A daily paper verysuccintly tellsof the great battle of this week, the result of which was telegraphed around the I world in less than one hour after the tight was over, in its headlines: "Ho knocks out Mitchell in the third with a terrific right-hander in the face. The Briton comes to earth with a dull thud and is limp for two minutes. Under the reviving influence of the bottle, the vanquished pug pulls himself together, with the cheering words, 'It's all over.' Amid wild enthusiasm the world's champion smiles one of his best and givos his friends both his right and left. Arrest of the two pugilists, who give bail."

Tho leave of absence of Dr. West and wife from Singapore, East Indi»s. expires tho first of March, but by reason of the time of year Mr. West will ask for a three month's extension, so as to leave here about tho first of June.

Orawfordsville—Main Street Depot! Tho above will bo tho euphoneous cry of the stoical brakemen as the Monon passenger trains stop to let off and off the travelingpblicis this city before many months have rolled away. Since the first side of THF. REVIKW waB put to press we have learned that the prospects for a new passenger station are decidedly good. In the languago of Mr. Clark, the city agent of the road, "The outlook for a new passenger station iB more favorable now than at anytime since the question has been agitated. In fact I may say it is almost an assured thing. And when it is completed, it will be a building ot which the city may well be proud. "I have," he continued "been hammering away on the question ever since I was stationed here. Finally Mr. Hall, chief engineer of tho road, felt that I was overdrawing the situation, and 1 thereupon referred him to Judge A. D. Thomas who wrote back in reply that tho 'half haB not been told.' Since then the matter has progressed nicely so that now it is expected that work on tho now building will be commenced early in the spring.
Mr. Clark further informs us that tho city will bo asked to make a slight concession, which will certainly bo granted when tho proposition is named. It will be a sort of an exchange of courtesies, as it were. Tho city some time since asked the company for tho privilege of constructing a sewer on the right of way from a point near the Junction, north and to open out in the ravine Just north of the Market street crossing. In the way or reciprocity tho company feel that tbey should bo given the right to make a slight encroachment on the city's property to the extent of about five feet of Elston avenue, on which tho new station would be built. It is proposed to place the new building in tho triangle formed by tho company's track,
Main street and Elston avenue. They will be a little crowded for room, and as the avenue named is not a much traveled thoroughfare any way, tho city 'will most assuredly grant the concession asked.
The new passenger station will bo rimply a beauty, as Mr. Clark nas indicated. It will probably be Romanesque in point of architecture and be constructed of pressed brick and Bloomington stone, it will have an elevation of at least four feet above tho track so that tho waiting room windows will be on a level with tho car windows. So far as wo have been able to gatherof tho details, there will be two waiting rooms, a tickct office, baggage room, lavatories, etc., in fact every accoutrement that goes to make up a model station throughout. Neat and spacious baywindows, affording a full view of the train will bo set in the waiting rooms fronting the track.
It is a waste of words for us lo exploit ou the necessity of such an acquisition, both to the city tjnd the road. It has been talked of too much already some decided action is what is now needed. It would, without doubt, greatly popularize the road with the traveling public, csuecially to Lafayette and intermediate points, as the Vaudalia has been capturing a largo amount of this travel lately, and this is partly thought due to the shameful location and character ofc tho present depot. A prominent citizen said in our hearing tho other day that he could no bet hired to walk to the old depot to take the midnight trains for fear of being sand-bagged on the way. With handsome residences surrounding and the Elston grove, a beau tiful study for tho sojourner, near by, what lustrikiug contrast with the pres.' ei location! Much more might be said in favor of the change in fact .'verything might be said of it. S-
Is Marriage a Failure?
Th? attention of the Democrat has been'called to the fact that no marriage licenses havo been issued at our County j:,Clerk's office for four days past, which is an unusual lull in the matrimonial market circle. Our informant, attributes this condition largely to the character and effect of the circuit court proceedings of this week, having been devoted lo the investigation and unraveling of marital misfits and scandals, which have called a halt on the part of those contemplating taking so grave a step as that of assuming the marriage relation and responsibilities.- Brazil

School house No .'j, of Franklin township, burnod Thursday night, was insured by A. S. Clements in tho Home of New York. There was £300 on the building and $40 on the furniture.
There is yet no apparent improvement in the condition of John R. Courtney. Dr. West was over at Indianapolis Wednesday to see him, and although John talks rational at times, yot he does not seem to realize his condition. Ho imagines that ho is in a poor houso away off somewhere outside tho state of Indiana. Ho recognizod Mr. West, but his mind wanders and ho can only, converse on one subject but a short time.

"DON'T GIVE UP THE SIIIP.''
The Oannin?- factory Enterprise Should
Still be Affitated.
There is too much interest manifest in the canning factory enterprise to givo up tho matter entirely yP.t. Hardly a day paspes but what we aro called upon to answer that most difficult question as to whether the factory will not yet bo established. There inquiries- come from remote parts of tho county, showing that tho people havo faith in the enterpriseas a payiug investment, and that thef are only too willing to furnish tho products necessary to keep a factory i& constant operation during the canning season. It seems, however, that upon a careful review of the history of past stock: companies in this county that som© other plan will be more acceptable and in all probability give bettor rfturnB OD tho capital invested.
John M. Shultz of the Investment bank informs THK RKVMCW that John Aught and Walter Uritton, owners of the creamery plant on south Grantavenue, have expressed their willingness to turn tho building into a canning factory and let it represent so much stock in the now enterprise, 'lhe power, anil it is thought a large amount of tho fixtures of the creamery could be improvised for the purpose of tho new factory. By this arrangement vory little capital would be required to complete theoutfit. It ought to bo raised by any one or two individuals.
Mr. Aught is a capable business mail of some means who sometime sinco moved hore from Toledo, Ohio. At present ho is opcratiug a saw mi'l near \ountsville. If the canuing factory enterprise is not established, he contemplates converting tho creamory into a trunk factory, a branch of manufacture in which ho has had long experience. Those who aro desirous of seeing tho canning factory established, should givo Messrs. Aught and Britlon all the encouragement possible. The enterprise ought to be established ou eomo kind of a basis, and that very soon,
