HARVEST.—The wheat harvest is now over. The hearts of the farmers arc made glad by the abundant yield of their crops. The crop in this county is said to be heavier than it has been for a number of years. We may look soon for a general revival of all kinds of trade, and the people be able to meet their demands promptly. The people, indeed, have cause for great rejoicing.

A GOOD THING.—The best thing we have seen during the "heated term" is the huge fan which is in constant motion at the Planing Mill and Furniture Factory of "Wni. Robertson & Co. It is propelled by a band and pulleys extending from their "steam fixtures," and being placed in the center of the room the workmen in every part receive the benefit of "air in motion."

.ETNA INSURANCE COMPANY.—"WE call the attention of our readers to the 08tli semi-annual expose of this sterling old company such a company is a substantial benefit to any community. Prudence, that impels persons to insure their property, should make them careful to avoid companies on account of cheap rates, to save a few dollars in the premium, they run the risk of policies proving worthless. This old time-honored company will not try to compete with cheap-rate companies, but will always be ready to cover risks at remunerative rates. Get your dwellings, barns and stocks insured by all means. James Heaton, Sr., their agent for this city, is one of our most experienced and accommodating business men.

TOWN TRIFLES.

"Trifles, light as air."

A lauy correspondent of the Trifler, in a nice little note thanking him for his "baby talk" of last week, sends him the following with a request that lie publish. Ite clieer-

fully

coml,1,c*»

remarking that every motli-

or will appreciate them—if she's in a good humor with baby: f" NO BABY IN T1IK 1IOUSK.

No bnby in the house, I know— 'Tis far too nice and clean No tops by carcless fingers strewn

Upon the floor arc seen No finger marks are on the pnncs, No scratches on the chairs No wooden meu set up ill rows.

Or marshaled-off in pairs No little stockings to be darned, All ragged at the toes

No pile of mending to be done, Made up of baby clothes No little trouble to be soothed,

No little hands to fold No «riniy Angers to be washed, No stories to be told No tender kissas to be given.

No nicknames, 'Love' and 'Mouse No merry frolics after tea— No baby in the house.

fler refers to, that celibacy is not particularly advantageous in a sanitary point of view bachelors may go mad more frequently, and "kick the bucket"' a little sooner than married men, but it is an old saying, you know, that "whom the gods love die young," and there are some who think forty years of bachelor life fully cqu .l to the four score and ten which is allotted as the extent of connubial bliss. But whether celibacy is promotive of longevity or the reverse, good authority states it to be advantageous to the development of the mental powers, whatever Mitclilet's L'Amour says to the contrary, notwitlistonding. Lord Bacon, who ought to know, and as he was a mvrried mail should be an unpredjudiccd witness, testifies to the fact. Maeauley, however, says Bacon was an old scalawag. But old father Socrates surely is a competent, witness. He also was a married man, and notwithstanding the "amiable" character of his spouse, -Xantippe, he does not seem to have formed a very exalted notion of the pleasures of matrimony, for, on one occasion, being asked by a man whether he would advise him to marry or not, Socrates is said to have replied, "whichever you do you will repent it." Diogenes—he of the "tub"—is scarcely a fair witness, as his views of life were confessedly somewhat cynical, but his opinion has the advantage of being more positive. In reply to the same question put to Socrates, he is reported to«Jiave answered: "A young man ought not to marry yet and au old man not at all." It is feared thai Diogenes was a worse scalawag than Bacon. He seems to have been a regular old "free love" advocate. In fact, the Trifler suspects lie was the founder of that sect at least he will do very well to father it, as his opinions seem to be in exact accordance with the modern followers of that doctrine. He has the advantage over his modern desciples however, in that he only preached, while they, rumor says, chiefly practice. But, laying aside authority, the Trifler thinks the bachelors can show as good au array of talent, in proportion to numbers, as married men. He does not profess any great familiarity with the lives and lores of the great past: but the Trifler thinks Irving and Hume, and Gibbon and Locke and St. Paul, ind—and—and all the rest of thegreat bachelors will compare favorably in intellect with the softer side. —Seeing the advertising catch-word, "Ties" in a Washington street window, reminds the Trifler that ties differ. There is the necktie—an article gentlemen are supposed to know something of. It's a good thing in its place, but it's place isn't directly under the ears-andnose—nor is it healthy when it is arranged in the form of a noose at the end of a rope and produces a choking sensation. Then there is he tie of love—a tic the ladies all want to know something of. The liighty-tic is a sort of cross between an exclamation of surprise and a whole domestic lecture in a nutshell. A tie for life is a desperately good thing, or a desperately something else and sometimes very inconvenient to be tied down to, without a chance to loosen up the matrimonial tie. In short, there is a numerous progeny of etceteras that arc not good to "tic to"—especially bad habits, bad women and bad whisky. —The Trifler must confess that he is disappointed in the small amount of buiiuing that is going on this summer. He made an excursion around town a few days ago to note what was going on, and found but three new houses under process of erection and one old one being remodeled. Such does not speak well for progress—there is a screw loose perhaps tlio Democracy arc right when they say we have bondholders among us. Building houses to rent will afford better interest than 5:20's. Our fair city should go ahead. Put forth the powers that this community can well wield, and it will lead to augmented population and a higher prosperity. But sleep lazily upon its oars and adopt the fatalistic theory, that what has been will be, and it takes a man of no ordinary grasp of thought to see that its trade will slip away and be diverted to new channels, dug out in the march of the events of a changeful world. —"The show" has come and gone, and it wasn't any "great shakes" after all! liutit drew a crowd, and the Trifler was pleased to sec the great desire on the part of parents that their children should embrace the opportunity to study natural history. It was astonishing how large a number of prominent pillars of the various churches had children who "wanted to see the elephant" —the little baby elephant! Their notion of getting their money's worth by remaining to exhibit to the children the "immoralities of the circus" was good! "The children" were highly pleased! —Writing of the show reminds the Trifler that he saw on the ground that day a strange musical machine, carried by a dark-looking

