visited the University last Tuesday, coming by special train. At 11:30
M. the students and faculty, and e.a I . ,1
many citizens assemoiea at me University Chapel te give their biennial greeting to their legislative friends and visitors. The Chapel was well filled. Dr. Jordan pre
sided with grace and dignity. He introduced a few of the honorable
members of the House, who made
ppropriate 'remarks, favorable to
to the University. Among the speakers were Hon. B. W. Smith of Tippecanoe county, Hon. E. S.
Frazee of Rush, Hon. Robert Ov
erman of Lawrence, an alumnus,
Class '71, Dr. Henry V. Passage of j
Miami. Hon. J. R. East and Rev.
E. Brant of our own city alo
made a few felicitous remarks. The impression prevailed that the pres
ent Legislature will see to it that
the Indiana University is to be
placed on its proper financial foot
ing by special appropriation. The
Committee were convinced, by their visit of the needs of the University aod are ready to represent its eaose to the Legislature. Committees have visited us before, but
none more intelligent, more genial,
gentlemanly and friendly than the one which was here last Tuesday.
The condition of winter wheat
in this State, according to the report just prepared by the commissioner of agriculture, fa as follows :
Madison county promises well. Warrick, sown so late that an esti
mate can hardly be made. Spen
cer, early sown, an average: late
sown, quite backward. DeKalb,
weather favorable, prospect good
Hancock late on account of drouth,
but prospect good. Starke larger than usual, and condition good;
early pieces show indications of the fly. Scott : Too dry to plow, and
hence not a large area. Brown
Too late sown on account of dry
weather, but looks well. Whitley
Looks well. Floyd : Never looked
better. Dearborn: Looking badly
injured by frost, and somewhat by
fly. Wabash : Not the usual am
ooot sown, on account of drought. That sown in cornfields looks well.
Uhio: Small yet because it was sown late. In good condition. Late sowing is regarded as better; early sown wheat being more lia
ble to be attacked by fly. Shelby:
Late sown; not coming on rapidly, on account of drought, Marshall : Good condition. If it fills well we
shall have the largest crop by one half that we ever raised. La Porte: Looking unusually fine. Gibson : injured by fly. Fayette: sown late; small but vigorous. Little or no damage from fly. Franklin : the late sowing looks badly; W arret) : doing finely. Sullivan ; looks well but is three weeks late.
Dubois : sowing very late on ac
count of drought, and goes into the
winter with but little growth. Union : drought, has caused the acre
age to be less than usual. Pulaski:
looks better than for many years.
Jefferson : very slow growth on ac
count of the dirynens of the season. Hamilton : acreage as large as last year. A large part sown late and is therefore mall. Early sown damaged by insects. Prospects not the best. Go to the Fee corner for groceries
The editor of the Indianapolis
Sentinel accompanied the House committee on its visit to Bloomington last week, and wrote up his impressions for that paper of Thursday. If the article was intended to be complimentary to the town or to the University, the writer was certainly unfortunate in the selection of his language, to place the mildest construction upon it. The following extract will give our readers an idea of the Sentinel's "boom for Bloomington : " There are those to wonder at so strong ah attachment on the part of the class tavhr of the location ol this University.
These point to it as beina; comparatively
iiiabceosiblet and in a town which has
shown retrograde rather than progress. They recite that when in 1818 an Indiana Legislature honored Bloomington fwith the institution, her claims were stranger
by comparison wita otter pieces in tne State than now. It ia held that Bloomington remains a back town, while many others unborn when she was of age have grown into almost metropolitan vigor and grace, On sites which, by the centering or intersection of railway:, render tbem
convenient of reach from various sections of the State. An alumnus of the university at Bloomington actually declared in the lobby of an- Indianapolis hotel, the
otner nignt, tnat an laverea in removal ef it to some other town. Said he: "Bloomington has, by not advancing, been receding in the scale of Indiana cities until she is new far oat of the way, and since with the burning of the old building the school is to be removed te entirely different grounds, the associations dear to the alumts are lost, and I, for one, think it advisable that the State sell out the trifling interest remaining to it at Bloomington, and rebuild the Institution at some more eligible town." But this question aside. It has not been my opportunity to know personally of the merit of this discussion. If I may judge of the Bloomington people by the few citizens I have met, including Trustee Maxwell, Jas. 8. Williams and Hon. J. R. Bast, I pronounce them live enough to refute any foasiliferous imputation. Still, if they would boss their railway communication m that their daily mail from the capital citv would come over the sixty miles be
fore the fourth hour of the afternoon, thev would be relieved from a circum
stance their critics can make good use of. But to the condition of wbat is, or
was, the State University : The school is there i. e. faculty and students, though
the situation reminds of the telegram or
the agent whom a mill owner sont, just after a flood, to look after his property. The message received by the owner read :
'There is a dam br the mill site but no
mill bv a sight." Barring the "cuss"
word, that outlines what our clergymen . ... ma- V . ilT J
of the committee, jneaers. irauKun auu
Frazee, will report.
Mr. Cravens, who bought
Cant Fields' stock, in the Fee
Corner, has a store in Hendricks
county, and will remain there, while his two sons will look after
business here. The family will remove to Bloomington so soon as
they can secure a suitable dwelling
house. One of the sons, who has
been connected with the Danville
QozetU, called at this office last
week on business. He seems to be
thorough gentleman, and will
leave a favorable impression wher
ever he goes.
It does not fell to the lot of . a 11
many mortals to nave a goiaen wedding,in this day of easy divorces and late marriages, but our old
friend and patron, John W.Throop,
will have that experience if him
self and his wife, Mrs. Lucinda Throop, live till, the 17th of the
coming February. Both Mr,
Throop and bis wife were born In Kentucky, and her father removed to Monroe county in 1729 Mr.
Throop's father removing to this
county in 1822. On Feb. 17th,
1835, Mr. Throop was married, at
the residence of his father-in-law,
Richard Hunter, two miles south
west of Bloomington. Mr. Throop
is now one of the oldest citizens,
Robertson Graham and Zimri Wor-
ley were here when Mr. Throop came, but he (Throop) has resided
in Monroe county now over 64
years. Mr. Throop will be 75 vears of asre next June, and his
ar
wife will be 70 next September,
It fa the intention of the friends
and relations to see that Mr. Throop
and wife have the Golden Wed
ding ceremvuitss performed on the
17th ult., and many will be there
to see and congratulate this estims ble couple;

papers there are several kinds of
a a Democrats. The "mossback" is one who wants the office himself, a "mugwump" is the one who don't want the other man to have tbe office, and the "kid" is the one whose highest enjoyment is to defeat the others from having their way about anything. All three are dangerous elements in a party who have so recently caught the
first glimpse of success. A Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal toys
that, in anticipation of losing jjleir
present positions, the lady depart
ment clerks are making haste to
get married, and are closing all
contracts as rapidly as possible, and
many of the young men are
thus securing wives who are too
beautiful to be useful, and not
