The fact pricked him to the heart as no words oi the minister could, and the nex day he made his wife sell her cow and buy new clothes, but finally eloped with the preacher's daughter, who was a handsomer woman. Out of evil had come good.

The county commissioners will meet at the Auditor's office this week to straighten up Elijah Todd's books aud receive the bond of the new Trustee. Tbe appointment of Mr. Sciscoe is a very happy solution of a somewhat difficult problem. Tbe new proprietor of thi! "Model" grist mill has removed to Jas. Morgan's house on east 6th street.

While Mr. Burbank was in Evansville recently he met Mrs. Dunning, and he says she protested against a monument being erect ed over her husband's grave here, as she claims that it is her intention to have the remains removed to Evansville just as soon as ahe can perfect the arrangements.
