Miss Essie Cleaver, of Lebanon,Ky,, is visiting her cousin, in this place, Felix C. Dunn, Esq. The country never looked lovelier than now. The wheat and grass crops are splendid and corn is coming forward rapidly. David Alien, whose farm lies west of Ellettsville, had three selfbinders running at one time on his place, last week. Mrs. Ida McMillan, nee Woodburn,, wife of the Superintendent of Xcnia, O., public schools, is visiting her mother iu this city. Miss Ida Howe will teach music in the public schools next session. Miss Lillie Adams has been elected to teach No. 5. On last Thursday the first new wheat ot the season was ground by Milton Hight, in his grist mill on the railroad. Conundrum for tbe editor of the Progress : How long docs a man have to live in Monroe county before ho becomes a citizen. Courier. Well, he ought to have the Brown county mud pretty well dried on his boots, at least, before demanding a Monroe county office. John F. May is repairing, repainting and beautifying the old Seward house so much, that one would hardly recognize it as the same building. The stores were closed on the
4th and all manner of business was suspended. Tbe people who re
mained in town stood around and
stared at each other, seeming to
wonder what it all meant. Samuel Moore brought to town on the 4tb, several heads of White
Russian Oats, raised on his farm,
west of town, which measured 18 inches in length. It is impossible to guess how many bushels of oats might be raised to the acre, of this variety. David Allen, whose farm lies
on the Spencer road, west of Ellettsville, had 320 acres in wheat,
which has been contracted at one
dollar per bushel, to be delivered
at Gosport in August. Mr. Allen thinks that 5,000 bushels would be
a low estimate of his crop.
Rev. Mr. Burkhardt, of Wash
ington, Daviess co., was in town
last week. Father B. preached for
the Catholic congregation of this place several years, and we know him to be a popular and useful man.
He is a thorough gentleman, re
spected alike by Protestants and
Catholics.
Mr. Nat. U. Hill is having
the plans and specifications prepar
ed for a residence, which will be
constructed on the lots recently
purchased of Ira Browning for $3,200. The building wilt have all the modern improvements, will contain seventeen rooms, and the cost will be about 7,000.
The M. E. Sunday School, or
a portion of it, went to the Aaron
Gordon grove on the 4th, to in
dulge in a pic nic Several brush fires were burlt, and those of the participants who could not get near the smoke, shivered with cold. It was one of those days that Vennor had promised, and we could imagine the old fellow gleefully rubbing his hands. Settle your account at once with the "Boss" c-lothing house, as the prtnership business must be closed. The La France, a very handsome steam engine, gave exhibition
trials oa the square last week. We
believe it does as good work as an
engine of the size could. But the
Progress still insists that two engines like the smallest of the pair the city pow owns, would be suffic
ient for all purposes, if they were kept in order. If one-fifth the at
tention had been given to the hand engiues that apy steam engine will
require, they would have done good
work at the last fire. The loss by
fire in Blootniugton does not aggrer
gate 1,000 in five years. It will
cost about $4,0Q0 to purchase and fit up a steam engine, while the cost of keeping it i order- wilj be ?rJ209 Jer SUM"1"? t Jeas. .
STOP at Dunn & Co.'s and get a drink of lee Water. -The contract for building an arched stone bridge over the branch on west 6th street,will he given out on the evening of the 17th. Jos. D. Urmey, of Harrodsburg, has sold two threshers this season. Such crops as we have this year induce many farmers to invest in agricultural machinery. Thermometer dropped to 58" on the morning of Ihc 4th. The change from D2 in the shade was so marked as to knock the enthusiasm out of the pic nic parties. A great many Bloom ington people went to Indianapolis last week, to wituess ihc military display. American Eagle day, as a result, was very quiet in this city. There is no truth in the story that Wall. Hight raised so much wheat on twenty acres that he had to stack part of it in another field. It was one of his neighbors. John F. May owns a plug ha t that he wore thirty-seven years ago. The hat is in a high state of preservation (it is a high hat) and could be made as good as new by a dextrous hat manipulater. Sol. Tannenbaum, on Monday of last week, sold his interest in the "Boss" clothing house to his partner, Mose Kahn. Mose is so well and favorably known that he needs no introduction to the people. Grifly & Co. have been putting a new roof on the Progress Block, With the hope of getting a blood curdling item, the reporter
stared at Grifly by the hour,while he
was shingling that slippery looking hip, but he didn't fall. He is any
thing but accommodating ; this too,
when he knows that items are scarceSol. Meredith, a former wellknown student of Indiana University, who graduated in '67, died on Wednesday last in Cambridge City, of typhoid pneumonia. At the time
of his death he was a representative from Wayne county in the State
legislature and president of the State Board of Agriculture. Theodore Louden was attacked ou the afternoon of the 4th by a
cow, aud severely gored on the left,
thigh. He was in the alley near his father's residence with a dog, when his canine friend attacked Dr,
Crane's cow and calf. Tbe cow
lowered her head and made a dash for the dog, which took refuge at London's feet. The cow followed
the dog, one of her horns striking
London's left thigh and cutting a
deep and dangerous gash. He is
out on crutches.
Some nine miles southwest of
Bloomington, in Van Buren township, coal is found in abundance, and of as good quality as in any other locality of tho State. Twelve miles from Bloomington is the site
of the Old Iron Furnace, where
iron ore was smelted some 20 years
ago, but as there were no railroads to carry tho pig iron to market, the
proprietors could not compete with more favored localities, and the works were abandoned. In the vi
cinity of the Old Furnace kidney ore is found in inexhaustible quan
tities, and lying by its side are im
mense fields of the finest block coal
with which to smelt it. Shoals Herald: The Miss Luzadders, of Bloomington, have returned to their farm house for a
summer's rest and recreation.
Col. Fricdlcy has been appointed Register of the land office at Helena, M. T. Helena is said to be a beautiful aud growing city of 6,000 inhabitants. The immediate country is dotted with gold and silver mines, and the people are full of energy and vim. The position of Register is said to be worth about $7,000 per annum,apd would seem to be a very desirable one. We have not, as yet, learned what Col, Friedley intends to do in the premises. Bro. Feltus, chairman of the Democratic county central committee, narrowly csenped with his life on Monday. Ho had coma to the Progress oitioo to wit

