THS next annual address before the Associated Alumni of Wabash College will be delivered by Col. W. C. Wilson, of Lafayette.
FUXKRAL SERMON.—Rev. James II. Johnston preached the funeral sermon of Dr. W. L. Spilman at Centre Church last Sabbath afternoon at 4 o'clock.
ABSENT.—President Tuttle is attending the commencement excises of Marietta College this week. We understand he contemplates a trip to the Rocky Mountains during the summer vacation.
CORRECTION.—In last week's issue we did C. A. Young, Esq., an injustice, by saying that he received the third prize at the declamations. He come in second best, receiving the second prize.
LOCUSTS.—The locusts have made an inglorious exit. Their brief visit was attended with feelings of general disgust, and everybody seems well pleased at their early departure.
WOOL.—We have noticed several lots of wool brought in from the country during the past week. About six hundred thousand pounds will be the wool crop of Montgomery couuty this year. This is one of the largest yields ever known in the county.
HARVEST.—Many farmers expect to commence cutting their wheat in a day or two. The crop looks promising, and will undoubtedly prove to be a big thing. Oats and grass also bid fair to be heavy, whilst the young corn is pushing along fiucly.
OFFICERSOFTHE ASSOCIATED ALUMNI.— The following were the officers chosen by the Associated Alumni of Wabash College at their rccent annual meeting, to serve the ensuing year: President, Dr. J. F. Tuttle Vice President, Judge J. M. C^wan Secretary, Prof. W. C. White Treasurer, John ,M. Butler, Esq.
MUSIC.—Whilst at Lafayette last week we were shown thro\igli the new music store of J. W. Richards, at the south-east corner of Milwaukee block. lie has on hands a variety of the best makes of pianos, inelodcons, organs, Ac., and a full supply of sheet music. Any of our friends in need of an instrument will do well to give him a call.
THE ROCKVILLE REPUBLICAN.— This staunch Republican paper comes to us enlarged and otherwise materially improved. It is now one of the largest papers in the State, and although old Parke rolls up a handsome Republican majority, yet we trust that the Republican may be the means of increasing that majority.
AN old-fashioned celebration at Craw fordsvillc the 4th.
STILL LINGERING.—Quite a number of the students are still in the city, rejoicing the hearts and filling the pockets of our livery men. "Parting is such sweet sorrow," you know, they can't find it in their hearts yet to say the little word "Farewell.'' The "boys" did their duty well during the last year, and we have no inclination—nor their lady friends, either, so far as we have heard—to hurry them oft'.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Our "Railway" press having been out of order for several weeks, the JOURNAL has been printed on the press of the Jievieic- We hereby re-» turn our thanks to Mr. Bowen and the attaches of that office for their promptness in running off our edition at the time wanted. -We also congratulate our neighbor on the fact that &ood Republican reading can be printed on his press, and hope he may sec the error of his way, and print more of the same kind—in the columns of his paper!
Our cylinder press, having been properly overhauled and "set up" by a machinist from Messrs. Hoe & Co.'s establishment at Boston, is now O. K., and we trust in future that the JOURNAL will be delivered to our town subscribers early Thursday morning.
THE WABASH MAGAZINE.—The Wabash Magazine for the past term has been laid on our table by the publishers. As usual it is filled brim full of good reading. The contents arc: Memories of tlig,4-'Mss of 1868, by J. E. Cowan The Prayer, by Theodore Tilton Crinoidal Banks of Crawfordsville, by Prof. E. O. Hovey Irish Suffrage in the United States, by E. R.

COME to Crawfordsville the 4tli.

Joe. White is putting Washington street in good trim. Dr. R. Geo. English has sold his residence to T. H. Messick.
The schools in this place will close this week for the summer vacation.

