GEN. LEW "WALLACK lias appointments to canvass the Terre Haute district, commencing on the 20th inst.

Grapes are plentiful this season, and are selling in this market by the quantity at ten cents per pound.

Wuhave received a communication from Darlington without the real name of the author. It goes to the waste basket.

BIG Tunc.—Our Republican friends at Ladoga, are preparing to have a big time there on the 19th. IIon.G.S. Ortliand Gen. Lew Wallace are the advertised speakers.

BASKKT MEETING.—A basket meeting will be held at Darlington on next Saturday ana Sunday. Rev. T. S. Webb, and Itev. G. W. Stafford will be present on the occasion.

AuiiAii—Mr. John Butcher left at our office on last Saturday six finely Havered freestone peaches, weighing 3G ounces. They grew in his garden in this citv..

SOUGH I'M SYRUP.—A subscriber writes from Ladoga, wanting to know ll we will take sorghum syrup on subscription. In answer we say, yes, by all means. We take anything in the shape of something to eat. Starved and hungry printers are glad to get sorghum or anything else that will appease the w-ints of the inner man.

STILL AT LAIIGK.—Griditli, the murderer of the nerro barber at Ladoga, is still at large. No efforts, we believe, have been made by the authorities for his capture. If a white man had been the victim he would have been caught in less than an hour, but as it was "nobody but a nigger," tli murderer is permitted to run at large. Shame!

ANOTHER WOKJJ TO COIUIE^PONDENTS.— We wish it distinctly understood that the JOURNAL cannot be used by correspondents as a medium through which they can vent their personal spite. We have our own liattles to fight, and hence have no desire to .-become the seconds to other parties. Correspondents will please avoid all personalities

COMMISSION,....5' I/I:T.—1The County Board adjourned on Saturday, the usual »mount of business having been transacted. Appropriations were made, amounting in the aggregate to near $5,000. Licenses to retail whiskey were granted to M. Keho and James Kelley in Ladoga, and Thomas E. Scllcy, Michael Sellers and John Carroll in Crawfordsville, and to ..Stanford. Rusk, of Jtiddletown.

CIRCUIT COURT is still in session. A number of old cases will be continued, among them the Wirt case, for murder, which has now passed over the third term. Dan. "Voorhees is the attorney for the defense. The grand jury continues in session. In case of Oliver McLeod vs. Stephen Allen et. «/., the jury were out one dnv ind night, but finally agreed on three hundred and fifty dollar damages for plaintiff. The question as to who pays this money is not yet determined by the ivtdgc.

FIIUIT STEALING.—The practice, of stealing fruit from gardens, or orchards and vineyards of the city, is one that is wrongfully looked upon by some a3 an offense of a trivial nature. We have a law on our statute books against it, yet we doubt if the law will ever be enforced. Some of these fruit thieves will get a dose of beans from a shot-gun some of these nights while they are out on their midnight raids. It would jjcrve them right.

Trifles light as feathers,

My friend PKURY WIKKEK, having gone on an electioneering tour (P. AV. is a "speaklst") through Illinois, he solicited the undersigned to act as locum tenans in his absence. lie supposes the readers of the JOUUNAI, in the city know about as much about what is going on as he does. The streets have been cleaned up tins week: the stone front is going up, front and rear folks are talking about the fair next week—the fair ones are hoping it will be fair weather so they can present a fair appearance the omnibus goes to the trains as usual—so does the express wagon: there hasn't been a light on Green street this week: the crowd around the post oflice of au evening has been considerably augmented since college commenced it rained Tuesday paw-paws have made their appearance news was received from Maine—they had an election there the "Grecian bend" has made its appearance—for a specimen see the Milesian who carries brick on Crawford's new building there was a theater in town last, week, and it was pretty good—and that's about all.

OUR COUNTY FAIR.—The annual Fair of this county will be held at the. grounds near this city, commencing 011 the 21st. and ending 011 the 23th inst. The managers have offered

of premiums, to insure a lively competition in all the various departments. It is expected that the citizens of our county, especially, will use every effort to make this the most interesting Fair we have ever had. The show of fine stock we are assured will be good. The exhibition of fine arts, mechanics, agriculturalimplemei.ti will doubtless be fully up with the times. At Danville and Russelville loud complaints were heard of the ladies, at each place their department was poorly represented. We hope this will not be so in this county. Let us have samples of good bread of all Kinds, cakes, pies pickles, and everything in cookery. From mere want of competition don't allow a poor article to carry off a nice set of silver spoons, or a silver cake basket. Bring on a little of everything that is new and excellent thus you will inspire a commendable emulation. Ample arrangements have been completed for the accommodation of exhibitors and visitors, and should the weather prove favorable, we will have a profitable, and interesting Fair.