Some persons mistook "the day wc celebrate" for Christmas, and resumed their flannels. -Gradually, now, tho days will grow shorter, and people will begia to wish again for summer. Miss Kate Mobley is visiting friends in Greensburg, having accompanied Miss Reed on her return home.
A good many sulky rakes are beinf? sold in this locality. It is a
good indication when farm machinery sells readily. John R. East is at home after a protracted trip through Northern Indiana, where he bas been speaking on tempcrauce to immense audiences. On Thursday last Mayor Dt'dds sold six steers to John Buzzard for $376. Looks like cattle raising ought to pay at $5.50 per hundred.

Miss Laura Henley, a teacher in the Huntington, Ittd., graded schools, is home for the vacation. Rev. Strong, of Garnet, Kansas, son-in-law of John Blair, is visiting relatives here. The brother that Dr. McPheeters went to "Lexington, Missouri, to see, died before the Doctor's arrival. He came home on Wednesday night last, accompanied by his sister, Miss Rebecca McPheeters. Some of the Democrats say that the idea of giving the Congressional race to a Nationa!,in this district, "is perfectly absurd." It wasn't so absurd when the Democrat!! of the Indianapolis district joined with the Nationals and succeeded in electing DeLamatyr. It was all right then, you sec. The residence of MathiasWen-
rick, living in the Morgan edge of j
Monroe county was entered by bur
glars Saturday a week, in the ab-
so me what weedy on many farms, but the time spent loafing in town on Saturdays, if applied to the corn fields, would soon put them iu good condition. Five car loads of stone have been ordered from the Dunn quarry by Chicago parties, and are now being loaded. The stone business wiill improve as soon as the wheat crop is estimated. George M. Chase, of Topeka, Kxneas, was in town this week, on his way to purchase goods for his boot and shoo hc-use. A daughter of illoomfield S. Chase accompanied him as far as Lafayette. The following with reference to Geo. Hunter's locomotive spark arrester, with which he has been experimenting during the past five years, we find in the Iudianapolis Journal of Saturday : Hunter's spark arrester, which" is being tested on the Vandalia, is working very satisfactorily. In a trip to Indianapolis, tbirty-six bushels of sparks were gathered into' tbe receiver. Mr. Hunter has overcome the most serious trouble with spark arresters, that of choking up. The M. E. Sunday school is made interesting by the addition of an orchestra to its fine vocal music. J. B. Allison, George Seward and Charles Maxwell are the musicians. It is all the rage now for the boys and girls to visit some of the limpid streams in this vicinity, don bathing units and splash around among the turtles and tadpoles. Tho sight is said to be the tooist ever seen in Southern Indiana. Owing to the fact that small farmers could not hire reapers when they needed them, the demand be ing so great, a large number of cradles were sold, and the wheat was saved in the old fashioned way. Several hundred persons bought tickets for Indianapolis during the past week. It was a faint reminder to us old soldiers of the
469th New Jersey, of the days of!
hard marching aud harder tack. It is said that u member of the committee of three that went to
j Mopmoulh to witness the working
of a steam fire engiue, rolled out of a sleeping berth on a Pullman car, and made such a jar as to check tho train.

