The township trustee swindle in Daviess county is assuming gi gantic proportions. The Indianapolis News of Thursday says : "With each additional discovery regarding the swindling operations of B. B. Pollard and township trustees of various parts of the State in the issue and sale of illegal township warrants it becomes more evident that the operations have been even more extended than was at first, suspected, and the News was to-day put in possession ofdocunmentary evidence that such alleged obligations, issued for a number of additional counties than at first renerted. have been in extensive
circulation throughout the East,and
have found a ready mamer. a gentleman who returned from Daviess county last night reports that the total amount of the warrants issued in the three townships there will probably exceed $500,000, and in response to inquiries made by a legal firm here, the following significant dispatch was received from Hamilton. Ont.. this morning:
"Two more Indiana township trus- j
tees have arrived here and more are
expected." Governor Gray stated this morning that in his opinion the extradition treaty between the Unit
ed States and Great Britain wou Id
not allow the offenders to be broug lit back here, and another attorney
said that the only possible means
of relief was to bring a civil suit against Pollard in Canada, and attach his possessions, if any could be
found." The Seymour Democrat exposes a sharp scheme by which certain parties in Chicago seek to grill the unwary. The plan is to ostensibly appoint the victim agent for a detective association, charging liitn $5 for a "badge of office and other necesary papers" ol course the sole object being to extract the $5 from the victim.

-AThe next College Sabbaxh af
ternoon lecture will be by Dr.
Hodges, (M. D.) of Indianapolis.
Subject: "Brook Farm." If any
body wonders what the subject means, by inquiring of any member
of the "Chautauqua Circle," or the "School of Philssophy," he will
find out that "Brook Farm" was the name of a sort of Kingdom-
come, or a celestial abode on earth,
established on communistic princi
ples, i a the vicinity of Boston,about
40 years ago. A few eminent literary philanthropists, who were dissatisfied with human society as they
found it, proposed to start it again
on a new plan ; and under articles
ot incorporation they bought a 200acre farm, and associated themselves together for mutual help and improvement. Their scheme was a
new plan for the regeneration of
man, to redeem society from evil, to establish a Utopia, to build a house in the clouds, to leave the bitterness of Marah and feed on the grapes of Eschol, to withdraw from the wicked world and live in a social paradise where every soul could pursue its ideal. Its founder was George Ripley ; among the members were Hawthorne, Dana, Whitmore and others. Afterwards as contributors to its literature, and as frequent visitors, were no less eminent men than Emerson, Chanuiug, Creely, Lowell, Geo. William Curtis, Wbittier, Story, Higginson, Theodore Parker, and Margaret Fuller. At the introduction of the
socialistic views of Fourier the association soon failed, as others had
done before. As an incident in the
history of socialism in America, like the Owen enterprise at New Harmony, the subject is one of lively interest, aud no doubt the lecture will prove a profitable and interesting occasiou.
