GRANT Memorial Services. The Grant Memorial Services, in Bloomington, on last Saturday, were of a solemn and impressive character. At the hour designated by the committee (10 a.m.) the court house park was comfortably filled with men, women and children, who had come together to pay the last sad tribute to the memory of a man whose greatness was acknowl

edged by the people of the civiliz

ed world The order 'of exercises was announced by the Chairman of the meeting, Mayor J. B. Mulky,

and was carried out in the order indicated below :

Music by Colored Band. Singing by the Choir. Prayer by Rev. J. A. Lyon. Music by the Choir. Reading Scriptures, by Rev. A.

B. Philputt.

Music by the Choir. Report by Committee on Reso

lutions, W.F. Browning, Chairman.

Obation: by Rev. J.E. Brant. Musk by Colored Band. Short addresses by Dr. C. D. McLahlan, Harrodsburg, v Dr. D. S. Jordan, John R. East, Rev. David Graham, Maj. H. F. Perry, from G. A. R. Post. Music by the Choir. Benediction by Prof. E. Ballentine. To single out the remarks of any of these gentlemen would be manifestly unjust to the others they were alike appropriate, patriotic and eloquent, and the meeting as a whole left an impression of solemn

ity and earnestness that was productive of good. Those who were not there to listen or participate, can make their own' excuses. All the prominent business Houses were appropriately and tastefully draped, and business was entirely suspended from 10 till 12 o'clock. The following are the resolutions read by the Chairman of the Committee, Hon. Wm. F. Browning : The occasion that brings thecitizens of this nation together everywhere to-diy, is to pay tribute to the 'memory of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, who was born at Mt. Pleasant, Ohio, April 27th, ,1822, and who upon the breaking out of the war of the rebellion, promptly offered his services to his country without condition, and was commissioned Colonel, June 15tb,1861, Brigadier General, August 5th, 1861, Major General of the United States, July 4th, 1863, Lieutenant Genera, March 2d, 1864, and General, July 26th, 1866, which last commission he held until vacated, March 4th, 1869, by reason of his inauguration as President of the United States. By his masterly comprehension, by tine victories and results achieved, by the physical difficulties met

and overcome, he was the peerless

soldier of the age, and without a superior in any other age.

la military tactics and brilliant

achievements and victories he was our Hannibal ; in determined deeds of daring, he was our Cassar: and

in establishing this our great gov

ernment upon a firm and enduring

basts he was our Moses.

While traveling abroad with only

the title of an American citizen to commend him, he became the guest

of the world: 1 he people ot every

rank vied with each other to see

who could pay the greatest homage

to the Chief citizen of a Christian

nation.

Therefore, Resolved, that it is

fitting that as citizens we should as

semble ourselves everywhere to-day

to express our sorrow at the death

of this great American Citizen and

Military (Jhiettain whose tame is

only bounded by the world, whose

fame was known in every city, village and hamlet in the world, even

before he made his circuit of the

world.

Resolved, That the skeleton form

of death enters with familiar foot

raur ever escaped his lips, no word of grief or disappointment that the end of his earthly pilgrimage was so near. On the field of his slorious achievements undaunt

ed he stood in the red caruage of

war; and before this relentless monarch he appeared even more calm and composed, strong and grand, and bore his inevitable and insidnons approach with undaunted serenity. He sought the aid of science, for life was sweet to him. Slowly but surely crept death in its most appalling form, weariug its most cruel and ghastly mien, and no lingering circumstance of torture or horror was omitted from the awful ordeal through which hej

The pages of human history in

all their wide range present no more striking instance than he did of unquailing lofty heroism, and of sublime submission to the providence of the Supreme Ruler of the Universe, in whom his confidence was firm and unshaken, until he passed from this world to the land ot the rest. Resolved, That in the death of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant the Nation has lost its most illustrious son, loyalty and liberty a devoted supporter, and the cause of humanity an ardent and efficient champion. Resolved, That while we fully appreciate his great ability as a military chieftain, and the gloryhe brought to our arms by his victories, we remember with pride and pleasure his magnanimity to a fallen foe. Resolved, That we will strive to emulate his many virtues and always cherish the memory of his noble deeds in the cause of our country, of liberty and human rights. JOS. 6. McPH E ETEKS, S. ROBERT W.