At Dunn & Co's. The Democratic county candidates are taking fright early in the canvass. John McGee is setting up the cigars whenever he can find
any one inclined to smoke ; Dick Fulk is more persistent than in any former canvass In hugging the "boys" he meets, while Morgan is constantly oscillating between Harrodsburg and Bloomington. Next Fall Mr. Morgan will begin another term of school, McGee will continue to draw his $4 per day as school superintendent (he'll never hand it over to a brother Democrat), and Fulk will put in a crop bf oate en a farm he has bought in the southern portion of the cnmqty. Bye bye, boys ; clever fellows, but you can't reach far enough. -Mr. Eli Milieu, a prominent merchant of Xenia, O., is visiting
Mrs. Woodburu of this place. He is an uncle of Mrs. Woodburn, and a brother of William and James Mil len of this place. Mr. Milieu was a salesman in the store of Jas, If. Hemphill Mrs. Woodburu'& father) in 1834-'5, and perhaps will be remembered by some of the older citizens. The town of Bedford has no fire engine. Like. Bloomington,the fires that have occurred were rather .to the advantage of the town thatotherwise, as good buildings were promptly erected in the place of the less desirable ones destroyed. --Two mails are sent each day to Chicago, and two are received irom. tbe windy city. This is a g;reat advantage to Bloomington, but, the advantage to Chicago is al-so difficult to estimate. Robert H. Hunter, who, some twelve years ago was a well-known house-painter in Bloomington, removed to Topeka, Kansas. From
there it seems he removed to Las Vegas, New Mexico. Several weeks
ago, while on his way to his residence in company with Mrs. Hunter, one of the desperados for which that country is famous, rode by on his Mexican pony,and as he passed,
threw a lasso over Mr. Hunter's
head. As the loop fell around his body and arms between the shoulder and elbow the ruffian stuck spurs into the sides of his horse, starting him at a gallop. Mr. Hunter aud wife had been up town shopping, end had their arms full of bundles. The sudden pull on the rope jerked Mr. Hunter high iu the air and he was then dragged about one hundred yards. Some persons camo driving by in a hack and opened lire on tbe murderous cow-boy. Finding himself in danger he cue the rope with his bowie-knife, and the parties in the hack, hurried to the relief of Mr. Hunter. Hi whiskers were torn out, his faci mangled from being dragged over the stones, and for a while it was believed he could not survive his injuries. Latest advices, however, Ktate that he is rapidly convalesc
ing. The occurrence was read of
by hundreds of our citizens, but Uic thought perhaps never occurred

Tbe Democrats have nominated for State Senator one W. C. Duncan, of Nashville, Brown ' co., an out-spoken anti-submissionist. There are mauy Democrats in the district who favor submission, and they propose to place a candidate in the field. The probability is that John R. East will be the man nominated by the law and order people, in which case we will be compelled to speak of that gentleman as Senator East.

Col. Taylor having resigned his office of City Treasurer, preparatory to removing to Lafayette, the council have appointed H. H. Friedley to fill the vacancy. The Democrats of Marion co. on Saturday nominated Mr. Fred. Miner for Judge of the Superior Court, and Pierce Norton forjudge of the Criminal Court. Both gentlemen are graduates of Indiana University, and are rising attorney: and politicians of the Capital City. It will pay any one to take a walk over Bloomington and observe the improvements that are being made in every portion of the town. Houses are going up everywhere, and street improvements are the rule Another railroad would make Bloomington boom. The music teacher of the graded schools will be paid $225 per annum ; W. F.

-John McGee has been in close
