Fall styles in gents piece foods have been received by Ben. MoGee, the artist tailor, on the south side of the square.

Hesperian anniversary. "One of the best performances ever given in the Chapel," was the general comment. The young ladies who afforded the public the pleasure of last Wednesday night's entertainment deserve more than a brief local notice. Hesper is in a revived state. She is so revived that she ought to seek a place on the inter-Society Contest and take what she deserves the literary laurels of the University.. The girls have demonstrated their ability to hold their own in any conti-st with the boys, and if this entertainment did not misrepresent Hesper there is at least one literary society in the University which is a discipline and a training for its members, and which is working while it lives. While the girls, from their more excitable natures, do not know how to spare each other in their foolish factional quarrels, and give and auk no quarter, yet these scenes of feminine pugilism, their pretty pouts, and little spit fire incidents are quite asubordinant part of their important work, and the college public can pass them with a smile, or forget them, when it is presented, as it was on this occasion, with the true coin of talent, industry and worthy woman-hood. Only from worthy girls could come such worthy work. Without a program, we recall the following: 1. The. Essays: Miss Maud Vanzandt gave the first essay on "What would oar Great-Great-Grandmothers say?" Hiss Tanzandt read in a clear, unimpasiknjd, jet forcible tone, manifesting complete possession of her faculties before the audience. With a well written essay, and her usual ease in delivery, she more than held ber own as a public favorite. Hue portrayed the follies of the present generation of young people, yet showed clearly and truthfully their improvement and growth over the age of their grandmothers. She looks upon the bright side of life, predicts a larger fiald sf usefulness for girls,snd, like all true workers, believes the world is growing better; and she revealed the capability and the fire of a soul which will help make it better. The second essay was by Hiss Iona Armstrong, on "The American Girl." This essay sparkled with wit and humor, was evidently the product of a keen mind, and was probably the favorite original production of tbe evening. Hiss Armstrong has tbe happy faculty of saying bright things, and she used it on this occasion with considerable skill in dissecting and analyzing that interesting specimen known as the American girl. The applause and favor with which she was )- ceived were something in the nature ol' a triumph. Strength of character, self reliance, independence, a broad view of the world, vivacity, and attractive good senna, are some of the good traits she gave our American Girl of to-day ; and we are impelled to remark that onr young esaayint. in her pleneingtippearance, impressed -44 as an excellent personification of her sub

ject, the best brand of tbe type.

3. Tto JJccUimatvtns : rney were a rare treat in tbe elocutionary nrt. Hiss Battie Freeman gave "On the other Train," a pathetio story of a poor woman who froze to death at the railway stn tion, ay the neglect of train bands, while she was nn the road to the Poor House ; Hiss Jeiie Piitmsn gave "Tbe Fall sf Pt-mberton Hill," revised. This was Hiss Fractal's first appearance before the general public in Bleomjngtnn, and in this appearance she has wen rare distinction as a declaimed Her declamation was accurate in its conception, and vivid in it delivery, holding the intense attention of every auditor. It is a very favorable comment on Hiss Freeman to say that her performance made it quite difficult to discriminate, in merit, between the declamations. For Miss Pittman is generally recognized as easily first in anv entertainment in wh ch she appears. Old "Pembnrton Hill'' has been given in Bloomincton many a time before, but Hiss Jos ie made it live again with all the eager interest that ever attached to it. She gave it a new birth. What is more creditable to a declaim-jr? These two declaimations made ns feel iior-