Italian which, by the turning of a crank put three or four little hammers in motion, from watching the methodical movements of which the crowd were supposed to derive so much gratification, that it could only be expressed by the donation of an illimitable number of five and ten cent "checks," thrown into a tin box, thoughtfully handed around at intervals by the dark-looking Italian, to allow the bystanders to relieve their overcharged feelings of gratitude to him because of his making the machine talk "Old Dog Tray," "Rally 'round the flag," &e. The Trifler asked a small boy the name of the strange instrument, and infernal machine of the foreign, man, and discovered that it was known among the boys by the title of "hurdy-gurdy" or "grind organ," and is much thought of by the younglings of a small age because, doubtle««, of the

attraction which the novel and horrible always presents to the wayward and misgoverned fancy of youth. —""Who is Perry "Winkle?" is a question often asked, but seldo'ni answered. A lady told the Trifler the other day that she "knew aha'f dozen that wern't Perry Winkle," but "she didn't, know who was!" Of course she will know now—but P. W. hopes she won't tell anybody. Perry "Winkle is Perry "Winkle—for further particulars inquire of the editors of the JOURNAL. I PKRRY "WINKLE,* 'Town Trifler.

(JUIET.—During harvest time Crawl'ordsville was as quiet as a grave-yard.

JOINT DISCUSSION.—We have been shown a letter by Thos. Patterson Esq., from Thos. F. Davidson, the Democratic elector for this District, stating that a joint discussion would take place between himself and R. AY. Harrison, the Republican candidate for elector, in this city on the fith day of August, at ~y. o'clock, P. M. As a matter of course it is expected that Democrats and Republicans will be in attendance.

—From babies to the defense of bachelors is a queer leap, but the Trifler makes it. lie has just read in a popular magazine a lengthy and elaborate essay on the influence of mar-' riage on the health, sanity and longevity of the male sex, which from its tone we judge Xew Haven, Conn., devoted entireto be the work of a married man.

1., C. & D. RAILROAD.—'Thti Covington' Friend has been shown a letter from Mr. A. Locb to his brother at that place, in which lie says: "I saw Col. Wilson, of Craw fords ville, yesterday. He told ine to tell Mr. Spencc to state in his paper that the railroad is a fixed fact—that he had seen Mr. King the day before, and that King was negotiating: for the iron, and that it would be put down from [ndianapolis to Crawfordsville within sixty days, when the work would be proceeded with and finished to Covington."

CARING FOR THE DEAD.—The old town graveyard, west of the city, is in a very neglected condition. Thorns, thistles ami weeds have overgrown the spot where repose the ashes of the loved and lost. It is high time that the matter be taken in hand anil some attention paid to cleaning oil' and beautifying the place. It has been proposed that all who are interested in the matter, meet-there on Friday morning, the 4th of August, for the purpose of clearing off the rubbish that now almost obscures many of the graves. Let all be there.

