. See what we have lost. W. W. Wicks went down to Bedford last Wednesday, and

The McGee-Worley trade fell through after Mr. McGee had moved his furniture. Worley wanted
McGce to assume the payment of
$60 as a part ot the cost ot changing a loan from one building association to the other, but Mr. McGee said he had agreed to pay $1,200 for tbe property and no more. So the trade is " off. " A number of Knights of Pythias came down from Martinsville in buggies last Friday evening to initiate the brethren here in the Oriental degree a degree our fellows were not posted in. When you see a man pull his left ear with his right hand and scratch at his pocket-book with his left forefinger, you may imagine he has taken the "Oriental."
The wife of Prof.JohnWilson, Prof, of Greek in Monmouth College, Illinois, is visiting relations here. Prof. W. is a son of the late Archibald Wilson, and Mrs. W. is a daughter of Mrs. Mary Cathcart, of this place. It is impossible to rent a desirable dwelling house in Bloomington, at present all are occupied. Some man of ijood judgment could get a bargain in the liutler house, the new brick just north of the Progress block. Three or four building association thared would carry it nicely. Inquire of Z.T.Coffln. Hon. Jits. Hinton (colored) of Indianapolis, while in Bloomington last Thursday, favored tbe Progress office with a call. Mr. Hinton was a former canal commissioner, and is at present one of the Representatives for Marion county. To-day tickets are put on sale for the excursion to St. Paul, Minn., at the low rate of $15 for the round trip, tickets good till Sept. 3d. A good many persons will avail themselves of this opportunity to visit friends and relatives in various portions of Minnesota and the Northwest. Frank Landers and family were in Bloomington last week. Landers is a thorough business man, and when he drops politics goes to making money as if he had never suffered defeat.

Bloomington anil Indianapolis have suffered severely from the drouth, but are to be congraulated that no base ball club is howling on the commons of either city. Some of the Normal scholars went to the Stone spring last Friday, never stopping to consider that
a wicked dance transpired there quite recently. Very few of the persons who went ou the Sugar Grove campmeeting excursion, took steamer for the camp grounds. Tbey preferred the Woodland garden, or the sights of Green street. Faulkner has bought Oc, Soulier's billiard tables. They will be set up in the National Hotel for the present, and will be taken to Indian Springs, next season. Saturday night three "girls," with their male companions, were arrested for street walking. The men put up bail, aud their female companions went down to Major Grimes' restaurant and tested his patent feather beds. Ab. Ketcham lost five stacks

The President's condition hos steadily improved during the pal week, aud gi'iifral confidence in his recovery han taken the place "f the depnion and nnx-ii-ty caused by the alarming rp,-r:s ax to his symptom, cpread abroad at tl o liino ho began to suf)'r from chills. The exact portion of tho hall litis bison vitrified by the aid of an ingenious dectro-tel .'phonic machine, invented by Profcwnr Bell. The ball is in the wall of the abdomen, a short distance from the surface, so that it will only require a simple operation to remove it hereafter. Thii President s pulse contin
ues hiirh. but there are no svmp'.oms of
l ya'inia, nor of malaria, though the aluiugphere of the While House i in so bad a condition that seven ciues of the latter disease have nlready been reported. It is now thought that no can I n removed in perhaps two or three weeks. The newspaper attacks on tbe physicians, for thnir reticence with regard to the condition of the President, havo died out. The latter can hardly be expected to satisfy ov-jrybody, and it" they succeed in curing their piticnt tlio question whether they ought to have talked a little less at one time to one set of interviewers, or a little more at another time to another set, will become comparatively iiiiiinpoilanl. Bedford, Mitchell, Gosportand Spencer had fine rains last week ; Bloomington being located on a ridge, a considerable distance from the river and creeks, has had none