Spooks says a man in town whaled his wife on Wednesday morning for asking him to get her a new bonnet,
A Kansas editor has been making a terrible blow about an ear of corn raised by J. S. Kelsey of that State, which had 1040 grains on it. Samuel B. Forgey, of Scott Township, Montgomery county, Indiana, laid on our table the other day an ear that had 1,166 grains and weighed one pound. Put'thatin your pipe and smoke it. w- The Masonic celebration on Wednesday "was a success. There was a large concourse of
people in attendance. The ceremonies at .. the

GALEY'S icc cream is good, the best in town. We've tried it. Go thou and do likewise.
VEGETABLES.—Early potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, string beans, etc., have made their apearance in Crawfordsville in violation of the corporation laws—they arc high.
FOR NEW YORK.—About twenty of our citizens started on a trip for New York last Tuesday morning. They were mostly business men, taking advantage of the low fare to that Metropolis during the Demccratic Convention.
W see that the Lafayette Journal has placed in its ticket the name of our candidate for Circuit Prosecutor, R. B. F. Peirce, Esq. We are glad to know that our friend Peirce is so popular outside of his circuit, but we fail to see the advantage of haVing Tippecanoe Republicans vote for him
CORRECTION.—In the sale of Real Estate on the outside of to-day's issue, by Jonn S Brown, Commissioner, the lot should be located in Sui/dam's addition to Crawfordsville. "Snyder" has no addition to the city —at least our friend G. W. hasn't he's been too long in the newspaper business.
NEW FIRM.—Our young friends Brush and McCormick have opened a law office, opposite the Post Office, and are now ready to give their legal services to any one needing them. They are young men of legal proficiency and enterprise, and in every way honest and trustworthy. We commcnd them to public confidence and patronage.
COME to Crawfordsville the 4th.
CHICAGO EVENING POST.—Attention is called to the advertisement of the Chicago 1'ost in to-day's JOURNAL. The Post is one of the best papers in the Northwest, and by far the spiciest afternoon paper outside of New York. Politically, it is radically right. Those who want a Chicago paper will get more than their money's worth in the "«/.
LUUK OUT.—Those boys and men who are in the habit of tearing down and defacin posters had better be on the look-out else the law may overtake them in their low, mean, contemptible work. The State fine is $10, the city fine same amount. If they have not $20 in "rags" to spare, they had as well hereafter engage in more honorable business.
ST. JOHN'SDAY AT LADOGA.—The various Masonic lodges of this couuty celebrated the 24th at Ladoga, with appropriate ceremonies and a full attendance. Every lodge in the county was represented, besides large numbers from Greencastlc and other points outside. Elder M. 1?. Hopkins, of Ladoga, delivered the oration, in the beautiful grove north-east of town. Installation of officers, music and a bountiful repast on the shady lawn, concluded the day.
FOR EUROPE.—W. F. Elston, Esq., bade farewell to his numerous friends in this city last Tuesday evening bound for New York, from which point he expects to sail in about two weeks for the Old World. He intends to be gone about two years, during which time he will visit many places of note on the other side of the waters. Good-bye, Frank, and may the blessing of heaven be with you in your travels, and a safe return be yours to enjoy.
THE COMING 4TII.—Arrangements have been perfected for the celebration on the coming 4tli. The committees have left nothing undone that will add to the days' pleasure. Gen. Lew. Wallace and Thomas Patterson, Esq., have been selected as orators of the day John W. Ramsey as reader of the Declaration of Independence, and Geo. McWilliams as reader of Washington's Farewell Address. T. M. Robbins, Esq., has been appointed Chief Marshal, with Joseph Simpson, W. P. Britton, Joseph Insley, Bruce Carr, James II. Watson, Jr., and James Wright as assistants. The assistants are requested to report to their chief at 8 o'clock at the livery stable of Robbins & Cadwalader.
ST. CHARLES EXHIBITION.—The exhibition given under the direction of the Sisters of the Holy Cross, by the young ladies of St. Charles Academy, on last Monday evening, was a complete succcss. McClelland's Hall was filled to repletion with the youth and beauty of the city, and notwithstanding the extreme licat, everything passed off in a most satisfactory manner. The pupils of the Academy have made rapid improvement during the ten weeks the school has been in operation, and the patrons and friends of the school could but feel proud that succcss has crowned the efforts of the managers in the cause of education. To speak of the exhibition in detail we could not, as it would require more space than we can at present devote. Suffice it to say that the exhibition upon the whole was good, very good. We hope to see them repeated often. ...

