store. The audiences at the perform
ances of Earl's Dramatic Combination grew each eveuhig, and Saturday night's audience waa a "rouser." Mr. Earl's success has induced him
to stay another week, and so he has canceled his engagement at Spencer for that purpose. Mr. Earl's stay
in Bloomington has been so pleas
ant for him that there is little won
der that he has made extraordinary
sacrifices to put in another week with us, though it is intimated that the leading reason for his change of purpose is the warm attachment that has grown up between his com
pany of artists and the iuconipara" ble band that has each night wafted its sensuous melodies upon the circumambient atmosphere, and thus
made the performances of the troupe doubly enjoyable. Mr. Earl is to bo congratulated upon retaining the services of tbe Kirkwood Avenue
Opera House Colon d Brass Band, and the Band has visibly improved with the practice thus secured.

Uncle TI103. Mathers sold his
farm of eighty-three acres to Miff.
Mathers last week. An unusual
quantity of land is changing hands
on Clear Creek at present, and at
good figures. The building of the
pikt; has much to do with this, as people can now get to town easily
with their produce at all seasons of the year.
Rich. Dodds, one of the most

The bench was occupied last week by Judges East, Duncan, Pittman and Martin, in cases in which Judge Miers had been inter

-Miff. Mathers, one of the O.

has been buying more land on "the

-The Allen case has been con
tinued till next term of court. Mrs.
Pitts has brought suit against Allen for $10,000 damages for the loss of her husband. Senator .Wjilard of Bedford was attending court in Bloomington last week. Looked like all the Lawrence county attorneys were here. John C. Whisnand sold eighteen head of cattle last week to shippers, the cattle averaging 1,250 lbs., for which he was paid $4.20 per ewt. Roseberry & Cron sold fourteen head of stock cattle, last week, to Ben. I. Owens, for $3.50 per cwt. The cattle were two year olds, and averaged 960 lbs. One of the Kinney boys, (all of whom are railroaders), is back on the "longnarrow, angular and crooked," where he first learned "circular work." Wm. Oliver (Enoch Fuller's partner) has closed a contract with Frank Bean for building him a residence on the lot recently purchased from Scddy Carmichaei, on west 5th street. The commissioners appointed to assess damages and benefits for the opening of a street at the north end of the new pike have been wrestling vigorously with the questions therein involved, but are unable, so far us we can learn, to arrive at a decision.
The Lawn.nce county fair was
not a great success ; likewise also
was not the Paoli fair. In fact the
people can go to a large city and
see so much fair, in addition to see
ing the city, and for so little more
than a visit to one of these county
fairs costs them, that the county fairs look poor and meagre by contrast. It is stated that the largest attendance for my one day at Bed
ford was 500.
Wool has been changing hands
quite rapidly within the past two
weeks, the price having advanced from five to seven cents per pound.
In one neighborhood southeast of

J.G.Robinson hid 2,200 lbs. ; Mon
roe Miller, had 1,900 lbs.; and Jas.
Empson had about 700 lbs. They

Prof. Collett, State Geologist
when the work was begun on the artesian well, predicted that a flowinc stream would be struck at a
depth of 960 feet. Prof. Owen
gave it as hia opinion that
depth of at least 2,000 feet would
have to be reached before a flow
was secured. Henry McCalla, who is well posted in geology, at the
same time declared that Collett had
demonstrated his .ignorance of the matter, and stated that a A'-tw could not be secured at a less depth
than 2,700 feet. The well is now
2,650 feet deep, aud the drill is
working 111 a wniic,soii water-bear
ing sand rosk, with every indica
tion of the near presence of a flow. The water brought up in pumping
out, smells strongly of sulphur, and contains salt and magnesia. Looks Isks Henry McCalla had a better knowledge of the "dip" of the rocks than some of those gentlemen who make geology a specialty.
P. S. The usual 'bad luck" is
still with the artesian well people
