Myron Reed will lecture in Walnut Street Presbyterian Church, Hiram Eslihger, "an inhabitant of Sullivan county," as his application reals, gives notice in the Courier.that he will apply at the March Term for license to sell liquor in the room now occupied by Stockwell, Jas. B. Clark was the first man in Bloomington township to register his dog ; I. Worrall came next. Adams will give this important matter prompt attention. After April 1st a constable can make big wages killing dogs in Bloomington. Dr. James Ward has removed to Georgetown, Brown co., and is giving his entire attention to the practice of medicine. Dr. Ward is an upright reliable business man, and while bis loss will be seriously felt here, the friends in Brown co. will be gainers. Dr. Ward is meetwith flattering success, and we can assure- the people in Brown that he is A No. 1 in every respect. We notice that the Democrats of Monroe county, iu convention assembled, have resolved in favor of economy and reform and one term only for county offices. It strikes us that something of that kind is needed in Morgan county. Mariinavifit GcutUe. That was two years ago, Mr. Gazette, and the Democracy of Monroe oounty would rather forget iti A newly married pair, of Bed

ford, on their wedding tour stopped at the National Hotel on Friday, and, being given a room, were escorted to the elevator. After viewing the interior of the little room in the elevator, the groom stepped out and asked the clerk if he took him for a greenhorn. The clerk replied in the negative. "Then

give me a room with a bed in it,"

replied the unsophisticated young man. . Matters were explained, and

Jhe elevator shot upward to the third story.

Gee Adkins, of Louisville, and Wm. Moore, of Omaha, arrived in town last week. Robert Greeves and wife wer in BloouifieM last week, in attendance upon the funeral of Matt. Lyons. Cal. Wagner's minstrels played to a paying house, last Wednesday night. The performance was not up to the standard. The rending matter in this week's Courier is set iu new pica type. Looks pretty large, but 'tis easy on weak eyes. The delinquent tax list is larger this year than it has been iu ten w e we

years, xnuian creeic, as usual, is the banner township,having but one

delinquent. John Buzzard has purchased the meat shop formerly owned by Phillips. He has made arrangements to run a milk wagon, and will deliver pure milk at a reasonable price. Wait for the wagon. Almost every week firms are changing, and very little is said about it. Under recent decisions of the supreme court the retiring partner can only get rid of his lia

bility by giviDg public notice of the dissolution of co-partnership. There is hardly a family in Monroe county that does not have some relative or friend in distant States, who would be pleased at the occasional receipt of a copy of the home paper. After reading the Progress, enclose it in a wrapper, place a one cent stamp on it, and direct to an r.bsent friend. Isaac Claman is to-day announced as a candidate for the office of County Treasurer. Mr. Claman enjoys ao extensive acquaintance in Monroe county, having been con

nected with the office of Treasurer

several times as collector, and iu which position he gave general satisfaction. Ike would make a close canvass as well as a successful one. All survivors of the Mexican War arc earnestly requested to attend the annual reunion at Indi

anapolis, on the 22d inst., in the

supreme court room. A ibar-load of Chicago bruisers

and gamblers passed south, Wed- j

To-night (Tuesday) Rev. Myron Reed will lecture in Walnut st. church. Parker Pearson has been very sick during the past two or three weeks. Pysieians say he has organic disease of the heart. Joseph Hubbard has sold his dwelling house on the corner of 4th and Lincoln sts, to John Ewing for (1,000.

Mrs. H. M. Lawrence, of

organized there. Miss Maria P. Brace, Elocu

her readings. Two public readings have already been given, and at

each an immense audience struggled

for seats in the large chapel of the University. Miss Brace, is mistress

of the art, dresses with great taste,

and her manners are pleasing and

calculated to impress her audience favorably. She is meeting with the most flattering success as a teacher.

it is stated. Clay Harbison of Richland fp

is announced in to-day's paper as a

candidate for County Treasurer,

Mr. Harbison is a farmer, and is

well and favorably known through

out the county. He was before the

convention several years ago, and

next to McKinney received the

highest number of votes cast. He would give general satisfaction in the office of County Treasurer. T. B. McCain, editor of the Crawfoidsville Journal, after serving eight years as postmaster of that city, has refused a reappointment ! This is the only instance of the kind on record in Indiana, or indeed in any other State. A general desire is felt to learn Mr. McCain's reasons for so extraordinary

a proceeding. He owes the people

an explanation, perhaps an apology, for setting so dangerous a precedent.

Casually stepping into the

Hoover & Dobson, on south College Avenue, last Thursday, the Progress reporter fouud the sparks flying from the anvils in the blacksmith shop and heard the sounds of industry in the woodshop.

One more has been added to the

long list ot suicides in Monroe co. Robert Houston, who for many years kept a small store and the post office, in Hindostan, Washington township, went to his barn on Saturday morning at about 9 o'clock, and tying a noose in a pair of buggy lines, fastened the other end to a beam overhead ; throwing

the noose over his head, he then swung off from a driveway in the middle of the ham, and was found there by some members of his family, cold in death. He had been very despondent for several months, and on Tuesday of last week made an attempt to hang himself. Deceased had becu married four times. He was a prominent Democratic local politioia n, and had a general acquaiutan cc iu the couniy.

of difference in the weather whether he saw it or not.