MEETING OK THE BOARD OK DIRECTORS OK THE M. G. S. S. A.—The monthly meeting of the Board of Directors of the Montgomery County Sunday School Association took place last Tuesday at the photograph rooms of Mr. A. F. Wise, in this city. Reports were received from but two townshis, Union and Franklin, in which it is shown that an increasing interest is manifested in the Sunday School cause in these townships. The Corresponding Secretary was instructed to notify the Vice Presidents of Coal Creek township that they were appointed a committee, to make arrangements for holding the next Association at Pleasant Hill. The President, was ordered to call meeting in the different townships for the purpose of promoting the Sunday School cause. After a generai talk ill regard to the Sunday School interest in Montgomery county, the Board adjourned to meet a-rain the last Tuesdav in August.

SI MMER I UUITS.— An exchaiigi that acids promote the separation bile from the blood, which is then passed from the system, thus preventing fevers, the prevailing disease of summer. All fevers are'"billious," that is, the bile is in the blood. Whatever is antagonistic of fever is cooling. It is common saying that fruits are "cooling," and also berries of every description it is because the acidity which they contain aids in separating the bile from the blood. Hence the great yearning for greens, and lettuce, and salads in the early spring, those eaten with vinegar hence, also, the taste for something sour, the lemonades on an attack of fever. But this b"ing the case, it is easy to see that we nullify the good effects of fruits and berries, in proportion as we eat them with sugar, or even sweet milk or cream. If we eat them in their natural

1" the

state, fresh, ripe, perfect, it is almost impossible to cat enough to hurt us, especially if we. eat them alone, not taking any liquid with them whatever.

THROUGH THE COUNTRY. Barely is there to be seen a finer section of country than that between Crawfordsville and Attica, and especially is this true at this season of the year. Having had occasion recently to pass over this part of the country, it. is nncoiiraftinjr to Know that A cry seldom has there been a liner crop of wheat liarvested. Good judges pronounce the average yield fifteen bushels to the acre, while in some few localities it will average twenty. The corn and grass crops are fully as flattering. These times of our prosperity should remind us of the significant fact that during the war there was not a poor crop of wheat in the North. There is one thing in which the Western fanners are greatly superior to those of the East, and that is, in their full sets of agricultural machinery. The reapers, mowers, rakes, ditching machines, etc., show an enterprise greatly in favor of the Western man. The steam thresher is successfully superseding the horse power. To ride across a corn field in not so light as serviceable a sulky with plows attached, is becoming fashionable. This is but one of many instances in which we of the West have the advantage over our sometimes crusty neighbors of the East in agricultural matters.

PUTNAM'S MONTHLY MAGAZINK of Literature, Science, Art and National Interests, New York—G. P. Putnam & Son, 601 Broadway.

The best Magazine ever published in this country was Putnam's Monthly in the old days—it was the special organ of the American world of letters and its articles possessed a charm of freshness and piquancy attained by no other publication. 'or was it ''run" by the old professional scribblers, educated in a fossil age, but it was "young Americanish''—there was quick blood flowing in its veins.

What Putnam was in the days of its early history, it is since its resurrection. We have just received the August number, and a glance at the contents will show that a tempting dish awaits the literary epicure:

The H'omburg Gambling-house. Maj. Jos. Kirkland Private Bohemias, Author of "Emily Chester Our Willie, Mrs. E. C. Kinney Bits, Susan Fenimore Cooper A Night Hunt in the Adirondacks, John Burroughs Journal of a Poor Musician, S. M. Warner The Three Graces, a Madrigal, J. W. Palmer The Wedding at the Parker House, Col. John Wilder: Peking and the Chinese, Charles W. Elliott What my Friend said to me, Julia C. R. Dorr Too True, a Story of To-Dav The Romance of the Great Gaines Case, Howard 31. Perkins A Sketch in Oils, Fred. B. Perkins A Morning among Autographs, William Young The Picture of Christ, Sainl. W. Buftiela Our Civil Service Cradle Song, Alice Cary Monthly Chronicle Current Events Table Talk. Our readers are invited to call and examine Putnam. It can be ordered through the Corner Book Store. We trust a good club may be. gotten up for "Young Put" in "Old Put's" clothes, (which tit him).

