Jacob Harshbarger, has sued the Midland railway for $2,000 damages for running upon his farm. If that corportion ever had $2,000 at one time very few ever heard of it, and Mr. H. will lie much oldor than now, we think, befor he gets it.

The receipts of the Washington Tea party, given by the Ladies' Aid Society of the Christian church, Thursday night, were $67, and while the entertainment was unavoidably omitted, it was pleasant and enjoyed by all who attended. Twenty-five dollars of the receipts no toward buying carpets for the Y. M. C. A.

Duriug an eventful hut sad era back in November our esteemed friend, M. Hunter, traveling freight agent for the Monon, left Crawfordsville with the full determination to return and aid iu the approaching jollification, but, like the long lost letter, he never came until Friday. His many friends forgot the struggle for supremacy and received hiin with open arms, but. with all their friendly feelings Hunter can never forget the Waterloo of 1888.

The Juuior class, of Wabash College, had a little hatchet, not the one that George hacked, his papa's peach tree with but a hatchet in proxy for that one, to present to the successful contestant in the debato Tuesday night, and would you believe it some student, who of course did not belong to '91 stole that little hatchet, and like Mother Hubbard who r/ent to the cupboard tho poor Juniors had none.

The boys showed that thev were in for some fun and did it in a manner that, could not he censured, as were the acts of some of the classes of past.

The company's immense houses at the lake have a capacity of about 1,500 cars which will be shipped from time to time during the coming summer. This means sixty trains of ice at a rate of twenty-five cars to the train, or if it was all put into one train would be ten miles long. By these figures it will be easier to conceive how much this business amounts to.

His wife is a beautiful singer. Nella F. Brown's recitations were tho cause of mauy an encore, while Rudolph King, as an accompanist, has no superior. They gave a good entertainment Tho few present appreciated it, and, in the language of Mr. Emerson, all were perfectly satisfied.