ry, for those who failed to bear them

A series or free lectures arc to be given by the members of the faculty, during the college year, the subjects to be chosen by themselves. The first of the course was deliverlast Tuesday evening by Prof, Branner, subject, Brazil. Those interested in Hesperian Society and college girls will find in another column, a full and reliable account of the exercises held in the College Chapel last Wednesday night. See how the girls society appeared in tbe eye of a feminine critic. -r-The Innes Concert Troup will' appear in the College Chapel next Thursday night. They will be greeted with a large and fashionable audience. If you have not secured a season ticket get one and go. The citizens oi Bloomington ought to patronize the lecture course. The Concert Thursday night will be one of the best things of the year. Prof. Von Jagemann, of Earlham College gave the last Sabbath lecture on the "Manuscripts of the New Testament." The lecture was most scholarly .and instructive, and marks its author as a rare man among scholars. Besides, Prof. Jagemann strikes one as being a Christian gentleman of high character and winning and gentle manners. It is said that the Department of Modern Languages will be divided next year, and that Prof. Jagemann will have charge of the Department of German; the University should be congratulated on the prospect of such an acquisition. Prof. E, A. Bryan.of Vincennes University will deliver the next Sunday afternoon lecture. Subject : "The Roman Character." Albert Bryan is a Bloomington boy, well known here, and we predict a lecture of unusual interest. The Bryan boys generally say something worth hearing. The Theta girls celebrated Halloween at Miss Mattie Rogers', one mile cast of town, last Saturday night. The night was dark and rainy, but they all got there, by the help of tbe May Btlle ; and they all got back in spite of rails and

; rocks, and misplaced culverts along

the road, an hour's hard, wet, dirty work for some of the boys who couldn't go, and who wanted to have a good time. Tbe girls en-

that all present leys and pleasures must

pass to tne sea ot tne irrevocable past. Her assay was pleasing and rythmic, and suggests that peculiar style in some of Irving's best lines, which lulls exertion to sleep, and nurtures that dreamy air which counts mere existence joy. In ber ad

ores to t-ne society, miss Bona indulged

in a tew uasnes ot merriment wnich at I led forth responses of appreeiatian (rem the audience. Her (rood natured raillery at

tnat Hesper regards f hilo as quite biirmless, and Athenian as her chief rival. 5. The Music; To which was dus no small part of tbe entertainment. Mr.

HcCormick sang a solo "The Brave Bugler ;" Hiss Clara Orchard sang "Bonnie Dundee," wbich is always acceptable; Miss Ida Hanley gave, with unaffected grace, what we will venture to call n selection from some Italian aperetta. We never hear these musicians but we want to suggest a musieal organization through

fiower of musical entertainment. .Hiss

In tbe matter of the recount of votes cast for Mayor at the recent municipal election, two reports were Sled. Both reports elect Mr. Denny, Republican. The Republican Commissioners, finding a plurality of Jtwenty-three votes in his favor, aud the Democratic Commissioners giving him a plurality ot nine. In the recount of the second Aldermanic districts two reports were also filed. The Democratic report elects Ripley, Democrat by two votes ; the Republican report elects Pritchard, Republican by one vote. In the latter, a temporary restraining order was dissolved, but what

further action will be taken, has

not yet been determined. There was a large gathering on the south side of the aquare, last Saturday, and all were interested in the efforts of a youth who was persuading a mule. The young man kicked the mule's iribs, struck resounding whacks on the mule's hide with a heavy trace strap, and then twisted the mule's ears. The mule stood firm. "Twist his tail," "scratch his heels." "Tickle bis bind legs," shouted the bystanders. The driver nw seized the bridle and tried with all his might to haul the mule forward into place, but the mule continued firm. While the driver was still tugging at the bridle, an individual who understands mules, chanced to p&ss. "Haul the other way," said he. "Why so?" asked the driver. "Because it's a mule." The driver hauled the other way, and the mule immediately went ahead. ' Says the Bloomfield News : A letter from Rev. J. B. Hamilton,to his daughter, Mrs. M. H. Mayhood, announces his and Mrs. H.'s arrival in Bloomington, lnd. 19th, from

tlieir trip to the Pacific coast. They

left Indiana July 9th, traveling: by

the way of N. P. R. R.s arrived at

Portlaad,X)regen, seven days later. From Portland they weni: by steamboat to La Center, Washington Territory, to visit a son residing there. Of it Mr. Hamilton says, "it is the roughest country I ever saw. Fire was necessary for com

fort mornings and evening, while

overcoats and heavy shawls were in

requisition for going out, but from 12 a. m, to 3 p. m. the mercury

stood at 94 degrees in the shade.