ACCIDENT TO MR.ORTH.—Hon.G.SOrth met with a painful accident on Tuesday of last week, lie had taken a seat in an open buggy with a friend at the head of the Warren county delegation, and while going up a hill near Independence, the buggy seat, which was loose, turned over, throwing Mr. Orth out backwards. IJe is a very heavy man and fell at deadweight, striking a large stone which lay in the road. lie Was badly shaken up and considerably bruised, but managed to fill his appointment at Montmorency the same evening. The next day he was scarcely able to be about, and was compelled to forego his appointment at Stock well. lie hopes, however, to be on hand for the remainder of his appointments.

CROQUET.—This fashionable amusement, called by some croquet, and others a tame game of billiards, is becoming quite popuular in our city. The first set was purchased by Mrs. Emma Wilson over a year ago. The little Misses of College Hill had tin public spirit to get up some tableaux this last summer, and devoted tin profits to purchasing the second set used here. Since then, other parties hav& supplied themselves, and the yards now present a gay appearance. Wo understand that Miss 31ary Johnson, now visiting at Dr. Sloan's, was victorious in a recent match game of croquet, played at Fort Wayne.

EXCKLSIOU.—The JOURNAL acknowledges the receipt of a half-dozeu sweet, juicy, delicious poaches, whose aggregate weight was thirty-eight ounces. The donor was Polly Ann, whose bump of generosity grows apace with her ambition to excel in horticulture. We shall look for Polly with her apron full at the Fair. Accompanying the above-named half-dozen, was a small note, which read as follows: ..

These peaches I send By the man with the team: :. I'd also be glad

To send you some cream, Kut the story is sad— I almost could cry, To tell you, alas! "The old cow is dry."

u."—The author of "S. B.," is informed that his or her effusion cannot be published until the real name is known. We think this has been said enough. All such go to the waste basket. Time is only lost to the writer.

PKRSONAL.—David Pyke, Esq., of Thorntown, dropped in on us yesterday. He is in the city making arrangements for the hurrah meeting at Thorntown, on the 7th of October. Tie. has engaged the. Silver Band, and the Gun Squad.

The Little Excelsior Corn Sheller.

This little Machine excels all others for cheapness, durability, convenience and adaptability to its work. It is pronounced by all who have seen it work, to Vie. the most complete Macliinc yet invented, accomplishing an enormous amount of work, and saving to the farmer an uncalculable amount of time, labor and money, at the same time affording the means of employing his boys, as boys of twelve years can manage it, with ease. It is capable of shelling fifty bushels per day, with the labor of one man. It shells, separates and sacks at the same time, thereby saving two handlings, which most other machines make necessary. It does its work thoroughly and expeditiously, taking every grain off the cob, leaving the corn clean, sacked and ready for mill or market.

The agents invite all to test its power and adaptability, feeling certain that it will verify all they say, and convince the most skeptical that it is one of the greatest laborsaving Machines ol the age. It weighs but twelve pounds, and costs only five dollars! The cheapest Machine ever made that will accomplish so much work. For sale by Dolierty, Mahorney & Co. 52w6

It is well known to many of our first class physicians, of what White Pine Compound is compounded and is freely recommended by them in diseases of the Throat, Lungs, Chest, and Kidney troubles. Aa a medicine it acts the. part of the Good Samaritan.

Groundless Objections.

Objections are sometimes raised against certain medicines on the ground that they cure so many different diseases. A moments reflection will expose the shallowness of such an argument, for there is scarcely a medicinal drug of any kind that is not used for more than one disease. The reason why 3Iishler's Herb Bitters cures so many diseases is because it is the best remedy ever discoverd for a deranged stomach, or Dyspepsia, and because it invigorates the. entire system, strengthens the nervous fibres, elevates the standard of all the vital forces, and sustains a most healthful tone of the entire human organism. Medicinc that will do this, will cure any disease for the simple reason that nature will do the rest. It is a sure protection against disease and if the importance of protective medication were generally understood, no family in the land would risk being without this great, Household Remedy for a single day.
