In all your correspondence you have neve? had a. word £rom, JtfewRichmond, it having only'tfeeii'mentioned once by one of your correspondents, and as you have not had any news from this township lately, I thought I would send you a few items. '"iOf-L''

Our village is rather obesfctfe and has not the commercial importance of other towns in the county, but to us it is of great importance. We have one general store and two grocery stores—the former is Owned by Dilling and Plunket, the latter are owned by D. L. White and Campbell & Bro. We also have a good wagon slxop. andtwo blacksmith- shops. In addition to these, we have a good school and two churches for the moral and intellectual training of the citizens Alfred Ebrite is teaching the winter term of school, and gives general satisfaction. There is one evil that I will not neglect to mention: we are helping to build up an adjoining county and town instead of our own. I allude to the fact that most of our buying and selling that is not done in our own village, is done in LaFayette, instead of Crawfordsville. The reasons are evident, and we are not to blame, There is a'-good gravel road from the county line, one and a half miles north of here, to LaFayette, and to go to Crawfordsville—well it is almost impossible with such dirt roads as we have. Shame on the business men of your city! Why don't they do some^ thing to build up the trade of the city. We raise immense quantities of wheat, corn, &c., which would find a way into your markets, if we only had passable roads.

I think Tom.Tattler could make money by going lecturing—subject: ''The Corset." After visiting the principal cities and towns in the Union he should come to New Richmond, and we would give him a rousing house. He might also bring his wonderful baby as a living curiosity, superior to anything Barnum ever exhibited. ENOCH AKL-EN.

"O! wad sae p»wer the giftie gie us, To see oursels, as ithers see ns,"

This is our text for to-day's sermon^ and'is fdttnd fn Robl^ Burns. Xow, Mr: iii common withjth,!^ good people pf Darlington and vicinity, regardless of politicalopr religious affinities were shocked at reading in the last JOUKXAL, the following personal thrust and want of truthful statement besides. $ S ••Would it not be Ss well for Arch. Johnson to .be at Indianapolis, where lie: i.« paiaj hi Senator, as to be* lflboring'"at Darlington to have the people taxetl to the tunejof some $200.000vto builda railroad alongside his lands''? B.MANX."

As we claim.to be a faithful phrpniclist of the events of our township, ancf to give friends and enemies alike the benefit of truth and justice, wc therefore ask to correct the above statement. It is true that Mr. Johnson was present at our railroad meeting on the23d: tha,t his counsels were solicited, aiid he came. But it is not true that he is laboring to have the people taxed to the above "•tune neither does the road run within a mile of his lands. He is a stockholder in the new company to the "tune" of §1,000, and one of its directors also. As a public spirited man,, and one fayoring internal lantl'valuable fill bile improvements, as one of our heaviest tax payers in the county, he expresgejji a hearty willjBji^ees to besflr an "additional tax to help build the road, as did other solid men and representatives tso

The Legislature which meets here every Friday evening, is creating con-

siderable sensation perhaps more than the General Assembly, which meets at Indianapolis! Quite an excitement is caused by the passage of Galbrath's Temperance Bill, which was introduced hat gentleman at the early the session. The bill passed the House last

Friday evening after a much heated discussion. The bill in short places a fine of $5 on the person who gets drunk, for the first offense, and $10 and imprisonment in the county jail for thirty days, for the second offense. The vender, who sells to a person so that he gets drunk is fined $500 and imprisonment in the county jail not under one nor more than twelve months. The lovers of the "critter" round here begin to look rather ancliolj\ The officers in part of the Legislature, are Male Smith speaker Wm. Fraley clerk George Deans ser-geant-at-arms. About forty counties are represented. Politically, the House stands on a full vote, a"bout a majority of two democratic.

house was as neara paradise as is ever found on earth. When her husband c^m^ho|ne«tr^igHt,' frbiii his toil, tired, hungry andVexed with the cares and troubles of the day a half hours thumping on the piano never failed to lull him into a sweet dream of connubial bliss, after which he went co the kitchen, made himself a cup of coffee, drew forth from a small box under the a bench, some pieces of cold bread left from dinner, and thus made out his supper while his "lady" remained in the parlor to read the last Speech by Lucy Stone on Woman's Rights. Can you imagine Ja sweeter picture of married life than this, Messrs. Editors? Of course, you cannot, but you wont say so, because you are .prejudiced againfe tithe* srfahin's S^ghMtaovement. You think God made woman to be a "help meet" for man instead of a parlor ornament, in all of which you are mistaken but we do not expect you to acknowledge your mistake soon. Preju dice is hard to overcome. But, Messrs. Editors, if you will study your Bible a little more closely, you may have a different notion about woman's rights. The Lord never said that Eve should eat bread in the sweat of her face. He said this of Adam, her husband. True, Eve was made to be a "help meet" for Adam, but what was she to help him to do Not to work, for at the time she was made to be a "help meet" for Adam, the groundliad no.t been pursed and doomed to bring forth thorfis^ind thistles.1' Tli'ey1 were in Paradise where there was nothing to do and the language cannot be construed to mean that she was to cook, and sew, and wash dishes, for Adam. I'm for woman's rights, Messrs. Editors. The delicate hands of the gentler sex were never intended to be .soiled with work. It was never intended they should suckle babies, comb childrens' heads, &c. Why, sirs, if the babies had to depend on sucking their mothers for a living, these days, they would all starve. This proves it was not intended woman should always continue to raise babies. If it had been so intended, would'nt nature furnish something better than a bunch of cotton for them to suck Ah, sirs, the days when a baby drew its nourishment from a mother's breast, are gone, woman has got into a "higher sphere" than she used to occupy, and old things are done away. Tom Tattler understands the new order of things, and he takes up with it like a true hero. He feeds his baby out of a tip-cup, with cows' milk in a manner th&t would be satisfactory to Lucy Stone herself. I've been there and seen him do it. What's the sense in a woman getting her nice clothes soiled in handling a baby, so long as its father can feed it on cows' milk, out of a tin-cup? You are right, Tom., stand up for the woman reforn, and that child will remember you and the old cow when all the babbling opposers of woman's rights are forgotten.

John Peterson, Sr., has been improving his buildings for some time past, which adds greatly to the appearance of his place, but lacks some 94 rails of having his fences just as a good farmer ijvould like to have them.
