Printed each TVewfey JHormaj, Ay WUXUX A- 6ASS, Editor and PobUsker. The Progress takes pleasure in directing the attention of its readers to the mammoth announcement of Duns & Co., the grocers near the depot, whose reputation for complete stocks and reasonable prices, has made that firm so justly celebrated, and has carried its name and fame into every neighborhood and family in Monroe and adjoining counties. This house was established in 1351, by Samuel . and Felix C. Dunn, and from the first day of its organization and I opening, mounted the top wave of success, where it has ever since maintained its position. The present proprietors are Felix 6. Dunn, j known here for a half century as one of the most honorable and con- j Fcientious business men of the country, and Jos.N. Alexander, a young '

business man whese keen foresight and undaunted energy has much to to do with the success which the firm has achieved in recent years. After Mr. Alexander went into the firm be begun to inquire into and figure on the advantages that might be gained by buying goods direct from Baltimore and New York in car-load lots, and potting his theory into practice, he begun buying such leading staples as sugar, tea, coffee, rice, prunes, etc., from first hands, and was thus enabled to retail these goods at lower prices than was being paid to the whole- j salers by other retail grocerymen And that is just where Dunn & Co. excel to-day. The car-load lots of j sugar they have recently purchased in the east have enabled them to sell at-phenomenally low prices. Instead of selling their goods on credit and at a big profit, Dunn & Co. do a strietly cash business ; but s little cash goes a long way at Dunn & Co.'s, in the purchase of table supplies and eueh staple articles as enter largely into the every day necessities of a family. The past year has been a very satisfactory one with their custom -fcrs who have been given-the benefitsof close buying. Still Dunn A Co. aspire to do better, by enlarging and .widening the sphere of their usefulness. To succeed in this they have made some surprisingly favorable eon tracts with leading importers, and during the next three Months will give to such persons as may favor them with patronage, an pportonity to secure a great many elasses of goods at prices far below any heretofore quoted. The steve room of Dunn & Co. has recently undergone an entire change in appearance, ha7ing been painted and frescoed in an artistic and attractive meaner, and the accommodating salesmen of the hoose, among whom are Chas. Alexander, Ewing Batterton, Grundy Dunn and Jos. N. Alexander, will at all times take pleasure in showing persons through the stock, assuring them that both goods and prices shall suit them.

Greencastle has achieved a great victory. On Friday a week Miss H. Eliasa Hart, of Greencastle, came forward and subscribed the $3,000 necessary to complete the guaranty fund and secure the De Pauw endowment for the University at that place. It is known that Mr. De Pauw has given a written instrument giving the University 45 per cent, of his entire estate, exclusive of the glass works, which makes an additional donation of $1,500,000. The college without these gifts is now worth, in buildings, grounds, investments and outside bequests, $$00,000. Robert McKim, of Madison, has given $10,000 for an observatory, to be built next spring. Anthony Swisher died recently in Tippecanoe county, leaving $25,000 to go to the University on the death of bis wife. in. concert and general jubilee was held at Meharry ball, winding up with the firing of artillery and the ringing of bells.

Hon. Jno. C. New, Senator Sabin and Mr. Martin are committee on arrangements for the national convention. They have decided that uo suoli numbers shall be admitted as spectators as at the last Chicago convention. They intend to divide the Exposition ball in such a way as to give the floor room to the delegates; the platform T'wni to the officers and press, anrl gallery room for not over 3,000 visitors, instead of 15,000 as at th lust convention.

We find the following in the Conner of last Saturday. Mr.Jno. W. Buskirk has no superior as a lawyer, and his fitness for the Bench has been demonstrated by the ac

ceptable manner in which he has occupied that honorable position

when called upon, during the past four or five years : Joho W. Buskirk will be a candid ato

for Circuit Judge, before the next Democratic Judicial Convention for this cir

cuit, composed of the counties of Monroe,

.Lawrence, Orange, Martin, it is unnecessary to speuk of Mr Busktrk's qualifications for the office to those of the Legal

Fraternity who have met him in court, as bis ability is fully reemrnisad ant) admit

ted by them ; and to the Democracy of the Circuit, generally, the estimate in which bis legal ability is held by the Bar of the Circuit it sufficient. It is no dis

paragement to the claims of others who may seek the same position, to say, that

aa a judge of law, Mr. Buskirk is regarded

by those best qualified to decide as having no superior in the Circuit; nor, indeed

in the State, his age being considered-

Although, comparatively a young man, be was prominently spoken of as a candidate lor Supreme Judge, at the last Democratic State Convention, and could undoubted ry have-been nominated and elected, bad be not deferred to the claims of Judge Niblack, present incumbent. He eoold carry this county against any candidate that could be nominated againat bim and would we think carry the Circuit by a handsome majority. His popularity in this county arises not only from bis success in the practice, but also from the fact that while ho Is always zealous and true to tbejntereats of bis clients, he is ever ready to suggest or meet compromise to avoid or settle litigation. There is a clergyman in Tennessee called the "satisfying preacher." If a congregation is discontented he is sent for, and 50 atrociously bad is he that after hearing him once or twice the congregation is entirely satisfied to keep the the pastor it has. The Christian Advocate tells this story, and acids that when the great Robert Ball was recovering from mental aberration be took a whim that he would not preach. Several clergymen filled his pulpit. At last he heard one so poor that be said to him so the traditiou is : "Sir, you have produced a great effect by your sermon to-day. If the people must hear you or me, my duty' is clear I must resume preaching !" Fannie B. Ward writes from Saltillo that at whatever hour a person dies in Mexico, it is customary to appoint the funeral just 24 hours later, and that the mortality is greatest all over the world at night, so most of the funeral ceremonies in Mexico are peforjned at night, no women being permitted to attend. The poor hire the coffins in which their dead are borne to the grave.

A People without Coxsump-

rios. A paper was read recently before the Tennessee Medical Society with the title "A people withut Consumption, and S 'tne Account of their country." The country in question is the Cumberland plateau. The writer, Dr. Wright, ias practiced in the region throughut a generation, and in his assertion of fact touching the entire absence of consumption he ia supported by the testimony of about tweowv other physicians of stanrling.-r-

There U a cedar tree in the colored people's cemetery in Americus, Ga., that was planted in a pitcher at the head of a negro's grave ten years Hjo. It burst the bottom of the pitcher and took root in the earth. The pitcher still encircles the tree, which is about ten ieet high. Hollow steel shafting, which has come very generally into use in Europe, even for such heavy work as steamship propeller shafts, is found to very much lessen the weight in proportion to the decreased strength.' It appears, for exampis, that a ten-inch shaft with a hole four inches in diameter, has its weight reduced sixteeen per cent., with a loss of only 2.56 per cent, of strength.

It is sometimes as dangerous to prove too little as too much in a law case. For instance, accotding to the Chicago Herald, a plaintiffin that city filed a bill fur a divorce because his wife persisted in singing hymns in the house. The Court just laughed at him, and he was about to suffer nonsuit, when his lawyer summoned his wife to the witness stand and started her singing "Hail to the Brightness." At the end of the fifth verse the Court assented, and the divorce was granted for cruelty.
