eating house south of Greeves' pro

vision store, has removed to Danville, Ills. 'Two hand organs and a blind fiddler tortured the citizens and

added fuel to the already heated at

mosphere of Bloomington last week. Mrs. Geo. W. Friedley of Bedford, and her sister, Miss Kelly, took in the St. Paul excursion on Wednesday last. As usual, Bloomington contributed a cumber of persons to the Qnincy old settlers' excursion last Thursday. The wogon makers and.black-

sroiths have all the work they can

possibly mnnage. Wagons are failing to pieces very few wheels can go through the hot dust without loosening the tire. Ttyis dry weather would be a favorable time to dig the public wells deeper. A well dug deep

enough to afford a good supply of

water now, could not be exhausted

in the summer as is usually the case

with the wells as now sunk. Too much care cannot be exer

cised to prevent buildings, fences and other property from taking fire. In the present siate of the water

supply it is terrible to contemplate !

the consequences of a fire in Bloom

ington.

On Thursday next, August 18th, the Kogers family will hold its annual reunion at the usual

place, Aquilla W . Rogers' grove, j

east of town. All the relatives are invited and expected to be present,

and a general good lime is antici

pated .

From some unknown cause many of tbe apple trees in Bloom

ington have died this summer. It is conjectured by some that the severe weather of last winter killed them as well as tbe peach trees.

.Some farmers in this county have

lost about half of the trees in their orchards. Aggravated cases of cholera morbus are now prevalent. If the following mixture does not stop this troublesome disease we will give the unlucky patient a year's subscription to the Progress : one oz. each of tinctures of comphor, capsicum, rhubarb, laudanum, and essence of peppermint; shake well and give from 5 to 30 drops in two table spoonfuls of sweetened water each hour nntil relieved. It never fails. A copy of John R. East's Blade, published during the late campaign, was accidentally found lust week, and in looking over its columns, one cannot but wonder that East was not assassinated or prosecuted for his broad attacks upon fighting Democrats of this county. There is but one explanation John's 6 feet 4 inches and 200 lbs. was always taken into consideration before the fight begun, and as a result the fight did not begin. DR.

It is said that, the paw paw crop will be large this fall, Wheat is still bounding upward, keeping company with corn. College, Fall Term, will begin Thursday, September 1st. Thermometers reached 106 in the shade last Fridf.y. How is that for a cold country. A destructive fire is reported in the woods in Marion township, near the Farr settlement. Mrs. J. F. FJe and daughter,

and Miss Minnie Harbison, of

Greencastle, are v siting friends in Bloomington and vicinity.

Did you ever notice how rapidly persons drive when the dust is deep they want :o raise a cloud, it seems.

A bulletin board at the depot, upon which the time of trains might be chalked, woul l be inexpensive, and a convenience to the traveling public. Miss Emma Baxter will have charge of Miss McDerniott's room (No. 1.) in the graded school, and Miss Strader will take No. 7. Remember that Circuit Court and Commissioner's Court will begin their sessions on the 5th of September. Bollenbacbei & Sons bought a strip of ground of Pat Connely, one day last week, paying therefor $800. It was bought au a point at which to buy and receive spokes. Billiard players can walk around a table all day now at the National Hotel, poking ivory balls with a pointed stick. Looks silly, but a great many persons indulge in such nonsense. The New York World's commercial report shows that more business was done during the month of July, thau at any time since the panic. A law department has been added to Asbury University. C. C. Matsoo, S. C. Moore and Jonathan Birch will be tie instructors. Six weeks ago last Saturday, President Garfield was shot in the Potomac railroid depot. He has

