Corn Again.

Why is it that the price of corn is lower now than it was some weeks ago Has or could tho election have had any such effect? That the election could have no such effect is evident to every man of ordinary capacity- and common honesty. As wo stated last week no law has been passed, the distilleries arc still in operation, the entire present corn' crops will have been used up before any law can possibly be brought into operation. Can any one, then, explain u's has been affiimed by some of the Old Liners, how it is that the election has lowered the price of coi AN now propose to examine the subject somewhat more minutely than we did last week.

Man Killed.

On Tuesday night last the Northern passenger train ran over an Irishman, cutting off one leg above the knee, and so crushing the other that he died in the course of three hours. He was seen during the afternoon in a state of intoxication, and when struck by the train was on the bridge which spans the deep ravine just at the Depot, It was dark and the engineer was unable to see

Thus has another man fallen a victim to the accursed traffic. No blame whatever can be attached to the engineer or officers of the road. The blood of the victim rests °y upon those who, knowing his appetites, sold or gave him the liquor. Js it right thai a traffic producing such results should be kept tip that a few men may get a cent or two more on the bushel of Corn Will the sin.ill increase, if there be an increase, compensate for the tears and blood and agony which are wrung from the hearts of those who suffer in consequence of others drinking? What wife would sell her husband's sobriety for a few additional dollars on his crop of Corn? What parent would r, barter his child's temporal and eternal good for two or ten cents advance on the bushel of Corn What patriot, what

philanthropist would desire his own pecu- I 7 niary prosperity at the sacrifice of the life 5= and happiness of his neighbors and frieuds?| u_ 11 1 IC liquor traffic, cries tile u!slillu 11in the liquor traffic, '-n'liOCft ihe I li j.i 0

jt^'The friends of the K. A. .S. It. li. will regret to learn that Mr. "SYjr. C. YAXCE has resigned his place as Station Agent at the Crawfordsville Depot. Tho salary heretofore paid liiui was not a sufficient compensation for his services, and he cannot afford to remain at the present rate of wages. It is the universal testimony that Mr. Yance has discharged his duties prompt-

the road. His Station

has been kept up remarkably well, every possible accommodation has been extended to the community, which induces a general desire for his continuance. Eew men can be found who can fill his place ami transact the business of the Station with so general satisfaction. "Wo trust the Directors will at once offer Mr. Yance such induccnients as to secure his services. it is far better for the road and all con-cc-rned to have good officers with good salaries, than inferior officers with low salaries.
