ALAMO TATTIISGS.

—The protracted meeting at the Methodist Church has closed, after a satisfactory continuance of three weeks. —"A thing of beauty is a joy for*ever." This old adage recurs to me, every time I pass that nice new fence in front of N. W. Grimes's residence. —Joseph H. Brown has the contract for seating the Alamo Academy, with
Rankin's Patent Desk. —J. C. McKinsey has sold 80 acres of his farm, the south half, 40 acres cleared, balance timber, to Dr. Brown and Joel Tucker, for $5,000. Josh has twenty acres within a stone's throw of the Alamo Academy building, for which he will take $75 per acre. Cheap as dirt, that. —The Yountsville and Alamo Turnpike Company met at the office of A. J. Snyder, on Saturday last, and organized by the election of R. McMacken, A.J. Snyder and John Smith, directors. McMacken is President, and Snyder Treasurer. The company proposes to extend the road to the residence of Henry Roach in Fountain county, if the people along the line will subscribe the stock to build their respective sections. If the people of Alamo want a gravel road, this is their golden opportunity. —James Black wants a house keeper. ITe is keeping "Bach" and don't like it. Jim has a good farm, good house, and good general '*fixins besides he is a good fellow. Girls don't all speak at once. And don't wear a corset or Jim won't have you. —Henry Clay Larsh is teaching school in Union township. —Daniel Horton Gilkey is teaching a good school at Bunker Hill. —Joseph A. Gilkey has revived No 7, till it is one of the best schools in the township. If you want a live school, employ a live teacher such as "Ad." —Evan Fink has a large school near Yountsville. A young Mr. Munn assists him. —James M., Simpson was seen mixing mortar for the conlpletion of the plastering of the Academy building during the week. People say it becomes him much better than teaching. —The common school of Alamo taught by Simpson and Miss Clark, will be conducted temporarily in the Academy building. —A picture of the hour giass is symbolical of the flight of time, and the shortness of human life. Every time I see a yoiing lady compressed into the shape of anTiour glass by the use of the execrable corset, I am reminded that the sands of her life are fast running awav. —The stockholders of the Alamo Academy met on Saturday last, for the purpose of electing seven Trustees. Hon. John Purdue of Lafayette, Hon. Henry Roach of Fountain county, Dan Yount. of Yountsville, and John W. Copner. John P. Lundgren, John A.Clark, and James M. Simpson, were elected. Joseph A. Gilkey and Thomas Elmore, hold over from the old board. —The finances of the Institution are in a good condition. Robert Stimson has been appointed Financial Agent. It is hoped that he will make his appearance soon, and go to work. —A general gloom was oust over this entire community, by the death of Rhoda—wife of Capt. James A. McClelland on the 24tli ult. Mrs. McClelland was a daughter of Abijali O'Neal Esq. They had been married but little over a vear. —Another young bride, the wife of Marion Mathew died suddenly on Sunday morning, the 27th. She had been sick, but was convalescent. She arose, and dressed herself, and ate a hearty breakfast she then complained of drowsiness and lay down, and went into a sound slumber. Mr. Mathews stepped out for a few minutes, and when he came back she was sleeping "the sleep that knows no waking." —William Bell and Mary Fisher, were married on Christmas. —The Masonic Festival on Saturday the 26th, was a success. A line supper was served to a fine assemblage of the finest people in the country. Alter supper a set of jewelry was presented to the prettiest girl, who was chosen by ballot. Miss Caroline Henry carried oft* the palm by seventy odd majority. —That new baby is still growing, can begin to crow, has been laughing when not crying for the last three weeks- If the Taitler lives, it shall never wear a CORSET. —George McKinsey and family have been visiting his friends during the past week. He resides in Fora county Illinois and raised 400 bushels of corn his year. TOM TATTLER. [If "Tom Tattler" will call at the JOUR-
NAL Office, Stone Front, the next time he is in the city, he will receive from the JOURNAL compositors a present, in the shape of a bottle of good black ink— provided he will use it when he writes Tattlings.]