bpen undergoing torture ever since, while the worthless scoundrel who

inflicted the wound on the Presidents having a nice, cool, quiet time. Wra. H. Collier, the Indianapolis street car driver who killed the two Carney boys, has been released, the grand jury having failed (o find a bill against him. The killing was evidently done in selfdefense. Says tbe New Albany Ledger : "Delia Stimpson and Win. Sliuipson were married Feb.27,1871, and she charges that Wiiliam immediately took to strong drink, and on the 9th of May last abandoned her, after refusing to provide during two years." The parties formerly resided in Bloomington. The latest fashion in stockings is to have one red aud the other black. It is believed that a couple of Parisian women, after a spree, got their garments mixed, aud the Americans, who go to Paris for all their fashions, adopted this muddle. Alternate bang of red and black hair will be the next sensation. -On Wednesday last Rev. W. P. McNary, W. J. Allen and wife, and Mrs. W. A. Gabe, left Bloomington for St. Paul, Minnesota. Mr. Allen and wife will visit friends

in Man ka to; Mr. McNary and Mrs. Gabe will visit friends in Minneapolis.

Many a woman dusts billiard chalk off her husband's coat, and big tears stand in her eyes as she thinks bow late he works nights at bis desk by the whitewashed wall. There i3 an entire failure of mast this year in this part of the State, and farmers say that this lack of mast and the short corn crop

will greatly reduce the bog crop and largely enhance prices. A gentleman who has just returned from a trip through the White river country, says that in the bottom lands along tbe streams the com looks well, but on the uplands it is as brown and dry as in the latter part of September in good seasons. Late potatoes in this part of the Stale are a failure. Many fields will not bo worth digging. Late cabbage, which is nn important and valuable crop in Southern Indiana, is literally burned up. Vegetables of all kinds havo suffered greatly, even sweet potatoes, which aland the drouth well, being reported badly injured. As a result all kinds of marketing has gone up to higher prices than at auy time in the past twelve years, The pastures are dried up, nnd many farmers are cutting their corn and feeding it as fodder to their stock.

It was quite terrifying, because so uncommon an occurrence, but it did not lay the dust. Three comets are now visible in tbe northern skies to those who gaze at them through powerful telescopes. Three boys were arrested by the Marshal, last Thursday evening, for jumping on and riding on the cars. They were put in jail to cool off over night. Dr. Weir, in company with his brother, has arrived in Grand Haven, fueling no worse for his trip, though he was compelled to change cars five times on the route. A Lawrence county watermel

Patrick McGarry (better know as Mike) died in Bloomington, on Wednesday last, of enlargement of the liver. McGarry had been an employe in Waldron's Tannery for a number of years and was an intelligent and agreeable gentleman.

Mi Iton, only son of Mrs. Jennie McPhetridge, died of consumption on Monday night a week, at the home of his mother in this place, after a protracted illness. Last fall he was taken to Florida by his mother, who has spared neither pains nor expense to alleviate his sufferings, but his winter's sojourn iu that State seemed to result in no visible improvement of bis

health, bince his return to Indiana this spring he has been growing gradually weaker each day. Tbe funeral services were conducted bv Rev. J. W. Webb.

Persons who have been giving

the matter some attention state that any day from 6lh st. to Labertew's on North College Avenue, there may be found at home tuenty-thr ,.j widows. Looks like it must be an unhealthy locality for tho men. Several persons living north of town have again been calling attention to the Labertew hill, and are insisting that it

ought to be thrown up and graded before

the bad weather makes it' impassable again. Tbe worst part of this hill, (which ia muddy weather is so difficult to haul over that many prefer to go to Martins

ville) is inside the city limits. W do not want to or ought not to permit trade to

be driven away from Bloomington.

During the past ten days it has been impossible for farmers to get water to drin k, and water for horses was entirely

out of the question. Why not sink an artesian well in tho court house yard then, flowing at all seasons of the year, it could be carried in pipes' to troughs at eaah sido

of the square for stock. Who has nervej

enough to indorse and work for it ? When the owner of a lot has built a sidewalk on its bonier, it is questionable if he should keep it in repair, or if it should be repaired at public cost. The law will probably require the owner of the lot to keep the sidewalk in repair, as well as build it in the iirst place, hut in both of these requirements it is un

just. Sidewalks are for public use,

and benefit the owner of the lot no more than other individuals, hence the public, not the owner of the lot, should build the walk, the lot owner of coarse contributing his share of tax. Trafalgar, Johnson co., was almost destroyed by fire, last week. The loss in money alone is $50,00). The inju.