TOWN TRIFLES.
•iv .••. "Trifles, light as air." "Commencement week" has past, and more than the Trifler are "right down glad of it." Such a time as the folks had! How the women did fuss around! The old ones making cakcs and pies, and other goodies for "company"—and of course nothing was half done it never is, you know, when one i9 in a hurry, and wants to put one's best foot foremost! The young women-folks, too, were sorely tried to get just enough starch in—such articles of dry goods as are usually starched quite perplexed to fix that little ribbon exactly as it should be to look "captivating their patience was almost exhausted. But it's over now. The occurrences of the week—the little-or-noth-ings of social converse—the flirtations beneath the leaves of the Campus trees—and much more, now belong to Memory. May we hope that they will be recurred to by each as silvery waves life's ebb and flow Perhaps in future years thoughts of the occasion will cause "The heart to cast its spray to the eve." Who knows? Much has been said in the JOURNAL concerning the exercises of the week, but the Trifler must be allowed to compliment, the young gentlemen of the Senior Class. The part they bore on the occasion was creditable in the highest degree, not only to themselves, but to their Alma Mater. Success to them, and may each, in the words inscribed on the tablet of the old church on the Rhine, "go forward and meet the future without fear and with a manly heart." —The Trifler found the annexed note in his P. O. box the other evening, enclosed in a dainty little envelope, sealed at the end just like a package of "Trix." He opened it carefully—inwardly hoping some of his lady friends had taken advantage of the 29 February days and invited him out to ice cream, etc., but found it to read thus: MR. PERRY WINKLE—
Why is it that vou and all the men are continually making fun of the ladies' bonnets, and other articles of dress? We can scarcely pick up a paper without rendin some piece about our bonnet s, our dresses, our gaiters, our hoops, or some other article of our apparel. It seems as if the editors could find something to print, without printing pieces about what we wear. 1 wonder if it is really any of you men's business what we girl's and women wear? I have been reading Town Trifles every week, but I won't do so any more if you are to be always talking about, what we wear on our heads. SUSIE SOMEBODY.
Compliments of PERRY WINKLE, T. T., to Miss SUSIE SOMEBODY, with his regrets that she won't read Trifles any more. However, he'll wager that she looks for Trifles in this week's JOURNAL before she does the marriages! P. W. thinks the rca son that "the men are continually making fun" of what are by courtesy called bonnets is, that the ladies have rendered themselves liable to be made sport of by wearing such ridiculous head gear as has been "fashionable" these last few years. The time was when a lady's head was covered, but that was in days remote. If their heads :ire covcred these days, it is by a "waterfall," or an.artiele of some such outlandish nonien clature. It is to be hoped, however, that a Millenium is approaching in the fashiona blc world, when the reign of common sense will be ushered in. —To read the "July Fashions," which the Trifler finds in Mile. Demorest's Monthly, one would think that Millenium is a long way off:
The prettiest toilers are always "whitewhite nt'gue or muslin in the morning, white grenadine, organdie, tulle, or gauze in the evening.
White grenadine dresses are cut with a train and without lining, over gored and flounced underskirts. The body is cut in one with the skirt, and trimmed* with blue, mauve or green silk, edged with crumped fringe. The side sasli is trimmed to match, and very often used to tic up the immense train in panniers over the bustle attached to the hoop skirt behind.
Some hoop skirts are made with a bustle, as they arc now called, en panniers that is to say, short springs are bowed over the back, and sometimes upon the sides, so as to form a base upon which the panniers rest, and which shape them. [Jo COSE says the "panniers" arc a good thing, if properly constructed—saving the trouble and annoyance of carrying a basket when going to market or shopping.]