TEAKINCI DOWN POCSTISUS .—We have before alluded to the practice that has been carricdon by s6me person ov persons in destroying and defacing posters and handbills wliiph aro posted up over the city. Scarcely can the paste be dry before some good-for-nothing boys or men arc engaged in defacing them and tearing them down. For the benefit of.these graceless scamps we publish the following ordinance:

SEC. 1. He. it. ordained bi/ the Mayor and Common Council of the City of CrawjordsrilhThat tiny person who shall wilfully or maliciously tear down, remove, destroy or deface any legal notice, handbill, poster, programme, or other public advertisement whatever, within the corporate limits of the City of Crawfordsville, shall be deemed guilty of a disdeineanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be lined in any sum not exceeding ten dollars.

LADOGA ITEMS.—"We copy the following from the Herald of last Thursday: A.J. Lambert, J. M. Harshbarger and Richard Graves were the first in the market with new wheat.

DIED—On Sunday evening last, after a few hours illness,'of diptluiria, a child of Mr. and Airs. Solomon, two years of age.

MivZed Yeagleyj while setting a wagon tircvon Saturday last, was overcome by heat and (fell -insensible to tlio ground. Restoratives were promptly applied, and on Tuesday lie was able to be about.

Mr. John V. Elder, late of Ladoga, but now of Lamar, Mo., became tired of bachelorhood, popped the question to a Miss Mary J. James, a native of Wis., and her answer was "Yes!" This took place in May last. Success to you, John, and may you reap in time a bountiful crop of Khler-zW/Vf-.v.

By the annual circular of Ladoga Seminary—just issued from this oilier:—we learn that, the fall term opens Monday, September 7th. Each department is thorough and under ^-charge of competent teachers. The Urates of tuition are] moderate, and the location of the institute an attractive one. Send vour address to Prof. Vawtcr, and get a circular.

The following is an estimate made by an old farmer near Ibis place, putting the average yield at fifteen bushels per acre. He contends that it don't, pay to raise wheat at £1.30 per bushel. Let's take his figures for it: For putting in, per acre, s--:t.OO seed, two bushels per acre. ^.tiO for taking off, f.'.OO for threshing, £1.•" for hauling to market, sl." total expenses, sjjspj.fji): fifteen bushels at .sl. !(), l!MiO leaving a balance.of in fa\or of the fanner, and he admits that his will yield twenty bushels per acre. A farmer sitting by said he could make eight, dollars a dav at the above figures.

Tin MTTJ.I imowx JIAID AM XTKU Nil A DOW. The brandies of a fallen tree

Green fringed a sparkling stream, While 'mid the weird embroidery A wee brown maid was seen. As a glad voice warbled out sweet, and clear, "O, come, little shadow, come here, come here."

I know where yon are, for I see yon there, 'Neath that pearly cluster of lify hells, With sunbeams tangled amid the brown hair,

While your llue eves deepen like .sunny welH Come out from the lilies, and ferns, and rines Come dance through tin: water sec how it shines!

O, saucy shadow, there you are, Deep down 'mid the mosses and wild mint sweet, Your blue eyes twinkle like a star,

And the sunbeams dimpling your wee bare feet Shadow, come nearer, a secret for thee: Dimples, tangles, and all, you're just like me. Two little bare feet exactly like mine,

Apron all torn, and but one bonnet siring And now I'll give out a song, line by line, To know bow nearly alike we can sing.

Why, shadow, the queerest thing under the sun, You open your mouth, but the sing don't come I'm really alraid that you're deaf and dumb.

Yet, 'tis not so very sad to he dumb, And I would not care much after all You can't speak the anpry words if they do come,

And can always be deal to grandmother's call. Sonicboby's calling me now—don't you hear:' You can't—I forget! now kiss me good bye One, two—I am ready: now, shadow, come near

O, there goes a sunbeam right into your eye

Splash goes the little brown maid in the stream All frightened, the shadow glides swiftly away, The forests re-echo the wee brown maid's scream.

And a farmer boy's footsteps hastening that war.

Our wee brownie liitsic's growing vain, I fear: I: lint then 'lis the way of the world, alter all, To watelMts own shadow when waters are clear

Forgetting that "pride ever goes before fall." And all lassies who would a true womanhood win, Avoid vanity's breakers, lest ye tumble in.