If tho Democratic County Con

vention were to be held to-day, it is probable that the following ticket

would be nominated :

Clerk George B. Moore ot Rich

Recorder-Elijah Knight of Wash

Bill Frey, who received $1200

of back pension last week, took

train for Little Rock, Ark., Wednesday evening last. He got his money in gold, and placing it in a

shot bag, felt quite wealthy more so than he is now, perhaps. He took witk him to Arkansas four

prominent and well known citizens, viz: John Wade Chandler, Jim Clem, Henry Frey and Jim Mnyfiekj. The railroad fare and expenses are being paid by Bill Frey. Eaton Lodge, No. 99, Knights of Pythias; was instituted in Spencer, on Wednesday nigbt. Bloomington sent Ben. B. Smith, George Campbell, Wall. Hight, jr., John W. Shoemaker, Jas. Hooper, John Riley, jr., Henry Holtzman and Harmon Fedder. Harrodsburg sent L. T, Lowder, James Lowder, L. R. Smallwood and G.W. Smith. There were about 25 Knights of Pythias present from Martinsville. The Lodge at Spencer starts with

and driving away at a rapid rate to get a sufficient number of wagons and buggies ready to meet the requirements of their customers. Immense quantities of partly completed wheels,wagon tongues, bolsters,etc.,were piled up wherever room could be found, and two woodworkmen were busy. It is very provoking to have orders that can not be filled, and hereafter Hoover & Dobson propose to be prepared for all demands that may be made upon them. The swindler is again on his rounds, taking in unsuspecting farmers. This is the modus operaudi:

An individual representing himself

as a stock buyer, makes a purchase of cattle or bogs from a farmer,

j aud pays the farmer a small amount,

say $10, to bind tue bargain, taking the farmer's receipt for the same. This receipt turns out to be a negotiable note for a sum of $100 or above. A Brown county correspondent of the Indiauapolis Sentinel favors John W. Buskirk of this place for; Supreme Judge. The court would be in far better repute to-day if Mr. Buskirk was filling the seat now held' by some Democratic member. Buskirk is a thorough lawyer, aud a man whose judgment could be relied on. So far as he is concerned, we believe

the practice of reversing cases on trifling technicalities would receive no favor. As these thiugs are done now, a case may be appealed in which two or three vital points are involved, the decision of any one of which would settle that particular case, and perhaps scores or other cases. Yet, when it comes up for decision it is reversed on a cross bill, or some little matter of practice, aud must be taken back aud trid again. Up goes the case a second time, and it is again reversed on a technicality no vital point iu the case decided and this may go on indefinitely. People who

result all the old conductors are tak

ing a rest. J. S. Mills, who has been acting as traveling agent for several years, is one of the newly appointed conductors. Mills will be popular with the traveling public. Rev. John Bower preached for the Baptist congregation of Spencer, last Sunday. Miss Lide Tarkington, well known here, is now a saleswomen in one of the leading dry goods stores of Denver, Colorado. Mrs. Malachi Mullen was refused admission to the asylum for the insane, it having been shown that she ha3 been iusane at times for ten or twelve years. She was thought to be dying, one day last week. Ben. Dunn is an unlucky man ; after suffering several weeks with

his regular annual installment of

boils, on Tuesday of last week he slipped, on the icy pavement aud sprained his right ankle so severely that he is now walking on crutches. Ben. MeGee, sr., the merchant tailor has not sufficiently recovered from the effects of a fall on the stairway several weeks ago to come down to his store. He hobbles

about on a crutch, however, in his room over the store and attend to

some of the cutting which his customers insist that he shall do. Wm. M. Tate has secured the

Agency of Monroe county for the great preservative: "Ooqe," and advertises it in to-day's paper. The article does all it is claimed it will do, as has been proven. It is harmless, effective aud cheap. Call on Mr. Tate for further particulars. A man named Koous, who hauls spokes from Indian Creek

township, is reported to have lost his team of four horses through starvation this winter. Some twelve or fifteen horses have died in Polk township this winter froin the sann cause.

There were 116 nevf cases of!

small pox in Cincinnati last week. Mart. Alexander announce?, in another column, his candidacy for County Auditor; A pretty good idea of what people think of Mart, may be gathered from the remarks of Judge Wilson, made at the time he retired from the office ef Sheriff : 1 think it is a fit tribute to a re

tiring officer, more or less connect

ed with the courts lor a very considerable length of time, an the expiration of his official connection with it. I have known Mr. Alexander quite a number of years, both

while practicing law here, and since

1 came upon the beach meeting him in the capaoify ef Sheriff. As

has been aajdi it is a very difficult office to fill with saliufactian. He

stands as one man between conflicting interests and clashing all the time. There is not a day cf life here that he does not stand between contending, hostile hearts and busy

brains, holding in his hinds a vast newer for mischief, I coa't believe

I have known a man serving a people so long,lhat has come up so uniformly well as he, and who bts encountered so little criticism. There have been some bitter and exciting contests in this court. In more than one of these excttiug periods I have observed him closely. Oa aH these occasions I don't remember to have heard a single man accuse him of partiality or of an abuse of his immense power. This is siometbing he has a right to be proud of that there has not been a single hostile feeling manifested toward him; and his impartiality has not been chal

lenged. Another duty, outside of

serving process of court, and the paying over of moneys, his duty as a ministerial officer in the court room, in the maintenance of proper order. A great taany ShoriQs usu

ally create more d'ta-order than that

which they seek to put down. Judge Wilson here gave several happy illustrations which had fall

en under his observation, of the pe

culiarity successful and quiet methods practiced by Capt. Alexander., when he continued : I think Mr. Alexander made a model officer a model Sheriff. I have thought so at tcmeti when I had more interest in his'doiug his

And 1 have

thought at such times, :is I now

think, that such a man, doing duty as he did duty, was worth more than any other Sheriff.! ever knew. I am well sitistied that his successor (Major Grimes) will do his duty thoroughly and well. He will have to do so very well, to Come up to the high standard of his predecessor. 1 hope he will take him as an examplar for honesty, promptness,

fidelity, and a straight forward dia charge of. duty, regardless of eon-

sequences. The resolutions will, of

course, be spread ot record.
