Dressed in the garb uf a cox boy, with a large white hat on his head, spurs in the heels of his boots, and curly hair (a wig may be) Hying in gracoful twists down his back, he approached tho said business man, and after inquiring prices of various articles composing his stock, finally ordered a bill of goods, desiring them, so ho said, shipped to Linden, and tendering a chock on some bank for several hundred dollars in payment. The check was for several dollars more than the cost of the goods and tho difference was paid in cash by the aforesaid business man to the swindler, who soon bowed himself out and was goneThe swindle was discovered the next day, but too late, although tho merchant shipped no goods to Linden. It is thought some others in town were taken in by tho sharper, but have thus far concealed thi'ir auger and grief by sayiug nothing.

Warm weather and several rains in localities wero very beneficial to growing crops, and com, oats, clover, timothy, meadows and pasturage look fine. Com is growing very rapidly and is in the best condition.
Most generally tho fields are clear, but in some localities heavy raina prevented cultivation. Oats are in excel] lent condition. They aro heading and turning. In some fields in the northern portion oats havo been prostrated by heavy rains. Clover cutting continued, most of which is cut in localities. Timothy is nearly ready to [cut. Haying continues. MelonB aro doing nicely in the southern portion. BugB in some localities are injuring melons and the squashes. The whoat and rye harvest continued, most of tho rye in shock.

Garden truck and vegetables aro growing nicoly. Early potatoes aro used late potatoos and sweet potatoes are growing nicely.
New fujior For Indianapolis. The silverites say they aro discouraged at tho treatmont accorded them by the press of Indianapolis, and talk of establishing an organ of its own. Negotiations havo been opened with tho German telegraph to publish a morning paper in English, to bo controlled by free silver Democrats, and if these fail, the free s.lver men talk of tho organization of a company, with a capital stock of 8100,000, to publish an afternoon and a morning paper, devoted to Democratic silver interests. The silver men think that if such a papor wero established it would bo supported by the Prohibitionists, Populists, Democrats and Republicans who believe in the free coinage of silver.
Sixty-Five Per Cent, are Ftiilurca. Superintendent. Zuck reports that his record shows that over 65 per cent, of those taking the examination for teachers' license under him during tho last three years have failed. Mr. Zuck holds that if the examinations given out by the State superintendent were cauied .nto strict effoct and the papers closely graded for one year in every county in the State, there would not bo half enough teachers to fill the schools.
I'cople'n Party Meeting. The Populists of Montgomery country and all who aro opposed to a gold standard are requested to meet at Crawfordsville on Saturday, July 11, at 1 o'clock p. m. for the purpose of electing delegates to joint convention.