During the sixty days on the wast

there were but two tolerably bright ones. Encountered two heavy thunder storms accompanied with

lightning. The smoke and fog darkened the land, and out on the

Pacific Ocean for a distance of six

ty miles. From Alaska to Sandiego, Southern California, at 4 a. m. the fog covers the Jaml.cauaing a heavy

drizzle which drives from the mountains to the sea and drips from trees

and house roofs like a shower of

rain." Left Portland September 5tb, on the Pacific Ocean steamer, Columbia, were in the fog nearly every hour until we entered the duck at San Francisco. California

was without a green blade or leaf

except where irrigated. In Los Angeles or Anaheim grapu pickers are as wet from the fogs and dew as if dipped in a creek, until 9 or 10 o'clock a. m., when the winds from the oocun begin to blow towards the mountains and the sun dries his cl, thing. When on the homeward journey via tin Southern Pacific R. R. after passing through California, Arizonia, New Mexico and. Colorado, on entering "Green Kansas," a young man from Illinois wakened his companion from his sleep with the joyful exclamation, "Get up, we sre iu Gud's country sgaia."

Hiram Lindley was in Paoli , land-law-suittog, last week. , The ladies of the College Avenue M. E. Church, will give an oyster supper, accompanied with all the delicacies of the season, in the New York Store room, south side of the public square, Tuesday night, November 17th, 1885. The swine growers are now advocating hogs with more lean meat. President Cleveland say9, in reference to applicants, that he "has more pegs than he has holes to put them in." -.The fact should be kept in mind that stock of any kind will fatten much more readily and that it will cost much less to fatten it in the fall season before it becomes very cold. In boring for natural gas at Union City , Randolph county, lnd., prospectors struck "Blue Lick" water at 1,700 feet depth. The water has risen 1,500 feet and the pressure obstructs the drill. Methodist girls are assured by the official journal of their church that they cannot dance without breaking that solemn vow wbich they made at the altar, "in the presence of God and His angels, to renounce the devil and his work." The assertion is further made that truly good Christians are never dancers. The new dog law docs not provide the turning of unappropriated dog funds into the school fund. It' any township trustee shall have more than $50 of a dog fund at his March settlement of each year he rhall turn the surplus over to the county treasurer as a county dog fund. On the second Monday of March the county dog fund shall be distributed,iil be paid out' for nil of

the sheep killed in the county. If

there is not enough deficiency in the township it shall be appropriated and distributed according to the unpaid orders of all the counties. The new bridge law requires the township ta pay for all bridges costing $75 and under, and for bridges costing more than that amount, the residue is to be paid out of the county treasury. As the bridges most be built under the direction of tbe Conimissioners,they will settle for them, pay the contractor out of the county fund, and when Ihe Trustee draws his money at each semi-annual settlement, the bridge amount will be deducted from the proper funds and paid into the county funds. Many of onr readers will remember the Rev. Covey, who about eighteen yearn ago scandalized this portion of the State hy his naughty conduct with the women. The following from the New Albany Ledger would indicate that he had again broken loose: "The Bev. Dr. Covey, many years ago pastor of the Bank street Baptist church, produced a sensation at Dallas, Texas, last week, by running away with a Mrs. Taylor and her children. A Dallas paper says thai. Covy recently came there to locale, leaving his wife and children in Michigan until he could settle upon a place. He lived next door to Mr. Taylor, and while he was alisent in a cotton field won Mrs. Taylor1? affections, and after an acquaintance of a few hours gathered her two youngest of six children and with the woman fled. Taylor, at last accounts, was armed with u shot gun and in pursuit of the preacher." A tooohi ug instance of insect
