One of the grandest and most
gorgeous swindles, is that perpetrated upon the people by school
book publishers, who in some un accountable way succeed in thrust
ing different books into the schools
very six weeks. A standard and expensive book that bas been used
by one of the older children the present term, cannot be used by his
brother who follows him in promo-
tion the book may be on the same
study, but it must be Johnson's new revision, or Brown's shorter method. It is a heavy tax upon
the man in ordinary circumstances who has four or five children to
educate. But how to remedy the
evil, is a question we can not solve. It bas just come to light that the History of the United States
from the time the rebellion was in
aozoarated till the present, is not
taught in the Indianapolis schools
for fear the matters referred to
might hurt some of the pro-slavery people's feelings. Nice place to
erect a monument, eh ?
It will he remembered that
some time last spring a judgment
was given in Monroe circuit court against the L-, N. A. & C. railway
company for the sum of $800 in favor of a little daughter of Walter
Shanks of Mitchell. The supreme court has reversed the decision, and the ease will couie up aain for trial at the April term. Charley Hooper for some time
past an employe of the New Albany

Speaking of tramps, the In
dianapolis News says :
The nationality most largely
represented is the English. There are more English tramps than all
others. Irish tramps are not only not common but rare. English and Americans make the bull of them, and English are far more numerous than natives. They are the most insolent, daring and dangerous. As a rule they are criminals as well as tramps. The, other nationalities are less mixed with criminality.
The committee representing
the several associations of the Church of the Disciples of Christ

Nath. Stock well, a locomotive
engineer on ihe New Albany & St.
Louis Air Line railroad came home
last week, his road being so badly damaged by water that trains cannot run. At nine o'clock last Wednesday night an alarm of fire was given, and the steamer rushed out like a war-horss eager for the fray. It was a defective flue in the residence of Wm. Hall that caused
the trouble, but a few buckets of
water extinguished it, The glass blowers have been
on a strike at New Albany during
the' past six months, and went to work the first of last week, just in time for the fires to be put out by
the high water of the Ohio river, aud now they arc again idle.
Not many years will pass be

have a population of 200,000. F. W. Thurber, who retires from business in New York, is estimated to be worth $2,000,000. He began with a few dollars and gradually built up a colossal grocery concern. His age is fifty-four. They retire in Bloomington, hut
with less, usually, than two million.

A great flood has been sweep
ing down the Ohio and its tributaries during the past week. Water
is again standing in the streets of Lawrenceburg to a depth of from two to twenty feet, the embank
ment thrown up last season having been swept away. New Albany
and Louisville have also suffered severely. The O, & M. railroad is
again submerged, and passengers are taken by steamboat from Aurora to Cincinnati. The water is almost as high as it was a year ago. It was a pretty "sliok trick"

