the Professor to the ground. The animal then dashed up against the cruel barbs on the fence and was badly cut on his fore-legs, breast, and his entire right side. O. E. Foster of White Hall

DEATH
OF REV. BRYAN.
JOHN
Saturday aizht a week, at 11 o'clock
Rev. John Bryun died at his home an
east Second street.
In many respects sir. Bryan was a re.
markable man, and, at the hour of his
death, I think his life is worth more tban
a passing notice by the people of Bloom
ington, among whom he lived for more
than a generation.
iter. Bryan was horn in Heaver county,
Pennsylvania, 1811. He was thus 76
years old last August. He graduated
from Jefferson College, Pennsylvania, in
180, studied Theology in the seminary at
Uanonsburg, Fa., and was licensed to

coming to a poor congregation at on third the salary he had been offered else
where. Thirty-live years ago what
now the united rresbyterlait congregation was divided into. three parts: The
Associate Reformed, Rev. W. Turner,
pastor, their church being one mile west
of town ; tne Associate, or "Seceaer
church. Rev. Bryan pastor: and the Re
formed Presbyterian, Professor T. A. Wy
lio, pastor. I quote from a late History
of the United Presbyterian Congregation
"The Associate Congregation was orgs
nized in the fall of 1831, by the Rev. Jus
Templeton. In 1836 It was reorganized
by Rev. Jas. Henderson, with twenty-four r r- - i: " i )
mcniDers, oi wnoin lour were ruling Bluer, Sumuel Wylie, Andrew Roddy, Robert Gourley, and John McKisnock. From

Bryan's family are still living. Mr. Bry an was their pastor till 1861, when he re.
signed, that his congregation might form a union with the Associato Reformed
church. In these few years, he labored
earnestly, diligently and faithfully in n
laving his ohureh. In this short time
his membership increased by 100 per cent.
and to his planting and watching we ara
considerably indebted for our harvest to
day." From 1S81 to 1881 Mr. Bryan was
Home Missionary in the U. P. church
Since 1881, he has been as invalid at horn

The ladies who were so badly
injured by the collision of freight trains near Horseshoe Bend last
spring have accepted a compromise,
the railroad giving Mrs. Absalom Corder $2,200, and Mrs, Noah

draw $24 per month regularly here
after. These little "incidents"
have much to do with making bus

On the morning of Oct. 12th
Mrs. Lizzie B. Gordon was married to Mr. Tbos. J. Young, at the resi

A Visit to Polk. Township. Last week Supt. Craven visited
the schools in Polk township, and to a Progress reporter, he gave the
following intoresting account :
"There are in Monroe county one
hundred and seventeen teachers,
who require for the accommodation
of themselves and their pupils ninety-floor buildings. Polk tp. has
eight school bouses, witn an equal
number of teachers. The first school
visited was at Allen's Creek. Hiram Jeffers is teacher,' and has an enrollment of 33, The next school
was Chapel Hill, Miss Mary E
Kinser teacher, who has an enroll
ment of 43. The next was tne
Blaekwell or Todd school, Samuel
Smallwood teacher, who has an en
rollment of 31. The next was the
Tan Yard school, Frank Normanv
teacher, who has an enrollment of
26, The next was the Hunter's Creek school. Miss Nannie Norman
teacher, who has an enrollment 01
33. The next was the Kubmson school, Miss Jennie Hanson teacher,
who has an enrollment oi 12. Ibe
next was the Saddle Creek school,
Miss Pollie B. Armbruster teacher,
who has an enrollment of 16. The next and last is the Burgoon school,
E. C. Gilstran teacher, who baa an
enrollment of 23. This attendance
is considered larger than itever has
been before at this time of the year.
The people ot Polk were very hos
pitable, and are well pleased witn
their teachers. They talk of put-
tine in oaten t seats in all their
school buildings. This a move in the right direction a dollar thus spent is always worth one hundred r r , .am i, L.l
cents. The teacaere 01 roiK new their Institute last Saturday, and had an interesting time.
White river 18 fast blling up with German carp. They have been caught by the hundreds in the river this year, some of them weighing at least five pounds. If the naughty boys would let them alone, in a vear or two there would be
millions of them large enough to
eat. The cat-fish in the river are becoming nearly extinct, and very
few bass have been caught this
year. Muncie Times,
A new swindling scheme has
mad its appearance. It is called the "suectaole racket." Two men
take in the country towns, one sty!
ing himself a partner: of some well
known city occulist. They tell the
people that they need glasses, and examine the eyes and "prescribe" a
pair of apectacles for $2. The glasses are worth less than 25 cents.
Nearly all the northern papers

men." It has remained for some
young meu in Americtis, Ga,, to say what tho costume should b They recently petitioned tho City Couucil tlint, on account of the heal, they might, he allowed to wear "Mother Hubbard."