We extend the
Rosenbarger Vice-President Miss Kate Gaskil Secretary. They preside with much dignity. The "Coming Woman" question was debated a
since: RESOLVED, That woman should have the right of suffrage. Aft": W. W. Mikels: Neg: Dave Thompson. The discussion was interesting and spicy was was participated in by others not members of the Society. The pres't gave a negative decision, but the vote of a crowded hall was largely in favor of woman suffrage. The question will come up again, when we will report.
Mr. McNeil has moved here from Dayton Ohio. He is a gentleman of "stamps" and enters into partnership with Harper and Holloway in a large Dry Goods and Hard-ware establishment.
Samuel Nelson, a "vuleanist" has removed here from the city of Lebanon. He "blows and strikes" at Wheelers.
It was over good pleasure on last Monday evening to attend the closing exercisrs of Mr. John Stewart's vocal music class at Campbell'? Chapel. A packed house, with excellent decorum observed, merits notice but most to be enjoyed was the beautiful harmony of sweet sounds. From the proficiency manifested by both young ladies and gentlemen we concluded that for vocal singing the Chapel vicinity can't be beat.
The rail road meeting Saturday night was a success in point of numbers and enthusiasm. We don't see the "terminus" at Crawfordsville.
If the young man that removed Dr. Nivew's sign from his office after nightfall. will return the same, he will save himself a visit to Crawfordsville and some expense.
Dave Loeman, a Chirographist, is conducting a class in the Academy hall. Hymen, the god of Love that "Moves in a mysterious way the wonders to perform." has been
young people, drawing them tojjethr by some unexpected affinity. Lately many happy culminationt have taken place, and more soon to follow. The last are Mr. Frank Custard and Miss Eliza Cox Mr Corwin Mote and Miss Josie Kelsey. May youthful happiness ever keep joyous tlieir lives.
FROM WAYJfETOWX.
[Our Waynetown correspondent "Scribbler" sends us .three pages of foolscap, from which we managed to extract the following information. We beg to remind him and all our correspondents that NEWS is what we want, not abortive attempts at "fine writing"]
On the 31st inst, Mr. E. M. C. Small was married to Miss Sarah M. McAllister. all of Wavnetown.
The ladies of Family No. 124, Eastern Star Degree, adopted 'Masonry, gave a Masonic dinner on New Years day. I was informed by a lady member that the hall was decorated very finely for the occasion, and that a bounteous repast was partaken of by the members of Family and their house-holds, and that a general good feeling prevailed, and everybody went away satisfied.
Chris. Cougar has sold his farm west of here to L. Cooper, and bought half of the Snyder & Hutch farm, one mile north of town.

SARMNROS FROM RATTLE SNAKE.
—The contractors of the Rattlesnake bridge, have postponed their work indefinitely.
Daniel Kelsey has a "splinter-new" wood house and buggy shed, all under the same roof. Wonder if "Uncle Daniel" will sympathize with his poor neighbors who scratch their wood from under the snow.
Thompson Davis is preparing to build a brick dwelling house, during next season.
A Literady society has been organized at school house No. 21, Union township, which convenes regularly every Thursday evening.
Mat. Martin has exchanged farms with Mr. McCarty of Boon county. Alfred Grimes recently sold his farm to A. J. Shulan and has settled in the quiot little town of Russelville, Putnam county.
The crisis is upon us. "No paper will be sent by mail, unless paid for in advance," "in the mean time call !ind see how your account stands." Messrs. Editors of the JOURNAL, do you mean by this standing notice in your paper, that our old accounts with Gilkey, lveeney and Snyder, our last years account with you and, "and one year in advance'" must all be paid before we are entitled to the Crawfordsville JOURNAL for the ensuing year If so we can do better, we can get a larger paper for less money. If you will cast up our accounts, you will see that we are correct. We would rather do without the JOURNAL, than to pay these old accounts.