The Temperance Lawn Social in the Court House Park Thursday evening, a union of all the "lawn social" forces will probably be the last "lawn" event of the season and deserves to be the largest. Everybody can give a little to a good cause by taking ice cream with the

temperance ladies on that occasion. Everybody go, and let us wind up the "socials" with a big ice cream barbecue.

would have taken refuge in self

We presume that most of the

students from town who intend to

to college will attend the Pre

paratory School. The High School

will also furnish instruction in Pre-

paiatory work. The experiment of

the separate schools will be watched with interest. It is quite proba

ble the High School will not have any pupils outside the corporate

imits of the city.

-From the following, taken

from the T. H. Express, it will be seen that Hummer, the horse thief,

has at laet been captured : Monday

evening a man was arrested in the

west end who was endeavoring to

sell a horse. He offered to take

$80, and then $40. Such a reduction excited suspicion, and an officer

was called. This morning he con

fessed that lie stole the horse at Mattoon. He also acknowledges that he stole a horse at Olney, 111.,

and says that he stole many others.

He oners to turn up a number ot horses, if he is promised leniency.

Ed. Hummer.the horse thief con

fined in jail, is turning out to be ai

very bad horse thief. Jtte stole a

horse from Mr. Herkimer, former

ly an I. & St. L. official. A depu

ty sheriff of Coles county, arrived

in the city yesterday and identified the horse. There are supposed to

be numerous horses in this vicinity

Orleans Examiner ' Mrs. Hattie Alexander, nee Munson, of Bloomington, Ind., is visiting her sister Mrs, Emroett Harris at this place. Sixty poles, 32 feet each in length, are broken off in the artesian well, and on top of these is a piece of stone that fell in. Truly

the artesian well men are out of

luck. The prisoners in the county

jail sawed off a bar, one night last

week, but before they could put their attempt to escape in execution the scheme was detected, and the sheriff had them placed in the cells. A file and a knife were found, no doubt handed in by friends of the prisoners. The U. P. church ladies are

going to furnish a dinner for the public on the big showday. They will have ham and chicken, good bread, coffee:, iced tea, fresh sauces, and every thing good. People who buy their dinner that day will be foolish if they don't buy at ths Rink. It will be about as cheap, and far easier for the town people to take dinner witb the ladies as to get up a regular dinner at home. The ladies will appreciate and be thankful for the patronage of the citizens. Of the celebration on the 4th of August, Mr. Ford says: '-The celebration on tho hill the other day, (emancipation in the West Indias) the speaking was opened by Geo. W. Elliott; second speaker John Miles, short addres3 ; a grand address by Mr. Itatrann ; an address by Eld. Price a grand address. A quiet attention was given to tho base ball. Cannonading arranged according to the speakers years before. On this day, 4th of August, address by the President, and decision given by tho colored ministers as race, to adorn tho day of the 4th of August for the colebration, union, emancipation of the colored population to interfere with no other nation or king's day. The 4th of August is tho day. A grand address that night by Rav. Price. Vote for temperance law by ballot to purify the whisky traffic by fines of the dealer and drinker. Might be necessarily lo put down tho temperance question. That is the argument of the day, with tbd general colored oopultttion who Hre in sympathy with tho faw. This is the only right of lights, we read to understand the law of tho Republican party. Thea we can see the future of education." A private dispatch received from one of the trustees of the Soldiers' Orphans' Home and Asylum for feeble-minded Children, stated

ed that the Rev. R. N. Morris, of

Noblesvillc, had been elected sup

erintendent of the Knightstown institution. Mr. Morris is a minister of the Christian church, was four years a Union Soldier, and served for two terms as county superiu-

tendent of Hamilton county. Em

faction at the choice, and say that

he is in every way worthy of the position, He was elected by the

Our people were excited by

the report, about 1 o'clock Mon

day that James Small had been found

dead in the new college campus

Crowds luuried to the spot and the

body was found a short distance

east of the college buildings in the woods. H'3 was reclining with his back and head against a beech tree

and had evidently died without a struggle. The physicians think

his death clue to heart disease, as he had been in failing health for some time, and had been complain

body was quite cold when found,

and he had evidently been dead an

hour or two. Jas. Small was one of

our oldest citizens, and had becu identified in years gone by with

every enterprise that contemplated
