Cap. Fields has retired from the firm of Johnston & Fields, and the polite young bachelor, Frank Woolej, and the jolly widower, Andy Johnston, do the honors in that old-established grocery stand. Two thousand persous have been arrested in Moscow for plotting against the life of tbe Czar. If kept up at this rate there will soon be nobody to arrest but the Czar, and he needs a rest more than any one in his dominions. Bald ridge & Gourley have begun improvements on their grist mill buildings, Tbey contemplate some radical changes in time : it is their intention to build farther vest and add a story or two to the main edifice. They are well pleased with the outlook for business and feel confident that they will make a success of it, So mote it be. On Tuesday of last week, J . H. Garrison received the new brick moulding machine, and had it hauled to his yard south of the city. The capacity of this machine, with the power that will be ap-

jplied here, is 25,000 brick per day,

which is equal to the labor of five good moulders. The clay is sub

jected to a powerful pressure; also,

which drives out the moisture, and in consequence the bricks can be

dried rapidly and are soon rrady

for the furnace. With the moulding machine and patent furuace, Mr. Garrison is as well prepared

for the businecss as any man in Southern Indiana.

Bloomfield News: A man who

can carry off a paper each week,j

knowing that he never iutends to

pay for it, has cheek enough to get through the world without scorch

ing a feather of his conscience. In fact he would be perfectly safe in falling on his check from a fifth

story window. Don't you think so? or haven't vou thought?

On last Thursday, Henry El-

ler shipped to Indianapolis from

this place sixty-two head of fat

hogs of his own fattening. The

hogs averaged 252 lbs., and found

was paid, straight. They were the best hogs in the market, and sold five cents higher than any other car-load. Wm. H. Slocumb is at Bloomfield, engaged in selling agricultur

mer.

Wheat is worth 1.08 at New Albany, Charley Hall has taken service in Clark's grocery, and Waldo VansKindt is filling Hall's place in Hemp Wilson's grocery. Thermometers in this place, Tuesday morning of last week, pointed to 32 degrees, and even lower than that. Ice was formed, and winter clothing was again brought into requisition. Robert Grecvcs has been visiting, friends in Bloomfield. The contrast between Bloomington and neighboring towns, he says, in the matter of enterprise and thrift, is verv marked. "I believe you, mv boy." Jack Dowden has bought some 4000 bushels of wheat in Richland township, and it is being delivered at Elletsville, for shipment to Baltimore. Tho price paid was 99c. They should have held on for the other cent. M. Benekart (brother of Geo. Benckart of Bloomington) has leased the water privilege of the Blue Lick Springs of Kentucky, and is now sole agent at Lexington, for its sale. Geo. Benckart has made arrangements by .which he is to receive frequent and prompt shipments of this medicinal water. The Allen, McNary & Louden buildings have been let. Adams & Denton have scoured the brick work (they also have the brick work lor Redick Wylie's building), and II. J. Nichols has the contract for the carpenter work, plastering and lumber. Nathan Allen, a well-known colored gentleman of this city, was married, on Wednesday evening last to Mrs. Mary Tyler. As both have had similar experience, they were not visibly surprised, though the boys gave them a noisy

and discordant serenade at night. Jas. Hooper, now in the employ of the New Albany & St. Louis Air Line railroad was at home last week. He says the Kenney boys are on the Air Line, as well as Nathan Stockwell, Joe Hook and others. N. F. Bonsall is an express train conductor. The sale of personal property of Lewis Shryer's estate took place last Thursday. The attendance was not as large as expected. 500 bushels of corn were sold at from 30 to 42c, Jas. Cookerley purchasing ihe bulk of it. 400 bushels of wheat were bought by Gar. Pauley at 76c., the market price being 1 at the railroad. There were 28 shares of stock in the 1st National Bank of Bloomington, that were sold to various parties at an average

premium of 9. John Wulclron bought eleven shares.