Ruffles are the universal trimming this season, and they are especially pretty upon all thin dresses. Upon muslins, grenadines and bareges, nothing is so pretty as ruffles, cross cut, and only a little full, as the fashion is.
In grenadines they are sometimes bound with a contrasting color, and sometimes edged with narrow fringe in muslin they are simply hemmed.
Trains are worn as long as ever but it is not wise to make thin dresses quite so long as rich silks—sufficiently long to be graceful is best.
The bodies are worn the natural length are not so short as last year. A great deal of fullness is massed together in the trained skirt behind, but they are still gored, front and sides.
In short walking dresses only enough fullness is allowed to give ease around the bottom of the skirt.
The little Marie Antoinette Jichu and its twenty different variations are the almost universal finish to simple summer toilets, and, though its effect is rather narrow and restricted yet its neatness, and a certain fresh quamtness, constitute a relief for its plainness.
The jichu effect is often given to jackets by arrangement of trimming, which is extremely prcttv, and there is a cape with hood attached which is much admired, and, in conjunction with the wide sash with its fringed and ornamented ends behind, forms a very dressy and elegant garment.
When the Jichu is worn over trained dresses, the cuds arc longer and wider than when tied at the back of a short dress. In the lace or tullo, it is fashionably worn by married ladies over low-necked evening dresses. —The "Saengerlest" of the Locusts has entirely ceased, save here and there a stray bugler who seems to have failed to receive due notice to yield up the ghost. All around under the trees the dead and dry forms of the musicians lie "qnwept, uuhouored and unsung"—except the last as to the singing, they did that for themselves before they died. TUcy fulfilled their mission, which was to lay countless millions of eggs for another crop of locusts. The eggs left in the branches of the trees will soon be hatched, and falling to the ground, will remain beneath the surface in the pupa state until the appointed time for their resurrection seventeen years from now. —If you pass a house at eleven o'clock at night and sec a young man and a young lady standing inside the front door, and you hear something smack like a horse polling his foot o\^ o|" ^e. n^d, is reasonable to suppose tho young man lives there? The Trifler thinks not, and the young gentleman who visits a house 6% squares from the court house should get farther inside the door when he's at that business. —Saturday is the "glorious Fourth," and a huge time is anticipated in our town. It is expectcd that everybody in the county who can will come, and arrangements are making accordingly It is to be no formal celebration, tut a real good old-fashioned timespeeches, reading of the Declaration, a barbecue dinner, music from horns, drums and fifes reports frpln c^iuioiis, p^o^s, guns aid fire trackers' lemonade (with and without a "fly") will be drank balloons will be sent up, and no telling what else, though rumor says the "Earthquake" will be on hand, and that there will be a chicken
fight in the court house yard in the afternoon, an unusual spectacle, and one which will be "nuts" for the small boys. If the day is favorable, there is no doubt but the town will look as bright as a pretty girl's face washed with buttermilk. Our country faiends should come in and help us town people make a noise, and have fun. —"To New York" is the talk about town just now. Many intend to avail themselves of the reduction of fare occasioned by the assembling of the Democratic Convention, and visit the metropolis. When this is being read, among those "rattling over the rails" en route for Manhattan, will be Jo COSE, GUY b. QUTUS, and
PERRY WINKLE, Town Trifler.
THE BURRESS HOUSE, LEBANON.—Those of our readers who visit our neighboring town of Lebanon., will find the Burress House, kept by Mr. William Burress, just the place to find all the comforts that a tired and hungry traveler wants to find in a good hotel. His beds are as down, clean and inviting to one who wishes to woo "nature's kind restorer and on his table may be found everything to tempt the appetite, excellently cooked. In short Burress knows how to keep hotel. AVc only wish, for the benefit of the traveling public, that there were more like liim.
TnE fact is, no man will do anything such weather as this that he can put off to another time.—Indianapolis Evening Commercial.
Yes he would. He'd eat ice cream or kiss a pretty girl, if it was twice as hot.—Sentinel.
If what was twice as hot? The ice cream or the pretty girl