P.ocki.asd, Mb., July 25th, 1881. Editor Protret Dear Sin: People generally aro much mure interested in nil that pertains to now and undeveloped countries than in eld places where no wonderful discoveries aro to be
expected, and generation after generation pursues tho " uneventful round of years, " but for all that I think there is much here that will prove, entertaining as well as instructing to the western man, hose habits, thought! and dialect are so different from thoso who dwell upon tbo coast " the toilers of the sea. " When I loft Bloomington the mercury had reached 07 in the simdo. The hot wave seemed to follow mo until within two miles of Portlurd, where the grateful seabreeze cane floating into the cat" window, and under its cxhiliarating influence, all the fatigue of a long journey toon vanished. Since that I have had frequent occasions to wear an overcoat and mittens, and havo Miff. 'red a little with cold feet, but bave never been too wirra havo never wilted a shirt collar. I ought to explain that this l as been an unusually cool summer for this climate, uud also that one has but very little use for an overcoat except when on the sea. Next wtek will wind up the strawberry season, anil, this mornins; for b"eakftst I had the tin t raspoerries that have ripened in the ga;den. All the small fruits are tine and hi'ge and have a delicious flavor. I dare not. tell you how largo Ihe strawberries are, or how many can bo grown to tho square foot, for fear you may think I am drawing the long bow, but will simply slate that on one occasion, at dinner, I saw a gentleman slicing them as we do tomatoes. I j effort is made to raiso large corn cropfi, and what we call the flint or Canada com is the kind usually planted. It gro'3 I'ant and ripens oarly, but roast' in ears arc as yet a thing of tlio future. The Colorado beetle is here ia all his glory. He looks as fat and sle-sk as ever and'may pousibly be picpuring for a little sea voyage :o Europe. At ail events ho has reached the jumping off place of Ibis continent and will undoubtedly sigh for other worlds to conqueT. It is safe to predict tiu,t before many yoara ail the harbors on the count of Maine will become summer resorts for those who have time, means and inclinaticn for a vacation during tho heated term. All the available points on the shores of this bay aro dotted with tents and cottages. They are usually in groups and are designated as tamps. In this camp life tkore is none of the aristocratic or swell sty'o of Newport or Long Hranch and it is to be hoped thore never vyill be. Yachts and small pleasure boats fairly swarm tfcesc waters. Many of them are marvels of beauty. Steam yachts, are passing overy day en route to !vtt. Desert, sometimes they anchor in this harbor and remain several days. Yachts that depend on the wind for motivs power carry perfect clouds of canvas. The er ws arc all neatly dressed in something like (he man of war style. The inside finish is as fine as that of a palace car often of rosn-wood and mahogany and furnishn I with the best and costliest furniture. That tlio larder is woll stocked with evci ything the land and sea can furnish you may well imagine. Tbo prohibitory la w does not reach these rangers of tl:c juminer seas; and speaking of that, whenever ycu go on an excursion, cither by land or sea, you will hardly o.-cape an invitaticn from some old hospitable sea-captain to take n drop of old Scotch whfokoy to ieep you from taking cold. It is bard weai.mg these old salts, but no doubt tho rising generation will abide by the law. Excursions and pic-nics aro nf daily occurrence, but for one who naturally shuns a crowd there is more solid comfort in rowing, tailing and fishing along thenhorc, with one or-two friends. I don't liko to say much about tho fishing for fear of the effect upon some of your readers, who are friends of mino. I havo caught codfish, haddock, hake, pollock, mackerel, lobsters, eels, flotindis, skate nnd sculpions. My last ox-'.clt in that lino was going with" my "urother-in-law Inst Saturday morning and catching between two and Hire, hundred mackerel before breakfast, i'o bo more explicit, wo started at 4 oVieok and landed at half past six. A'. tno present writing there ars still P'e;.iiy of mackerel in the bay, but they will soon wo-k their way farther east. There is a warm feeling of isympaCy for the President shown by M grades ot people here, and prayers for his recovery aro offered up orery sabbath at the churches. Tho Progress roaches me regularly and is greeted as an old friend. U. K. P.
