Dr. Jordan, the new Presi
dent of the Indiana University, delivered his inaugural lecture in College chapel, on Sunday .a week. The following is an extract: I am glad to believe that the President is not the essential part of the University. I certainly hope, that as President, my efforts may aid the growth of the University, but I aba take comfort in the belief that my blunders cannot do much' to retard it. In any case, success or failure dees not depend upon my efforts alone. I feel that I stand here as
the representative of the Faculty. 1
hope in ail things to work with the earn- i est co-operation of my brother-professors j who know already my ways and my
weaknesses, and with whose help X cannot go Car astray. To the students I would say as I have said before : It is for you and for you
only that the University exists. To aid on in your aspiration is the sole reason why we are here. Your interests cannot be diverse from oars. We hope always
to have your hearty support in all matters
in which tho welfare of the University is concerned. I have said not long ago th.it if ever college in our land had occasion to be grateful for the intelligent aid of its
students, that college is oar own. I am sure that Your help will not fail us in the i
fu tare as it has not in the past.
And to you, citizens of Bloomington ,bt me say : Tea are our environment S o man nor institution can be free from the influence of his surroundings. And in this work on which I enter, this influence may be sufficient to make or break. Lot so have your hearty support till I show myself inefficient or unworthy. When that time comes, I shall not stand fi.tr a moment in the way 0 the better man whom I hope some day' to introduce to yon the right man to lead our University. When he comes, I shall return te say chosen aelds. Until then I ask of each of you yout help, your sympathy, your prayer. The people of Bloomington, we believe, will do whatever may
lay in their power to assist and en
courage President Jordan, and will readily accord to him full credit for whatever success may attend
his administration.

Auditor's Office, Bloom ington, Ind., January 20tn, 1885. The School Law reads as follows : "The Auditor SHALL, tn the fourth Monday in March annually, offer for sale all mortgaged land on which payments of Interest are DUB on the first day uf JANUAKY, and unpaid on the day of snle." W. it. ALEXANDER, Jan. 22, 1885, Aud. Myn. Oo. Some two years ago the Christ
ian Church of Bedford gut into a
controversey over "the organ." The two factions separated, and have so remained till Monday night a week, when they became reconciled, and the congregation U once more united. On Wednesday night, at Ran
dolph's Opera House, Kirkwood Avenue, we are to have a treat in the way of first class theatrical company, whiuh will render "The Bauker's D.iughter" a play that has drawn crowded houses for months inNew York City. The company is said to be complete, well-balanced, aod worthy of patronage. A leading feature will be the brass band and orchestra, and every one knows that a good orchestra is one of the
main factors in a pleasing performance. Brief allusion was made last week to the sudden death of John Ehui, who during the past twentyfive years had been a citizen of Bloomington. Deceased has had a tailor ehop in the Fee building since the erection of the "Bee Hive" blook, and was known as a quiet industrious citizen. He was born in Germany in 1817, and so Was in bis 68th year at the time of bis death. In accordance witb his usual custom, he had visited his friend Mr. Benckart on Monday
night, and sat and talked till 9 o'
clock, seemingly in his usual health. When about to arise Tuesday morning, 13th inat., He was Seized with
a violent fit of cougbing,and com
plained that he could not breathe. Dr. Bryan was sent for, came quickly, and while preparing some medicine, his patient sank back in bed and expired. Congestion of the lungs was said to be the immediate cause of bis death. An Exchange says an inch space in the newspaper is worth a thousand miles of advertising on a board fence. It is correct, for the farmers these cold days gather around the warm fires add read ev
erything in a newspaper, and if
there were signs as large as a barn door right in the middle of the road which they traveled home, they would go around them and never give them a passing glance.
The Indianapolis police have
taken a novel way of ridding the ,
city of tramps. Saturday evening a patrol wagonload was taken into the country, soundly cowuided and warned n&ver to return. This treatment is contrary to law, but it is having satisfactory effects. An Exchange says : freezing in cellars may be prevented by
keeping several lighted, kerosene lamps on the bottom of the cellar. Two or three finch lamp3 kept burning all day in a cellar where

At the close of the session he will step into a good position as deputy to the Reporter of the Supreme Court, and in about tour or rix

for a State office. George is lucky. Drain Tile is coming into use all over the country, not only tor draiuing, but for the purpose of adding a fertilizing property which this running of pipes under the earth insures. Mr. Garrison, our enterprising brick maker, has owned a tile machine for some time, aud is now preparing to go into the manufacture of tile. Farmers would do well to call ou Mr. Garrison, and learn what he can do for them in this line. Wm. H. Bunger, son of Jacob Bunger, died at 10 o'clock Thursday night, from haemorhage of the lungs. He had gone tn Indiana
polis to visit his sister, the wife of
Emsley Wood, and while there the final summons came. The remains were brought to Ellettsville, and the funeral services were held at the residence of his brother, Charles Bungfer. Rhv.

From the time the wheat goes into the ground till it reaches the table in form of bread, nearly every separate process has been done by

Farmers in many parts of Nebraska are burning corn for fuel. Soft coal is worth in that State about 22 cents a bushel, and corn