CLOSING OUT.
Judge Robinson and Mr. Fullerton of Spencer, were attending court last week. Judge Robinson was attorney in the Lashure case, which was continued till next term. Judge Robinson looks as much like D, W. Voorbees as a
man can look who is not himself
the celebrated Senator, while he has the same smooth, oily manner of talking, that has won such renown for the "tall sycamore ." Judge R. is not at present a candidate for any office, but when he is, is a formidable one, as has been demonstrated. The new Bishop of the Episcopal Church, came to Bloomington on Tuesday of last week, and preached in the M. E, Church that night. -He had a large audience and" created a favorable impression. The Polk township woman who charged several of her neigh
bors with forcibly cutting the hair
from ber head, died recently, and the case against her alleged assailants has been dismissed.
A deed was brought to the
Recorder some days ago for
record, acknowledged by a justice
but it had never been signed. A deed was also recorded some time ago with this saving clause : "Thar is no cumback on this deed." . Dr. McLahlan of Harrodsburg, was in town last week taking an inventory of bis congressional prospects, which be found were good. He takes considerable interest in the artesian well, tho' he dosen't like the effect of artesian water makes him "sea-sick." -C. R. Worrall, pension agent and attorney, reports the following pensions granted through his
agency this week: Elijah Knight,
increase to $12 ; mother-iu-law of
John C. Lampkins, in Marion tp.,
back pay 11,980, and 3 a month.
The Bedford Star says : "We
have water works iu Bedford now."
Another item reads: "Alex.Dobins
has bought ths Pedro saloon, paying $5,000 for it." It would seem
that water is not popular where
saloons sell at that price.
The present winter seems to
have done more injury to pavements than any previous one.
West and north bide pavements have bef etofore escaped the . effects
of the freeze and thaw, but now
pavements in all parts of tow n are
injured.
The revival meeting in the M. E Church of this place, under tho untiring labors of Rev. J. E. Brant, bas been continued during the past nine weeks. A large number of persons were enrolled among the membership of this thriving organization. The Stephens pike was let to
Stewart & Bro. for the sum of
$5,657. The work to be done is 2J miles in length. It is to be hoped that the contract will be
comprehensive enough to prevent
the contractors from presenting a bill of several thousand dollars for additional work, or work not specified.
David Bunzer, brother of
Jacob and Joseph Bunger, resided in the Luke Ward neighborhood
some seventeen years ago. His wife was a sister of Mrs. Jno. Ber
ry. They removed to Illinois,
then to Iowa. Wm. Bunger, a son,
died recently in Burlington, Iowa,
and the Hawkeye of that city says : Yesterday morning were bald the obsequies 61 the Into William Bunger, pos

the surmise and admiration of
a. those who examine them. In this connection the Progress desires to call the attention of the people to the banquet to be given for the benefit of the Fire Department on the night of the 14th. J. H. Garrison, the brick maker, has .purchased a brick making machine, one ot those on exhibition at the Louisville Exposition. It is also a tile machine, and Mr. Garrison proposes to give considerable attention to the man
ufacture of tile, for which, he tells
the Progress, he can find ready sale at a fair profit. The machine
will arrive this week, and will be
put at work immediately. Ihe
capacity of the machine is 20,000
nicely moulded brick each day,
Mr. (i. says he has as many brick
contracted for as he had at this date last year, and that the pros-
ect for the consumption of brick
was never before so good.

Mr. J. Henley, in bis closing
remarks for the prosecution in the
Rosebcrry case, alluded to some
facts that are not generally known
or understood by the public, and
on Monday the Progress interviewed the sheriff, Maj. Grimes, on the subject. His statement is, briefly i "Four months airo I was notified
by the Board of County Commis
sioners to get ready to go after exTreasurer McKinney. My preparations were made, when on Sat
urday before the Monday upon which I had arranged to start, the
county attorney came to me and said, as near as I can recollect) 'you can postpone that trip.'" The commissioners consulted their at
torneys iu this matter, and it is fair to presume,acting under their direction, did what they were advised, and that , which they believed to be best for the county's interest in
the bond suit.

Look, up tbe Titles to your Farms and Homes.
After a careful examination of
tbe records of the county, C. R. Worrall, attorney, reports that he finds a great many defective titles. In some, old, unsatisfied liens, perhaps forgotten, will cause trouble some day. In others, deeds not recorded; in one, a party,, by a mistake in the description, held a deed to forty acres of a valuable farm when he didn t own an acre of it, and had no deed to his home forty acres. Hen should see to it that they leare good titles to their homes for their wives and children it will sere troublesome and expensive law suits and perhaps their homes. When purchasing real estate get a careful competent attorney to look up the title and draw up your deeds and mortgages. O. R. 'Worrall, attorney, makes a speciality of examining titles, making abstracts and writing deeds. Get him to look up your titles, it will save a law suit some dav.

The most profitable industry of the new Swedish colony in Aroostook county, Maine, is that of raising potatoes for the starch factorio s, of which there are twenty-six. The largest of these made lnat year 392 tons of starch from 88,000 bushels of potatoes. The process of starch making is simple,, consisting merely of grinding the potatoes, washing the pulp, and setting the starch in three vats successively after it has been thoroughly washed with clean water to remove all impurities. Furnace heat is employed for drying. Feed ! Feed !