John Hall, west of town, has a ne field of wheat, upon which bone manure was used, as has also Jas. Pauley. But persons who wish to see how great a difference there is between manured wheat and that which has not thus been

treated, should look over a ten acre field belonging to Jas. Robinson,

west of Bloomington. Mr. Robin

son did not have enough- bone ma

nure to sow his entire field, but af

ter it had been exhausted hauled

twenty-eight loads of barn manure

on the ground. The bone ma

nured wheat is six or eight inches high, and looks splendidly, while

the other portions are struggling through the ground "iu spots." Tis night in the country. The stoek has been fed, the squeal of the pig is hushed, and tho tired horse munches at his corn and wouders why his master throws in so many cobs without a kernel on them. The watch dog sits at the gate, perfectly willing to chew up any of the neighbors for a ccat, add within the farm house all is serene, or would be if John Henry could fiud the grease for his boots, Mary Ami could find her novel, the old mail discover the hidingplace of the boot jack, and the mother solve the mystery of how some of her neighbors managed to get a dress costing two shillings per yard when she had nothing but calico. Go to J. W. Robinson for your fresh and pure groceries.

Wm. Burkett and family, of Smithviile, left this county for some point in Texas, several weeks ago. T. H. Sudbury has the timbers on the ground, and is making preparations to add another story to his building, south of Walker's

J meat shop.

ltobt. IN. Miller, rormcriv a

grocer of this place, is now in Winchester, Kansas, where he will remain during the summer. David Welch, a former conduc

tor on the L., N. A. fc C. R. It., is

now ruuniug local freight on the Air Line road.

Capt. Friedley, of Bedford,

caught a pike in Salt Creek a few days ago, which measured three feet five inches in length and weighed fifteen pounds. The signal lights on the railroad switches make the line take on metropolitan airs. When the switch is closed a white light is shown j should the switch be open, the light is red. Chas. Mellett left Bloomington last week, for his home in Watertown, Dacotah. Walter Howe left Bloomington, last week, for his home. His father, Lieut. Howe, is stationed at Boston Harbor. The widow of E. T. Taylor was in town last week, and is making arrangements to remove to Indianapolis. There were no day trains on Sunday, tbe managers of the railroad company having taken them off. Every mau or Woman you meet is suffering from a severe attack of "distemper," and the only remedy seems to be quinine in frequent doses. We boast of having no ma-

: laria in Bloomington (we are not

troubled with chills and fever) but may not these persistcut colds, contracted without exposure, be traced to some malarious condition ? For some time Mr. John C Dolan of this place has been in correspondence with Boston parties

who operate extensive barrel hoop

factories in several States. On Saturday the representative of this

enterprise arrived in Bloomington,

and was shown-over the city. Af

ter havins the resources of the

country and city explained to him, and the advantages and disadvantages shown, he left Bloomington with his mind made up to recommend the location of the hoop works at this point. The ground and buildings formerly owned by Browning Bios., on the railroad, but bought by Dunn & Co., were bargained for. The hoop fartory

: will employ about forty men, and

the machinery will be driven by au 80-horsc' power engine. In this connection the Progress takes occasion to say that Bloomington is "booming." On Thursday night of last week, an entrance was effected at one of the rear windows of the Bloomington postoffice, and a number of stamps were stolen. The thief used a chisel to force the window and some of the lock-boxes. On Friday night ad entrance was

effected at the Ellettsville postoffice, and a window raised with a chisel,

as the marks show; Here a quan

tity of stamps, money, two register

ed letters, and Postmaster Steven

son's commission were taken. A

fellow was arrested on the freight

train Saturday morning, upon

whom the registered envelopes, the

commission, a quantity oi stamps, cheap jewelry, money, and a paint

er's chisel were found. The burg

lar proved to be a painter who worked four days for Fedder &

Wylie, and who gave his name as

Connors. The jewelry was evident

ly the result of another raid; The thief was taken to jail till called for on Sunday by a deputy U. S.

Marshal. He will get about ten

years and a chrorao.
